With a new album, “Sinner,” released on her own Blackheart Records label, the time seems right for Jett to reintroduce herself to a generation that probably knows her only as that lady who sang “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” back in the early ‘80s.īut Jett was a “woman in rock” long before that term became a catchphrase. “To me, it means being a rebel, being an underdog, being outside and doing it yourself.” “I never subscribed to the idea that punk rock means you have to play fast and scream,” Jett says, speaking by phone while on the road recently. The band is Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, a group that’s been around since the early 1980s, decades before the Warped Tour even existed.Īt 45, Jett is at least twice the age of the kids she’s playing to (and with) this summer, but in some ways she fits right in. They recently played four sold-out dates at small clubs in New York, including CBGB.Īnd now, for the first time, they’re one of the star acts at America’s premier punk festival, the Vans Warped Tour. They scored a breakthrough single and signed to a major label. The awful things these people (who in the context of the song may be dead, based on the nature of how most of them sing about how this c*nt had murdered them) list about the guy range from sleazy and douchebag-y to the comedically extreme and violent, like castration.They pounded the club circuit for years and released their first album independently. There was this one line where a man recalls the time that this "c*nt" attempted to "castrate him, even though the knife/blade was blunt" Towards the end they all chant "he's a c*nt" over and over and it ends with this character saying "I'm a c*nt -)" The tone was comedic and was sung like a musical number, with each character saying some line like "he shot me", "he stabbed me", etc. The song was about several people singing about how this one guy is "a c*nt" and singing about the horrible things he has done. I'm looking for a corny song that I vividly remember being used in a SFM animation with Team Fortress 2 characters. Ok I'm embarassed now but any older folk can help me figure this one out that would be awesome! holding the note I guess? Lol) then the whole chorusy-ooh part repeats. The last word that is sung is stretched (I don't really know what the musical term for it is. This repeats a lot towards the end of the song. So here is an idea on what I think I'm hearing. I hear it at work where its noisy so trying to decipher the lyrics is hard. The song is almost disco-like maybe slightly rock'ish, a good beat to it, so I'm placing around the mid to lafe 70s and early 80s. Its by a female singer, strong voice, not whiney etc. I don't know who sings it or what the song is even called. Hopefully someone can help me figure out a song I have heard only a few times on a radio station called Magic which plays 50s, 60s, 70s and some 80s music. If anyone should do so, thank you so much in advance <3 Tried to search it by lyrics but didn't have any success with that, now I can only hope that someone might recognize it from my description. Then and the thing again, followed by the spoken part and the refrain again, some instrumental twang and then a last vocals-only. Text snippets include something along the lines of (spoken not sure I heard that one right though),, followed by that refrain. It has some repetitive s, some spoken parts and a refrain that seems to go. It has kinda mid-slow-country-rock-y or maybe indie rock vibes (?) with prominent drums and some steel twang.
Trying to find the last song played during the end credits of the German movie 'Männer wie wir' (apparently known as 'Guys and Balls' in English?), starts at around 01:39:20 if anyone wants to check.
