Myrtle Mae Musik


The 5678's became world famous after their appearance in Kill Bill with their (grating) song "Woo Hoo". But there is so much more to them! They are like the female Black Lips. I have to get their albums. I want to be in a band like this. Here they are in 1989, paying homage to the Shangri-Las with the motorcycle intro and being cooler than Kathleen Hanna.

Peace + Harmony



"You went to school to learn girl
things you never knew before
like I before E except after C and why 2 plus 2 makes 4
now, now, now
Im gonna teach you, teach you, teach you
all about love girl, all about love
sit yourself down, take a seat
all you gotta do is repeat after me

A B C , Its easy as
1 2 3 , as simple as
do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3
baby you and me girl"

Silver Screen Sirens




The beautiful and very sad Lili St. Cyr in an interview with the very demeaning, patronizing (well, it was 1950) Mike Wallace. This woman was ahead of her time.
