LYRICS
Her glance hits me like lightnin'
I've heard that girl is Fast and Frightenin'
Dirty hair and a laugh that's mean
Her neighbors call her an evil machine
She's fast, she's lean, she's frightening
She's fast, she's lean, she's frightening
Poppin' wheelies on her motorbike
Straight girls wish they were dykes
She'll do anything on a dare
Mom and Daddy's worst nightmare
Down at the creek smokin' pot
She eats the roach so she don't get caught
Blows M-80s off in the halls
Got so much clit, she don't need no balls

L7 are criminally underrated
I totally agree
100% agree.
Yes
Smells like teen spirit ripped off “Godzilla - The smashing pumpkins 1990 BOC cover”
Come as you are ripped off “The damned - life goes on” / “22 faces - Garden of delight” / “Killing joke - Eighties”
Rape me - “Gwar - Pussy planet” / “Mudhoney need”
Polly - “Neutral spirits - Calling Chicago”
aneurysm - “fang an invitation”
Polly, new wave - “The 4 skins on the streets”
Been a son - “Zebra Don’t walk away”
About a girl - “Hrast parni vajak”
Heart shaped box - “Nether street - Bodast” / “Butthole surfers bar b q” chorus, resembles “HEY WAIT”
Breed - “Wipers potential suicide”
Big long now - Psychodelic furs - sister europe
Mr moustache riff is a rip off of “Paul revere and the raiders - Hungry” 0:55” min
Milk it - Melvins it’s shoved
Spank thru - El chavo
nirvana plagiarism
"Got so much clit she don't need no balls" - is arguably one of my favourite lines in all of Rock 'n' Roll history!
Also, it has to be mentioned, that this Grunge album came out a full year before Nevermind. So, hats off to the ladies!
Hells yes 🤟🏽♠️🤟🏽
To me, they're a lot more Punk and even Metal than Grunge and I love it so fucking much.
The show at the sun club in tempe az on this tour was Life Changing. It's up on somebody's channel. Best video I ever shot
Singer has an incredible voice.
My first CD as a kid. Pumped this album everyday a year straight. Saw them 2 years ago. They still got it
Wow MY EX Nicked my Copy Never seen it again I got on import Here in The UK
Got a L7 tat on my forearm in the 90's, still gets more peoples "right on" than anything. Just bad ass women, and I rode bmx, and downhill listening to them quite a bit. Also their contribution to Natural Born Killers was just perfect. Mallory Knox is the fifth member of L7.
Right on! Actually, "Sh**list" from the NBK soundtrack was my introduction to L7. Bee-beep!
I was a little bastard when the song came out and I had a huge crush on the whole band
They DESERVE more RESPECT and RECOGNITION than what they have been given. They DESERVE a Grammy...😞
Yes but they broke through in 1992 here in the UK with bricks are heavy album The brought A new wave of feminist riot girl / grunge rock L7 Agreed a on Grammy and inducted to the Rock And roll hall of fame
For real 💀
L7 RULES!!!! 🤘
Hail satan if support Putin
I have never seen them , but I can say without a doubt that they are the QUEENS OF ROCK!!! 🤟
I saw them when they opened up for the Beastie Boys. Amazing show, and totally rocked the venue!
Saw them last night in Brooklyn, NY. They were great!
Donita really did have one of the best voices in all the bands that got called 'riot grrrl'.
Donita is what lead singers should sound like
FYI- these ladies are not really identified with Riot Grrrl, even if they share some politics with them. Those are bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Sleater Kinney, Huggy Bear. Feminist punks that are a bit less heavy than this. Though its a joke term, L7 were considered “Foxcore”, along with similar bands like Babes in Toyland, Lunachicks, 7 Year Bitch, and the Gits (and, ugh, Hole).
When they Broke through over here in the uk in 1992 with there Bricks are heavy Album The music industry here put them down as Grunge rock as They followed the trend of the likes of Nirvana Here But to me in my Record box they are filed under Feminist Riot girl Rock They were the Girl power of Rock
She has the best voice for punk of any girl singer I’ve ever heard. Suzi Gardner isn’t far behind either!
@@LetsGoMetsGo33Rest in power, Mia. 💖
The best female rock and roll band on the earth for ever🤘, bravo L7!!!
Hell Yea!!!!
You know it! Grunty as FUCK showing the boys how it's done 👍
GIRLSCHOOL is also a great band!🤘
@@sergiomarques1920 and the runaways they are awesome too
@@C_011
YES.....
