Amos, Tori - Raspberry Swirl Lyrics

Every song is about oral sex, including this one.

"I am not your senorita, I am not from your tribe" this sentance and this song got me into Tori Amos forever

I looooooove this!!!

gotta go check my peep on facebook.....suicide runs high with all my friends

or dream about me....u r loved

message me on my channel

ME and your daughter will DANCEeeeeeee till the end....I ppromise.....i think your dreams are coming to fruition

Tori, thank you for your music... I am listening since I am 16... that is long ago... I am nearly 40..you did much to me....

Trent. Do something.

I am here because of Busy Phillips and very very grateful to her xx

wow what an AMAZING ARTIST! <3 Don't you swallow the red beer if she is saying she put some beets in it for extra flavor lmao (ancient St. Patty's joke?) vs abusive men

I think the dancers are dead persons, they are white, too the man is the something that makes to Tori couldn't have a child and the boy the child she would like to have...

Crawling out of that painting, hmm...

0:26 I am not tú señorita...

massive 90s dance anthem, you never got that with Kate Bush... Tori was far more interesting and varied.

I love the 90's tint on this vid. Mixed with a bit of Alice in Wonderland. I wished I was there in that club just jamming away as well. Also, I'm still trying to figure out who the older man represents. I guess When all the boys can't be men
Can't be men. <- Age doesn't matter?

I think it's about men insecurities

What about Trent Reznor and the pigs? Do they have something in common? a secret between lines and the pigs?

I know it hasn't even been 2 years since Native Invader but I'm ready to see what she is going to do next!!!!!

So freaky! Love it

Was this video Directed by Trent Reznor? Because that is the first thing that came to my mind when I started watching this.

oh, well... I often dance like that when I'm alone in an elevator

1:11 I love his dance it's so random

Slenderman

I wanna be her friend

If Michel Gondry and David Lynch met to do a late 90s music video with Tori Amos, this would be it.

I love that guy. He's like WTF ?

I feel like a filthy slut listening to this song and I love it

omg you're here

omg marona what are you doing here gurl

Crazy how she was able to pick up social problems well before everyone realized they were problems and they're only just now figuring it out...

@Tasha Schneider you still at it? 😂

@TheMoonPrincess2 Nice pedo symbol, "MoonPrincess". Child abuse is a huge part of witchcraft, which is why piggy Tori participates in it.

@Tasha Schneider What are you smoking?

@Tasha Schneider Go home, Tasha. You're drunk.

@Mat Dennings I don't drink.

So, are your fingers long or short ? I never looked at them like a les.

So, you had sex with a girl like she was a man. And I alwsys thought you needed to loosen up.

Amos explained in a 1998 interview with Alternative Press that “raspberry swirl” is a euphemism for cunnilingus:

The animus in me is Raspberry Swirl. I’m in love with my women friends, but I just don’t eat pussy. But I’m in love with them. If I had a different sensibility, then you know I think I could, you know, really fulfill someone down there, where a lot of men in their lives don’t. And eating pussy is a metaphor, too…it’s about crawling in there, being with their juices, really being with them.

Thus, in these lines, Amos is telling men that if they want to have successful relationships with women, they not only need to be willing to satisfy them sexually, but to connect with them on a deeper level.

From The Choirgirl Hotel still my fave Tori album to this day. A genuine musician with intelligence. Much love & respect.

Pendant

redhaid to another love

The inside of my brain looks like this!

2:49 Dat piano tho.

*2:57** and **3:17** - fugly foely doppelganger.*

Seriously, what are you smoking?

*you can't handle the truth, little demon.*

@wrath of the lamb Get out emo

@wrath of the lamb Where's this "truth" you speak of?

Это гениально!!!

There's a strange man in my social Tori. Is nothing sacred ?

She mentioned at a concert this was for a close friend...and hinted at a sexual relationship...who may have been in what sounded like an abusive relationship. And her message to this man was that she (Tori) would kick his ass.

