MANILA, Philippines - Even the sweetest, pastel-clad Simple Girl will admit to this: There’s a bad girl in everyone. Take these tracks for a spin and let her out for a little fun.
I predict a riot
Some (punk) rock and roll to get any bad girl going — or at the very least, get her through a hard day with her head up— Regina Belmonte
Bikini Kill – Rebel Girl
“When she talks, I hear the revolution. In her hips, there’s revolutions. When she walks, the revolution’s coming. In her kiss, I taste the revolution.†Everyone wants to be the Rebel Girl. Everyone.
Peaches – Boys Wanna Be Her
From the first guitar riff, this song is #POWER. It’s a take-no-prisoners, I’m-the-baddest-bitch-in-town anthem. Pop your headphones on, turn this up, and strut your stuff, hot stuff.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Rockers To Swallow
The YYYs are loud, dirty and wild, and the post-punk music they unleashed in the early noughties (this track included) gave birth to a whole new generation of girls, straight into the
mosh pit.
Rebel without a cause
Looking to go out and cause some trouble? Put on your leather leggings, pile on the eyeliner and leave your inhibitions at home. It’s time to be a bad, bad girl. — Carla Villanueva
Kylie Minogue – Did It Again
Throwback to the ’90s, when not one, not two, but four Kylie Minogues joined a police lineup in what was quite possibly the coolest, most badass pop video of the time. Who doesn’t love making the same mistakes over and over again?
M.I.A. – Bad Girls
Predictable, yes. But also the baddest bad girl song from the baddest bad girl out there. Basically an anthem for all the rebel, anti-establishment chicks trying to usurp The Man, the song is a friendly reminder to live fast, die young because bad girls do it well.
Gin Wigmore - Black Sheep
The perfect song to listen to while heavily applying eyeliner before a #BNO (B*tches Night Out) with your girlfriends. Planning on letting loose? Get started on your tequila diet ASAP, put this song on full blast, and wreak some major havoc.
Bad, Badder, Baddest
From a stint in prison to being banned on Instagram for showing too much skin, this playlist is not for the faint of heart. — Francine Gacrama
Sky Ferreira – You’re Not the One
Sky Ferreira proves to be one of the coolest chicks with a synthpop sound reminiscent of Gwen Stefani and Madonna rolled into one. This song may seem named like a chick flick, but give it a listen and maybe you might end up sporting an orange jumpsuit for the weekend like this bad girl, too.
The Kills – Last Day of Magic
Half of The Kills, Alison Mosshart is the total bad girl package of the indie rock scene. Last Day of Magic is the perfect song to play when you’re off to get ready with your friends or just even lounging around at home in your underwear, maybe sipping a not-so-ladylike drink.
Rihanna – Pour It Up
Although Rihanna has a reputation for being trashy, I can’t deny the fact that this song is catchy and badass in so many ways. Who doesn’t want to sing about strip clubs and dollar bills? So if you want amp up your game in the hooch department, you know what song to pick.
