strutting songs

Poptart agreed with my comment below on the KT Tunstall song re: strutting :)

I admit it. I start staring people down in the street when certain songs come on. I start strutting, walking like I own the streets -- I usually do that anyway, but even moreso :P

The background beat plus the message + the incredible Mary J and the kickass Eve: "Not Today" is a total strut song. Don't ever waste your time girl.


Missy Elliott! The song title says it all "I'm Really Hot." The boasting themes of rap lend themselves to songs that make you feel good just repeating their words. "I lick my lips like I'm LL, and i'm doing it and doing it and doing it well" <3 Great dance vid too.


"I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smacking the ho"
!!!! Coming from a House of Pain, yeah whatever. Coming from me = :D


One last rap song before I move onto struttable rock songs. Like the House of Pain lyrics above, they come off even better when I'm saying "i got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one." Instant 'tude. Love it.


My fav lyric in Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" is "I'm worth a million in prizes." I feel it every time :D


From the very moment that crazy laugh and the slamming jaildoors and the guitars hit in the first second of Sham 69's "Borstal Breakout", I totally imagine a great sprint over backyards away from the police, ala that scene in Billy Elliot. I eat up that whole bravado. Nevermind that it almost comes off as a love song "Now I'm nearly home nearly back for you", it just rules as a these streets are ours kind of way. Haha look at that crowd. People all smashed up at the front. Haha I laugh at you in a i've-been-there sort of way. HA.


Okay, those are just off the top of my head, but I stop now :D Feel free to leave comments with your own strut-inducing music.
