I'm still watching this about 10 times a day!! It's been weeks now, I musta watched it a thousand times. It's the weirdest version of talula ever, but it's awesome at the same time. talooo looooo Lyaahaaaaaaa

[@pauldavis6880]

I'm doing it too!!! 🤣

[@ShyerLady]

Ive watched this over and over. I love this version.

[@executivebexley252]

Sorry this is 4 years late, but it's my favourite at the moment. I love the Casio keyboard kinda smoke filled bar-room vibe if you know what no mean. 😍😍

[@crystallinemister]

@@executivebexley252 Why do you guys always say Casio? That's a serious professional instrument she's playing.

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

One of my favourite songs of Tori EVER! GODDESS!

[@lalobo6615]

I understand both parties. I understand that is hard for the good "academic" Tori Amos fans. For me it is wonderful. It is one of the few moments in her career where she allowed herself to do something light, easy and maybe even funny with her work. That for me makes it outstanding, and (how strange) brings tears in my eyes. Because it is such a relief. I looove (!!) the original Talula (the whole Pele actually), but I see this more like the wise women taking up an old photograph and immediately understanding it - likely better than at the time it was shot, but smiling at it with so much love for this part of her life (like a mother). And no, she still values this song indeed.

1:26 I love that part, she can feel that happiness...

[@davidanderson8704]

why is everyone so darn precious? - these are her songs - let her have some fun with them - if you dont't like it - stick to the album, you wet blankets!

[@schroeder666]

It's very interesting to me that some comments about not liking it are down at the very bottom, despite having more upvotes than your positive comment. I wonder what kind of manipulation is involved in that. I'm guessing there is a sorting mechanism which notices they include the words "wretched" and "awful" and is sort of hiding them as a result.

[@davidanderson8704]

@@schroeder666 oh yeah the q anons are now seeing conspiracies in Tori Amos videos, glad we're all spending out time wisely.

Classic tori :) amazing as always :)

[@gdouglas1663]

I really really love this version!

[@askleelee]

Love it. It's nice to see her changing it up. Would love to see her in concert. I wish I had half of the talent.

[@roxannerieske7701]

Ahhhh I love this! It's so fun!

I will always love you.

[@BobSmith-dt3io]

just... just... ok, give me a second here... just... just... LOVE X 4.

[@BobSmith-dt3io]

My ears came within 10 seconds....They blew their wad before the 30 second mark.... Damn, I need a towel and a cigarette and she hasn't even started singing yet. Sorry, but it's true. Thank you soon much for sharing this... And Thanks to Tori for doing what she does best!!!

[@s.4990]

I'm very satisfied that even Tori can't get anything decent out of those damn keyboard synths

[@princesadebelhell]

You really don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@BacCanale]

Hey wait! I own a Yamaha S90 ES! I can reproduce this rendition at home!!! (No Böse though...)

[@discgolfer517]

Tori is a goddess, this is below her

[@Terppa777]

+Nate Upton ...and a goddess should never try anything new, just endlessly keep on repeating the same old stuff, right? I'm seeing a goddess reinventing - and enjoying - herself here.

[@toribjork10]

Nah, she can try new stuff, but that doesn't mean it'll always be successful. This song is a perfect example of that.

[@joan-lisa-smith]

For people, like she and myself, from the analogue synth era this old school Casio sound sounds great and brings up lots of memories of that time. I think it's a generational thing. I absolutely love this. Below her not!

[@FCignelli]

@@toribjork10 Great artists experiment with sounds and sometimes they like to call back to another era of synth music. Not everyone's gonna get it.

[@executivebexley252]

Class!!! Still got it goin on!

[@latnboii]

YesSaid because yktr so ask MikeWhy

[@toribjork10]

This is pretty awful. I love talula, but that Casio keyboard backing track and her scratchy ass vocals really ruined it for me. A lot her songs she's ereworked on this tour have been hit or miss. Riot poof and iieee were amazing, but this one is a no for me.

[@executivebexley252]

It's awesome!! Like some weird Casio keyboard working men's club version haha I like it

[@robertschrader]

This is wretched.

[@grahamjamesion5655]

Yeah I'm not enjoying this.

[@melissadenby2357]

It's good she has so many different versions so we can all have another option.. I like this, but it is not my favorite, probably.. It's pretty 'rockin'' at 3:57!
