Tori Amos - '97 Bonnie and Clyde

- This was requested by a youtuber who, sadly, missed the beginning of his 2001 Tori concert and thus also this song. Tori's not on stage while this is playing and the taper is trying to sort out his/her angles so it's not the most amazing vid but it will give you an idea of how the Strange Little Tour shows would start.
If I'm not mistaken it's not entirely playback, Tori might be singing backstage. I don't know this for a fact but the lyrics sound different from the album version, she does an even thicker yobbo accent here. It might just be a different recording though, I don't know.
She redefines the song, and makes it a statement about abuse. It's really amazing. At least that is how I think of it.
This is one of the scariest things I have ever heard.... but brilliant, at the same time. I never in a million years would have expected Tori Amos to cover Eminem. Ever.
This is so much better than the original. She really manages to capture an atmosphere and feeling that was totally absent from Eminem's version. Thanks for posting it!
That is exactly it.
i quote "Eminem's fans hate her cover. "That's the greatest compliment I've received," she says, teeth gritted. "My version invades his space, and men aren't used to feeling invaded, it drives them mad. Empower the wife, give her a voice. That's how you are an activist, I think. Is the song pretty? No, but I never said it was." Her blue eyes blaze. "Singing it is not a tribute." - Tori; The Times (UK), Dec 18, 2001"
tori amos is the best at covers, she makes them her own, i think she dug deeper, and made the covers dark, darker, i love tori
One of my favorite covers from her because of the context the meant. This is clearly a different version than the one from the album. I think she is singing live the harmonization in the chorus.
this is so spooky. i loveittttt. tori always pulls off such a good cover
both toris and eminems are amazing in my opinion,
Scary as hell, but brilliant
Creepy creepy creepy! But imaginative...when you are sad it can be even relaxing.
To the Tori Amos fans saying the original version by Eminem was just a catchy beat, you're clearly mistaken. What Eminem did in the song is nothing short of genius. He's baby-talking to his daughter after he killed his wife trying to explain the situation to his baby daughter in midst of myriads of emotions such as love for his daughter, the guilt, self-consolation and others. But, all the things he had to put aside since he didn't want to show the monster that he is to his daughter so he masks it with the rhythm but the rest of his mind don't join and hence, the eerie undertone. Captures the atmosphere perfectly. He doesn't try to exaggerate emotions like in this version which Tori tried to do(I don't hate this version). He gives you the realistic vision.
+Ajoykumar Thongbam How is that genius? Rapping about killing his daughter's mother, her step-father and her step-brother and then disposing of the bodies with his daughter with him is crass not genius.
Tori's purpose in doing the song was to make the disturbing aspects of the song more apparent. She doesn't have a take one way or the other on Eminem's choice to write the song itself, but she was disturbed by people enjoying his song and as she said "dancing with blood on their feet" not noticing the content of what they were listening to. so she made the song as eerie and disturbing as possible without changing any words to show that side of the song and present the song from the woman in the trunks perspective
Yes it's eminem's song heard through a different voice. Makes you rethink the lyrics, doesn't it? This version scared my nephew.
@bogslug No, Em wrote this song because it's how he was feeling at the time (1998)
Funny you should say she sounds like she's dying, Valareeea, she recording the song in a wooden box to give the impression she was stuck in a trunk, so she could be the voice of the victim in the song, not the perp. She wanted to be the voice of the murdered mother, who has no voice in the song. She's definately somewhere backstage singing but the backing tape is going. AMAZING.
@Whatiwouldntgive
Maybe the fans hate it, but Eminem respected it. Notice you don't hear him talk any crap about Mama Tori.
I love it!
omfg this is so fucking amazing.. omg it sends shivers down my spine.. eminem is brilliant, but Tori Amos is just so much more awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes Tori is singing backstage, or either it's o re recording of the song because they way she sings it is different from the record.
That's so cool!!! The SLG tour looks like it was awesome!! I gotta get this CD, too..
I get goosebumbs when I hear her do this cover. She really channels something when you does this song.
God, this is brilliant. Just horrible but brilliant. It sends shivers up your spine; it's so disgusting and terrible, and her voice is so creepy that it really encompasses just how truly disturbing of a song this is.
yes. yes. yes.
thank you!!!
@justanotherdruid -- if Em were actually feeling that, the song would be considered a terrorist threat and he'd be in jail today. Em's relationship with his wife headed south AFTER this song was released.
@nogoodbastid She is singing this in a tone that clearly suggest sadness. This is what she said in an interview about the CD. It's all about tone. For example, even though your comment is typed, I can read that your tone is sarcastic and confrontational.
no body in this world is evah gunna keep u away from me-----i luv u. those were not words to his daughter lols
Tori covered this song so people could hear the story without the catchy beat. Her version really makes you realize what an awful and twisted song it really is. She is brilliant.
people are saying he shouldve made the song dark dont even know why he wrote the song, It wasnt a joke, It was a song for his daughter, it was a Fuck You song to Kim,
YES! RAWR!
