We all can agree that Liz's song are awesome & definately original, but sometimes she'll throw in a borrowed tune. Read on and you'll see what I mean.
I'll Get You High
[sung to the tune of the Flintstones theme:]
Bimbo, meet the bimbo Do You love Me
....."It's in my kiss, that's where it is"
(Dont laugh, but I honestly think Liz stole this line from that Cher song that was in the movie 'Mermaids'. If you listen to the song, you'll hear it a little.)
Sometimes a Dream (Is What Makes You a Slave)
[taken from an old kids rhyme]
Bubblegum, Bubblegum Black Market White Baby Dealer
Sung to the tune from 'My Bonny Lies Over The Ocean'
Hello Sailor
"...That I'm a little despot, short and stout "...I'm a little prostitute, I put out and sell "...I'm a little liberal, I'm stupid in doubt All sung to the tune of 'I'm a little teapot'.
Wild Thing
Liz 'rewrote' the lyrics to this Steppenwolf song, and recorded it for Girlysounds.
Miss Lucy
Miss Lucy had a steamboat Lyin' by the refrigerator Ask me no more questions Once again, Liz is borrowing kids rhymes and putting them in her songs :-)
Chopsticks
The tune of this song is that of 'Chopsticks'...that piano song that every single person who has taken piano lessons has been forced to play.
Whip-Smart
[chorus]
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing Borrowed from a Micheal Mclaren song, as mentioned in the liner notes of Whip Smart.
Fantasize
....."Hey, you've got to hide your love away"
A line from the Beatles song 'You've got to hide your Love Away'. Although Liz doesn't sing this line to the same tune of the Beatles song, many fans still feel she borrowed it.
She's a modern stone-age
family
Drowned out, thrown out of
Glencoe
She's a face without a history
Now that cat will stay out for
the night
Fred gets in a terrifying fight
We all back down and beg him
not tonight
Come in the living room and dry
your eyes
Dry your eyes
Girlysounds
In a dish
How many pieces do you wish?
My mother told me to pick the very best one
And you are it
Here is my handgun, here is my crowd control
When you tick me off then the bullets fly out..."
Here come the market monkeys with their little
fontainelles
When they tip me over, they better tip me well..."
Here is my platform, here is my holy roller
When you snow me under, I rock and roll you out..."
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Lucy went to Heaven
And her steamboat went to...
Hello operator
Can't know my number
And if you disconnect me
I'll cut off the...
There was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy fell upon it
And she cut her little...
I'll tell you no more lies
The boys in the parlor
Zipping down their flies
Whip Smart
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
