I don't see how it's narcissistic. I think it's about being strong and not crumbling when life is hard or someone is an asshole to you. It's about saying "F off!" and finding a strong sense of yourself so you are not affected by other people's negativity.  Be kind to me or treat me mean, I'll make the most of it...I'm an extraordinary machine.

I was going to joke that this sounds like a happy FIona Apple. Then I saw that it was.

I met her once in LA with her boyfriend (PTA). She's a tiny thing. Quiet as a mouse. Said nothing the entire time.Wild how you can have such an extroverted artist but such a quiet person.

NOT 4 ME

Quite a narcissistic song, I somehow doubt she was being sarcastic. Fuck narcissism, stop singing about it.

Big Fiona Apple fan.  This song is no exception.

one  apple  no wormies...yum...could eat up her tunes forever...and Bill ..You heard the awesome from the played...much better  much .....
the CD  is great  the unrehearsed............Priceless

This is not as good as the version in the CD I have (official release in Israel), so I'd only give it a 9.

Okay, so I used to like this song a wee bit, but after hearing it this time the thing that STILL stands out and irritates me the most is Fiona's inability to say the "ra" part in extRAordinary.

Honestly, all I could hear yet again was extordinary machine over and over. It was like a splinter in my mind. Arghhh

  I like her music. I also like the fact that she writes her own music, and is in the studio the whole time it's produced to make sure it comes out the way she wants it to. I respect that. Whether you like her music or not, at least she's true to her art.

I think I'm one of the few people that like this song and most of the songs off of this album. Of course, I'm a big Fiona fan. Yes, it's the lips!

This song rolls out behind me

what's the meaning of the cover art?

I noticed you don't play this song's twin: Julie London's 'Girl Talk'

Or the see-through kind which you can get in one of those expensive detox clinics in desert CA. In this case the placebo (effect) flows right past your eyes!

I have to say, she exceeded my low expectations. Apple's most interesting work.

You naysayers don't just need to poop, you need high colonics. This song is fantastic! I love how expressive Fiona is in her vocals.
