I had forgotten how much I really liked listening to Alana Davis' cover of the song 32 flavors until I heard it again last night. In fact, I liked it so much I decided to change and use it as the music for my main page. Hopefully I'll have it up and playing in a bit as I'm already uploading the file as I type.

Normally, while listening to music, I'm pulled by the beat/melody more than the words. But the lyrics of this one had me taking notice.

Here goes...

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you're going to get hungry
And eat all of the words you just said

I am what I am. I am 32 flavors and then some.

And God help you if you are an ugly girl
Course too pretty is also your doom
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room

And God help you if you are a pheonix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying pass

I am what I am. I am 32 flavors and then some
I'm taking my chances as they come
I am 32 flavors and then some
I am nobody but I am someone
yeah someone yeah

I'm not trying to give my life meaning by demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do

I am beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you're gonna be starving
And eat all of the words you just said
that you said

I am what I am. I am what I am
I am 32 flavors and then some
taking my chances as they come
I am 32 flavors and then some
looking for truth but there is none

I am 32 flavors and then some
I never forget where I came from
I am 32 flavors and then some
I am nobody but I am someone.

I am 32 flavors and then some
taking my chances as they come
I am 32 flavors and then some
looking for truth but there is none

A bit of info, I just discovered that the song was originally done by Ani Difranco in 1995. If I'm not mistaken, it was Ani Difranco who sang the song "Wishing and Hoping" which was used in the title credits of the film My Best Friend's Wedding.
