Map of Tasmania

Warning for people of delicate sensibilities - if you may be offended by a song about pubic hair and a video full of glittery crotch shots... then you may want to skip this one. It is not for everyone, and with the pulling up of skirts and whatnot, might not be appropriate for the office (though I don't think there's any real nudity).

But it is so fun! The song is super catchy, and the video is pretty much exactly what you would want to go along with it - very dance-alicious and happy. I like the total randomness of the song/video (on her blog, linked below, you can read about when/how she wrote it and the making of the video). The video is like a crazy party thing with lots of flashing, which is appropriate for a short, quirky song of this subject matter. It couldn't be too serious.

Even if you're not a fan of her or her work/image/ethos - I think the video is hilarious. And on a slightly serious note, it has an important message - Amanda Palmer's blog has a quote from the video's director, Michael Pope who says:

"On the surface its a song about girls growing out their pubes. Underneath that however is a call to everyone, woman and man alike, to discover the courage to be themselves. Whoever that may be. No small order in a world that is constantly bombarding us with who and what we “should” be."
