Another gem from The L Word. After Phyllis' had her first lesbian experience with Alice, she started seeing the female students of her school in a different light. The song is a light and frothy classic and somehow perfect for the drive to your favorite hunting ground.

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye
They solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game
Watch the guy watch the dame

On any street in town
Up and down
And over and across
Romance is boss

Guy’s talk
Girl talk
It happens everywhere
Eyes watch
Girls walk
With tender loving care

It’s keeping track of the pack
Watching them watching back
That makes the world go round
What’s that sound?
Each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

Guy’s talk
Girl talk
It happens everywhere
Eyes watch
Girls walk
With tender loving care

It’s keeping track of the pack

That makes the world go round
What’s that sound?
Each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye
They solemnly convene to make the scene

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

I discovered this song from the L Word. It was the song that Ivan sang to Kit when Ivan was trying to court her. She was trying to convince Kit that she could be a lesbian and that the perfect "man" was in fact a transgendered woman. It's just the perfect song for some sweet slow loving, though it makes promises most men can't live up to. Leonard Cohen's voice is amazing as well. Bubble was too bubblegum with his version.

If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
Im your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
Ill examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Im your man

Ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
Ive been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or Id crawl to you baby
And Id fall at your feet
And Id howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And Id claw at your heart
And Id tear at your sheet
Id say please, please
Im your man

And if youve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
Ill disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
Im your man

If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you

I first became aware of the artist Peaches while randomly downloading shit by downloading Operate by Peaches as part of the Mean Girls soundtrack. I was still speed waling/jogging/running then and the song was used regularly to fuel my drive. Then I saw the Peaches performance in the L Word. So I started downloading songs and one favorite after The Teaches of Peaches is this song...It's just so me on sooo many levels.

Kick it by Peaches feat. Iggy Pop

How do you do a cool dance?
Baby don't split those high pants
I gots these rules that we can do - do and sink
I don't look too good in pink.

I used to slash myself up
I like to play it tough
Cuts, bruises, blood and there's bottles breaking rough
You gotta handle that stuff.

Yeah, yeah!
Tear it up,
Rip it up
Kick it up
Yeah, yeah!
Tear it up,
Rip it up
Kick it up
Yeah, yeah!
Kick it, kick it, kick it!

I wanna be your cat
...Screw that!
I'm not sixteen but I gots leather boots and suede
Ah go fuck your pain away!

I heard you like kinky shit
That just depends who I'm with
What is it? Acid, limo or some kind of toy?
Like you said 'Search and Destroy'

Some people don't like my crotch
Because it's got fuzzy spots
But if you flame it
It's a neat burning bush baby
And that is just what I've got

Yeah, yeah!
Tear it up,
Rip it up
Kick it up
Yeah, yeah!
Tear it up,
Rip it up
Kick it up
Yeah, yeah!
Tear it up,
Rip it up
Kick it up
Yeah, yeah!
Kick it, kick it, kick it

And if you're leaving with sin
Escape the city I'm in
Come on and knock it where it's rocking non-stop
Make your way to Berlin
