Oh, those wicked girls, how they fly...

I was just on YouTube (I admit, watching videos from the current season of So You Think You Can Dance, because I am a weak blonde in some ways), and did the fairly random "let's see if any of my key words pops up on this site." And, well, some of my words did.

So here is the video recording of "Wicked Girls," as performed at DucKon 2009 (this particular performance will also be on the official DVD being released by the convention, although probably not this specific video). Featuring SJ Tucker on the djembe and backing vocals infinitely more amazing than I realized until I watched the playback; Vixy on lead vocals; me on lead vocals (I'm the blonde one in the middle); Tony Fabris on guitar; and Amy McNally on the invisible violin, as she is totally blocked by Tony. There's some clipping, especially on the louder parts of the song, but overall, I'm stunned by how well it went.

See:



This specific stream's version of "Still Catch the Tide" (by Talis Kimberley) is also gorgeous.

I've been thinking about when the right time to introduce my older daughter to this song is. She's going very femme, and I expect her to stay that way, and I want her to have a lot of exposure to *strong* femmes, so this is definitely in her future.

I can't count the number of times I've told her "a real princess saves herself" in the last month - thank you *so* much for that line.

My four year-old can sing the whole song. Of course she's in the bridge in one recorded version of it, so she thinks it's her song.
