Friday night is songs about strong women

[raleighnut]

I know we've had the song but this version is fantastic, Christy and Declan Sinnott

To be fair, I'm choosing to interpret thread as pretty much any song sung in first person by a woman. Particularly if the song is about her own strength.

I like that interpretation

Not gonna listen to your bad advice
I've no time left for sacrifice
I won't smile pretty I won't play nice for you or anyone

Oh - and another by the delightful Laura Cantrell - I think this might have been the Glasgow show from her UK tour when I saw her for the first time, in Gateshead and where she described this as the 'song that brought her'.

[Richard A Thackeray]

At sixteen she quit high school to make a fortune in the Promised Land
She got a job behind the counter in an all-night hamburger stand
She wrote faithfully home to mama, "now mama don't you worry none"
From small things, mama, big things one day come

Well she shot him dead on a sunny Florida road
And when they caught her all she said was she couldn't stand the way he drove

Well I can see her now, drinkin' with the boys)
(Breakin' their hearts like playin' with toys)
(She used to do the pony, used to do the stroll)

Well I'm not the world's must physical guy, but when squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine.

Great voice. Thanks.

Adele socks it to them live on a Dutch radio station. Absolutely wonderful.

This song is ruled ineligible for consideration as a strong women on a technicality.
