      I saw Karen at the ICA years ago was quite an eye opener...and I'm mighty surprised that Tom Moulton mastered this, the Rio drummy ones not bad.

        This song is likely Karen's "Stairway To Heaven", "Lick Me" is pretty good but this is musically/production wise a little easier to take. Her album is pretty good but it's only half music. I get the 'art' aspect of this and dig it, it's a nice track to break out when the in-laws visit. This succeeds as music as much as her personal art aesthetic which is really the difference between this and her other records. A banger! It "slaps" as the kids say

          Best song ever! Never tire of this piece of experimental dance.

              with all due respect, it must be said that the instrumental version by Mark Kamins is what many have hoped to find

                'Tales Of Taboo' is musically a cover version of Anne Clark's 'Sleeper in Metropolis', but lyrically the song is pretty much about perverted sex, penis envy, belgian waffels and having intercourse with your mother... If you are a man and want to be insulted by a sexobsessed lesbian, buy this record!
