Episode 135: Coyote Ugly

In the early aughts, it was super popular to want to be a faux slut and then in the year 2000 along came the movie Coyote Ugly and a whole generation of women dreamed of becoming songwriters.  JUST KIDDING. They dreamed of wearing slutty crop tops and dancing on a bar. DUH.  Coyote tells the story of Violet Sanford, an inspiring songwriter with bad stage fright who moves from her small NJ town to live on the mean streets of NYC. After a burglary leaves her without any cash and her song writing career not turning out quite as she planned (despite meeting a really hot Aussie dude), she finds a job at Coyote Ugly, a bar where the only rules are don't bring your boyfriends around and don't date the customers. Oh and of course HELL NO H20.  We loved this movie and soundtrack so much - it nearly defined our late middle school and high school lives and we totally subscribed to the faux slut look society was pedaling at the time. We'll talk about the longevity of a bar like Coyote Ugly, how Violet's bad karaoke schtick and dance moves weren't really all that impressive, and lucky you sing most of the songs from the kick-ass soundtrack!
