What’s the weirdest “girl” song in rock history?

The Cramps’ “What’s Inside a Girl?” has to be near the top, garage rock, psychobilly, sleaze, camp, and pure Lux Interior madness.

It’s in the new Still in Rock playlist: Songs About Girls; from American Girl to Summer Babe, from power pop romance to punk weirdness.

The Dictators did not exactly do subtlety, “(I Live For) Cars and Girls” says it all before the first chord even hits.

“Summer Babe” belongs to that perfect category

“Summer Babe” belongs to that perfect category of girl songs where the girl is half-person, half-weather, half-memory.

The new Still in Rock playlist gathers songs about girls: crushes, myths, heartbreaks, fantasies, and beautifully distorted little portraits.

With Pavement, Tom Petty, The Beat, The Only Ones, The Cramps, and more.

🎸 New Still in Rock playlist: Songs About Girls

After a previous playlist dedicated to bands with female lead singers, this one turns to rock’s endless fascination with “girls”, muses, troublemakers, heartbreakers, icons, clichés, dreams, and distortions.

Featuring The Beat’s irresistible “Rock N Roll Girl” and many more songs where “girl” is not just a word in the title, but a whole mythology.

Tom Petty knew it: sometimes all you need is one girl, one riff, and one chorus that sounds like it has always existed.

“American Girl” joins the new Still in Rock playlist: a collection of songs about girls, real, imagined, mythologized, romanticized, misunderstood.

From power pop to punk, garage, indie, and classic rock, this is a playlist about one of rock’s oldest obsessions.
