Fandom: Strangers With Candy
Title: I Got Somethin' To Say
Warnings: Mild spoilers for the TV series.

A mix for Jerri Blank. She's ridiculous, terrifying, and incredibly fun to watch . . . from a safe distance.

Introduction


Montgomery Gentry - My Town
(Returning to Flatpoint after thirty-two years.)

Yeah, this is my town
Where I was born
Where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off
'Cause I got mad
And it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back
And settled down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town!

General


Julie Brown - 'Cause I'm A Blonde
(Jerri's vision of herself. She's convinced she's hot stuff.)

I never learned to read and I never learned to cook
Why should I bother when I look like I look?
I know lots of people are smarter than me
But I have this philosophy:
So what?
'Cause I'm a blonde! (B-L-I-N-D!)
'Cause I'm a blonde! (Don't you wish you were me?)


Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism
(She's just a little screwed up.)

You can tell from the scars on my arms
And the cracks in my hips
And the dents in my car
And the blisters on my lips
That I'm not the carefulest of girls...
If I were any older I would act my age


Meredith Brooks - Bitch
(She manages to be childishly innocent and viciously nasty all at the same time.)

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want me any other way


Barenaked Ladies - Humor Of The Situation
(Throwing bricks off the overpass, spraying racial slurs on the walls, spreading malicious venereal diseases . . . good times! Why aren't you laughing?)

When you walked in
I said with a grin
That we were just talkin' about you
We all had to lie
Because you would cry
If you knew we were laughing at you...

Come on, now, now
Come on, now, now
Enjoy the humor of the situation

In Love


By Jeeves - That Was Nearly Us
(Forcing herself on boys who aren't so sure they want the attention.)

SHE (HE)
Did you see that couple there? (Can't say I did...)
Standing by the tree? (Really? Was it raining?)
That was nearly us back there (I don't quite follow...)
Nearly you and me (Oh, yes, I see...)

Bertie, you've been badly neglected
You need a wife who'll correct it
The secret of men, of course, is
To treat them a bit like horses


Heart - Crazy On You
(Jerri in love is a scary, scary thing.)

Well, I tell myself that I've been doing all right
There's nothing left to do tonight
But go crazy on you


Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
(Kinky!)

Pour some sugar on me
Come on, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky, and sweet
From my head to my feet


The Beatles - I'll Get You
(When they're smart, they run away. She doesn't give up easily.)

So I'm telling you, my friend
I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Well, there's gonna be a time
When I'm gonna change your mind
So you might as well resign yourself to me

Young At Heart


Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
(She has a young girl's fun-loving spirit. And maturity level. And attention span.)

I come home in the morning light
My mama says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, Mama dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they wanna have fun


Blink-182 - What's My Age Again?
(People often try to convince her to grow up. Not happening.)

Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three forty-six
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?


Care Bears - Forever Young
(Jerri may be like this for the rest of her life, and that's fine with her.)

Looking back
We're just the same
As we were when we began...
Hello, friend
It's good to see you too
Time is standing still
And we'll be
Forever young

In Conclusion . . .


Alexz Johnson - Let Me Fall
(She resolutely goes on, asking questions, trying to figure herself out, screwing up and crashing and burning and then, darnit, trying again.)

I've got something to say:
Let me rise
Let me fall
Let me breathe
I wanna lose control, I'm not afraid to lose it all
Let me break
Let me crawl
'Cause I will get back up again if you let me fall

Man, I haven't heard that song since... the last time I watched Earth Girls Are Easy. Which has to have been over ten years ago. Yikes.
