Beehives & doo wops.

Say hello to my latest musical obesession, The Ronettes, the "first bad girls of rock and roll". 



Apparently tight skirts, a heavy hand with eyeliner and saying "I love you" in your lyrics had you pegged as a rebel back in the 60s. Who knew? 

I have been going through a Motown nostalgia and thanks to Pandora, the Ronettes came into my life. The funny thing is that not long after I started humming "Be my baby" every day, my little sister shrieked with excitement because they are one of her favorites too. Small coincidences, in a small world. 


Neat tidbit: the Beach Boys, Don't Worry Baby (one of my top 10 songs of all time) was inspired because of the Ronettes! I need to get my karoke on, soon. 

Doo wop bop!
