Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Yellow bird flying, gets shot in the wing."

Answer: "Little Earthquakes"

This is actually her second album, "Little Earthquakes", for those of you who don't know. Her first album was "Y Kant Tori Read". It can't be found except for bootlegs, but it is a very valuable CD to add to your collection if you can find it.

2. "I am not your senorita, I am not from your tribe."

Answer: "Raspberry Swirl"

This is from her fifth album, "From the Choirgirl Hotel". This album changed what we knew of Tori as "a girl and her piano" into more of a band than anything.

3. "She's addicted to nicotine patches."

Answer: "Spark"

This is also from "From the Choirgirl Hotel".

4. "My priest says. 'You ain't saving no souls.' My father says. 'You ain't making any money.' My doctor says. ' You just took it to the limit.' And here I stand with this sword in my hand."

Answer: "Take to the Sky"

This is a B-side; you wouldn't find on any of her albums. It is definitely worth a download. You can find this music in the book "Tori Amos - The Bee Sides". A very nice collection for any of you musicians out there.

5. "And if I'm wasting all your time. This time, maybe you never learned to take. And if I'm hanging on to your shade, I guess I'm way beyond the pale."

Answer: "Doughnut Song"

This is from "Boys for Pele", her fourth album. It goes back a bit more to the "girl and her piano", even though she uses a harpsichord in a few songs.

6. "I got a Big Bird on the fishing line With a bit of a shout, a bit of a shout, A bit of an angry snout. He's my favorite hooker of the whole bunch, and I know about his only Bride, and how the Russians die on the ice. I got my rape hat on, honey, but I always could accessorize. And I never cared too much for the money, but I always knew that it's in God's hands, but I don't know who the Fahter is."

Answer: "Talula"

This is also from "Boys for Pele". This is definitely my favorite Tori song. It's great, isn't it? She mentions Fig Newtons in this song- she is always surprising.

7. "Is that what I taste, your supernova juice?"

Answer: "Bliss"

From the album "To Venus and Back". The first album I ever bought, but her sixth album. It also has "Still Orbiting", which is some of her live music.

8. "And I'm so sad, like a good book, I can't put this day back."

Answer: "A Sorta Fairytale"

From her newest album, "Scarlet's Walk". She is on concert during the year 2003 in the U.S. and also in Europe.

9. "Sometimes I breathe you in, and I know you know. And sometimes you take a swim. Found your writing on my wall. If my heart's soaking wet, boy your boots can leave a mess."

Answer: "Hey Jupiter"

From "Boys for Pele", my second-favorite Tori song. Dedicated to Gette. In this video it hints that she tries to commit suicide by burning her apartment.

10. "Boys on my left side, boys on my right side, boys in the middle, and you're not here."

Answer: "Caught A Lite Sneeze"

From "Boys for Pele". This is dedicated to Jamie, "my Ghost Woman". This song is usually overlooked by some of her fans; yet if you look into it, it has great meaning.

11. Now let's get a bit tougher. "Monster man, a willing friend. Lucy serves the melon cold. Violent and delicious souls."

Answer: "Ode To The Banana King"

This is a B-side, but also worth a download. This is part one; there is much debate that "Pretty Good Year" is the sequel to this song.

12. "When you live in the past, you refuse to see when your Daughter comes home 9 months pregnant."

Answer: "Sweet Dreams"

Another B-side. I warned you about them getting tougher.

13. "The sweetest nylon, no, not where she's gone. Gonna raise his tail and wraggle his wings."

Answer: "Till The Chicken"

I actually have a recording of this at the end of "Amazing Grace". Still surprising.

14. "Papa, I'm sure the worms have eaten you now, and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's Plate long ago. Now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word cause you're still here telling me still."

Answer: "Frog On My Toe"

Some of her songs can be pretty funny. This is a bit difficult to find, and I've only heard it twice. But it's definitely worth listening to.

15. And for a very hard one... "I said one thing darling. 'Beautiful men, when you think all the chicks are taken, let me say one thing, you ain't getting my b�se."

Answer: "Pain In My Hole"

This song can only be heard live- that's because that's the only time she sang it. Some guy in the audience yelled for her to sing it; she didn't know it, so she made it up.
