On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida.
And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to
take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to

We are doing our countdowns.
Yes, this is Lush Coach Countdown.
Lush Coach Countdown.
I cut you off, sis.
No, you didn't.
Basically, it's a little bit of what we're known for,
which are our famous lists.
Yes.
And we're sort of giving them in mini-sodes here.
These are going to be tiny bites, quick bites.
Oh, you with the term.
I can't let it go. One of the many things I can't let go in my life. Hey. Hey, quick bites. Oh, you with that term. I can't let it go.
One of the many things I can't let go in my life.
Hey.
Hey, I said.
Hey.
So this today we're doing, and we're going to say it in unison,
the top 10 pop girly debut singles.
Talk about why it's important to make a splash with your debut single as a pop girly.
It's so important to make a splash with your debut single as a pop girly because there are so many pop girlies and there are so many singles
that you can get lost in the fray, a fate worse than death.
It's actually rule of code number 99.
Getting lost in the fray, a fate worse than death.
I mean, especially now, you know,
it's so hard to break through in a way that is monocultural.
And yet, she's not on this list, spoiler alert,
but like Olivia Rodrigo with Driver's License, she did that.
I can't believe she's not on the list.
We left it out.
We left it out.
We might have to make another list.
We might have to make another list down the road
because that's truly one of the most iconic pop girly debut singles ever.
But I think we're looking at a pretty concentrated set of girlies that,
and when we say pop girlies, you know what we mean.
I would say pop girlies, and I what we mean. I would say pop girlies
and I would say this list is really
giving millennial culture.
Because Billie's not on this list and Olivia's
not on this list. But pop girlies
is a millennial term.
I'm sorry to the other generations, but
it is like, 2010
was the year when it
sprung, when the fountain was
afloat. I also feel like you and I make no was the year when like it sprung and when like the fountain was a flow.
I also feel like you and I make no apologies about being millennials.
Everyone needs to stop like shrinking into like, oh, I'm millennial.
I'm stupid.
Oh my God.
I'm doing it in New York accent. That's a really great millennial impression.
I'm a stupid millennial.
Everyone's out here on these streets going,
hey, I'm stupid.
I'm over-medicated, I'm over-stimulated,
and I'm over-educated.
I'm a millennial, honey, and I'm here.
I'm in debt.
This is why you need to buy the diamond prescription.
This is why, BMP.
Is that what it's called, the diamond prescription?
I love that big money players, our company,
did not say plus or gold.
They said diamond.
Diamond, honey.
Diamond status medallion.
Medallion.
It's very Delta.
Very Delta of them.
Very big plane.
Now, we should get right into it.
Okay.
So, like these lists are sort of famously known for, we're going to start at 10 and go to 1.
Because who wants to start at 1 and go to 10?
You know what I mean?
Honey, it's literally diminishing
returns. Truly.
So, this
is the top 10 pop
girly debut singles of all time
but mostly millennial. Here we go.
Number 10, Genie
in a Bottle, Christina Aguilera.
As soon as she comes
in and says, I feel like
I've been locked up tight in a century of lonely nights.
Waiting for someone to release me. We sort of get a sense of sort of repression.
Yes.
But of a demon willing to be unleashed. Not a demon, really. More like a spirit.
A spirit. Like sort of this was Christina saying, I have a talent that is ready to be unleashed on the world,
and it is a vivid one that you will remember forever.
And we have remembered forever, haven't we?
And growing up, I think on the radio, hearing the difference,
you got to treat me the right way versus you got to rub me the right way.
I said, well, no, why did they change that? What is so... Lamp imagery. Oh, why did they change it?
You got to treat me... You got to rub me the right way. So like, let's say, and I'm going to reveal
myself as a Radio Disney kid. On Radio Disney, they said, you got to treat me the right way.
I think that was classic parents saying, I don't want my kids rubbing.
Well, I was like,
what's so bad about rubbing,
you know?
And then I learned by exploring my own body
the beauty of rubbing.
What happens when you rub
is so...
Ultimately, honestly,
it was very Christina.
Christina literally
put me on a path
towards discovery.
This is why it's such
a great debut single,
because it hints at what's to come.
