Johnny Get Angry

I can't stop listening to "Johnny Get Angry" by Joanie Sommers. This is simultaneously both the best and the worst song in the world to me right now. Go take a moment and listen to it, if you please.

Seriously, it's like the smell of gasoline... you're not really supposed to like it, but you're still sometimes irresistably drawn to it. (Note: Kids, don't huff gas.)

Worst:
- Dude, the lyrics. Are you serious? I feel like a bad feminist for liking this song.

Best:
- Dude, the lyrics!
- It has an awesome bass line!
- There's a kazoo solo in the middle! A KAZOO SOLO.
- It's probably secretly about BDSM! (Ok, probably not, but it amuses me to think so.)
- It's really catchy and I can't get it out of my head! (Maybe that should be on the "Worst" list...)

Moral of the story: Just because a woman is singing doesn't necessarily mean it's a revolutionary act and/or a groundbreaking threat to the establishment. *coughlilithfaircough*

The lyrics, for posterity:

Johnny I said we were through
Just to see what you would do
You stood there, and hung your head
Made me wish that I were dead

Oh, Johnny get angry
Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a caveman
Johnny show me that you care, really care for me

Every time you dance with me,
You let Freddie cut in constantly
When he does, you never speak
Must you always be so meek?

Oh Johnny get angry,
Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a caveman
Johnny show me that you care, really care for me

Every girl wants someone who
She can always look up to
You know I love you, of course
Let me know that you're the boss

Oh Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a caveman
Johnny show me that you care, really care for me
Johnny, care for me, Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny...
