So Tori is a wolf, and then she's a little girl... I didn't understand the video, but I loved the version.The original is great too,but I like this one better
The original is way better. The feeling of despair and the dark implications are more subtle; the music was made for it. This version is to sentimental.
“I started to really see the influence that [The Stranglers] had on a lot of people. These were two British men, not jock-y kind of guys, not football hooligans. They’re not really like that, and yet they thought that they were sexy songwriters. You know, ‘Girls on the beaches/Looking at the peaches,’ the whole thing. And I think they are, in a way. [laughs] I was just drawn to them because... What a catalog they’ve written.” [Next - September 7, 2001]
I remember I bought the CD back in 2001 without knowing it was a cd of covers.But then I arrived at home, read the booklet and I saw the tittle "Raining Blood" on it.I was like:"did-- she-- cover-- Slayer??"Yes,she did.And I liked it.
@funkylovejunkie, thats my girl :) and @ myopia2020 her agency put her forward for the part and my husband ( Eleanors dad) took her for the audition there was about 50 girls there, and they picked her x
OK. So here she's called bi-racial. Hair and skin are Scottish and beautiful. Eyes and cheekbones are like her grandmother- true "Native" American... and also beautiful. So what? Have u seen the Aucoin shots? How does she feel/identify? What happens to her when she walks down the street? It's up to her. I'd thank her for the music first and then ask... what does it mean to be you? Then I'd thank her for her creativity and guidance. YOU'RE nutty Tori but we love u 'cause ur about freedom! xoxoxo
I don't know who started the rumor that Glory of the 80's is some remake, but it is an original work off of To Venus And Back, NOT off of Strange Little Girls. Do your homework before getting it WRONG. And it is a shame this video is left off of all of her video collections. But that is the ONLY thing I agree with those of you who mistakenly think this is some kind of remake.
I am really mad that this video was not released on her video collection, and even more mad that Glory of the 80s was also left off the DVD video collection!
I just love this song, one of the best covers off of the strange little girls album!
@Rasputina29 Who is paramore? The Stranglers did the original in 1974 and this has a few traits of the original but not so similar not a bd version but not as good, in my opinion..
the Strange little girl of the song is the daughter in the Bonnie and Clyde song who's grown up and dealing with the fact that her mother is dead and that she'd been used to help dispose of the body by her father.
ugh Paramore butchered this song too? Like ruining Failure's Stuck On You wasn't enough. They are totally going through each of my favorite bands and fucking them up for me.
Of course when I was talking about "loving four or five" I meant songs....unfortunately there's a word limit on here....so I would've missed out on putting songs anyway
I don't know "paramore" or whatever but as far as I know the first people who came with this were actually called the Stranglers ...I have heard both and will search paramore's version...I disagree with the haters on this being a sucky cover and saying other horrible things just because they don't like this version....even though I love about , what, four or five...give or take a few...I still consider myself a "huge" fan of tori amos even if I wasn't I would still love this version of the song
@FULLinstrumental go to hereinmyhead(dot)com go to videos, and click on the strange little girls album cover and it gives you the option to download, hope it works
BOYS , BOYS, calm down, the original version was by the starnglers, way way back in the good ole days of PUNK, check out the ORIGINAL stranglers version. I like Tori Amos, and this is a decent version, but the originak is still best, in my mind.
BTW, check our WALK ON BY also by the STRANGLERS (original by Dione Warwick)
Love this....makes me feel like I'm going through mid-life crisis, although that is far behind me. I'm an old man, but can relate to this song in an odd way, knowing I'm still saying to myself, "where are you going?"
One day see a strange little girl feeling blue
