Honeybear

I totally agree with surreal alchemy, and in fact Karen admitted in an article saying that she wanted to "crash" these "exclusive" A list parties she is tired of putting up with the phoniness. She's bending herself backwards to get acceptance in the LA indie music scene but feels so left out and excluded. She then decides to say hell with these ego maniacs and decides to steal the honey like the bears do. Like a bear, she's constantly scared and want to "runaway" from the bees but then she said "you want it", so the bear decides to get that honey anyways even if it stings. So she is putting her middle finger up to the indie rock scene who wouldn't give her the time of day and look where she's now! That is also when she dressed up like a bear costume....so cute, don't change Karen O!

The song is a reaction to rejection...Karen is not sitting back and pouting she is taking action and crashing a party!

I read in an article that when Karen moved to LA she would get rejected from getting into certain VIP parties. So she would naturally be the outsider, just treated like a piece of "cold meat" because her "status" is not as high in their eyes. Ridiculous fools..

Karen wants to crash these parties, steal the precious honey.

These lyrics are wrong.

I love this! I might have read somewhere the first two lines are about not being able to get into some celebrity's oarty or something..

I think this is probably the best song on their new album........ I looooooooovee it. Heh, it's so catchy.

huh... I must be deaf. I thought it was "in these towns" instead of "in bad tones", even though we've all mostly agreed that it's town's instead of tones. But anyways... it should be against the law for a song to be this catchy, man!! I can't NOT get up and dance when I hear it. It drives me mad but I love it!!

i think its towns too. but i'm not sure what this song means. "runaway you want it" sounds like someones denying what they really want from you.. like "running from exactly what they want" i guess?

well yes, I am going to join the list of people who think the song really says towns. wen I listen i think it might say "good, good things hppen in that town" But thats just me. thats what it sounds like to me.

Great song!Really catchy!

to me, this song is about someone not having time for you anymore; that to them, you're cold meat. you'd like to think that they are still interested in you, but you end up getting so desperate for them to show that interest again that you'll do anything for attention - any way they want it. then, all the bear has to do is click its fingers and you're there; but you're still all alone because they don't truly care. it's my best guess, at any rate, but probably not quite right!

possibly my favorite song on the cd! i LOVE it! ive listened to it over and over for a while now-blasting it on my way home is always fun. but it says "towns" not "tones"
