Mr. Zebra Lyrics

I found this quote from Tori, but for the life of me, I can't find the source to credit it.

"I refer to a 'Mrs. Crocodile' in that song. Sometimes I disguise the people I'm writing about with made-up characters, because they don't even know they're in the songs. And that's how it has to stay. So instead of calling them by their real name, because they have these certain [negative] traits. I'll call them something else, like a 'Mrs. Crocodile.'"

If that's not a reference to Courtney Love, then I don't know what is.
