"I like to be away from where the latest whatever is," Amos say, and you can't get less state of the art than a harpsichord. It's not easy, though. "You need to have a harpsichord technician. The guy who does the piano does that. He goes on the road and takes it apart every day." The harp tech will be delighted to learn that Amos "was thinking about doing Iggy Pop's I'm Sick of You on the harpsichord!"
-- Tori; Blender Magazine, August/September 2001
M: Did you record other songs which didn't make the album?
T: David Bowie's After All, and a version of Iggy Pop's Sick of You which is just vocal and harpsichord. I might use them as B-sides.

"...Sick of You at the harpsichord by Iggy Pop. He's such a typical super-man, and I think he deserves to get his lyrics thrown back in his face like a boomerang, I just couldn't find the harpsichord I wanted in time, we were on a tight schedule and I have to be on fire when I'm doing my projects. I light up very strongly, but I'm like fireworks: a quick burst but after that it fades away just as quickly."

"I was going to do a Baroque version of Iggy Pop's Sick Of You but the harpsichord wasn't ready in time, and I was tired by then."
-- Tori; Vox Online, November 2001
"The one that I really wanted to pull off was Iggy Pop, Sick of You, with the harpsichord. I thought, a baroque version of Sick of You would be really great. But the day that I was ready to do it, I woke up and thought, "Okay, I can do Sick of You today," the harpsichord was not ready to go, and my piano tuner was at a piano tuning conference, and I couldn't get him back while I still had the nerve."
