Mitzi is the name of a friend's cat. Hearing this name I thought I should find out the meaning of Mitzi Dupree, one of the song from a famous classic rock band: Deep Purple! After searching the web for it, well, nothing special came out about it. So, all it's left to do is just to enjoy the song as it is, without thinking about some hidden meanings! And, by the way, "It has no connection with China!"
Well, if you are searching the web for "The House of Blue Lights" instead of "The House of Blue Light", you'll find quite a story, a scary tale!
Even today, though it has been many years since the “House” has been torn down, there is tremendous interest in it.
Many years passed since I heard for the first time Radiohead's Creep. Recently, while listening to some of Clint Mansell's original soundtracks, I've recognized the lyrics. Yes, they were the lyrics from Creep.
You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world . . . She's running out again She's running out She's run run run run
Radiohead emerged from the shadow of Britpop with a sound that was moody, melodic and explosive, with roots planted firmly in both alternative culture and the art-rock legacy of such classic rockers as Pink Floyd.
About the time Radiohead was launching Creep, I used to listen to a Serbian radio station from Novi Sad, called Radio Stotka (100.00 MHz FM). There was a show where two versions of the same song were presented side by side. The listeners of the station had the opportunity to cast their votes in order to decide which version is better: the original one, or the remake? Most of the times, the verdict was:
Uvek je bolje original!(The original is always better!)
I don't really perceive Mansell's version as a remake. It is rather the interpretation of Creep with another state of mind and heart, rather than a different pitch or style (like from pop to rock, or from folk to metal).
According to Thom Yorke, “Creep” tells the tale of an inebriated man who tries to get the attention of a woman to whom he is attracted by following her around. In the end, he lacks the self-confidence to face her and feels he subconsciously is her.