This sounds like something Motorhead would play, only with chicks. Killer song!
L7 has always been the best female band ever! No other band beats it. Fans like me will never forget the power of these girls.
That one line - PRICELESS 🤘
Such a great band. These girls are one of my favorites!❤
Seen em a good handful of times in the early 90s , ALWAYS full on and ready to RAWK!!!!! FKN GREAT!!!
Brazil loves L7!
If you’re here in 2022, L7 is touring North America for the 30th anniversary of Bricks are Heavy starting October. Get tickets!!!
Never got enough credit, their songs ran circles around Hole.
Hole has nothing on L7
Their songs ran circles around the whole grunge movement.
God damn I love Donita !
I saw L7 at the power station in Auckland Aotearoa new zealand with HEAD LIKE A HOLE opening and the next night at the same 1100 capacity club THE BESTIE BOY'S THAT WAS A SOLID WEEK OF LIVE MUSIC
L7 FUCKING AWESOME 👍🤘
Wow, 1994?
@@itookallthenames yeah it must have been around then early nineties definitely two great night's in a row
Ahhhh my early high school days....what a time!! Love this. Keep going L7 👍🏻
Damn, I never knew there was a video to this song. This is back when I first got into these lovely ladies. Smell the Magic rules!!!!!!!!
this is my favorite band, I wish more people would listen to them, they are amazing 🖤🖤🖤
My favorite band too
This fits perfectly to my own personell first L7 gig's 30th aniversary. Still love you Grrrls.
🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻(L7 Army)
Great band, great song! I saw L7 in Leicester, UK, back around 1995 and they rocked. My girlfriend at the time (who didn't know what to expect) claimed to have had a 'transcendental experience' seeing women up on stage rocking like that, and went on to scare the yoga class she was teaching the next day by raving on about it - true story!
Classic!! L7 Rules!!
MOM AND DADDY WORST NIGHTMARE!!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
Loved You Gals Since I Was A Kid Grunge Music Was My Childhood Music & You Gals Were The Best Of That Genre!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait this is grunge i thought this genre was punk
@@angieshdkgakdgskqq7043 this was considered grunge as it came out in the 1990s. And they were good friends with the guys in Nirvana. If you can, go see them live. I got to see them back then when I was younger version of myself and they kicked it. Take care and stay safe 😷
@@angieshdkgakdgskqq7043 Grunge Was Influenced By Punk :)
@@Alejandro_Arispe_III_Gaming oh I definitely agree with your comment. L7 was around when all the Seattle bands got huge and grunge was born. All of them love punk or hard core music and it shows.
Not all 90s rock is "grunge"
Perfect visuals for this great song. One of my all time favorites.
They are fucking amazing. Smell the magic through hungry for stink is just awesome.
I'm gonna introduce my children to L7
Yeah ! She is punk Rocker.
I was at PDX (Portland International Airport) a couple weeks ago and I saw some guy wearing the "Smell the Magic" Tshirt. I used to have that tshirt. Loved it!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
your here! subbed I forgot the 1990's cause prison wasn't nice. Now I listened to you so much them but wiped my brain. The tapes are in a box in my closet. Thank You so much for all You did for me. Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei L7
rockin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gran Material!! Aguante L7!
Smokin' Hot
they're the most heaviest band of the grunge era
probably heavier than AIC
Love it 👍👍👍👍👍👍 was very sad when there was no Australia shows haven’t seen any since early 90’s
L7 Rocks !!
Damn these girls kick ass🔥🔥😈💯
HERMOSAAAASSSS
I used to listen to them in los angeles when I lived there
L7 - part of my teenage soundtrack . still kicking the rear . great song 🤜👍
Le più fighe in assoluto!
They're playing in LA this Oct
L7 put on some good shows in L.A. one time they wore fake bald heads and rocked it. L7 rules!!
They playing in LA again this Oct
I never heard of this band before, but damn! a big miss for me. This band sounds cool, classic rock and roll and metal elements in this song.
They were what grew up on ❤
Yeah! 😮
You had me at dahdahdahdahdahda.
My idols!
Baddest gals in rock
What a song opening :O This band is so underrated!
This song is the perfect description of the kind of woman I wanna be. This band was instrumental in my journey as a trans woman. Thank you L7.
omg another trans L7 fan in the wild
@@jaiden301 🫶
Straight 🖤
🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are amazing!