@wrath of the lamb I go to Church ever week I'm a born and raised Christian.

@wrath of the lamb By the way bitch my mother works for the police department and is friends with a few cops who will *RIGHTFULLY* come to your fuckin' door and arrest you for cyber bullying a kid with a kidney disease, fuck off.

@wrath of the lamb "IIIIIIEEEEEEE" is all about "death and sacrifice" she says. Also in this video she is ABUSING CHILDREN by mocking their innocence and laughing at them.

@Tasha Schneider Fuck off this isn't your fight, you and I have our own somewhere else.

@Tasha Schneider Btw Little Miss Know it All they're just in the video so what, she's laughing with them not at them get your act and your facts together.

great song,

Don't know how to feel about a bunch of clone kids pigging out at a dinner table set to a song about eating out your best friend but I guess that's what art is for. XD

@Tasha Schneider Are you still on your crusade, Tasha ? I must admit that it has been so long since I've seen you, that I thought you may have had your account suspended for all of your hatred that you spew, or that you were so tormented, that you had done something drastic.
In any case, I want to thank you again for pointing this spectacular video to me. It has become one of my alltime favorites. You are such a dear !

@Derek McEwen Listening to Handel, Tori
Amos' polar opposite. A true musical genius who played three instruments, and used his monetary gain to fund a children's hospital!!!! Unlike Tori the Harpsichord Butcher who can't figure out any instrument besides a keyboard, and who ABUSED CHILDREN IN THIS VIDEO!

@Tasha Schneider Tasha, you must be tired. Usually you go on a real tirade. Are you okay ? Are you ill ? I hope you are okay.

@Derek McEwen Listen to Handel's "Nightingale and Cuckoo" - actual music that shows what a keyboard can really do. Stop listening to child abusers and musical hacks of the Tori Amos variety.

@Tasha Schneider Still at it?

I swear I saw some crazy people and some hookers walking around scott free at the hospital last night. They made me hand over my weapons Tori.

? A different song ?

In my heart I did no crime

Got the tramp stamp of it!

best video EVER! WHEN WILL YOUR FAVES

Who dat man ???

It's a weird video, but I'll bet those kids had no idea what they were filming. I looked to see if there was anything sexual with them, and there wasn't. So they were just doing a job, and btw, their very liberated and liberal parents allowed them to do the video. I don't find the lyrics disgusting at all. I knew right away what it was about. I'm 63 and just discovering Tori. Amazing talent.

*the majority of the fang-faced harlot's idol worshipers are ignorant of how blatantly pure evil she is.*

@wrath of the lamb If you're going to hate on someone, get your facts straight beforehand.

@wrath of the lamb If you hate her so much then why are you here go away

*En mi opinión, Tori con este tema en conjunción con el video se fue bien al mas oscuro de los 1.000 carajo!!!*

Es eso bueno o malo?

the way she says "Let's go" feels like I'm gliding on the smoothest surface somewhere in the sky , every time.

Haris Sehic What gibberish.

Very overrated singer.

On the contrary.

A godess

*got what backwards? I know her better than you do.*

@wrath of the lamb What are you her shitty cousin

@wrath of the lamb Because you're her trashy little cousin with hep c?

*keep fantasizing, ignoramus. I'm in no way related to the satanic luciferian harlot THIEF. she stole, I remember it well. And so does monstrous vile she.*

@wrath of the lamb Go home, you're drunk.

🎶Things are gettin de-desperate🎶

ohhh yesss♨️♨️

They found out who put the paint on Brandon's locker and jeep !

extraklasse !!!!

I hate how underrated this song and tori amos are

@BookOwl Because she is laughing at little children, and singing about oral sex in front of them. This is not a "critique" of society, that is abuse of children.

@Tasha Schneider You need to take a seat, Tasha.

