  Lyric Correction:I believe it's
  
  That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
  I got news for you -- she is!
  They say she's a dyke, but I know
  She is my best friend

  General Comment:Great song. Love playing it on Rock Band 2, even though my sister so obviously hates Bikini Kill. (I don't get how though. Bikini Kill is the fucking bomb.)

  General Comment:ApplesInMono, I wouldn't say the lyrics were wrong, but it has been discussed that there's more than one version of the song
  
  good song. I think it's meant to be a little sarcastic. At least not meant to be taken seriously. But promoting the whole "revolution" idea is obviously very Bikini Kill....
  
  I have to write about this song, and Double Dare Ya, for my anthropology assignment. That's kinda cool

    Okay, it's been over a year, but I need to say it:
    
    That is one awesome anthropology assignment. Did the teacher/instructor/professor assign that, or did you choose it? How did it go?

    Whoa, if we took lessons like that in school, everyone would jump on to anthropology in the bat of an eyelash. ') Hehe...(sigh) pity the school I go to is really small and so it's not a subject for choice...
    
    One more thing, Obsessive0514, don't worry that you haven't replied to this post for over a year. Seven months on and I'm replying to the exact same post; plus I've posted replies to posts that are like eight years old!!! XD

  General Comment:this song confuses me =/
  it sounds empowering but at the same time sarcastic and then it also souns shallow
  its hard too really get anything out of this song..... the queercore elements are supposed to be empowering right?

  General Comment:In social norms, the rebel girls are easily rejected. This song is great with its bratty and teenage age antics of friend making. These verses "I really wanna be your best friend," and "They say she's a slut, but I know she is my best friend" is the acceptance of rebellion in her friend, she wants to get to know this cool, bad ass girl in her attitude is attractive and sassy.
  
  Total killer song, I wish I had a rebel girl in my life. :)

  General Comment:These lyrics are all wrong here's the correct version of the song...
  
  That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
  She's got the hottest trike in town
  That girl she holds her head up so high
  I think I wanna be her best friend, yeah
  
  Rebel girl, Rebel girl
  Rebel girl you are the queen of my world
  Rebel girl, Rebel girl
  I think I wanna take you home
  I wanna try on your clothes oh
  
  When she talks, I hear the revolution
  In her hips, there's revolution
  When she walks, the revolution's coming
  In her kiss, I taste the revolution
  Rebel girl, Rebel girl
  Rebel girl you are the queen of my world
  Rebel girl, Rebel girl
  I know I wanna take you home
  I wanna try on your clothes oh
  
  That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
  I got news for you, she is!
  They say she's a dyke, but I know
  She is my best friend, yeah
  
  Rebel girl, Rebel girl
  Rebel girl you are the queen of my world
  Rebel girl, Rebel girl
  I know I wanna take you home
  I wanna try on your clothes
  
  Love you like a sister always
  Soul sister, Rebel girl
  Come and be my best friend
  Will you Rebel girl?
  I really like you
  I really wanna be your best friend
  Be my Rebel girl