She did it in a sort of intention to higlight the viewpoint of the murdered woman.
@ieatpaste789 Tori changed the interpretation of the song. Its not that she is just singing one of his songs, she gave the song a different identity. We all speak in different tones and manners to convey our intent, we can all say the same sentence but how we say it can easily change its meaning and thats exactly what Tori tried to do and thats the point of singing a cover :)
@cannonultra789 Yeah, that's what the appeal is. It takes the thinly veiled horror of the song and brings it to the forefront.
ok she made this song soooooo much scarier than the original.
@vice2vursa "When looking at it through lyrical quality, you obviously can’t get over the content"
I don't get your point. How exactly is one supposed to analyze/judge lyrics.
Lyrics are typically used to deliver the message in a song. If you're suggesting that they're poetic to the point where one can ignore their vulgar/tasteless nature, I can assure you that there's much out there that trumps these lyrics in terms of poeticism.
This is interesting, but Em's version ('97 Bonnie and Clyde) is my favourite, and much darker in my opinion.
The Bass Brother's beat just has that dark, dreamy, surreal lullaby feel to it and the way Em softly coos the words to Hailie during the car ride is the most chilling part of the entire song for me. He speaks to her softly like a child, and makes her feel comfortable while she is oblivious to the fact she is helping him bury her mother and her new family.
You just cannot top that.
@therestisrain Presumably it means the dead bodies of the stepdad and stepson who are mentioned earlier in the song.
it does sound different from the album version.
love this cover.
@vice2vursa "If an artist/musician you liked made a song about a cause you personally feel obliged to" OOOH. So there's a "cause" ? :D
Please elaborate on that.
I actually had that album along with "the eminem show" both of which had initially engaged me with their explicit content ( i was a teenager back then :D).
Absolutely haunting.
that's exactly what Tori was going for :)
I believe in an interview she said something like "if your gonna kill your girlfriend, be careful who she makes friends with in the next life"
It sets a crazy mood. It's actually really cool if you look at it the right way. I could see this in a horror movie. That said, it's not a song to really put on and listen to. I see what you're saying, though.
It's very Hitchcockian
i got goosebumps
i only just managed to get through the full thing
what a creepy song
When I saw her, it seemed she was singing from backstage, but I don't know for sure either.
It's amazing how this woman can turn absolute shit into gold!
She is rock, my friend.
Don't know about mp3, but the song is from Tori's 'Strange Little Girls' album.
RAWR haha ganged up on youtube, epic
hello? it has everything to do with having her throat slit! Tori sings this song as the woman trapped in the truck, speaking to her daughter... this is one of the finest Tori's delivery, very theatrical... creepy as hell. The best from that not-so-good album.
With the violins and slower tempo, it makes the song creepy like it should be. Eminem's version is kind of humorous. I bought the Eminem CD when it came out and I have every one since then, but I never thought about this song until I heard her version. You don't have to like it more than the original, but you should be able to appreciate her interpretation of it. Dominico1197 and letherneck14 (not a real Marine) should exchange phone numbers and discuss it. Why is everyone so combative?
THANK YOU for having the only clue in this thread.
@BoyintheMachine I agree 100%! how awesome would it be to have another Album from her now that would be as powerful as Little Earthquakes. I wish she would!
Just like what Tori said: Check fucking mate.
tori is too briliant
NO! RAWR!
well I love it, it's very haunting and creepy.
And she actually makes an Eminem song sound good xD
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhtttt....
Em wrote the song to shock and get attention. Tori covered it to shock and get attention. I don't see what the problem is.
@jwsavs i completely agree. everyone chill out. what he means is that when eminem says it, he says it as if he's speaking to his daughter, in a playful way. where as with this psycho chick..no matter what she's saying, i wouldn't let her anywhere near my child.
@audreysherfey lolol bloody hell, calm down.
i think you're misunderstanding what he meant
he means the tone of the voice eminem uses, he raps as if he's actually talking to his daughter. where as this freaky chick is just whispering in a haunting voice.
She's singing live
@dylanhoka
Just how does she do this? She basically says it slowly. There is no discernable message, it's just a shit version of a good Eminem track.
Anyway, it 's not fully playback. It is not the same singing as on the album.
hmmm...so he wrote a song to his infant daughter about killing her mother. What a GENIUS!!
th3wiing3dpaint3r he didn’t write it TO her.
