  General Comment:well if its for Courtney or not....
  i think this song fits perfect for that someone who cheats and lies to you but yet you can't get enough of that person... "You got this thing that really makes me hot." or "You got this thing that follows me around"
  
  
  
  the world and babes in toyland do not revolve around Courtney....BIT make a name for themselves....KAT ROCKS!!

  General Comment:This song is definatley about Courtney...i'd say it is a reference to the whole kinderwhore arguement, like in de video theres sum1 following kat around who looks just like her who she strangles with de lyrics-'I've got this thing that follows me around'.

  General Comment:I've read what IL510 said in a couple of places - that it's about a muse they share. Combine the video for Bruise Violet and I find this hard to believe... Maybe she just doesn't want a huge deal made over it.

  General Comment:this song was babes at their best. Although spanking machine was kool too. Nemesisters was very unique and different from their past albums though, thats when the babydoll look died,(but i still like it cause my fashion is stuck in a time warp from the 90's)
  
  *anyway i heart this song*
  
  P.S.has anyone heard her new band Katastrophy Wife?

  General Comment:According to Wikipedia:
  
  Courtney Love and the Kinderwhore controversy
  
  Love and Bjelland have had a long and complex relationship. They are sometimes referred to as "friends/enemies." In 1992, Bjelland accused Love of stealing the Kinderwhore look, which was marked by a combination of lacy lingerie and school girl clothing.
  Bjelland and Love eventually made amends. Bjelland collaborated with Love on the track "I Think That I Would Die" on Hole's second album, Live Through This. In a recent interview, Bjelland was asked if the song "Bruise Violet" was written about Courtney Love. Her response was no, and that "Violet" was a muse that both she and Love wrote about.

  General Comment:This song is the only one really confirmed by kat abut being aimed at courtney, and how she took redit for her look or whatever. Sadly, everyone seems to think every song written by kat is about kurt and courtney. But this one has proof behind it, kat said it in an interview.
