Storm Large will not be the lead singer of the TV-fab supergroup “Supernova,” but she seems to have struck a chord with her recent performance of her song “Ladylike.” the song may even become Ann Bartow’s new anthem. Whether the song qualifies as a new feminist fight song, it’s a fun, rockin’ tune. The TV-edit lyrics as performed on Rock Star are below, but the R-rated version is easy to figure out.
I’m sorry about your girl
Little center of the universe
Axis turns the world
And you need a jet to get to her
Oh, the way she moves, attracts all kinds of focus
From all over the room
She smokes, not ladylike. She’s not ladylikeMister, mister, big and tall
You take the world and spin it
You don’t mess around at all, no
You’re in it, to win it
Then you can get the gold
And you go make some more
So you can win the girl
Cuz baby that’s who you’ve been working forShe’s big and she’s proud
And she knows what the world is aboutHey, what the what is ladylike
If ladies like to do what the what they like
Just like you, yeah. Just like you.
Look out man here comes another oneWell I’m so sorry about your wife
She’s up and off and running
Going on with her own life
Word to your mother
She’s stunning
And there’s a part of you
That’s just a little scared of her
Axis turns the world
And you need a jet to get to herShe’s great and she knows
How to wear the pants
And the rest of your clothesWhat the what is ladylike
If ladies like to do what the what they like
Just like you, yeah. Just like you.
Look out man here comes another oneOn my knees or on all fours
From underneath
Hear me roar
