Janeane Garofalo's take on Fiona Apple's rant on the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards show that essentially ruined her (Apple's) career.
This bit is somewhat unusual as it's a complete comedy piece that appears on someone else's comedy album. Garofalo also makes a quick cameo in the Denis Leary cable special that was released along with the album. (Stavro Arrgolus) |

| Song Lyrics: |
| Man, men, I didn't prepare a speech, and I'm sorry, but I'm glad that I didn't. Because I'm not going to do this like everybody else does it. 'Cause everybody that I should be thanking, I'm really sorry, but I have to use this time. See, Maya Angelou said that we, we as human beings at our best can only create opportunities, and I'm gonna use this opportunity the way that I wanna use it. So what I wanna say is, um, everybody out there that's watching, everybody that's watching this world. This world is bulls**t and you shouldn't model your...wait a second, you shouldn't model your life about what you think we think is cool even though I have an eating disorder and I have somehow sold out to the patriarchy in this culture that says that lean is better. Even though I have done that and have done a video wherein I wear underwear so that you young girls out there can covet and feel bad about what you have and how thin you're not. The point is, I have done it. I am lean. That's why I did succeed sooner than maybe other musicians that maybe were better songwriters, I don't know, better lyricists, better vocals, I can't say that, but I do know this. This world is bullsh...did I say this world is bulls**t? 'Cause it is! And my boyfriend can make you disappear...He can pull something out of your ear and say things like, "We have not met before, have we?" .....Go with yourself. (Stavro Arrgolus) |
