shadowkatDay #21 of 30 Day Music Meme - a song you like with a person's name in the title
The 1982 disco hit by Laurie Branigan....(not the Van Morrison song or the one sung by Jim Morrison) - no this is the song written by Laurie Brannigan and hit the top of the charts in the 1980s. I first heard it on the musical Flashdance and had the song from the Flashdance soundtrack.
The lyric that sold me is "you really don't remember or is it something that he said, or all the voices in your head calling...Gloria". It's a song that says a lot about our toxic male culture's effect on women. It's a song of rage, and agency.
I adore the raw and in your face lyrics and the sound of it.

I don't know if dates well, though. Very dated. And very much a song of its time. We sung and wrote a lot of songs about the South Africa Apartheid when I was in college, we were protesting it in college.
