Hello everyone--Sorry to bother, but I have one quick question... Are there, or rather Why are there 2 different Cornflake Girl videos??? On my Rock Video Monthly tape, it's got Tori driving this pick-up truck with these girls in the back, and stuff like that... The other one I watched is this strange Alice in Wonderland-esque theme to it... What's up??
