oh my lord. amazing!
"It's actually really sad [laughs] and it's not ... it ended up being one of the least poppy songs on the record. But it was more of a learning process song for us I think. I think it's really successful as a song but it doesn't really have a traditional chorus ... it's a thinly veiled attempt to deal with somebody who was abusive in my life. You know when you have a thing of like, somebody is really fucked up to you, and you don't really want to be in a room with them, but you have all these things to say to them? Maybe it's not safe for you to be in a room with them, but you have all of these feelings. It's like, I kind of said it in the song, instead of actually having to talk to the person, because that actually wouldn't be healthy for me to talk to the person. I think a lot of women are in that position. In the '80s there was this whole thing about confront your abuser or whatever, and that's just not always possible or healthy. I really like the idea that there's a million different ways that you can deal with things. One of them is humor, which I usually gravitate towards. But it's also kind of good to sing a sweet sounding "Fuck You" song." - Kathleen Hanna |