This is a band that should have climbed the ladder to rock n roll heaven, but for some reason at the time people didn't except an all girl rock band... Not me I've been a fan since day one... A band way ahead of their time... In my opinion one of the best bands from late 80s/90s .... Rock"n"Roll hall of Fame is in need for L7 inductee.... 🤘
Agreed
Feminists: We want more equal opportunities for women.
L7: Hold my tampon
@Butt Head you're an L7 fan and an anti feminist? I've seen everything now I guess
meh youngins don't realizes we had amazing gurl power in the day , they think powerful independent, strong women is something new, don't argue, don't fight, just smirk and remember the bad ass/Goddesss's of our generation, you kids think WAP is a song about strong woman? hold my beer while i give you the Goddess's of rock who did ever thing you claim is feminist while never cashing in on sexuality, no thongs, minimal make up, all they sold us is pure talent, and us old fan boi's and gurrl's all we can do is smile softly while others don't recognize.
You want hard hitting gurl power?
Here it is, not Your cup of tea? we got Tori, PJ, bjork and drain Sth, pick your poison cause the hard woman of rock don't back down to anyone, ever, they do what they do, and those of us that know them, love them for their strength,
tlDR: more grrr power, less people selling sexuality and yes i'm an L7 fanboy/groupie til i'm dead
'
@Crystax reaper oh so equality is when there are women main characters in video games? There were black people in movies back in the 50s and 60s too, doesn't mean there was equality.
@@abaraxs01 I think you're missing the point of art like WAP. It's not to show that you NEED to wear thongs to be empowered, it's saying that if you want to wear a thong you should be able to wear a thong without being publicly ridiculed (like what happened to Cardi B) and if you don't want to wear a thing and you want to wear baggy clothes and stuff, you should be allowed to without being publicly ridiculed (like what happened to Billie Eilish). That's what they mean by empowerment. And I should note, L7 definitely agrees with me on this one. They famously dropped trow on live TV, they sang about sex (take their song wargasm for instance) and we're definitely pro female sexual expression.
I guess if a tampon makes you believe L7 weren't feminists that's your problem bro.
God they were / are GOOD!😎
loving this song for most of my life
Most favorite chick punk band ever. Fkn badass. Kids today just don’t know!! Much luv & respect to my grrrlz!!
I am always a sucker for Womens that rock this hard. God damn...so badass. YEAH

Favorite song EVER!
Love it!!!❤❤
Awesome ladies! Loved y'all forever!! L7!!!
My face just melted off!! L7 can thrash!!!!!!!!
I love them
They my girls!!!! Since I was a kid!!!!!
Mejor banda que la mayoría de sus contemporáneos varones. Estás mujeres dieron una bofetada a todos los grupos grunges pero, desgraciadamente, creo que por ser una banda de mujeres en su totalidad se quedaron mucho por debajo de lo que merecían...no se las tomó todo lo en serio de lo que deberían...
Yeah!!! Something that made me smile
"Hi, Mom meet Donita!"
🤪🐍
L7 !! , AMO DE MAIS !!! É DA MINHA GERAÇÃO !!! .
Excelente espero que vengan a San Luis Potosí 🇲🇽 👍
The best band of the world! 💚
Amazingggggggggg!!!!

@UNIVERSITY With faith and determination, we are able to make all our dreams come true. Strength and focus for all of us! To succeed, we must eliminate doubts, accept challenges and reject any external negativity.🍓
Big woman's L7 rules
yes!
Haven't ever got the chance to see ya. Love this band so much. Keep kicking ass.
Butt-head: Hey Beavis, who do you think would win in a fight between Tiffany and Debbie Gibson?
Beavis: Debbie Gibson would kick her butt. She'd kick her!
Butt-head: She should join a gang, like Wilson Phillips.
Beavis: Yeah. Who do you think would win in a fight between Wilson Phillips and The Bangles?
Butt-head: Uh...you're the expert, Beavis.
Beavis: Shut up, Butt-head!
Butt-head: One chick from L7 alone could kick all of their asses combined.
When I first saw the B&B video I had never even heard of L7. I immediately looked them up because Butthead's delivery alone killed me. Once I heard them it's even funnier because it's totally true. And when Mike Judge gives you the nod, you are doing something right. The only video I ever saw on B&B that got this amount of respect was "I Wanna Be Sedated" where all they did was dance and didn't say a word. I love everything I've heard from L7 so far.
