Gah! It’s already nearly 1600 and we don’t have a Music Monday! I’m sorry, dear readers, clearly I’m distracted :-p (I usually prepare them weeks in advance). I just discovered this, but it’s in no way new. I keep a list of “Songs To Get” (Apple Mail’s Notes? le awesome), including “Sisters are Doin’ it for Themselves”, which I’d never heard and can’t even remember what or who referenced it, by Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox.
I am in love. This is one of those songs that I can crank and sing along at the top of my lungs to. I don’t know what my neighbors must think, nor do I care:
I don’t think lyrics are necessary, but here you go.
Also? I wish I could get my hair to look that great (maybe I need to dye it white). And Annie Lennox fucking rocks the leather pants. *drool*
UPDATE: Here’s the version from Xena, which is much slower (almost like a funeral dirge in comparison, really), but cute/funny.
And Here’s the Spice Girls’ version. I love Mel C.!

Annie Lennox is fucking amazing. That is all that can be said about her. She’s got too much amazingness, it seems, for just one person.

There also is a classic Simpsons scene where Homer walks in on Bart and his friend Milhouse jumping on Bart’s bed, wearing wigs, and singing this song.

Alisa: it’s apparently on their Yellow Album, but when I finally found a link to the sound, it was so heinous I refused to link to it.
