IMPROVS

(male in audience: "play pain in the hole!")
(tori: "i.i.i..i don't know that song!")

i've got a pain in my hole
and it could be this boy i know
or it could be..
some big man in a suit somewhere
could be that fifteen percent i got sitting at his desk
after all them royalties
trying to be
could be that boy
that i buy furniture for his sweet sweet little penis
could be all these boys
want to shit off me
i said
i said i said
one thing darling
beautiful men
when you think all the chicks are taken
let me say one thing
you ain't getting my b�se

COMMENTS

This hilarious and now famous incident occurred during the Dew Drop Inn Tour in Cleveland, OH on June 4, 1996 (late) show. Tori introduced her guitar accompaniment, Steve Caton, and a male in the audience yelled, "Caton is Cool!". Tori asked, "What?" And the audience repeated it to her again. Tori, mishearing, thought he was requesting a song, and said, "Pain in his hole? I don't remember that one." And so she then began an improvisation...

"No he didn't, no, no no no, he didn't...okay, did he ask me to play Pain In my Hole? oh NO, okay, I'll explain to you what happened..was that in Cleveland? Okay, so in Cleveland, I'll explain to you, so in Cleveland, somebody yelled something..." Someone screamed "It wasn't me!" and Tori says, "Not you I know, fair enough, we won't condemn you to this. So I thought they said 'Play Pain In My Hole. Well, I've never heard of such a thing... well I HAVE actually, but I haven't written it." (laughter) "So I made it up, right? and I couldn't, I swear to God if my life depended on it I could not make up that song again, I'll put it out...some bootlegger has it already out I'm sure. But anyway, I made it up over here, and it was 'pain in my hole something something that's all you say all day. So anyway, what they were really saying was..one of the engineers came up to me and said, 'Um, Tori, you know what the guy said right?', I said 'yeah it was Pain In My Hole. He said, 'no he said "Caton's Cool".' So there you go."

"Those of you who have been to a few shows already know Caton....The deal with this Pain In My Hole thing is I don't know it. Did I do that in Chicago? Someone needs to get me a tape so I can relearn it. I mean I made it up, it was invasion of the body snatchers. I am sure some bootlegger has it."
