ok, so from what i can remember of a 2007 show at Cleveland's Grog Shop, Shara told an old French story about a little boy that imagined a teapot turning into a man that would torment the boy and say "i punch your nose!" and make this humorous punching gesture (if you can imagine doing the I'm a little teapot stance, with one arm at the hip in a triangle and the other is your spout. the spout does the face clobbering).
close. it's actually based on an opera by maurice ravel wherein a small child has been causing mischief, and the furniture and objects the child was vandalizing come to life for a bit of payback. in this song, "the teapot is a mixture of a frenchman and an american boxer, so he's speaking half in french and half in english and chasing the kid around trying to punch his nose." (quote from shara worden about the song)

another quote from her kind of sums up what i like about the song. "it's a little bit scary, but also kind of funny." the song is so delightfully sinister sounding for something with as ludicrous a topic as an animated teapot.
