The single to "Cornflake Girl" is one of my favorite CD singles. Usually with a single, the B-sides are fun to have and the disc is worth having a listen to every once in a great while. This single is different. It has found its way into my player more often than some band's full-length albums!
"Cornflake Girl" is one of my top favorite Tori songs, and even though this version is edited, it's still fun to listen to. It also features three really tremendous B-sides. "Daisy Dead Petals" is a quirky little ditty that goes from frolicking, to subdued, and back to fun and bouncy. "Sister Janet" is a beautiful song whose lilting piano opening reminds me of a song from the film "Amelie". "Honey" is a song that I first heard live on the "Hey, Jupiter" EP. The live version is excellent, but I was even more impressed to hear the studio version. Tori found yet another gorgeous piano melody and wrote some great lyrics to go with it ("Cowboys know that cowgirls ride on the Indians side"). Since this is not one of the singles that has gone out of print (like most of the Little Earthquakes singles) I would recommend that all Tori fans have this in their collection. A listen through Under the Pink doesn't quite feel complete anymore without hearing these three B-sides.
