Song/Album that you feel is your life anthem: "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" by Sleater-Kinney
If you have to have an anthem, what better than, "I'm the queen of rock and roll?" I love how this song equates lust with rock idolatry and also, seethes with the self assurance and swagger not heard from women outside of the rap genre. And it totally kicks ass.
it's fine
when it's all mine
it's on my wall
it's in my head
memorize it till i'm dead
it's yours
now i'm so bored
i wanna be your joey ramone
pictures of me on your bedroom door
invite you back after the show
i'm the queen of rock and roll
i just don't care
are you that scared?
i swear they're looking right at me
push to the front so i can see
it's what i thought
it's rock'n'roll
i wanna be your thurston moore
wrestle on the bedroom floor
always leave me wanting more
throw away those old records
we go downtown
put on our best frowns
give me a chance
i know i can dance
it's fine
cus it's all mine
when it's all mine
it's on my wall
it's in my head
memorize it till i'm dead
it's yours
now i'm so bored
i wanna be your joey ramone
pictures of me on your bedroom door
invite you back after the show
i'm the queen of rock and roll
i just don't care
are you that scared?
i swear they're looking right at me
push to the front so i can see
it's what i thought
it's rock'n'roll
i wanna be your thurston moore
wrestle on the bedroom floor
always leave me wanting more
throw away those old records
we go downtown
put on our best frowns
give me a chance
i know i can dance
it's fine
cus it's all mine
