Ginger Snap of the Day

Throwback Wednesday!

When I was an adolescent my father was very strict on what kind of music I could listen to, in grade school he caught me with a TLC tape (Crazy, Sexy, Cool) and followed up with a mixed tape of his own. It included such bands as Kings X (don't know them? shame on you click here), Bush, Chemical Brothers. Today I thank my dad for his musical selections...

I can remember listening to a certain song that had a man singing the vocals, "I could never be your woman." As an adolescent I thought, well of course he could never be his or her woman. The person singing is a man. My imagination would run wild, does this person think the singer is a woman? Does the singer dress in drag?

To this day I have been perplexed by not only the meaning of the song, but the artist. Great Ginger, you say, but why is this coming up today??!!

Well.. today while jamming out to the Girl Talk station on Pandora, I almost deleted my employers website out of excitement when the song came on. I have never been able to find the song, or hear it again, but can always get it stuck in my head even 13 years later. "OOOH I can never be yourrr woman!"

For the last 13 years I assumed this song was by the Chemical Brothers... only to look at my phone and see the words "White Town" under band name...

WHO THE EFF IS WHITE TOWN?!

...This Ginger now admits her musical fail, and her love for a one hit wonder...