@Tasha Schneider It's okay to be a fan, sis.

underrated -- Ahahahahahahahaha -- because it is not real music -- it is satanic jungle sounds from the rabbit hole -- and only a few of us know of it -- how it got published in the first place -- is the question yu should be CONTEMPLATING ! ! ! ? ! ----- demonic intervention is how - hahahahehehehehaha@bxjoi60yubtkb0dhjsbn348389dhchahahaehehehehahahahaa -- it'nt SHE GRAND ? ! -- hahahehehehcb vklty05684bhcnmgog67drt3v @enchehehahahaha - ya should see her in concert with too many balloons in yo head ! ? ! ? ! ! ! PROCESS DAT 1 ! ! ? ! ! ? ! and it only cost her her BOWL ! ! ! a hahahewhehehwhahaha !

@sam.smith Ok Mister attention why don't you get the fuck out of here, go back to school, and learn how to write. Fuck off

I love everything Tori does... but I still have no idea what her music videos are supposed to be

*rape, smut, vulgarity, evil. She's got her place in rev 18:2 where she belongs.*

@wrath of the lamb And you belong in a classroom.

o rodopio da amadinha :)

Does Tori Amos EVER get tired of being a terrible person?

@Weirdman Hippie ?????????????????

@Tasha Schneider You just sound like those hippie millennials who try to get attention.

Do you EVER get tired of typing negative Tori Amos hating posts??

@Stevo McSteve Child abusing misandrists deserve all of the negative posts they get.

@Tasha Schneider You're clearly jealous.

everybody knows im her friend everybody knows im her man RAsbeRry sWirl

If David Lynch directed a Tori Amos video.

my exact thoughts. but throw
 in a little Michel Gondry in there too and this is the result.

There is a HEAVY Nine Inch Nails influence here. Not only are the colors of the video similar to "Closer" but the skeleton at the 0:15 mark was also in Closer. There are a few other NIN references in there if you watch closely.

Tori did date Trent Reznor for awhile so makes sense.

You try to listen to this in Loud speakers ;-) Mad and trancelike

I'm pretty sure this is about her clitoris.

this is literally about men being too immature so wome start to fuck eachother

Yes, it's 2017 and it's acceptable for slutty women to be slutty (and exploit children). That still doesn't make it right. Delicious irony: my dear friend Zach self-identifies as a feminist. I don't associate with any "bitter guys". Even after being taken advantage of by women, they tend to have a positive view of women and NEVER act like diva bitch Tori Amos.

Tasha Schneider pfft feminism isn't about wheater or not some women have been nasty, it's about societal power structutes. speaking of, stop using that word for christ sake .

Feminism is about women liberating themselves from their responsibilities, and then demanding that the rest of society like and accept it. People like my friend Zach think it is simply caring about women's welfare, but feminists aren't concerned with anyone's welfare, as they prove over and over again by their actions, and their championing of disgusting music videos like this one.

Tasha Schneider oh my god you're a complete tool but i hope you have a nice day

"Allen Ginsberg Effect" in full force!

What's with James Woods' evil twin brother? He's all set up to be the creepy lecher, but then he just sits around looking depressed. I wanted more skin-crawling leers from him, consarn it!

+Duragizer If you want more skin-crawling leers, there's always James Woods himself.
[crickets]
I'll show myself out.

simply the best, better than all the rest.....!!!!!

tori is so gothic as a level i never thought..

listen to tori's commentary on this video on fade to red. It's about e culture and excess. this is 1998 and if anyone has met her you know what a great generous woman she is.

I'm guessing Tasha Schneider isn't a fan. Ha! Ha! Ha! \m/ (:o)

klistarf wouldn't know BC she's on almost every video of toris spewing the same crap.

this Tasha Schneider wins the kunt of the year award.

