You think you're so hot
You think you're so slick
You know what I think, boy?
I think you're a dick
 
The way you strut
You tried to pierce with your eyes
and you look at me that way 
and it's just a disguise.
 
Because I see through you
and it's all a facade
there's nothing inside
it's all very odd
I see through you
and I know what you want
You must be used to stupid girls
guess what I'm not
 
You tried to use me
You tried to push me around
You use big fat clever words
You make gorilla sounds
 
Get over yourself
Take that stupid look off your face
It's only skin deep and you can not erase
 
that I see through you
and it's all a facade
there's nothing inside
it's all very odd
I see through you
and I know what you want
You must be used to stupid girls
guess what I'm not
 
I'm not a stupid girl
I'm not I'm not a stupid girl

what do you mean
 

 

 
an interesting piece from a 2010 blog post "Went to bed at 3:00 am.  Got up at 5:30 am to go work on Degrassi.I don’t want to give away too much information about my personal life. It’s looking like I might be having a little dibbledabble back into the musical theatre world"
 
so that explains the disjoint between 2006 and her more recent material

Allie Hughes then rocked out with her band. Like Kulak, Hughes also played the piano while singing her own original songs. She is also a trained musical theatre actor, having graduated from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. As a performer, she is infused with tons of energy, which makes her fun and captivating to watch. At one point, she stood up and started to dance- as much as her piano playing would allow. She has no pretense. She doesn’t try to be anyone except the artist that she is. And while that is extremely refreshing to see, it is also very clear that Allie Hughes is a strong enough performer that she doesn’t need to pretend to be anyone beyond Allie Hughes to bring the house down. She sang six songs from her debut album: “Elevator,” “Black Cloud,” “How ‘Bout Cha Go Away,” “Irish Colcannon,” “Gorilla Sounds,” and “Cabaret Song,” and one newer song dedicated to a friend who was in the audience. She was forced at the end of the night to give an impromptu encore when the audience refused to stop applauding or to leave. It was truly an awesome moment.

Hughes’ music has been compared to Sarah Slean and Regina Spektor, and I think that’s probably the easiest way to describe it. There are always unexpected moments, however, for at one point during “How ‘Bout Cha Go Away” her voice goes from akin to Regina Spektor to perfect and gorgeous Kristin Chenoweth-esque resonance within a few moments. The power of Hughes’ music, for me, is in her lyrics. She seems to be able to express and capture collective thoughts and experiences that aren’t often given voice in such a poetic way. Hughes is a poet. Even without the music, her songs would still be poignant and beautiful. With the music, these songs are gifts: up-lifting, self-affirming, empowering and just ‘angsty’ enough to give them adequate punch. Her voice suits the music perfectly. The best example is the way her voice captures the moment in “Black Cloud” as she sings, “…And I’m hard to keep from screaming/ And I’m the black cloud/ And I take on all the darkness of our home/ So you can be/ happy…” Ka-pow!

My favourite of Hughes’ songs is “Elevator,” which I think beautifully captures the experience of trying to strike the balance between friendship and falling in love. I think she is beloved by her fans especially for the lyrics to “Gorilla Sounds” which include, “You think you’re so hot. You think you’re so slick. You know what I think, boy? I think you’re a dick.” She’s smart. She’s sassy. She has an infectious, genuine smile that holds a glimmer of mischief. You’ll get intrigued

She was doing a lot of shows in 2008/09, a lot of copies of her album have to be floating around. I think it's funny she was friends with Tune-Yards on MySpace

 

ooooooooooh I found one of the 2006 songs

He won't.
 
I've been in contact with her old publicists and band members today 
 
her old handle was @hughesmuses, you can see some of her interactions with people. A lot of people liked her 2011 prom themed show lol

from her old site: Allie's theatre-influenced alternative pop songs and her astonishing voice are well worth hearing. Allie Hughes is currently recording her debut album with producers Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene), Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett) and Adam King (Run With Kittens) to be released fall 2010

I found that a few hours ago,
I'll post a link to the mp3, I managed to get the source audio and it's like 224 kbps

I started writing for this site and my first was a quick feature of Say Lou Lou

share it or not lol 

I don't think it'll be set in present day if Operation Top Hat/nuclear testing/communism are the main themes

or any of the things we have snippets of for that matter

The song is definitely a grower
At first I was like WTF this isn't so good
But by the 4th time I was really into it

I thought it was probably the best finale out of the 4 even if it was predictable
 
I left my parting gripes on the season on GGD but I'll paste those here tomorrow. it would appear S5 is about communism, atomic bombs and operation top hat with the amount of times they fucking said it in the finale

not really, most artists have to get them out 2-3 months early if they want it done by street date because of the sheer volume of things that have to be reviewed

The real Allie forum? jk what happened to forum she had
 
 
Glam and Sculpture though Glad to see she's doing a series of EPs because those struck me as huge snubs
 
Also the verses of Take it Back! INGTMB can remain the unreleased bop...

welcome @@Xartist and @@COLLXTION
 
we are rather...xstatic to share our thoughts and eXperiences on LB with you 

I'M SO EXCITING! 2015 WILL BE THE X YEAR!

the last time I was this genuinely excited for a release and the conception of the release was with The Fame
 
if she plays her cards right with this release strategy and this really catches on radio
 
it's like the perfect mix of high brow art conception with these pop songs with massive potential

Feel sick that I slept on them for so long, can't stop listening
