| Regina Spektor – One More Time with Feeling Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I'm not a "Buffy" fan, but is there any reference to this show in this song? I was looking at some of Jenny Owen Youngs' music, and the title of one of her EPs and an episode of "Buffy" is called "One More Time With Feeling." I know Jenny and Regina are good friends. I don't watch Buffy, but could there be a connection? | |
| Regina Spektor – Ballad of a Politician Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is my opinion, and I mean no offense: I believe this song may be a reference to how Sarah Palin was chosen and used in the last presidential campaign. She came out of nowhere, chosen by a man inside a room shaking hands with other men. This is how the most important decisions are made: old white men shaking hands. Among other reasons (I guess), Palin was chosen because she is a good-looking woman. More than anything else, he addition to the campaign was to shake her ass out in the street in hopes it would help the overall political race. There is no doubt that Palin loves her country, and said as much many times. Lots of people say during campaigns, making the words almost meaningless. The public is drowned in a deluge of opinions and facts thanks to the media, making it easy for us to forget who and why we are. Then comes, perhaps, the opinion that fame is fleeting (signing people's boobs to sell books? anyone?) What makes me think the above is a post on Regina's Myspace around election time last year. |

| She recorded this version with Joshua Bell for his album "At Home with Friends." I think they just wanted a shorter title? | |
