The entire album though IS really good - no it REALLY is.

YEAH - of COURSE - I was just giving a BLATANT example... she IS a sexy cartoon though - you'd have to admit it - gay or straight, bi or ... tri! ;o) I just can't think of any others off the top of my head at the moment... They're not really cartoons - I was watching a movie last night - late night Showtime movie on Foxtel called "The Specials"... LOL at Deadly Girl "Commanding the dead and skeletons is pretty cool I guess... until they start trying to eat the soft parts of your face when you sleep"! LOL! Its a movie in the vein of "Mystery Men" except this is a really pathetic bunch of superheroes - and you don't really see any superhero stuff... the group is basically breaking up. It's quite funny! Actually it's nothing like Mystery Men - its just that you've got dysfunctional superheroes... That sabrina chick turns up in one small scene after "the specials" have broken up seeing if "Deadly Girl" want's to join the Fem Five... she is "Sunshine Grrrrl" - a Lesbian - the Fem Five are already 8, but they won't change their name because counting is the yoke of male oppression on women! LOL! You'd have to see it... Hmmmmmm sexy cartoon characters... Can't even choose the Gummi Bears - I'm POSITIVE that the girl gummi there was a lesbian I mean her name was "Sonny" ;) Oohhhhh, OK the Ninja Scrolls - getting more adult here - but there are full on sex scenes here - can be quite... erotic. Good late night SBS movie I caught once. To finish I'll quote Red Dwarf...

OH.....MY.....GOD.....AGAIN!

It's "do your governments have secrets they they SOLD" (from YKTR's "Floating City" for any song-identification-dyslexics out there). Holly, I am going to include you in my thesis... Now, I just need to ask you a few questions: 1) Are you left handed? 2) Are you American, or do you have American 'blood' in you? If you answer 'no' to both of the above, I am seriously going to have to go back to the drawing board with my original hypothesis. Nathan. . Yahoo!

Hey, I did NOT flail my arms and squeal when I saw the clip for Summertime.

Hmm, I really really really love it! But funnily enough, I don't like the version on Under the Pink as much as the live version! Personally, I love the length of it, the 'space-jam' quality, the 'hang ten, hang ten honey, I wanna go where she goes' (and Nathan, if these lyrics are incorrect then you can go bite yourself.) I love the gasping at the end of it, the 'I believe that she's the devil, beeeaatchha!' 'I belieeeve we lost somethang.... I belieevve we know something.... I believe in that girllll... I believe in her goodness..... I know she believes in meeee.... ' Waitress live is great. Oh, hang it, the entire Still Orbiting side of To Venus and Back blows my mind every time!!! And Sugar!! Oh, Sugar!! The wailing at the end! And Bells for Her! And Cruel - the opera in the midst of all the drums .... I cannn be c-r-u-e-l darling, I don't know wwwhhhyyya?