Well. I do have to say using children in a video about cunnilingus is off, whether you like an artist or not. To be fair to Tori's songwriting; most people haven't a clue what her songs even mean half the time but I do not like the use of children eating in a video about such a sexual matter. I haven't heard Tori explain the video or the song herself, only gone by what people online have said. But yeah, it's not very cool to me. It's horrible. Coming from a victim of rape too. Leave kids innocence out of adult matters. Ahh. To think this is the same 1990s which poked fun at Michael Jackson for singing Heal the World during the rise of Grunge. Seems it does need healing after all.

@Tasha Schneider You really sound you do not have any idea what you are talking about and should probably have a goddamn seat. Would you like some help with that?

Somebody needs to say that this video is a disgusting display of child exploitation. Tori Amos is a feminist female supremacist pig, so she couldn't care less about children being exploited. Of course, Tori is always ready to come with the hate songs about other people, but she's completely blind to what a first-class JERK she is. No amount of pretty piano playing can make up for being a child exploiting, female supremacist jerk.

@Tasha Schneider If you hate her so much then why are you here what's your point.

@Weirdman She doesn't get to abuse children and have there be no outcry from anyone. She has personally hurt so many young people, damaging their spiritual lives with her hateful and vindictive "music".

@Tasha Schneider It's music so what Courtney Love's a bigger bitch then she'll ever be Tori has gone through rape, miscarriage, horrible relationships, and lots of other thing you wouldn't understand because you're too dumb to even get a clue about anything

@Tasha Schneider You want a fight you want attention well that's what's happening

@Weirdman "Tori has been through..." You can literally use this excuse for anyone. Tori has exposed innocent children to vulgar sexual content in her song/video, which is ABUSE. She is a VICTIMIZER. Horrible relationships? You mean like her cheating/dumping her boyfriend for the deranged satanist Trent Reznor? How do you think that guy felt? You don't know a damn thing about Tori the Harpsichord Butcher.

Delirium, Death, Sandman.

I'm trying to make the perfect man. Mine has total recall.

I like the movie, " Soldier ", by Kurt Russel but you weren't in that one. Keep watching kiddo.

She's metal without even playing metal

tobin jordan I love the way u put that

I've noticed that both people actually in the metal industry and metal heads alike love her... and they should!

@melancholy - I love thrash metal and symphonic metal an new heavy metal but I also love Tori Amos

@Gary jones you make it sounds as if it's unusual, but it's perfectly acceptable to like many different styles of music, great music is great music

@MephProduction not unusual just saying what I normally like and also tori amos and R n B

yea I know 137 lbs is not fat, but I recently weighed 82 lbs

Alright, that's enough. "I think he's had enough man, I think he's had enough."

I'm glad I'm not one of those vegetarians with no lives like Ace Ventura pet detective who sits around wishing some hollywood star would come into my room and romance me. Goodbye jealous much.

"The animus in me is raspberry swirl, I'm in love with my women friends, but I just don't eat pussy. But I'm in love with them. If I had a different sensibility, then you know I think I could, you know, really fulfill someone down there, where a lot of men in their lives don't. And eating pussy is a metaphor, too - it's about crawling in there, being with their juices, really being with them."

She looks like the predator. I like raspberry swirl tofuti too but summer's coming.

"I was going to have a baby, now I'm not going to have a baby." I'll never forget. Some things are worth fighting for.

he's like a skarey uncle

Tori Amos >>>>Lana Del Rey.

Why are you even trying to compare them? They're nothing alike.

@Van Vogue No.

@Gracie Xcx Kate Bush is a legend, like xcx will never be.

@Mat Dennings Charli is actually a legend honey 😉

it reminds me of everytime i went to a nightclub and people would just blank me like whats that fat,ugly weird girl doing here, and id just want to get down to it, when i say fat i mean 137 lbs. which is fat for a nightclub, everyone is 100 lbs

+Katie Rebecca Wilson well ill take you to my dad John Warner who lives somewhere in uh either North Carolina or South Carolina. Hes at least 300 lbs. or he was. good question to how i know? Cuz I used to live with him thats how I know. But unfortunately i was dumb and stupid enough not to keep my proof.

lol I know, recently I weighed 82 lbs

I take back my comment. at the time my dad lived in north Carolina or South Carolina but he moved back to Michigan

I'm not sure how to feel about this comment because I'm 200lbs and go to the club often enough for everyone to know me and I've never felt that way. Perhaps you're just going to the wrong clubs.

