Dynamite
Tina Dynamite brand new name, same badditude blowing up my life This is loosely based on the song “T.N.T.” by AC/DC, which is my favorite AC/DC song. I had the album as a child and scratched it, and even now, more than 40 years later, whenever I sing the song, I can still hear the scratched part in my head.

Little Egypt's Spell
Wiggle, waggle, whee!!!! Hips do a saucy shimmy-- men's tongues hit the floor This was inspired by Little Egypt by the Coasters which I believe I was introduced to by my cousins Angela and Yvette when we were children. I thought it was so funny sounding at the time.
