The country fire-starter who brought you "Gunpowder & Lead" gets back to what she does best: torching shit. Here, it's her needy man's baggage; putting it on the curb won't do. "Come and pick it up before I blow it up in flames," she belts. The emotional-baggage metaphor gets tortured, but the track is a funky country blues with a Zeppelin musk. Lambert simmers – a good-natured gal spitting hickory-smoked venom.

“1999”

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
