Juliette and the Licks

You're Speaking My Language
2004, written by Juliette and the Licks

I don't think you heard me

I know you think you know me better than that
I bit your dog cus he hit on my cat
I wipe my face off and keep your kisses back baby
Keep your trigger loaded
Rockin' or rollin' all night




Most of you probably know Juliette Lewis as Mallory in Natural born killers. Though she proved in this movie that she possesses a decent singing voice, I was sceptical when I heard she had formed her own rock band and was now throwing herself at a music carreer. Still my curiosity took over and I have not regretted it one bit. So far Juliette and the Licks have released one EP (Like a bolt of lightening) and two full cds (You're speaking my language)and Four on the Floor. Especially the EP is very good in my opinion. Juliette said that the inspiration for a lot of her songs are her own sexual fantasies.

Hot Kiss
2006, written by Juliette and the Licks



Oh father, I pray to thee
I got a man so blind I can't see
I'm his favorite toy, like a beach ball
Bang it up and down or throw it against the wall
Oh tallulah, he said, you're so dramatic
What's all that shakin' goin on in your attack



As for Juliette's qualities as a rock singer? Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland, eat your hearts out. She rocks hard and she is just as great at singing as she is at acting.
