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'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
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what it feels like in the back
Of your pink Cadillac

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

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

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.

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.

So your original message was the BBS equivalent of putting a flaming bag of poop on the doorstep. Nice one.

Now, if you actually watch the video which you drew attention to, it is designedly erotic, as is the song. The artist herself is putting shedloads of steamy sex into it, so it's out of order to then slag off RP listeners for commenting on that very eroticism. As for her being a "genius", if every singer whose fans call her a genius really were a genius, the average IQ level of the music industry would rise by an order of magnitude. Just plain feckin' good is enough, without going into "genius" hyperbole.
 

LOL, Bravo!  Good song though.

This was the message I got trying to click through (I must admit, I've never seen the video...) This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. I really hate Sony. {#Headache}

Every time I hear this song I imagine her standing in the bed of a pick-up truck with a cowboy hat on and the band is strategically positioned amongst the scrub surrounding the truck. . .it seems more C&W to me than garbage or grunge rock

It sounds like she heard a Medeski, Martin and Wood track and told her producer that she wanted that sound. Hey Bill! It's been too long, how about some of the real MMW? {#Laughing}
 
Today's playlist:

Fiona Apple - Criminal
Medeski, Martin & Wood - Mami Gato
Amadou & Mariam - Ce N'est Pas Bon
Beck - Golden Age

But I wouldn't compare this to the ultra-cool, mega-smooth stuff from MMW.
