Cocteau Twins – Sugar hiccup

• +1
  Lyric Correction:A good set of lyrics, but surely it's "Makes the earth toss and tumble", not "tough and tumble"?
  
  
  As for the meaning, I always thought it was about orgasms myself. *blush*

  General Comment:Sounds like "Sugar Hiccup oh Cherrios, Sugar Hiccup" mmm makes me think of Milk with Cherrios. Honey Cherrios! That's funny.

    Eeeee. I thought the same thing. Luckily, I'm a Cheerios fan.
    
    
    "there's a monumental hugeness to this song, towers above, circles around, laughs and flies back down in victory"

    I see the Cheerios thing a lot on the web. Sadly for that theory, I'm pretty sure that they weren't sold in the UK until sometime in the 1990s, although it seems remarkably difficult to find out exactly when they DID arrive here.

  General Comment:"Sugar hiccup" is a reference to mothers who would spoon feed sugar to a burping baby. Its esssentially a lullabye tune to Frasier's baby.

    The song was written about a decade before Frasers first baby was born
