Blue Strips by Jessie Murph ‧ 2025
I had to
look up on what exactly ‘blue strips’ is. It’s a obscure reference -
According to Holler Country, the term is likely a slang reference to hundred-dollar bills — there is a blue 3-D security ribbon woven into the paper. This ribbon, when tilted, displays alternating "100s and Liberty Bells that move side to side and up and down,” per the outlet. In the song, Jessie sings about going to the strip club and throwing blue-stripped $100 bills at one of the dancers.
Smoking cigarettes on balconies (hmm)
I ain't jumpin', but I'll die to settle scores
You can feel her anguish in her voice!
I'm goin' home, I'ma take it off for him
I'ma strip down all your wrongs, ah
