Thread Name: Women's Work Songs
Subject: RE:
I love unseparated song titles; they remind me of tabloid headlines:

> Band O' Shearers Ca' the Yowes Bread and Roses (Axl Rose sues!)

> Fish Gutters Tarry Wool Truck Driving (Perhaps we'd use the term "Delay" instead?)

> Cotton Mill Girls Doffin Mistress Lewiston (Needs an appostrophe; belongs on Oprah)

> Bury new Loom Canning (Workers highly opposed! Hey, Prince Albert wasn't a weaver, was he?))

> Factory Girl Fumbling (In six easy steps!)

> Cut Help For the Helper (Doctors' pay docked again.)

> Granite Mill Fire(s) Gudewife (She sues for discrimination)

> the Helper Molly Malone Nobody Knew (tribute to Mother Teresa's anonymous assistant?)

> Self-Employed Worker Somebody's Grandmother (Yeah, that happens a lot these days.)

> Lilt You Might (And whistle while you work!)
