Transcription

Background

In a 1997 interview with Billboard, singer Jill Cunniff explained that the song is about being emotionally naked, or honest, rather than naked as in without clothing.[2]

Music video

The song's music video was inspired by the 1977 Luis Buñuel film That Obscure Object of Desire, which featured two actresses playing the same role.[3] All four of the band's then members (Cunniff, Gabrielle Glaser, Kate Schellenbach and Vivian Trimble) portray the same character, a woman being escorted to a departing aircraft by her boyfriend. The character arrives in a Citroen CX car.[4] Though the video is made to look like it takes place at an airport, it was filmed at New York's World Trade Center.[3] The music video made its MTV debut on November 17, 1996.[5]