In the stripped album, she was rubbing so hard, she busts.
Oh, she busted.
And the sheets were soaked.
Absolutely.
And that's why Genie in a Bottle is number 10
on the pop girly debut singles last coach list.
Number nine, I Kissed a girl, Katy Perry.
Wow.
Who could forget when Katy Perry came out
and she dared be sort of a lesbian.
It is.
And to be a lesbian is the most daring thing.
And so I think no matter what,
even if you're curious,
even if you're fully in your identity
and your power as a lesbian person,
you've dared.
You have been daring. You've've dared. You have been daring.
You've been bold.
You've been adventurous.
Isn't it interesting that she sort of came out with I Kissed a Girl,
and then she would sort of go on to be one of the most heterosexual pop stars that we have?
Not only did she...
In that, I mean, she dated John Mayer.
And that she dated John Mayer,
and that she has a child with Rolando Bloom.
Incredibly straight girl things to do.
She fucked Diplo, which is do. She fucked Diplo.
She fucked Diplo.
That's the straight.
I mean, to fuck a bi guy, in hindsight, is very straight.
Do you know what I mean?
And to work in Vegas is the straightest thing you could possibly do.
100%. I think all the big straight girls, a lot of them on this list, have all worked in Vegas.
Well, I kissed a girl.
What was your first memory of it?
Because I see it so clearly.
Do you want to know what happened one of the times I was listening to I Kissed a Girl, what was your first memory of it? Because I see it so clearly.
Do you want to know what happened one of the times I was listening to I Kissed a Girl? I got in one of my very first car accidents while I was playing. In Long Island? Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
It's okay. It's now more funny than it was traumatic at the time. It was traumatic because
I wasn't sure if people were okay and everyone was okay ultimately but I did get into a car accident while
listening to this song and it hasn't dominated my memory of the song. It's contributed. I did
make out with our friend Charlotte while the song played in Las Vegas. You weren't on that trip. We
had to go see Katy Perry for my birthday and Patrick House's birthday and I made out with
our friend Charlotte. A bi woman. A little on the nose, but I love that. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to undercut.
I'm just saying,
I think it's so apropos
that you kissed Charlotte.
A lot of our gay friends
thought it was, quote, hot.
I'm so sorry.
I wasn't coming for you
when I said it was on the nose,
by the way.
It was on the mouth
is what it was.
Honey.
Right on the lips.
And that's why
I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry
is number nine
on the top ten
pop girly debut singles last called. And that's why I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry is number nine on the top ten pop girly debut singles last called.
And number eight.
Your Love, Nicki Minaj.
I love a ballad.
I love a beautiful ballad.
With a sample.
A ballad with a sample.
Listen to this, girl.
Okay, so, you know, we should say, of course, these are all of the Pop Girlies' debut studio
album singles. So Nicki obviously
had mixtapes. You know,
Be Me Up, Scotty is classic. But
this was when she came on the scene.
This was right when this woman was coming
on post-Monsterverse.
We were like, we need more of this person.
It was really a day where I
was in Honduras on a medical
brigade mission.
Oh my God.
After freshman year of college.
And the entire bus played Monster.
And the entire bus, all these fucking college students screaming Nicki's verse.
I was like, what is this?
It was the birth of a new artist.
Well, they were like, you haven't heard of Nicki Minaj yet?
Wow.
I was like, no.
And then went home from that trip, read up.
And then when this song came out, when Your Love came out,
I've never been able to get it out of my head.
He the type to keep a couple hundred grand in a rubber band.
I was just going to say the same line.
He the type to keep a couple hundred grand in a rubber band.
The damn money band in the mother land.
In the money grand.
I said he must be from the mother land.
Anyway, I think I met him in the sky. When I was ground I said he must be from the mother land anyway I think
I met him in the sky
when I was a geisha
he was a samurai
somehow I understood
him when he spoke Thai
never spoke lies
and he never broke fly
S so much
let me get my cape on
etc
and all these words
coming together
make the great song
that is your love
I'll never forget
when my friend
Allison Coelho
texted me
and she said
have you heard
Your Love
by Nicki Minaj
of course she introduced you
to Your Love
well she didn't
I had just heard it
and then she had just heard it
and she said
I had no idea
she was like a real artist
I was like
honey get ready
then Pink Friday dropped
soon we're gonna have
Pink Friday part 2
excited for that
excited for that
all these reasons are why
Your Love
by Nicki Minaj
is number 8 on the top 10 pop girly debut singles last coach.
