Rebel Girl



"Rebel Girl" is the sixth track from SPARKLE like you mean it: ROBEE'S BALLAD by Chris's second fictional band Robee Sonee and the Tomgirls. It is a cover of the song of the same name by Bikini Kill.

Chris seems to have chosen this song as emblematic of his ideal tomboy sweetheart--either that, or because it was featured in Rock Band 2. He also chose to sing over the single version, likely due to the vocals being higher than the gruff, angry vocals on the album/EP versions.

As per typical Chris fare, his singing lacks the emotional performance of Kathleen Hanna in the original, and he skips, mumbles and messes up tons of lyrics. Notably, he doesn't scream the line "I TASTE THE REVOLUTION!" at the end of the second verse, instead opting to excitedly (in the loosest sense of the term) say it in his signature monotone. Then again, it's likely he is unable to carry a scream like that.
