I thought that Kate was so devoid of inspiration, that she had nothing more interesting than her domestic chores to write about. I honestly thought that. Actually, I thought that maybe she was being a bit ironic, singing such a dramatic song about household chores, which are the most boring thing you can think of. I think the guys who have said it's about losing a partner are right. I had a similar thing, when I lost my Dad, and I went into this kind of trance and went round the house polishing and tidying everything. However, I don't want to listen to this. I thought music was supposed to be enjoyable. My fascination with Kate ended with the Red Shoes, because I think she'd lost her talent then, with clumsy lyrics and phrasing and lack of good tunes. For me, Aerial was the epitome of bad. I thought it was really sad that Kate was still making records. OK, I admit, I missed the point of this song, but then I must've missed the point of her last few albums. Maybe I'm not smart enough, but it's all lost on me I'm afraid. At least the B-52's still rock.
