Bo$$ Lady is Southern California, born and bred, performer, comedian, activist and rapper! She has just released an album, Champagne Pussy. These are the songs that made a big influence on her life!
SUPER TRAMP---The Logical Song
The end of the song, right after he sings “d-d-digital” is a sound that is borrowed from a Mattel handheld electronic football game. An engineer working next door, Richard Digby-Smith helped to layer the beep for the song. The sound itself indicatd a player had lost control of the football.
OINGO BOING-Just Another Day
The band was formed by Richard Elfman in the early 70's out of a musical theater troupe. They would perform Cab Calloway covers and instrumentals of Balinese gamelan and Russian ballet music. When Richard eventually left the group, younger brother Danny took over. He eventually started composing film music, and hired exclusively Oingo Boingo guitarist, Steve Bartek as the orchestrator. Films they worked on together? Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Batman series, Edward Scissorhands, Good Will Hunting, Men In Black, Spider-man, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
THE SMITHS-That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
This group was named by British Music Magazine, NME, as the “Most Influential Artist Ever.” Even over the Beatles. They were only together for five years and put out four studio albums, and have never had a number one hit in their home country. The closest they ever came...was when Mark Ronson (Uptown Funk), scored a cover of “Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before.”
OASIS-Wonderwall
The beautiful 'cello' sound you hear, is not in fact a cello. It is a Mellotron tape-playback keyboard. I know, they USE a cello in the video...but it is a keyboard. From the album, “What's The Story Morning Glory,” this is the second biggest selling album in the UK, only after “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club” by The Beatles. Actually, this song, is based on “Wonderwall Music,” an instrumental album George Harrison wrote for the movie Wonderwall in 1968. (The first solo album released by any of the Beatles.)
STEVEN UNIVERSE/ESTELLE/AJ MICHALKA-Here Comes A Thought
This is from the television show, “Stevn Universe” from the episode “Mindful Education.” It was written by the show creator, Rebecca Sugar, who sang an acoustic version at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. She describes it as a song she wrote to talk herself off the edge.
Keep up with Bo$$ Lady (Allie Rossi) and debate the music on her social media!