Katie Rebecca Wilson soooo...they actually came up to you & told you that you were fat? At 138 lbs? I highly doubt that. Sounds like that feeling of unattractivness is just something you carry with you...and your own projected hatred of fat people. Maybe there was another reason you were unattractive. Or more likely it's the insecurity that's unattractive. What a strange assumption to make: the reason people don't like me is cuz I'm fat.

the old guy looks constipated

Kto od zdupy?

+Your Mother ja, znałam już Tori i tą piosenkę ale nie widziałam do niej teledysku :)

+Your Mother :D

+TESS177 chyba w 50 albo 49 odc ale nie jestem pewny

when ur named after this cool lady

Your mom's a Tori fan? Awesome!

LUCKY X

This song is about tori Amos first lesbo experience. Listen to the words folks

Okay, now I don't do hair-pie. Oh god, I hope my Dad doesn't watch this, he can't deal with this stuff, but I tell him he should cause one of these days one of the nieces or nephews are going to "come out," but anyway, my husband and I are "Married" but my friend Beenie is, we are married. Now she has had some real bad relationships, there is this one, if I ever see him I'm gonna kick his ass and well. I'm gonna kick his ass right now. This is for Beenie. [performs "Raspberry Swirl"] [VH1 Storytellers - October 24, 1998]

Sometimes I feel like I become the male figure for my girlfriends and so um, its unfortunate that I can't be a man, because I think I'd be in love with all of them. But that's not my inclination, um, you know, I love them very much, so this song is about... "Things are getting desperate when all the boys cant be men, everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man." and... well, they love it when I sing it to them. [giggles] [from the choirgirl hotel electronic press kit video]

The animus in me is "Raspberry Swirl." I'm in love with my women friends, but I just don't eat pussy [laughs]. But I'm still in love with them. If I had a different sensibility, then you know I think I could, you know, really fulfill someone down there, where a lot of men in their lives don't. And eating pussy is a metaphor, too - it's about crawling in their, being with their juices, really being with them. [Alternative Press - July 1998]

Vaaman Burr 💕

If you know Tori's lyrics you can't actually say anything for sure. I always perceived it as a "forgetthatasshole" song. But in a totally mature and serious way. Sure, it is easy, specially from a man's eyes, to see it like a lesbo experience. I see it much more as a "I am totally here as a witch for you, bitch".

Actually it's about cunnilingus

Tori he he , something like Max Magic Music , if You whont com in my Facebook , my name Radziu Sitarek . plis hyren Rick Ross ,, Ballin ,, 😉

+Radoslaw Sitarek I'm confused... How can someone come in someone's Facebook? Was it some kind of auto correct accident? You've meant to write the word "face" but got autocorrected to facebook? Because if that's what really happened, then that sentence you wrote would make _so much more sense_ ... Lol.

2.. wonderful..

Love trippy Tori Amos. :)

+Riotboy1

I thought I was Pip?

I always found food fights offensive and not funny.

Advanced Techniques Institute same here

+Advanced Techniques Institute I don't find food fights offensive, just lazy.
"How do we end this video?"
"Food fight?"
"Eh, good enough."

This is  real women music.....

...absolutely insane...and thank you so very much for that Tori!

awesome not much better than that 

they can't make music like they used too....it is the  kind that requires talent and more.

You said it!

I love her. I would marry her. But my wife do not allowed ;-).

This is one of my favorite Tori video's. Hands x Down !

Is that creepy dude James Woods?

I think it looks like Madonna's boyfriend who was Desperately Seeking Susan. If you recall the movie. Robert something or other.

What a beauty!

Robert Joy
