eek I love it! dancing jig

I'm really liking the song too. I've been on the fence about her new release. I was initially excited but now some of the reviews I've read have squashed my excpectations a bit...but I'm sure I'll still buy it.

This video is quirky as hell though. still love her.

OMG, I totally missed the 'MILF' verse when I heard the song the first time. lol

The video is hot! Definitely more unconventional than the last few videos that she's done--I'm guessing that's a reflection of the music on the new album in general.

Ok.....am I the only person who doesn't really care for the song? The MILF part especially.....I really hate it. lol I could deal with the rest of the song, but when she comes in with that part, starting with the "Gimme 8" part.....it just turns me off to the whole entire song.

I think it's hilarious... her best video since the Choirgirl era.

Is this good or bad?

Honestly, I just heard this album for the first time this week (yeah, I know--I was holding out until I could find an official version, but that looks like a pipe dream now) and I got the same impression, only the new song is like a much improved version.

Holy smokes, I just heard a few tracks, and for the first time ever, I might be picking up a Tori album. eek

Didn't know you were a fan. I think you'll love this. It's hard not to.

kinda both. The costume thing irritates me....maybe I'll get used to it. The only persona I like is the one with the bible, which I think kicks ass. The others I don't understand...I suppose there's some background to it that I need to study up on, but on their own, I just don't get it and it all feels false.

Hehehe, I have been listening to the song, without the images attached and it works better for me.
I kinda like the country twang, happy go lucky sound of the song. I am still digging into the lyrics, but the overall song is okay. Not really Tori, I suppose, but I think that is what's it all about; Tori not longer wanting to be Tori.

But you shouldn't have to force yourself to like something. I don't feel guilty as a fan for not being in love with "Big Wheel". lol

I feel guilty. redface

I miss the days when I was all innocent and had no preconceptions and everything she did was like a whole new discovery and it didn't matter because it was all so interesting and fantastic.

Now I'm jaded. neutral
