A single with some very nice b-side treats.

The original version of the title track can be found on Amos's second solo release, "Under the Pink." The version here is the one used for the promotional video clip for the song. It is shortened dramatically, with a significant amount of content taken out. The reason for this is quite simple: the original is simply too long for radio and video play. Regardless, it worked: "Cornflake Girl" remains one of Amos's biggest hits to date. The b-sides on this single include the cute, but not ground-breaking, "Daisy Dead Petals," and some of Tori's best b-side work: the Amos fan favorite "Honey" and the haunting "Sister Janet."

is it worth buying?

If you love tori, you'll say yes. But the truth is, if you already have a lot of other singles, I just don't think this is a necessary one to own. I enjoyed Daisy Dead Petals, but you can get Corflake Girl on Under the Pink and a live version of Honey (which I prefer) on the Hey Jupiter cd. I just don't think Sister Janet is worth all of the fuss. If you love tori you'll get this regardless of what I say, I just thought I'd forewarn you of having some repeat songs in your collection.

Golden!

Years ago when this single came out I took it with me to the beach and it saved my life. I was stuck in a nasty motor home infested with cockroaches and no form of entertainment but my cd-player. Thank God for Tori. Each night I listened to this single over and over again and 8 years later I still am in love with this single. Honey is my favorite. Mellow and somewhat dark, but so good. Daisy Dead Petals is good too, but the bridge part of this track gives me goosebumbs to this day. Sister Janet is simple yet otherworldly and magical. Of course the cornflake girl edit is cool to listen to after hearing the album version. Excellent disk!
