A tone box???

"A tone box? L-like in the movie Barbarella?"
"Yes, it gives me courage, like a veil I can hide behind. It allows me to talk out, around, and through...."

Was it tongue box?? I don't have the lyrics in front of me. Isn't that mentioned in 'Gett Off'? Something about a mirror and a tongue inside?

Yummy! Where do I Gett one?

Well the one in Barbarella was nothing like that. It was this thing she wore on her wrist and when one of the aliens talked into it in a different language it would translate it into English.

OK. OK.

I should have known this... I've seen 'Barbarella' about 50 times.

"Tongue Box" sounds a lot more... um... appealing, anyway...

hey, it really is "tongue box."

(www.dtt-lyrics.com)

Hello?

Vanessa?

I'm not recording this time

So how are U?

How are U?

Fine

Fine

Excuse me, but uh, what's up with your voice?

It's a special phone - a tongue box.

A tongue box?
Oh, like in the movie "Barbarella"?

Yeah, it gives me courage, U know, like a veil I can hide behind
It talks at, around, through her

OK, so why are U giving me an interview?

Because I want U...

Eh, pardon me?

...2 tell the truth

Oh, well I will if U will
4 example, the first song of your opera

Ah, the opera

Why don't U tell me your real name?

My name is Victor

That is not the truth and U know it
How old are U?

I'm into my 5th soul now so that makes me 3 hundred...

Hmph, why do U pretend 2 be a maze?

And 20
I'm amazed at your beauty - I saw U on television

320 - hmm!

Don't sweat it honey, I'm 2 young 4 U
Although rumor has it that the Crown Princess of Cairo is now a member of the NPG
Are U there?

Ahem!

Do U know that the princess is 16 years old?
How 'bout this 4 a scandal: 320 year old robs a cradle?
Hm mm, what a scandal!

Scandal

U know, if U don't give me the real story, I'll have 2 make one up of my own
So why don't U tell me the truth?
The truth {x2}
Why don't U tell me the truth?

Okay, this might sound stupid, but I have to say that I've listened to him say "Scandal" in that intro a hundred times. For some reason, he sounds so sexy when he says that.

"Scandal," said with that little chuckle in his voice, sounding like the cat that ate the canary.

I also loves how Vanessa tries to plow through him when he goes off into his tirade about "being in his fifth soul now". I think she throws him off course for the slightest of seconds, but I'll be danged if he doesn't finish his sentence despite being interrupted, then picks right back up again, and with a line meant to charm the pants off of her, no less. I know Vanessa was played by Kirstie Alley, but if she was a real reporter doing a real interview, that would have SO pissed Vanessa off!

You go Prince!

thumbs up!