Number seven.
Miss Independent Kelly Clarkson.
You came for me earlier when I put this on the list and you have a point.
I said, does this count?
Because I don't know if this is the debut single.
Technically, it was not the debut single.
It's the lead single from the debut album.
And this is sort of where I want to make the distinction because I feel like Kelly Clarkson does not consider a moment like this her first single. It's the lead single from the debut album. And this is sort of where I want to make the distinction because I feel like Kelly Clarkson
does not consider A Moment Like This her first single.
I feel like she considers Miss Independent her first single.
And I told you we could fight about this.
And you're not taking a combative tone.
Because you just explained it to me.
I appreciate it.
How can I poke holes in that?
If she's saying A Moment Like This was not my debut,
I have to respect.
Yeah, she was in no way,
in any way,
in control of that.
Of course not.
Selection of the song.
She and Justin sang it.
Exactly.
It's not even fully hers.
Nikki McKibben even recorded it.
Nikki even sang.
And so did Tamira, I think.
I think they all had versions of it
that they were getting ready
to release as the lead single,
and then they didn't.
Have we heard the Tamira version?
I would like to dig that up. I would love to hear that. All I want is release as the lead single, and then they didn't. Have we heard the Tamira version? I would like to dig that up.
I would love to hear that.
All I want is more a moment like this,
but can we just talk about how Miss Independent
launched Kelly into true pop stardom
and also co-written by Christina Aguilera.
This actually was a Christina Aguilera castaway.
And sometimes the songs that are always like,
you know, this song was supposed to be for blah blah blah.
I'm always like, well I'm glad it worked
out another way. I'm never
like, oh I wish Toxic was sang by Kylie
Minogue. No, that's Britney Spears' song.
You know what I mean? 100%.
Sometimes the songs end up with the right
pop girly. Yes. And this was the
case of that. In fact, to this day,
Kelly Clarkson says that one of her favorite
songs to perform live is Miss Independent.
I love that. And for that reason,
it's number seven on our list of
top ten pop-girly debut singles lost
culture. Number six,
Just Dance, Lady Gaga.
I know this changed your life.
Actually, this wasn't the song that changed my life.
I know this was the beginning of
something that would ultimately change your life.
I mean, it was a song that like...
Gives you the classic Lady Gaga roadmap, right?
Like, you hear it for the first time, you go,
it's interesting, I don't know if I love it just yet.
Then you listen to it again, then again and again and again.
And then something happens where you listen to it on the radio
or it comes on at the grocery store and you go,
wow, damn, that's good.
It's like a breath of fresh air.
Yeah.
Remember Chromatica Ball when she sang this?
Oh my God.
Well, she wasn't moving at all
and sang Just Dance.
She needn't move.
She needn't.
Because when she said Just Dance,
you know who heard her?
The Little Monsters.
The Little Monsters.
We were dancing for Mother.
Da-da-doo-doo.
Da-da-doo-doo.
I said, she can't come up with words for this, but I don't think there can possibly be lyrics for Mother. Da-da-doo-doo. Da-da-doo-doo. I said, she can't come up with words for this,
but I don't think there can possibly be lyrics for that expression.
Da-da-doo-doo, Just Dance, baby, yeah.
Colby O'Donis.
Colby O'Donis, those two words are why.
Just Dance is number six on the Top 10 Pop Girly Debut Singles.
Lost Cult. Number five. Baby, One More Time, Britney Spears. Just Dance is number six on the Top 10 Pop Girly Debut Singles. Lost Couch.
Number five.
Baby One More Time, Britney Spears.
I think we all remember where we were.
When we saw her traipse around the hallways, the basketball court.
Little Heathen.
Little Heathen.
Little Girl.
Little Girl dressed up as a big girl.
Confusing the fathers.
The fathers, the mothers,
the daughters,
the sons.
