This one from charlottecooper - 5 songs I'm diggin' this week:

"It's My Life" by Wendy O Williams from lovelikeyeast mix CD. Not the mean Animals tune, which I also love, but a cheesy 80s sludge rock affirmation that's almost as good. Like the next track I'm choosing, this one has been knocking around in my head for 20 years or more, and I'm thrilled to have it at long last ( Read more... )

Wait! That was her in the ping pong ball scene in that porno I saw when I was 14? I never knw that. Full marks for her internal muscles.

Yeah. I remember hearing the news of her death, and A. and I mourned something awful.

Royaltoots, I'm so glad the sludge of that song has stuck with you in a (mostly) good way!

I knew something happened to her but I didn't know she shot herself, feel oddly sad now. I remember her record with Lemmy too.

The lyrics sound quite poignant with hindsight. Rock'n'roll is a hard road.

I'VE GOT A REPUTATION
PEOPLE KNOW WHO I AM
RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN
CAN'T KILL WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
I SEE YOU'RE RUNNING SCARED
I NEVER KNEW YOU CARED
GO HIDE YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND
BEEN TO HELL AND BACK
I SURVIVED AND THAT'S A FACT

IT'S MY LIFE
AND I DO WHAT I WANNA, DO WHAT I WANNA, DO WHAT I LIKE
IT'S MY LIFE
AND I DO WHAT I WANNA, DO WHAT I WANNA DO.

Thanks for passing on that meme! I couldn't get that Wendy O Williams track could I?
