Back in the days of single-dom I remember listening to this song and thinking that I wished some of my exes felt this way...

I hear what you meant - sound-wise and lyrically.

haven't listened to any Apple in a long time, so this hits the spot.

They might be, but I was referring to how SV sounds pure as the driven snow compared to FA.

I'm a big fan of Fiona Apple, but I really don't get why this song is so popular. Far from my favorite of hers.

Worth a listen, Fiona Apple and Elvis Costello.  Much more respect for her recently.

Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures
That the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street

Heard rumor of a new album coming out this spring 2011.

Loved seeing her with Nickel Creek a few years back, magical evening.

I'm surprised to hear you say that - cos there's a zillion other American songstresses who sound exactly the same pretty much

Yikes! Such hostility. Who started this?

Indeed, 'kat'. Speaking purely primal, she SOUNDS like a young lady one could become very criminal with. Yikes.

It's just a freakin cool song.... that's all people  

Fiona Apple is the anti-Suzanne Vega.

I just never "got" F.A.  Furthermore, if you folks get turned on by her Anorexic-as-sex object vids and pics, then I don't get *you* either.....

Fiona Apple is doing something better than sprinkling sexuality on her music like a topping; sexuality is often the subject of her music.  Like Nina Simone, or Etta James — it's a long and effective tradition.

I think Bjorks Human Behaviour should be played after this.
Got that same ominous brooding bass line thing going on. 

A classic from the apple tree.  Oh and just to wade in on the other nonsense its OK for good artists to add a bit of sexuality much like a cherry on top of your sunday where the problem lies is with those with no talent getting by with only sexuality like most of the chart music in whatever country you are listening.
