1. A dog may be man's best friend, but Marilyn Monroe had it right when she sang that pure carbon was better. My daughter's excuse is that it's her birthstone, so you can't argue with that. Which song is this? Diamonds and Pearls Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend Diamonds are Forever Black Diamonds

2. Cyndi Lauper hit the charts in 1983/84 with which feminist song about girls living life to the fullest? All I Want To Do Is Have Some Fun Girls Just Want To Have Fun I Love the Night Life It's Raining Men

3. My eldest daughter assures me that a night on the town does not involve any imbibing, but I'm sure she's telling whoppers. Hopefully the Eagles aren't leading her astray with their alcoholic offering. Pina Colada Tequila Sunrise Red, Red Wine Jamaica Rum

4. A few years ago my daughter morphed into an alien being; a teenaged girl. Madonna was right on the money when she described the mentality of the stereotypical teenage girl in a hit song.

5. Self-confidence, that's what girls need to survive in the big, wide world today. It helps when the new mantra being sung was the theme song for a hit 2006 Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway movie. I am Woman Suddenly I See Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves Respect

8. Remember the tears when a boy didn't call when he said he would? Well, these days it seems like the girls ring the boys as much as the reverse. Blondie had the measure of youth with which 1980 hit? I Just Called to Say I Love You Ring, Ring Call Me Telephone Line

9. Man cannot live by bread alone, and neither can young ladies. Australia's own Kylie Minogue was no fool with her song about one of a girl's favourite food groups. I Want Candy Sugar, Sugar Chocolate My Boy Lollipop
