More Stinky Songs Of Lipstick!

Hope you liked Stinky's last Homemade Record of songs on the topic of lipstick, because here comes Volume 2! I am tickled to see a couple of my own suggestions (the last two songs) as part of this set. 

Lots of lovely womens' voices in this volume: Cyndi Lauper, Kate Bush,  Rihanna, Marianne Faithfull (with John Prine), Blondie (with Beth Ditto), Susanna Hoffs (with Matthew Sweet); even Britney Spears appears. 

If you want to get esoteric, Stinky's got the girl group sounds of Yumi Matsutoya, the soulful Chicano Batman, and a ska version of "Lipstick On My Collar".

There's country music (Dan & Shay, Rockie Lynne, and Elvis Costello's take on "Good Year For The Roses").  There's rockabilly, standards (Nat King Cole), classic rock (The Animals) and indie rock (Imperial Teen, Danko Jones, Rocket From The Crypt).  Allen Toussaint sneaks in a sly reference to Ernie K-Doe's "Mother In Law" during a live solo piano version of "Lipstick Traces". 

In the words of Elizabeth Taylor, "Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together." Let's all go downtown to Lipstick City and listen to the girls talk with Stinky!

Walt Kelly made a skunk (Mam'selle Hepzibah) look pretty with lipstick and a skirt, but Mam'selle couldn't do the same for poor Miz Beaver...