@@brilmao2817He’s literally talking to his daughter in the lyrics. Pay attention.
haha I didn't realise you said duck too lol
She didnt even sing the best part.....SOOOOOOoooo longggggg I donttt wanttt too gooooo onnn livingg in this worlllllllllllld without you.....!......BOOOooooo!
kowtpr187 different song dumbass
I like this, where can I find an mp3 of this?
Gave me nightmares
haha, wtf? yes i have pans in my ass.
along with forks and other sharp objects ....thats why im so uptight all the time
MAN
oyu are like the freaking oracle WOW!
there was an original, but em changed it around a bit.
I'm replying to myself here. I didn't see jeweliaM's comment. I said some of the same things.
-Sorry.
He's free to sing about whatever twisted shit he likes, it doesn't make it any less fucked up.
He's not artistic at all, when he's not singing about killing somone or doing drugs he's just insulting other celebrities.
What the heck?! & I thought Eminem was twisted. Nice.
lol to the minus one. cos i was hoping there would be some sort of acceptable art form here. i get it, i see what shes trying to do, but it just didn't work for me or any of my friends. i found it incredibly, stupid, but because i like tori amos elsewhere, i thought i'd give it a chance and listen to it all the way through.
It was her idea to do an album of covers so she could break her deal with Atlantic as soon as possible and sign with Sony...after she did that she came out with Scarlets Walk and produced the radio hit Atlantic always wanted to get out of her but never did..it was kind of her F*ck you to Atlantic...go tori!!!
lolz iight
rofl, it wasnt creepy,the only creepy was to read what ppl commented, so i was affraid somethin gonna popp up.
her basic message to eminem is; how dare you creep out your daughter with a story about how you killed her mother and then sell it to people you bastard, give her away, you don't deserve to be a father.
the video of this song shows what happened to the girl years later.
em wrote the song before he was famous, because he was depressed and wanted to kill kim because of the shit she did to him. And to not kill her in reality, he wrote the song.
Well Fist off she's trying to make a point.. If you've read any of her comments that she has made about this song, you would know that she is singing this from the woman in the trunk's perspective. Changing the side that you see.. As for ripping off of Eminem.. How many original songs does she have out? Think about it.
Attn: both sides
Both versions are coming at this from different angles, stop being stupid about it. Both versions are cool, now grow up.
if it was that bad, why did you even listen to the whole thing?
@ayyihuh she is doing an Eminem cover lols
Gawd bloody hell i just eminems one it was the first time i heard and it was the shittest thing ive eva heard Tori amos is so much more serious about itthen he is i love this song though Tori is definitely one of the best
that's not playback at all
Great cover.
Strange Little Girls is an amazing album.
if she hatse the song, does it really make sense to cover it? Em gets publishing royalties everytime she performs it...so she's really just making him money
tht was pretty good.. i didnt like eminems version tht much, but thts ok as well.. i luv tha lyrics though.. theyre hardcore
well you gotta look at it from his point of view did he really kill her NO does his daughter even know he did a song like this NO he's merely stating that he loves his daughter more then anything in the world but if he didnt add the murder part it wouldnt be accepted by modern day sociaty see what im sayin
Not rap, Eminem.
All I've done here is defend Tori because so many people felt the need to trash her, someone had to fight the other corner.
But yeah, I think it's pretter safe to say we agree to disagree lol
I can never tell where Eminem's public persona ends and where his real personality starts. I dated a girl who loved him. She thought this cover was really creepy.
@Whatiwouldntgive
The fans might hate it. but he gets the publicity and therefore more listens and therefore more sales. She's essentiantly contributing to the widespread sale of something she hates.
Marvellous.
Chris Williams ok
But if people today think that gaga is "very talented". i guess it's not so strange that they think the same of Eminem.
CREEPY AS MFING HELL!!!!! That would probably be how it felt more than the eminem version. but ppl are not supposed to be able to do it so gosh darn well!!!!!
Tori was offended over the fact that people was dancing and having fun to a song with such sadistic and misogynistic lyrics.
Thats fine, but she also kinda missed the brilliance of the original.
97 bonnie & clyde an Eminem masterpiece where he so brilliantly use his rage and frustration to deliver such dark lyrics. Eminem is in no way condoning violence against women, he is simply blowing of steam.
Brett E. Ellis experianced the same thing with his novel American psyco.
Nice Eminem cover!!!
what the hell, how does people applaud to this ???
murder isn't art. it's fucked up.
ok you dont like rap now we can agree to disagree ok peace be onto you
yeah, sure... whatever.
I assume you mean "suck"?
y does everyone say tht? i didnt get anything, does tht mean im like a weirdo?haha
naw, everyone has their own opinion of whats creepy lol so no your not weird
y does everyone say tht? i didnt get anything, does tht mean im like a weirdo?haha
This wasn't the best cover off the album... I give my vote to Tom Waits' "Time"
