With this, not one, but two Favorite "Girl" Songs series wrap up (@FourWalls finished hers last night.) My #1 hails from London: Bat for Lashes and her song "What's a Girl to Do?"
Multi-instrumentalist Natasha Khan is Bat for Lashes, who began recording in 2006 (she's survived a decade in the music business! Yay!) She has toured with the likes of Radiohead and Coldplay, is a filmmaker, and has designed a line of sportswear.
Her critically acclaimed 2006 debut Fur and Gold, spawned "What's a Girl to Do?" It's my favorite "Girl" song, a pop song rooted in harpsichord (or, some other "chord." Khan plays a lot of them.)
I wanted to link to the official video, which featured Khan riding a bike while singing, as BMX riders perform synchronized tricks behind her. Very cool. So cool that they've pulled it from You Tube. Enjoy the lyrics instead:
The title should speak for itself. Comment, like, or something. Thanks. The copyrights do not belong to me. I do not own this.

I like their 70's stuff best. "Papa's Girl was a Rolling Stone, Too," probably would have made it
