[SheikYerbouti]

You behhhhhhht your life it is.

[ProfYaffle]

LOL

[MrsJamin]

Ah, I was a raisin girl. A complete Torifile, Ears With Feet and all that. "Logged on" to "The Dent" once a day probably. I've still got over 30 singles. I don't think I have her last couple of albums, they all got a bit boring and samey. What is everyone's favourite song? I think mine is Here. In My Head.

[totalmisfit]

but what did it actually mean to be a 'cornfake' or 'raisin' girl????

please people, this has been bugging me for about 15 years now...and at last a thread has come along that could potentially put me out of my misery

[MrsJamin]

From wikipedia:
In the song two factions of women are referred to; the "Raisin Girls" are "multicultural" and open-minded while the "Cornflake Girls" of the title are "narrowminded and full of prejudice".

[totalmisfit]

ah, thanks MrsJamin.

Then i can say for certain that i was, and remain, a Raisin girl.

[ProfYaffle]

I didn't realise it had an actual meaning , just thought she was making a point about being different. I'm deflecting to the raisins (even though they taste horrid)

[Tortington]

i dont know what a raisen girl is

i think this is becuse i am old

[totalmisfit]

i wonder if chocolate covered raisins count? they're even rarer than the plain variety and they taste much better

[southeastastra]

is that what tori amos thinks cornflake eaters are? cow

[missorinoco]

raisin girl. who now fancies some chocolate covered cornflake cake. mmm.

[anorak]

It's bloody daft, whatever way you look at it. Why cornflakes and raisins - I think Tori Amos is a froot loop girl.

[MKG]

I'm a raisen girl.

My favorite Tori song is "Mother"

If you haven't seen her live go, she's awesome!

[MKG]

raisin

[frankiesbestfriend]

Crucify is my favourite.

Not thought of her for years, might dig it out and have a listen now.

Raisin btw ( I hope)

[itsMYmummy]

RRRRRRRROBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIN where'dyo put the keys girl?

[theSuburbanDryad]

The lyric is "Rabbit, where'd you put the keys girl..."

I was a raisin girl trying very hard to be a cornflake girl before giving up and embracing my inner raisin-ness

[theSuburbanDryad]

should've been a in the last post

[theSuburbanDryad]

and I have a sneaking soft spot for Sort Of Fairytale from Scarlet's Walk, even though it is a bit bland.

I think my favourite Tori song would have to be...

Ooh this is hard, there's so many!

Hey Jupiter

or maybe

Spark: "She's convinced she could hold back an iceberg/but she couldn't keep baby alive..." listened to that obsessively when i had my mc.
