Awful but effective at loosening stubborn earwax. |

The piano part alone is intuitive and cool and worth a higher score...even if Tori grates the nerves a bit.

I like to support RP by buying through amazon, but damn if they're not making it hard at amazon.ca. It seems that amazon.ca has given up on older music in their library. Lately I've noticed that they may have these CDs still available but wiht a 1-2 month delivery time. WTF? I guess I won't be buying this Tori Amos disc.

The song begins with a very commanding piano intro and whistling supplied by for a few dollars more and then the captivating vocals. In my opinion almost a perfect song. I like Tori and this particular song quite a lot!  |

You know this song is actually not bad, all it needs is someone who does not sing so irritatingly and it would be quite good. As it stands, I will actually raise it from a 1 to a 2. That's as good as it gets Ms. Amos, sorry!

 She was the cornflake girl for a Kellogg's commercial in 1987. At least they featured her at the piano!  Bill is da bomb for playing Tori!!!!!!!!!! |

One of Tori's best songs! I think I may raise my rating of it to a 2. Nah. Nevermind.

And even though it's a patriarchal culture that she's talking about, and that this custom was put into practice a long, long time ago by the patriarchy, it's the mothers that take their daughters. And, what I was singing about was, it's funny how from generation to generation women really betray each other in the ladies' room. There is a whole secret society that happens, and a lot of times a mother will say 'I'm doing this for your good' whether it was binding the feet in the Eastern cultures or whether it's marrying your daughter to this gangrene, smelly-breathed, old, decrepit, rotting scumbag that's 80 years old with dough. 'You know, this is really the best for you,' when the truth is, it's the best for everybody else. And, that's an extreme of women's relationships brought to just like, your girlfriend that you're hanging out with, but betrayal is betrayal, and I was thrown in to many situations as I was reading that book where girls, my girls, we were just dissin' each other. The things that we were doing, umm, it's like I would have never imagined that we could be so unsupportive of each other, and it was just happening while I was reading this book, and Cornflake Girl is the betrayal really of girls." — Tori; 99X Radio Interview, 08/05/94"History has recorded some pretty nasty things that have happened to people I think we remember I think it's in our cells and I think it can still hurt sometimes." — Tori; Under The Pink Songbook Yeah... I'm gonna go ahead and say this tangent was a way of trying NOT to look like a sellout. Hiding behind some feminist ideal doesn't help much — it's still pretty easy to pull the blanket off that bullsh*t. She shouldn't be so hard on herself. You gotta whore yourself to someone sometime to get to where you wanna go. That's life. It's easier to slide on bullshit than it is gravel. That said... great song. |