Yeah,
everyone in the family was confused but intrigued.
I mean,
this was confusing for us
as a generation
of little gay boys.
Because it was undeniable
to any living person
at the time
that she was
the hottest person alive.
That she appealed
to all sectors.
That if you were
a gay boy in the closet you were like
that's the most beautiful woman in the world and that was the same exact thing that was being said
by the straight boys yeah it actually was a unifier it was a unifier yeah i remember britney
spears there was a time in my life when my aunt and uncle like were like who's your favorite singer
and i remember i didn't really have one at the time, so I just said Britney Spears because it felt safe
because everyone knew
who she was.
Aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers,
the childless knew
who Britney Spears was.
The childless.
Those without nieces and nephews.
The parentless.
The orphans knew.
You know, TLC was first
offered this song.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, and you can kind of hear
a T-Boz chili vocal on it
if you really listen hard.
On the,
my loneliness. No, but I'm saying like, if you picture it in your mind's eye, you can kind of hear a T-Buzz Chili vocal on it if you really listen hard. On the my loneliness.
No, but I'm saying like if you picture it in your mind's eye.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can sort of, if you picture it in your mind's eye, you can sort of hear.
Uh-huh.
I can picture it.
T-Buzz and Chili on this.
Although, what would the Lisa Left Eye Lopez rap sample be on this?
It would be over the bridge.
Although, it's the classic Max Martin thing of overlays the bridge onto the chorus.
The last key change, overlaying the bridge onto the chorus at the same time. And it's the classic Max Martin thing of overlays the bridge onto the chorus for the last
key change
overlaying the bridge
onto the chorus
at the same time
and it's like
wow
like
whatever
Phil Spector
wall of sound
equivalent
oh my god
but I'm sure
the left eye verse
would have been over
like the
my loneliness
is killing
oh
instead of doing it twice
I love the bridge
of this song
it's incredible
my loneliness it's incredible my loneliness
it's don't you know
that's the thing
that's the interval
still believe
oh
I love it
and we love it so much
that it
is number five
on the list
of top ten
pop girly debut singles
lost cult
number four
call me maybe
Carly Rae Jepsen
now this is technically not accurate either.
Go on and say why.
Because as we all know, Carly Rae Jepsen places high in Canadian Idol in 2008.
Her debut album comes out.
Her single is something called Sunshine On My Shoulders.
I have not heard this song, but that is technically her debut single.
I have not heard that song.
But you retorted. I have not heard this song, but that is technically her debut single. I've not heard that song. But you retorted.
I retorted.
And you said,
you were being retorted.
I was being retorted, I should say.
And you said,
it has to be on the list.
And I said, you know what?
You're right.
Because this is the song
that everybody was able to be like,
this is the song.
I think that when this song came out,
everyone knew who Carly Rae Jepsen was,
and you couldn't tell most people this wasn't her debut single.
And I think it was designed by her record label
to feel like a debut single,
because this was her introduction.
If you weren't Canadian and weren't ringing the phones
on Canadian Idol, you didn't know this young girl.
Honey, if you're not living in Manitoba with a landline dialing, you know,
Carly Rae's number every week, you didn't know who the fuck she was.
No, you did not.
I'll never forget at the time when this came out,
a lot of the narrative around her was like, well, you know she's 40.
And I was like, what?
And I think the truth of it was she was in her, like, late 20s.
And people were like, she's so old.
Fuck, that sucks.
It sucks so much.
But you know what doesn't suck?
The earworm.
That is Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.
Can I say something before we move on?
It's the strings for me.
The strings are the thing that I'm always like,
and it's like, I'm like, yes!
It's candy.
It's one of the most candy songs you can ever listen to,
which is why Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen is number four
on the top 10 pop girly debut singles.
Lost Cult.
Lost Cult.
Number three.
Crazy in Love, Beyonce.
I mean, what song is more...
When it starts at the Renaissance World Tour,
serotonin releases into your brain.
Oh, my God.
The horns, the iconic stomp.
The stomp.
The dance at the end.
I would say the white girl stomp was an invention,
ironically, of Beyonce's in this music video
and in the subsequent live performances.
Yes.
