Typical Girls by The Slits

Typical Girls by The Slits, released in 1979, is a punk anthem that challenges stereotypes and societal expectations of women. The song’s raw energy and rebellious lyrics criticise the narrow roles assigned to women, questioning what it means to be a “typical girl.” For midlife women, this track can evoke a sense of nostalgia while reminding us of the importance of breaking free from traditional norms. It’s a powerful reminder that individuality and self-expression have always been at the heart of redefining what it means to be a woman, no matter the age.

Lyrics

Don’t createDon’t rebelHave intuitionCan’t decide
Typical girls get upset too quicklyTypical girls can’t control themselvesTypical girls are so confusingTypical girls, you can always tellTypical girls don’t think too clearlyTypical girls are unpredictable, predictable
Typical girls try to beTypical girls very wellTypical girls try to beTypical girls very well, well
Typical girls are looking for somethingTypical girls fall under a spellTypical girls buy magazinesTypical girls feel like hellTypical girls worry about spots, and fatAnd natural smells, stinky fake smells
Typical girls try to beTypical girls very well, well
Don’t createDon’t rebelHave intuitionDon’t drive well
Typical girls try to beTypical girls very wellCan’t decide what clothes to wear
Typical girls are sensitiveTypical girls are emotionalTypical girls are cruel, bewitchingBut she’s a femme fatale
Typical girls stand by their manTypical girls are really swellTypical girls learn how to attractTypical girls don’t repel
Who invented the typical girl?Who’s bringing out the new improved model?Ah there’s another marketing ployTypical girl gets the typical boy
Who invented the typical girl?Who’s bringing out the new improved model?Ah there’s another marketing ployTypical girl gets the typical boy, typical boy
The typical boy gets the typical girlThe typical girl gets the typical boyThe typical boy gets the typical girlThe typical girl gets the typical boy
Are emotional
