She has this song; I don't believe it was ever released to radio stations. It's called Serve The Ego, and it's very prolific (yet simple). I like it a lot. Kind of interesting the way it addresses the actual disco era and the "me" generation of the 1970s while also being very applicable to today's society as well.

You should get it if you can.

Here are the lyrics.

SERVE THE EGO

Mirror, mirror
Do you like
What you see?
I'll dance for you
If you dance for me
Who says a woman
Cannot serve?
It would be my pleasure
Who says it is
Not my destiny
To let you control me?
Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego

Two ships sailing
On a neon sea
Eat the flesh
Spit out the seeds
Feathered hair
And lame heels
What turns me on
Is so surreal

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego

Tut tut, oh, to discover oh
Oh no, you're yesterday's lover

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego

That's so Jewel. Interesting that it's your favorite song from the album, too. I like the sort of trance-like way she sings in it...makes me think of snake-charming music.

I saw her in concert in my home town last summer, and she was so funny, and suprisingly, she's tough cookie also. This woman in the audience kept shouting things at her, all drunk and stupid, while Jewel was trying to talk in between songs. And finally Jewel was like, "excuse me. When it's *your* show, you can talk. This is *my* show." And we all applauded. lol. She also made a couple more sarcastic/biting comments to the woman throughout the show, and it was funny. I like her gutsiness.
