I love that the BB writers were gathered around the table like, “Which musician should we parody?” and one of them was like, “TORI AMOS. ‘ICICLE.’ JAY LENO. 1994.”

[@mistergrieves]

[@lesterine77]

I don't care about bobs burgers or whatever. But if you ever watch Tori, she always sings into the mic like that. I've seen her nose and chin get lip gloss on it. Even before this cd and song was created. I love Tori. She's amazing. Way better than the junk passing as music today. Don't quit Tori! The world needs you.

This song is not only about her playing her "six string" It's about doing it with a bible as a teenager in the apartment above the church where her father was a Methodist minister giving a sermon. But it's pretty subtle...
