Ladyfingers

I can't believe there's only one comment on this song. really?? wipes eyes looks again

anyway I think a woman reassuring to her guy (orrrr girl) that she really is a stand-up human being.

I really think this song is about someone telling someone that they are there for them. It's like she was too busy for them, or at least the person they cared about thought that, and she's saying 'hey, i'm here for you and I always was'.

I’ve loved this song since it came out but I can now define the meaning two decades later. My wife of nearly 35 years works at a hospital north of Atlanta GA USA overrun with Covid, over half the patients they are now… She is there today on a Sunday since 4am on a 12 hour shift today like she has been since the start of the pandemic and I think this song is about women - and there are so many of them - just like her that really hold the world together. She is a just over 5 ft tall fucking badass warrior, not afraid of anything, or anyone, at least on the outside. Inside what’s really behind it is heart. That’s what this song is about, at least it is to me now.

After 20 or so years of piling on booze, pot an hallucinogens I think I remember that the song was about a prominent or underdog boxer nicknamed Ladyfingers.

Either that or some baseball or Ice hockey player or some shite.

Follow on brain cell melt down from previous post the band name Luscious Jackson if I remember correctly is about a boxer whatever surname Jackson and the song is about the same guy.

Could be wrong, usually am.
