Here's the scoop on this. It was performed during a radio interview. But it's not really a cover. She totally improvised the lyrics and melody and it has no resemblance to the original besides having the same name. She did it as kind of a joke with the host because he didn't think she could cover it. If this is the only track on the cd you want then don't get the cd. I'm sure someone would be glad to tape it for you since the radio show was traded alot and the named track has been on a few compilation tapes.

Subject: whoomp there it is okay. this is not completely true. i happen to have it on a bootleg form a show in CO, on the dew drop inn tour. now, the sound quality is quationable, (erm, questionable) but it really is a cute cover. might not be worth the $50. jordan ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Dec 1997 02:10:26 -0500 From: "Michael L.

I think that each is great in its own way. YKTR shows how she began and for me is really good. It represents a period in her life trying to find a way to please both others and yourself and trying to find the balance. I don't hink what people have aid about her compromising her music is true. It may not have been exactly what she wanted, but we ALL go through phases like that and to see her go through can help us go through it faster. LE which was the first album of hers that i heard, is in my opninion, incredible. She cuts straight to the bone with her lyrics. She bares her sole. This can show us that we need to bare our soles. UtP (I think my favorite) is much like a contiuation of LE to me. She shows us her sole, with less bite, but she shows us it nonetheless. BfP, my least favorite, (please don't flame me for this, I still love and all her work) seems a little too heavy on the metaphor for me. yes musically it is the most complex and is veyr beautiful, but he lyrics leave something to be desireed. They don't leave you with your heart pounding and tears streaming down your face like LE and UtP do. Being a theatre person, I can apreciate subty and metaphor, however, BfPseems to rely too heavily on it. I realize that for Tori it might make sense, but for us, it is hard to understand some of the lyrics. This does not lessen my love for her and i am still able to understand her songs, it just seems that in some of them she throws in nonsense stuff.

Get up a track listing and see if anyone's interested. As lots of folks have said, this really isn't a cover of 'Whoomp There It IS", the only thing that Tori's version and the original Tag Team song have ni common are the title. If you're interested in this song, it's on the tape compiled by the RDT mailing list called "Under the Covers I" that was put together a few years ago. Lots of people here, including myslef, will make a copy of this just for the cost of the tape and shipping. However, I do have to say that I find it distasteful to suggest that someone -sell- cassette copies of a bootleg. As I said above, I {and lots of other people} will make copies of something just for the cost of the tape and shipping. I try not to make a profit off of the tapes I spin, and in fact, any profits that I do make get sent to RAINN. I shouldn't profit from Tori's music, I didn't have a damn thing to do with her producing it, it's her work. {Oh, wow, where did this soapbox come from? ;) } /nad *************************************************************************** * Nadyne Mielke, CS majour, Southern Tech, Marietta, GA * * * * "I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of * * oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate * * commerce.
