Under the Pink is the second solo album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos. After its release in January 1994, the album reached # 12 in the US, while in the UK it debuted at # 1, its most successful UK debut to date. The album had sold around 220,000 copies in the UK by the end of 1994, ending the year at # 61 of the UK's best-selling albums. A special two-disc edition was released exclusively in Australia and New Zealand, entitled More Pink: The B-Sides. In general this album represents a sound based on more "acoustic piano", and most of the tracks on the album are dedicated to a classic set of piano music inspiration. The album was included in Blender magazine's "500 CDs you must own" list. The album was voted among the best albums of the 1990s by Rolling Stone magazine. Amos performed the Under the Pink tour from February to November 1994, covering many of the same stops as on his previous tour. The limited edition of the album commemorating the tour in Australia included a second disc entitled More Pink, a collection of rare B-sides, like "Little Drummer Boy" and a cover version of "A Case of You" (Joni Mitchell), was issued in November 1994. During this period, she also contributed the song "Butterfly" to the soundtrack to the movie Higher Learning, as well as a cover of the song "Losing My Religion" (REM).

I was moved to tears when I heard this song at the end of the episode of Yellowjackets. Not only because of the appropriateness of using it in a series that recreates the 90s, but also because of what Tori says in the song. In some African tribes, girls have their clitoris removed in an initiation ritual, and whoever assists and helps hold the girl in that ritual is always a childhood friend, who is called "cornflake girl." A kind of betrayal between girls, which I felt was in line with what we see in Yellowjackets, showing the complexity of friendships between women. Sometimes the worst enemy of a woman... is another woman.

Strange isn’t it, even most of the songs I didnt like at the time I could listen to with pleasure now and glad that at least I had the 90s, kids of today will never know and makes me sad for them at times.

This original, now known as the UK version, of Cornflake Girl's official music video is better than the USA version, but I understand why she made a different one for them. This is very European. At least parts of it was used for Professional Widow, though it's a travesty she didn't record an original video for that, in a strange turn of prudishness during a time she was very forward thinking.

Without getting into which is *better* , in the case of "Cornflake Girl" my guess is that the record company (and likely Amos herself) felt the song had the potential to be a breakthrough hit for her in the very big US market, so the decision was made to play it very safe and make a video that would appeal broadly to a big target demographic, young white US women. Hence the relatable girl gang and the contemporary-country theme. (Though they are both justified by the song itself, while the cute cowboy might be more of a stretch.) Compare it to the widely-mocked video for Nirvana's "Nevermind" kzbin.info/www/bejne/noW6fJWcpM6em8k from just a few years earlier. Another less-than-subtle demo ploy, basically pitching the band to a potential audience, as the video for a likely breakthrough single: it's just that the demographic happens to be a bit different in that case. Meanwhile the UK would have looked like a much safer place to release an 'arty' video: partly because Amos was already more successful out there and so already had an audience who would be willing to run with it, partly because the UK wasn't as big and crucial a market as the US.
