apropos de mini-documentarul despre femei in punk numit “typical girls” [partea 1, partea 2, partea 3], doua piese clasice – si versurile:

• the slits: “typical girls” (cut, 1979)
  

  Don’t create
  Don’t rebel
  Have intuition
  Can’t decide

  Typical girls get upset too quickly
  Typical girls can’t control themselves
  Typical girls are so confusing
  Typical girls – you can always tell
  Typical girls don’t think too clearly
  Typical girls are unpredictable
  Predictable

  Typical girls try to be
  Typical girls very well

  Typical girls are looking for something
  Typical girls fall under spells
  Typical girls buy magazines
  Typical girls feel like hell
  Typical girls worry about spots, fat, and natural smells
  Stinky fake smells

  Typical girls try to be
  Typical girls very well

  Don’t create
  Don’t rebel
  Have intution
  Don’t drive well

  Typical girls try to be
  Typical girls very well

  Can’t decide what clothes to wear
  Typical girls are sensitive
  Typical girls are emotional
  Typical girls are cruel and bewitching
  She’s a femme fatale
  Typical girls stand by their men
  Typical girls are really swell
  Typical girls learn how to act shocked
  Typical girls don’t rebel

  Who invented the typical girl?
  Who’s bringing out the new improved model?
  And there’s another marketing ploy
  Typical girl gets the typical boy

  The typical boy gets the typical girl
  The typical girl gets the typical boy

• x-ray spex: “oh bondage (up yours)” (germ-free adolescents, 1978)
  

  Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard
  But i think
  Oh Bondage Up Yours!

  Bind me tie me
  Chain me to the wall I wanna be a slave
  To you all

  Oh bondage up yours
  Oh bondage no more
  Oh bondage up yours
  Oh bondage no more

  Chain-store chain-smoke
  I consume you all
  Chain-gang chain-mail
  I don’t think at all

  Oh bondage up yours
  Oh bondage no more
  Oh bondage up yours
  Oh bondage no more

  Thrash me crash me
  Beat me till I fall
  I wanna be a victim
  For you all

  Oh bondage up yours
  Oh bondage no more
  Oh bondage up yours
  Oh bondage no more
