美國歌壇天后［琳達朗絲黛］──新浪潮／強力流行──［Girls Talk／女孩談話］

There are some things you cant cover up with lipstick and powder
Thought I heard you mention my name cant you talk any louder
Dont come any closer
Dont come any nearer
My vision of you cant come any clearer
Oh I just wanna hear girls talk

Got a loaded imagination being fired by girls talk
Its a more or less situation inspired by girls talk
But I cant say the words you want to hear
I suppose youre gonna have to play it by ear right here and now

Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say its not allowed girls talk
If they say that its so dont they think that I know by now
That the word up on everyones lips stick that youre dedicated
You may not be an old fashioned girl but youre gonna get dated
Was it really murder were you just pretending
Lately I have heard you are the living end

Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say its not allowed girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
if they say that its so dont they think that I know by now

But I cant say the words you want to hear
I suppose youre gonna have to play it by ear right here
There are some things you cant cover up with lipstick and powder
Thought I heard you mention my name cant you talk any louder
Dont come any closer
Dont come any nearer
My vision of you cant come any clearer
Girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
And they say its not allowed girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
Girls talk, girls talk

１９８０年２月，３３歲半的美國搖滾女王琳達．朗絲黛（Linda Ronstadt）推出深受＃３大碟［Mad Love／瘋狂的愛］（Asylum唱片發行）

由彼得艾雪（Peter Asher）製作,

這張專輯反映了１９７０年代後期龐克搖滾和新浪潮音樂的興起。

許多老牌樂隊歌手都曾真誠地（並且往往成功地）嘗試通過吸收龐克和新浪潮音樂中那些簡約、樸實、樸實的音樂元素。

［Mad Love］正是朗絲黛對這潮流的回應。

這張專輯首週便登上美國告示牌專輯榜第五名，創下當時紀錄，也是首位取得如此佳績的女歌手，最後拿到第三名，

並迅速成為她連續第七張銷量超過百萬的專輯，獲得白金唱片認證，。

朗絲黛第四次榮膺告示牌年度最佳女藝人。

［How Do I Make You］為她贏得葛萊美最佳搖滾女歌手單曲獎提名。

１９８０年，［Girls Talk／Hurt So Bad］（女孩談話/傷真痛）以雙A面主打在法國推出單曲．

其中前者是翻唱英國歌手Elvis Costello創作（1978年發行,UK Single#4），

彼得艾雪製作成一首新浪潮／強力流行，編曲豐富，琳達的詮釋輕快活潑，展現其對音樂新潮流的適應．
