I can only assume that you're going to be putting a nice package of goodies etc together and giving it/sending it to Tori, as any previous mentions of this have been lost in amongst the copious amounts of bullshit posts which I ignore. A couple of thoughts here. Firstly, for the love of God, don't call her "tozza" - that has to be the stupidest name I've heard. It looks and sounds retarded. (back me up here people, I know some of you agree!) Secondly, I hope you have something in mind for the cash. Somehow giving Tori money wouldn't get the kind of appreciation I think you're aiming for. Hopefully my assumption that this is what you've got in mind is not going to waste and you *do* have things in mind. (if so, what?)

Fucking awesome, amazing, brilliant and funkay! Smooth mix of electronic beats, keyboards and crystal clear lyrics from some awesome chick. Quite catchy, "dizzy from this fucking mess" and "I don't know where I am, but I like it here just fine". The record I got is called This is How it Feels (title track). Recommend checking them out - Beth meets PJ and sometimes she does something with her voice that wouldn't be out of place on a Tori CD. Anyways, nighty night! Oh and PS - I love Kate Bush.

It seems pretty conclusive to me that Tori sings "sick little fucks", given what some guy (apologies, I can't read the digest from this particular Inbox and I can't remember said guy's name) stated about the Taiwanese lyrics and the meet & greet comment. But personally I am sticking with my original interpretation "slick little fox" because that's what I want to hear, and I damn well like it that way. :) (I'm not sure if everyone is aware that "fox" is an Americanism for an attractive girl, as in "check out that fox over there"... I suppose a derivative from "foxy" as in "Foxy Lady" or, for that matter, "and I know she's not that foxy"...) (And another thing: just how reliable are Taiwanese lyrics anyway? We're talking about the same country that interpreted "Monday morning, eighteen years of dawning" as "Monday morning knitting ears of gold" after all...)

(although admittedly enunciation of lyrics has never been Tori's forte', so she could have actually *meant* to include one, but just didn't ;) Are you left-handed by any chance? ;) You see, I had a leftie friend who was totally *hopeless* at deciphering song-lyrics.. and I have this little theory that perhaps lefties are not so great at deciphering song lyrics... and am considering doing my PhD in this topic (j/k). > (I'm not sure if everyone is aware that "fox" is an > Americanism for an attractive > girl, as in "check out that fox over there"...

"when the night falls down, I wait for you and you come around" doesn't seem too 'ultra-feminist' to me. In fact, it seems quite.. dependent. Then the tune was also not written by Belinda... tsk tsk.. and was written by Rick Knowles or someone instead (plus I remember they got sued for ripping off Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name")... doesn't quite reek of 'girl power' to me. > > > shakespeare's sister - stay (*hi nayth*) > firstly, ths cd in question has them listed as > shakepeare's so :P > and "i'll make you beg for more" is obviouslya sign > of female sexual > power..she's not begging him to "stay", but advising > him for his own good :) Why do you assume they're necessarily singing about a male? ;) Secondly, I think the lyrics could be interpreted as being depended on another - ie, "I'll die if you don't stay with me". > > > bangles - manic monday > > its a song about the pressures of being a young > working womyn ina sexist > workforce... or something.. And of course written by Prince (using the monicker 'Christopher') - a male (well, that might be a tad questionable.. j/k). Again, doesn't exactly reek of 'girl power' to me. Nathan. .
