about

After winning studio time for “Best Performance” at the 2019 Ship and Anchor Songwriting Contest, The Hotline needed a new single.
Armed with determination and unsubstantiated optimism the trio arrived at The Sound Priory, with engineer Kirill Telichev (engineer/producer for Copperhead, The Dudes, HighKicks, All Hands on Jane) and tracked the single.
“I was doing CPR on my heart and was drowning in hurt feelings” recalls the band’s singer Mason Jenkins. “Looking back on this track, I went full Taylor Swift.” Mason explains he wrote the track after ending a relationship in June. “I have since gathered and sorted through my feelings about the real Dirtbag Beauty Queen and all I have is love, respect and admiration for her. She is truly a queen…and a total dirtbag.” Mason insists this title is a mutually agreed pet name of sorts, and that “it’s all good in the hood.”
After being mastered by Elisa Pangsaeng (engineer/producer for Hey Ocean! Said The Whale) The resulting track is a punchy spin on classic rock n’ roll, with a celebratory garage sound. It’s hot, it’s heavy, it’s packed with so many hooks, the phones are ringing off ‘em!

lyrics

Dirtbag Beauty Queen (repeat)

A crystal gazer once told me
About a dark haired lady
Little older, little colder, chip on her shoulder
One day, be my baby.
Enter you, 32, what is you?
She told me
Who would come eventually
Maybe not, or I thought, or is this just, a case of mistaken identity?

Dirtbag Beauty Queen, greatest love I’ve ever seen
You are so cruel, you are so mean to my heart.

Known local babe,
so badly behaved,
Power in unshaved, will I ever be saved?
Love you more, 34, was it who you told me
“I’ll get there eventually.”
I followed you with my whole heart, and every wish of yours, I obeyed
