Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index "Professional Widow" is a song written by American-born singer and songwriter Tori Amos. It was originally a harpsichord-driven punk rock dirge included on her 1996 album Boys For Pele but it got international popularity after being remixed by techno musician Armand Van Helden. The remixed single (entitled "The Star Trunk-Funkin' Mix") hit number one on the charts. The original song, an in-your-face and accusatory piece accusing Courtney Love of the murder of her husband, Kurt Cobain, had been edited down to the lines "Honey/Bring it close to my lips" and "It's gotta be big." The song was then further remixed by artist Mr. Roy, spawning an entirely new CD-single of remixes that again took to the charts. This article is from Wikipedia.
