ALLEY CAT DESIRES.

The other day I started thinking about all the great songs in the history of music that wouldn’t exist without the streetwalkin’ cheetahs who inspired them. Songs about working under the shadow of a neon-lit street corner and putting up with tricks, johns, rent boys, vigilantes, muggers, psychos, butterfly-knife wielding gang members and last but certainly not least — unstable and violent pimps.

Disclaimer: Before we continue, let’s get one thing straight. I’m not talking about modern-day depressing situations of sex trafficking, fentanyl and other gross byproducts of current society. That’s not fun!

Instead, we’re going back to the golden age of big hair, white lace thigh highs and silhouettes walking towards the window of your Buick after a long day at the office. You hear a voice whisper “Hey sugar” while a rat climbs out of a sewer in the distance. It’s like being on 42nd Street in New York City during it’s bygone era when the city was at its seediest and most dangerous (but worth the risk). Long before any serious life-threatening diseases and when all you needed for a health booster after a wild weekend was a shot of penicillin. “Thanks Doc!”

So grab your red lipstick, switchblade, pack of smokes, sleeve of rubbers and join us for a night on the town as TNUC presents ‘ALLEY CAT DESIRES — a tribute playlist for the alley cats working the streets just to make ends meet!

Let’s face it, times are tough in the concrete jungle and sometimes your only chance of survival is a pair of stilettos and your trusty switchblade. If you can relate, then this playlist is for you. Sure, these gals might not be the type you’d bring home to mama for Wednesday spaghetti dinner, but they do what they need to get by.

Now show some respect and pick your poison below!

  1. Always love the different themes for all the playlists you’ve made but there’s always a common ground, the 80s.
