Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world.
Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: Headlock - Imogen Heap
Topic: Chipettes
American History. Oh, sure, it's interesting. Who doesn't love hearing about how Alexander Hamilton was an angsty bastard-child who spent most of his time making controversial decisions and making people feel testy? Who doesn't love thinking about Ben Franklin: diplomat, inventor and lay-dies man extraordinaire (invention patents = free French Sluts)?
But it's not useful.
I mean, when I'm living under a bridge with my mp3 player and a bunch of feral dogs, knowing facts about the Great Gaspee Affair really won't help me wrestle that moldy steak out of Bingo's greedy jaws.

What does American History, impending tests, and my lack of a future have to do with the music I'm posting?
Nothing whatsoever. Which is why I'm posting it. When the working day is done, girls just want to have fun, damn it.




The Chipmunks and Chipettes were my childhood heroes. It's impossible not to love them: if not for the the high-pitched voices and the frothy pop music, then most certainly for the ability to rock out and mock Miami Vice in one episode.

Having already typed this out twice (Dear blogpublisher: They are "entries," not "entrees." Quit eating them), I feel the need to say: If you have no idea who I'm talking about, read about them on Wikipedia, or Progressive Boink and don't make me type anything else.

The first song comes from their first feature-length film, "The Chipmunk Adventure." Oh, it had its faults; for instance, some might think that a movie with gender wars and diamond smuggling isn't the best material for "growing minds." Poppycock, I say. I never smuggle on school nights, and when I smack around my male prostitutes, they're damn happy about it. It had some great music, like The Girls Of Rock And Roll and We're Off To See The World!

Plus, it opened the door for a cover of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, without which the world would cease to exist.

Love these songs as I loved them. Because they are the only true thing in this world.
You're right, Brittany.
I do want to be the one who walks in the sun. Oh, I just wanna have fun.