She made that kind of stomp,
something that white girls saw and said,
I can walk too, I bet.
I can lift my knees a little bit higher.
Shake my hips, sway them to and fro.
To, fro, here, there, back, forth.
Can we talk about this?
When I talk to my friends so quietly.
Who we think he is.
Look at what you did to me.
When I talk to my friends so quietly.
Writing.
The way that the chorus comes back in
when you don't expect it after the Jay-Z verse.
The Jay-Z verse kind of ends a little bit sooner
than it's supposed to.
Genius.
Do you remember when she said,
got me hoping you page me right now?
Even in the year of our Lord, 2023, we're still being like, got me hoping you page me right now. Even in the year of our Lord, 2023,
we're still being like,
got me hoping you page me right now.
I hope I get paged by the item of my affection.
This is one of those things,
like there is such a fear these days around like,
oh,
let's not like throw slang into like our scripts or our songs
because then it'll date it too quickly.
Every now and then it's fine.
If it's good enough, it won't matter,
because guess what?
We're going to be singing it, quoting it,
20 years from now, and we're not going to care.
Look out for my new single, Apple Watch,
dropping in 2024.
I looked down at my Apple Watch Series 7.
I looked down at my Apple Watch Series 7.
Saw your name.
I saw you were texting me, boy, I looked down at my Apple Watch Series 7. Saw your name.
I saw you were texting me, boy.
On my iOS 17 phone.
How to update the iOS 8.
And that's why Crazy in Love by Beyonce is number three on the top ten pop girly debut singles.
Lost Cult.
Number two.
TikTok Kesha.
Well, I guess we should save this for the end of this discussion for this particular song.
But now I can't not say it.
This was supposed to be number one.
It was supposed to be number one.
And then Bowen reminded me of another song.
And I said, wait, hold the phone. Hold the phone.
Popular expression for wait a second.
I knew that that one had to be number one.
But this was number two.
Here's a famous thing about my life.
The first time I heard this song, not only did I hate it,
I actually thought music was over.
I'm like, what are you kidding me?
I remember.
The second time I heard it,
I thought it was the biggest smash I'd ever heard in my life.
What do you think today?
I think it's number two on the list of top 10 popular singles.
There you go.
That's what I think.
This song is 14 years old.
As of this recording, 14 years old as of this recording 14 years
old this is incredible
you want to know why it's
so iconic because it gets
Kesha across in a nutshell
all these songs need to get the artist across
in a nutshell and everything
about pretty much all of these songs
says this is who I am
here is the introduction to who I am
like literally every single one of them.
Like Ginny in a Bottle,
you have that like raw sexuality and vocals.
Kissed a Girl, you have the cheeky humor.
Go off.
Your Love, you have like Nicki Minaj giving...
Giving you like fucking like,
a female rapper hasn't done before,
like syllabic acrobatics.
You're like, damn,
like I would never have thought like
a couple hundred grand in the rubber band,
just laying money,
playing in the money gram, you know?
I mean, you're like,
oh shit.
Yes,
like giving like,
Dexterity.
Verbosity and dexterity to everyone,
and then everyone sort of nailing it in their own right.
Uh-huh.
Then Miss Independent,
you have like,
that big chorus.
That's indicative of Kelly,
that like big,
blasted choruses,
and those tasty little verses.
Tasty verses where she's low and crispy.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, and then keep going.
Just Dance, Gaga.
Just Dance gave pure pop.
Dance pop.
The revival of like
Euro-inspired
dance pop techno.
Baby One More Time
gave tongue-in-cheek.
I mean,
those like
little Stevie Wonder-ism
vocals that Britney
had in the very beginning.
Britney,
that really was like
pure 90s pop sound too.
Like she engineered and was like,
sounded perfectly on her voice.
But it's through one person that's like yearning,
teenage yearning through one person.
So good.
Okay, now Call Me Maybe.
I think Call Me Maybe was just like a true genius
or songwriter getting it across and saying to you,
it doesn't matter what you want,
you're singing my song.
And I think Carly Rae Jepsen, like, especially for gays now, it doesn't matter.
When Carly Rae comes out, you're singing.
It really is amazing how at this point she's established.
