Bossy’s Ear Worm.

Welcome to Bossy’s Ear Worm, which will feature songs currently in Bossy’s headphones. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

The Pretenders, Thumbelina.

Last week during Bossy’s glamourous Spring Break when she was cleaning house, she threw all her old favorite records on her turntable, turned it up to eleven, and danced like crazy, where danced equals She didn’t dance, are you nuts, because the record would skip!

Thumbelina is among the selections on The Pretenders’ Learning To Crawl. It never was one of Bossy’s favorites back then, but Bossy loves how very Johnny Cash it is.

You go sister girlfriend Chrissie Hynde.

   When I was a little girl, I desperately wanted to BE Chrissy Hynde when I grew up. Imagine my delight when the Pretenders opened for the Rolling Stones at the 02(?) show in Chicago at Comiskey Park. Phenomenal. The copious amounts of beer and the altitude sickness from the level of our seats may have helped, but still. Phenomenal.
