Unless you live in a very niche corner of the internet, the name Laura Bell Bundy might not ring a bell. She’s an actress and singer who’s crooned such songs as “Kentucky Dirty” and acted in films like “The Christmas Calendar”–which I loved and highly recommend. Oh, and did I mention she originated the role of Elle Woods on Broadway?
Bundy has blessed our ears with a new anthem--Get It Girl, You Go–to celebrate 100 years of winning the vote and the rise of female empowerment–but in it, she’s really leaned into her liberalness. The music video features lots of well-known liberal activists. She features a ton of Democratic female candidates. And that’s her prerogative, but I wish she, and other singers, would realize that empowering women isn’t partisan.
Bundy says the song is,
“”It is the ultimate female empowerment song about women who ‘do it all,’ and break the glass ceiling. As women, we need to support each other and lift each other up.”
Yes, we do. We can do that no matter what side of the aisle we stand on!
No Agenda with your gender gotta learn to do it all
and
Baby, how you feeling? / Breakin’ that glass ceiling?”
There’s also what I consider funny lines like:
Serving up valor, serving up grace / Now this is the shit that makes America great.”