The thing she's established as like something different from like Taylor's version, let's say.
It's like, here are the B-sides that are going to be just as good as
the regular album. We've gone through three cycles of this now. And I'm like, that's amazing.
Yes. TikTok said, I'm a mess and I'm chaotic and you're singing along to it.
We skipped Crazy in Love.
Oh, Crazy in Love. Literally, even the Jay-Z feature. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just all like,
this is Beyonce saying,
I am a take charge.
I remember the first time I heard this,
I thought Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
I thought like, timeless.
That's what I love about Crazy in Love,
is it is a timeless sound.
You could put it out today.
It would be a hit.
Yeah.
Even with the Page Me lyric,
I think she'd find a way
to make that like, innovative.
It's powerful.
Yes.
As it hearkens to the classics.
It's dance forward, and also it had anens to the classics. It's dance forward.
And also it had an iconic dance move attached to it,
which she would do many, many, many times.
I feel like that's also a part of Beyonce that like gets lost.
It's the fact that she's like pretty much always gives you like,
even if we don't have the visuals explicitly on Renaissance,
like we have like dances that we're doing to the songs.
Like she's just timeless.
And Crazy in Love was that.
Crazy in Love was that. Crazy in Love was that.
And then TikTok by Kesha,
as we finish this conversation about that song,
college for us.
Absolutely.
And said, I'm a nasty, nasty pop girl who speaks singing,
but it's melodic and musical and brilliant.
And she would do that many, many times.
And that's why it's number two on our top 10
pop girly debut singles, Lost Cult. Which brings's why it's number two on our top 10 pop girlie debut singles,
Lost Cult.
Which brings us all the way to number one,
London Bridge, Fergie.
Yes!
A stupid song.
Stupid.
Stupid.
So stupid.
Makes no sense.
Oh, shit. Oh, sense. Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Fergie Ferg, what's up, baby?
It makes no sense.
How come every time you come around my London, London bridge,
when I go down like London, London, London.
Much of her first album, her debut album, The Duchess, doesn't make any sense.
But we never have gotten a better album since.
It's art.
It's one of the great pieces of art we've experienced
in culture. The hits from that
album are
bountiful. Tell me
a better song than Glamorous. Go ahead.
For Delicious.
Big Girls Don't Cry.
Cause I'm gonna miss you like a
time is a dead blanket.
But I'm gonna get a move on
with my life.
I said every song, tasty girl.
Tasty girl.
Clumsy when I'm falling in love.
Clumsy, are you kidding me?
People are still on these streets singing glamorous.
When they feel glamorous, the thing that pops into their head is
they start spelling the damn word.
I can't describe how London Bridge opened the door to Fergie.
Yes.
And here's the thing.
It gets lost in the conversation.
Yes.
But not anymore.
Not anymore.
It's number one.
Because the second everyone turns off this podcast, they're going to go to their Spotify,
their Apple Music, whatever it is.
They're going to go to their Walkman if they're still using one.
They're going to go to their vinyls.
They're going to whip out the Duchess vinyl that they definitely own.
I'm getting one.
And if you don't get one. I'm getting one. They're going to put her on vinyls. They're going to whip out the Duchess vinyl that they definitely own. I'm getting one. They're going to put it on the player,
put the thing on the record,
and start spinning London
Bridge.
I mean, this song is
powerful. I'm so glad we landed on this
as number one.
Drink stuff, learn everybody's stuff.
Drink stuff, learn everybody's stuff.
Learn everybody's stuff. It's looking real good.
The great girl's got your girl feeling loose.
Oh, shit.
So dangerous to come out in a time when I was going to Sweet Sixteens in high school.
Oh, my God.
Because the Great Goose did have your girl feeling loose in front of my friend's parents.
My Humps was a sinful song that made our generation devils.
Whores and devils.
And then we thought we knew Fergie then.
But even with London Bridge, it's that same thesis that you were saying earlier
where this blasted down the doors.
Fergie created the culture of our generation
being whores and devils.
And that's rule of culture number 80.
Fergie created the culture of our generation
being whores and devils.
And that is why
London Bridge by Fergie
is number one
on the top 10
pop girly debut singles
Lost Culture.
