Day 8: A Song You’d Put on to Clean

If anyone could get me up and moving, it’s her heavenly voice

Yesterday was an Olivia Rodrigo day

Not sure what today will be yet.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

I know Taylor Swift is not universally loved here... But there are some songs that she's written that just hit me - and so many of her songs have such good bridges. She's a fabulous lyricist. Her songs are poetry set to a melody... She got me through my divorce years ago so I will always be a loyal fan girl.

Isn't she that lady who dates the football player?

Day 8: A song you'd put on to clean

When I was married, my wife could always tell when I was cleaning because Pepe and Bottle Blondes' first, best album, Late Night Betty would be blasting. They sang in a wonderful mixture of English and Spanish, mostly salsa, driven by Pepe Raphael (also a singer with Pink Martini, but who in Portland hasn't been?). The album is just pure energy, and I need that when I have a duster in my hand. But they play in many genres, and this song is one of my favorites, led by Jessica Hollyfield, with support by Nadine Stanton -- these are your The Bottle Blondes, ladies and gentlemen! And I love the history on this. @morelikeasong, I am going to violate Rule One for this, but it is necessary. If this means I burn my Second Song Pass, so be it. Or, you know, spanking...

In 1953, Georgia Gibbs released a song called "I Want To Be Your Baby," a Jump Blues song that did well enough to get her on the Ed Sullivan Show. It got the attention of Grace Chang, an actress and singer from China who had the stage name Lo Kan. Grace had been raised in China and trained as a member of the Beijing Opera until her family moved to Hong Kong when she was in her teens. There she became famous for both her voice and her comic films with some 30 movie credits. She covered "I Want to be Your Baby" in a mixture between Mandarin and English as "我要你的愛," or "Wo Yao Ni de Ai," meaning "I Want Your Love." And that is the version the Bottle Blondes sing here. It is unique, and it is lovely. I always stopped the vacuum when this one was on and just danced...

"我要你的愛," Pepe and the Bottle Blondes.

The song is about getting clean. It's also a song I love to sing, which I often do while cleaning. Does that count?

Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park

Day 7: A song that deserves more credit

I've used this space before to lament how I didn't get into Sleater-Kinney earlier in life, and listening to their earlier work just sort of reaffirms that. Dig Me Out deserved to be a bigger hit, and earlier live recordings have the urgency of a younger band, but the sound quality is bootleg as hell on those, so we'll go with this one, which still hits, especially b/c Janet Weiss if a beast.

Day 8: A song you'd put on to clean

Really, it's whole record, b/c none of the songs are long enough to do anything but unwind the vacuum cord and plug it in.

Day 8: A song you’d put on to clean

The first song that came up when I shuffled my all-purpose playlist. It's nearly time to start cleaning so no reason not to let it all play out.

Day 8: A song you’d put on to clean

Definitely one of my go to songs when I finally start cleaning, thinking aloud, "Alright, I gotta' clean this f'n place!"

Day 8: A song you’d put on to clean

The biggest cleaning job is the bathroom here. Think of me in all my sexyness: trashy cleaning clothes, bucket, giant sponge, and some mid-tempo kick drum to keep me going.
Before you know it I'm a hot spent mess that smells of lemon-scented cleaner. Irresistible, no?

Falling hard
