One of my last original works in the 40 that predated me using the professional set up, it has been redone with the set up and proper non-screechy backing track.

Insincere Lyrics:
"You Don't Own Me"
The Insincere Lyrics: Just let me be myself.
That's all I ask of you. Why They're Insincere: Yeah, sure. The whole song is a sullen litany of one demand after another. Yet the singer still has the gall to afffix to the last demand, 'That's all I ask of you.'!

| "Judy's Turn to Cry"
The Insincere Lyrics: Judy kissed some other guy;
He [Judy's date] turned around and he hit him To show he's a real lovin' guy! Why They're Insincere: The 'rime riche'' ('guy' rhyming with 'guy') is not the issue. The girl Judy tests her boyfriend by kissing some other guy! So what does her date do? He hits the other guy rather than reprimanding Judy for flirting! this is loving?

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"It's My Party"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone.
Why They're Inappropriate: Perhaps she should take better care of her condoms. Is it good taste to ask strangers where they may have dissapeared?
Submitted by: Kolin Barnz
| "You Don't Own Me"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I'm young and I love to be young.
Why They're Inappropriate: What does this have to do with the rest of the song or its haunting taunting message? Is she planning on being okay with someone owning her when she's older?

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Judy's Turn To Cry"
Opening Lines: Now, it's Judy' turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry-cry-cry, 'cause Johnny's come back, come back to me.
Comments: Just posting these opening line lyrics again, because I need to correct that it was Quincy Jones who wrote and produced this tune and "It's My Party".

| "You Don't Own Me."
Opening Lines: You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys.
Comments: "You Don't Own Me" was a #2 hit for Lesley Gore in February 1964, ending up just behind the Beatles, who owned the #1 spot with "I Want To Hold Your Hand" during the two weeks that Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" stayed at #2. "You Don't Own Me" was written by John Madara and David White. "You Don't Own Me" is also very ahead of it's time, for what Lesley Gore sings about. Remember that 1964 was eight years (and nearly nine in terms of the calendar of these two hits being #1) before 1972 when there would be Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" being #1 and even three years before Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect". Lesley Gore certainly matches in intensity Helen Reddy and Aretha Franklin on "You Don't Own Me" in intensity that she's demanding to stand on her won without the guy putting on her display.
