Nah, it just doesn't fit. Please return this stolen property to the Pumpkins.

Sorry, a quick Google revealed that it's an abbreviation for Occupy Wall Street. Here in Southern California we refer to that movement simply as "Occupy." I've never heard anyone use the OWS acronym.

There's something chilling about her girly vocal - I think the comment about female rape/incest victims who maintain an outwardly sweet demeanor really nails it. I work with women/girls with those experiences, and often it turns out they are committing horrific and deeply intimate violence in their personal lives, such as cutting, abuse by partners, extreme paraphilia, self-administered beatings, and worse. This version hints at that kind of shelled rage.
Maybe that's why so many people feel uncomfortable with it. Keep playing it, RP. Thanks.

Another one of those "upside down" covers: lets take a full head-on, in-your-face, angry, powerful, brilliant song, and do it with a sweet, cute, mellow, female vocals, with just a piano in the background. simply terrible.

I'd say this is more of the anthem song for all those OWS dummies.

To me, this song seems a fair depiction of their predicament: social expectations have trapped them in a cage requiring moderate behavior, but they're still very angry... spot on. . . |

Just thinking the same! Kinda funny considering how often Tori gets "Kate Bush called..." |

Her voice is better than Corgan's but it doesn't save this interpretation at all. Not that great. Too sparse perhaps.

I give it a 1 cause the original song sucks too. Actually the song is fine, but both versions have sucky singers.

I give it a "2" only because the original song is awesome.  |

Sung without the angst, this song is lackluster. Meh. |
