Kitty Katt-Martini’s Top Ten Songs to Kick Butt To
So many awesome songs, so few slots in a Top Ten list. Basically, um, just ten. Yeah, whatever. But anyway, I’ll give it my best shot because that’s the kind of girl I am! And I reserve the right to change this list at any given time. Because, you know, a girl needs to keep her options open.
10. Come Hell or High Water, by Poison
9. Animal, by The Neon Trees
8. Born to Raise Hell, by Motörhead
7. Saints of Los Angeles, by Mötley Crüe
6. Trouble, by P!nk
5. The Bitch is Back, by Elton John
4. We Want the Airwaves, by The Ramones
3. Steel Claw, by Tina Turner
2. Anything and everything by Aerosmith, but especially Nine Lives
1. Enter Sandman, by Metallica
Let’s take a look at Universal Alien:
Being the wife of the Vice President isn’t easy. Especially when your talents lie in kicking butt and rocking out…
Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini find out just how easy it is for the wife of the Vice President of the United States to unintentionally insult an ally. Now they have to smooth things over with the Australian Prime Minister, pronto, or risk creating an international incident the worldwide anti-alien coalitions will be able to use to force Jeff to resign and the A-Cs to leave the planet.
But before Kitty can make things worse, a cosmic congruence and a little help from some powerful beings shoves her into another world — one where she’s been married to Charles Reynolds for years and aliens don’t exist. She’s also landed in the middle of a huge conspiracy and is marked for death…but at least that’s business as usual.
Kitty’s not the only one confused, because the Kitty from that world has taken her place in this one. Now Alpha Team and the Diplomatic Corps have to make sure that no one spots that there’s been a switch, while keeping World War III from happening. And they have to do so while keeping this new Kitty in line, because she has views about what to do and how to it, and time is running out.
Can both Kittys save their respective days before it’s too late to go home to the universes they belong to? Or will one Kitty decide to keep the other’s life…forever?

Some awesome songs listed here. I started singing Poison’s Come Hell or High Water in my head when I read it. LOL. Knew I liked Kitty for some reason. Hehe!
I am soooo looking forward to reading the new Kitty story. I am also hoping to be the lucky winner of one of the first NINE Kitty books. “It’s good to be the winner”. and it saves me money for other things, like repairs for my car.
Thanks for hosting Gini’s giveaway.
i only know two of these songs so i really need to do some researh for teh others^^ but yes music and kitty are a tandem i can’t imagine her fighting without any( at least in her head)
thanks for such a fun post! I love this series 😉 Congrats to Gini on the newest release!
To beat the alien fuglies, you have to rock it loud! (I probably would have gotten us all squished then. Sigh.) Love you, Gini! bookwormpov (at) gmail (dot) com
I love the way Gini includes so many different songs in the series & I’m always finding new songs to add to my play lists thanks to Kitty :o)
Great post. Have to look up the songs I don’t know now.
Interesting songs; haven’t heard of them
Sarah, I’ve added quite a bit to my playlist ala Kitty also. I do have to wonder how much Kitty and Gini’s kick butt playlists would differ and which songs.

I think Kitty should add Super Space Invaders by Eisenfunk to her list. It always gets me moving.
Hey, Gini. What stand-alone novel that you’ve read do you wish had a sequel?
That sounds like a fun list. I know some of them.
