YTunes Shuffle with Bobbie Oliver's Fave5 Songs

BOBBIE OLIVER
Bobbie is orginally from Georgia, packed full of theatre nerd and overall comedy fan! You've seen her on TNN, The Style Network, as well as clubs like The Comedy Store, The Ice House, The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club and performed for coporate events including NASA and USC. PLUS, she runs the TAO Comedy Studio in Los Angeles which is female and LGBT friendly, teaching classes, running mics and shows AND a yearly festival called Riot Grrl Laugh Festival.


This is the sound track to her life and a few "Nuggets" about each of the artists:

CHEECH AND CHONG “Earache My Eye” (1974)
Cheech does sing this song, except they lip-synch to the track during appearances. This is their only Top 10 hit.


BLONDIE “Call Me” (1980)
Stevie Nicks was the first choice to sing this but she declined the offer.



DE LA SOUL “The Magic Number” (1989)
This comes from the album “3 Feet High and Rising” which comes from Johnny Cash's track from “5 Feet High and Rising.” You can hear his voice in this song.


JANIS JOPLIN “Me And Bobby McGee” (1971)
This song was written by Kris Kristofferson. This was the song/cover that brought his career to the next level. In fact, everytime he sings he, he still thinks of Janis.
Janis left $1500 in her will for a funeral party. The Grateful Dead performed.


BIKINI KILL “Rebel Girl”(1992)
The band encouraged women to come to the front of the stage and handed out lyric sheets for them. Singer Kathleen Hanna would crowd surf to remove the male hecklers. Many of their shows, male concert-goers verbally or physically assaulted Kathleen.
Keep up with Bobbie Oliver and her comedy/studio/album by following her on Instagram and Twitter.
