A
country zene elsőre talán inkább a férfiak műfajának tűnhet, pedig számos női előadója is
van ennek a zenei irányzatnak. Sőt, igazi világhírnév elérésére eddig főleg csak női countryzenészek voltak képesek, elég
csak napjaink talán leghíresebb énekesnőjére, Taylor Swiftre gondolni. Most azonban nem róla, hanem egy másik
világhírű énekesnőről lesz szó. Shania Twain ugyanis minden idők legsikeresebb country
zenésze, az 1997-es megjelenésű Come On
Over című albuma a legtöbbet eladott country lemez a világon, sőt az összes zenei műfajt
tekintve a legtöbb eladást jegyző női album, ami számos Grammy-díjat is
hozott az énekesnőnek. Most azonban következzen az 1995-ös Any Man Of Mine című dala, ami a kanadai énekesnő első zeneszáma
volt, ami a slágerlisták élére került. A dal erős countrys hangzását a cowgirl
témájú videóklip csak tovább erősíti, és arról szól, hogy mit várnak a nők a pasiktól. Jól emlékszem, hogy annak idején sokat játszották a magyar zenei
csatornák is és olyan nagy hatással volt a tinédzser magamra, hogy az énekesnő következő, a híres Come On Over albumának eladási sikeréhez
én is hozzájárultam és azóta is bármikor szívesen hallgatom ezt a lemezt.

You
gotta shimmy shake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, do si do
'Til your boots want to break
'Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup, two, hup
If you want to be a man of mine, that's right
This is what a woman wants
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, do si do
'Til your boots want to break

Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup, two, hup
If you want to be a man of mine, that's right
This is what a woman wants
