Cover art for Ladyfingers lyrics by Luscious Jackson

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.
