girl power songs

[snugglekitty]

I am working on a girl power mix. Anything you think I should absolutely include?

I want most of the songs to be sung by women but I do have space for a couple that are about women. I am looking for things that are upbeat, and not just breakup songs. I consulted the Intarwebs to get started but I know my friends have better taste!



This One's for the Girls
Rebel Girl
U and Ur Hand
Happy Baby
I Will Survive
Fight Like a Girl
Not Your Yoko Ono
I'm a Woman
My Prerogative (Britney Spears)
Good Girl Down

It's true, I think "girl power" is subjective. :) A lot of different things can be meant by that.

"Can't Hold Us Down" is a good one, and I like "I'm Good" a lot. Thanks!
