Geeze, I hate to miss out on discussing Angry Chick Songs, since I got High Hopes for Michele Bolton & My "I'm Over It/I'm Over You", penned primarily for the Aussi Market...by Mz M and a 64-yr-old Male..Moi..& Musicated by Rodney, her (I'm guessin' he's Over-50) Male Producer.

It's got that "Perky Survivor" in it...plus some humor & a sense of Fun..WHICH I enjoyed in the Dixies' "Earl" Song.

I'll confess I KNEW there WAS "Something Different" to Alanis M's "You Oughta Know"..BUT I found her Easy-to-Tune-OUT in the Message Dep't via all the Kvetching. AND the Strained Vox, time-to-time again. (Tho I'll admit to being Awestruck during my First Complete Reading EVER thanks to the Lyrics being posted here.) There's just Something in that Shrillness that makes the Male in me click the "Off" Switch..& listen to perhaps The Music rather than hang on every word, when-performed.

I'm fond of Glynda & Heather's Song (& Polly)...& DO like the Survivor-Portrayed/The Tune/The Angle/The Hook. Ya know what I find the Most-Memorable Couplet in there? The one about "Finding Four Reasons" to stay. It hit me as Unique/Special..AND..I think it's both gonna Attract Men TO this Song AND change some of the "Typical Male Behavior" Patterns Out There....IF this does become a hit.

Of course, maybe I'm not the Typical Male Listener to begin-with...I totally LOVED Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats"...
(But maybe because at one time in my life I was kinda-guilty and this was a subconscious Penance Party...I dunno...)

Perhaps it was because The Protagonist in BHC took it out on The Offender's Car...rather than on His Conscience? Yeah, I'll bet that's it! ;-)>

More Power To ALL Ya Gals..& Good Luck Mzs G & H with A Winner in my book.

Best Wishes, Big Hugs,
Stan
