My question is when/where can I find a copy of Wicked Girls to put on my Ipod? It needs to be a road trip song and Pennsic is coming. :)

Voila (http://seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/33508.html)!

[orlacarey.livejournal.com]

Thanks - but that lets me hear it on my computer (have been listening to it for a week or so) but I don't think I can download it from there

[talkstowolves.livejournal.com]

Right click, "save link as" makes us happy wicked girls indeed.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that if you right-click the link, it should give you a "save as" option. There's no official recorded version, as yet.

Also, you can buy the concert recording from DucKon (benefiting the Filk Fund). Also also, there are websites that turn YouTube videos into MP3s, so you could MP3 the version from DucKon that way.

What she said. Right click the link. In IE, it will have a 'save target as...' option and in Firefox the option is 'save link as...'. It will bring up a dialog you can use to save it to your computer and then import into whatever music program you use.

Thanks...that was fun.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Also tiring.

Those are works of art. Thank you very much indeed!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Very welcome!

Given enough time (and energy, of course), this song could turn into another Young Man Mulligan.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

No, 'cause these are, for the most part, totally apocryphal—their girls aren't eligible, and wouldn't want to be.

[orlacarey.livejournal.com]

so the next question - can you please identify the sources of the girls in the original version of the song?

Yes some of the lost girls are obvious, Alice, Dorothy, Wendy, Lucy and Susan are easy.

But who are Mandy, Mia, Deborah, Kate, Mary and Kaia?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

The bridge is reserved for real people. Mandy, Mia, Deborah, Kate, Mary, and Kaia are friends of mine. Mia is the one who made the original "Wicked Girls" pendant. Deborah is the one who requested I write the song.

[orlacarey.livejournal.com]

Very cool! thanks :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend checking my website FAQs for really specific questions like this. You'd be surprised how many of them have already been answered. :)

[orlacarey.livejournal.com]

I actually looked at the FAQ (http://seananmcguire.com/musicfaq.php) - which explained who Jane was but I didn't see anything about the other names. But then I might have missed it.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Oops! Thanks for pointing out the omission.

Here you go. (http://seananmcguire.com/musicfaq.php#songs)
