Maybe repetative, but I like it a lot. I see a lot of negative comments. Lets add this possitive comment :) Yeah.

Uh...do ya think, maybe he FORGOT?!? . . . A guy asks to meet you at a head shop, I mean...sheesh.
Duude, like, maybe he got the munchies, y'know? Tina could be singing the Copenhagen sewer department annual report and I'd probably still listen to it. Love her voice.
This song sucks bongwater.
i know she's really hot and everything but this song sounds like it belongs on some top 40 radio station.
ok what kinda kickbacks is RP getting for playing this crap?
Was a "3", now a "2" due to being overplayed.
OK I got it. WAAAAAY tooo repetitious! Stop repeating it(the song)!
Uh...do ya think, maybe he FORGOT?!? Too much A guy asks to meet you at a head shop, I mean...sheesh.
Her voice is a bit too "poppy" for me today.
Hmm... I liked the sound of this song, but wondered, "Is she actually saying, 'meet me at the head shop'"? Well, yes, she is. Huh. So, I clicked the lyrics link and read them. Wow, I think she has some really nice lyrics in the verses of this song. However, they don't really get heard -- at least not upon my first listening. All I heard was "meet me at the head shop" which didn't really do anything for me. So, I'm not sure how to rate this. I'll give it a 6 for now, and see if my opinion changes later on.

Not quite... I've never heard of anyone else than here with the lastname Dickow or Dico But her last name is Dickow... Don't know why it's spelled Dico on here CD's. Her official homepage is www.tinadickow.dk And she's always presented as Tina Dickow on posters etc. Never seen the Dico version before... Perhaps to make it a little eaisier to people like Bill...
Maybe to further confuse matters, I have a friend whose last name is Dickowski, which is, I believe, Polish origin. Maybe Tina's family emigrated to Denmark some time ago and shortened the name?
With the exception of "Breathe Me" on Sia's album... This sounds like it pretty much destroys the recent solo album from Zero 7's other vocal goddess. Very... VERY nice. Plus, she's pretty damn hot.
That wavering feeback sound, isn't that lifted from a Radiohead song?
she does say "Head Shop" thought I miss heard it...?
Pretty dull this. Hope she has better songs.
interesting ratings distribution. don't recall ever seeing one like it. I find the song is a snoozer.
You know how it works: pretty female singer gets signed by a big record company, marketing men crank into gear, playlists are secured, key territories identified, support slots booked, budgets are spent and, with a bit of luck and a prevailing wind, you've got a hit. That's how the record business works. Or… you could do it Tina Dico's way. That the 27-year-old has beaten Coldplay and U2 to Number One in her native Denmark is impressive. That she has won the Best Songwriter Grammy and been voted Best Composer at the Danish Music Critics Awards is no mean feat. But the fact she did all this by putting out her music herself – without recourse to the marketing muscles of A Big Record Company – makes her unique. In an age of gimmicks and payola, text-in talent contests and image-first/music-second rock posturing, Tina Dico did it the other way: on the strength of her songs. From the William Morris Agency web page on Tina. (Full bio available in PDF format.)
Knorr mentioned www.tinadickow.dk as being Tina's web site. Only problem is that everything is in Danish! Here is the English version of the same web site - www.tinadico.com Tina is touring the world. Click here for Tina's current concert schedule. (Too bad she isn't stopping by Oklahoma!) Amazon.com samples from In The Red. I don't know how long the link will appear on their main page, but click here to visit a radio station that had Tina visiting them and giving a live performance. There is an interview after the songs, followed by yet more songs. (You need to have Real Player installed to listen.) Keep in mind, when listening to the interview, that it aired on September 29, 2004. Tina does a fantastic acoustic version of a song she co-wrote with and sang for Zero 7!!! Tina also has a web page on Myspace Music. Once that web page fully loads, you will be treated to yet another song by this amazing song-writer/singer. (The song, Losing, is the first song on her full-length album In The Red.)

My guess is that Tina would be particularly easy to market - especially to an American audience where appearance is everything! (She can't help it that, besides being a wonderful singer, she is also very beautiful.)
Well... That's the scandinavian girls allrigth...

Must be what English-speaking people refer to as "anglicized" - "to change to English idiom, pronunciation, customs, manner, etc." (Also click here for Wikipedia entry on the subject.) That or the name change was a simple marketing ploy! :-)

Tina's home country is Denmark - same as Knorr. I think Knorr was referring to the correct way to pronounce Dico, which is probably not an uncommon name in Denmark, not the spelling.

Wow...that's odd because everything I look up about this artist spells her name DICO...

Sampled the rest of the album In The Red on Amazon.com and it is really really good. Other reviewers on Amazon.com say that Tina's other album, Far, is really good too. Too bad we can't listen to samples from that album. Far on Amazon.com
Damn, are there still head shops around?!
