Bug a Martini by Tori Amos

Wow! This song is featured as one of five bonus tracks from the cd accompanied by the Welcome To Sunny Florida dvd entitled Scarlet's Hidden Treasures.



All I want to know is why she didnt include this on Scarlet's Walk. It sounds like nothing that shes ever done before. It has a Cuban/island vibe to it and her smooth vocals drip off of the groove like amber sap from an evergreen.

Here are the lyrics:

Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Lounge and return
Echo can't hear you
And as you wander
Through perfume
And pathways

Your version coercion
My version elixir of quietude
Line up the dots
Music to spy to
Music to die to

Spanking your lime
Over the crushed ice
Using the triad
To counter measure
You can't see my face
Dead letter box please

Your version coercion
My version elixir of quietude
Line up the dots
Music to spy to
Music to die to

Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Bug a Martini
Send me to Moscow
Send me to Moscow

yeah, it's a cool song. nice experimentation for her.

reminds me of a bond song. perhaps it's just the way
she mentions the Martini.

Listening to it now!

Hehhee...

Maybe she should do a big band Bond tune. Anything better than that lame-ass Madonna track.

great song, i really think it fits better on TBK though than it would on SW. Has that BK vibe to it.

Agreed.

And Tombigbee is even cooler. I wish she has included "Mountain" on Scarlet's Hidden Treasures as well.

What reasoning did you have calling it the beekeeper the first time?

because they were mostly b-sides, or 'bees'

and then fcuz, for a whole set of bees, you

can only come up with a limited number of

names containing the word "bee"
