Track:He's Got the Power
So I wouldn't actually call myself a feminist, but I spent a lot of time at the all girls college which is next door to me, and there is so much eau-de-woman-studies floating around that its hard not to pick up a little bit of it....So here we go, the theme today is:h2. +Girls rocking out and taking names.+ 
For the first track, I'm skipping a lot of earlier tracks (billie, aretha obviously came to mind) and jumping into the 1960's with what might be one of my favorite instantly explosive pop tracks. You know who these girls are even if you dont actually know them. They were the original recorders of +'Do Wah Diddy Diddy'+ which became a huge hit after "Manfred Mann":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Mann covered it. Actually I would be super psyched if someone could dig up the original, I haven't heard it in years.
