The other great thing about “Bad Girls” is that it’s simply expertly made pop music, a lusty synthetic bounce that sounds like the kind of thing these bad girls might love. If Summer had been too serious in about talking about the sad girls, she wouldn’t have included any toot toots or beep beeps. Dolly Parton said she would curl up on her bed and grab her guitar and tap her way through most of her songs. Emma Garcia’s illustrations have an Eric Carle (‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’) quality. I wonder if she too uses collage as a medium to create her images. The colours are bright and the simple images have a graphic quality, but leave me with little enthusiasm.

Of course, sometimes not everyone wants to be on a fixed schedule so we also offer Cairns private shuttle tours. This allows you the ultimate freedom to plan your stay as you want to play it. Whether it’s a trip to the airport, an inter-centre transfer or a day of sightseeing, our Cairns private shuttle tours to Port Douglas provide an effortless way to get from A to B. We can also provide shuttles to Kuranda Skyrail. Through most of the song, Summer is commenting on the lives of these “bad girls.” Summer has empathy; she sometimes describes them as “sad girls,” too. But there’s no hectoring, and Summer never takes the exhilaration out of her voice. These are just girls, she reminds us: “You ask yourself who they are/ Like everybody else, they come from near and far.” And she hints at the idea that they might’ve ended up in Los Angeles with bigger dreams: “Like everybody else, they wanna be a star.” Katterkat from FloridaHall and Oats were the same way. They would meet at the studio and bounce things off each other. Wonderful song writers have their own little magic ways of doing things and letting their magic flow. Polly from Anna, IlThis song was a great skating song at the rink! That was all that mattered to me, a great moving song!

Carmelo from Genova, ItalyThe catchy "toot toot hey beep beep" intro is one of the most sampled bits in dance music history, I see. Jane from Austin, Txwho cares about the content of this song? it's just fun to listen and dance to. Toot Toot Beep Beep’ begins with ‘Look at all this traffic!’ and proceeds to use interesting language to describe what various vehicles are doing throughout the day. Not long after “Bad Girls” hit, Summer became a born again Christian and decried the “sin and decadence” of her past life. But one great thing about a song like “Bad Girls” is that it never judges sin and decadence. Instead, it uses sin and decadence as its engines, finding a sense of fun and freedom in vice. Even after her born-again moment, Summer kept that same empathy for working women, as on the 1983 hit “ She Works Hard For The Money”— a song that’s supposedly about working-class women but that could just as easily be about sex workers. (“She Works Hard For The Money” peaked at #3. It’s a 6.)

My oldest son was 2 when this came out. He loved the upbeat sound of it. He would sing the "Toot "Toot Hey Beep Beep" as "Toot Toot Awe Beep Beep." Port Douglas is high-end but casual, and it’s not hard to see why people often combine a few days in Cairns with a few days at Port Douglas. With activities such as Great Barrier Reef snorkel and diving trips, there’s no better place to relax, unwind and enjoy all that this part of Australia has to offer.

Soccerclutz from Budapest, HungaryIf you're going to comment, might as well spell "harlotry" right. In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present.

In 1979, an engineer named Steve Smith was looking through some tapes, trying to find some blank space to record when he came across the demo of this song. He reminded Summer of the song, which she had forgotten about, and he also told producer Giorgio Moroder about it. Moroder and Pete Bellotte, who are team that produced " Love To Love You Baby," produced a new version of "Bad Girls" that became the hit two years after the song was written.
