I just disagree that the original line doesn't make sense. I could come up with a number of meanings for the line, and I suspect, much like the rest of the song, it makes sense to her.<br />In fact I think with that in mind it's an interesting song to choose to cover just because it's so personal. There is some connection that Alanis is telling us about here. Something that has happened to her. To cover a song describing that is a brave choice. I wonder when he sings it does Wilson have his own experience in mind that he puts in, or is he putting himself in her shoes?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555193721594426402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098795664083608785.post-91134741453924134122013-04-14T12:30:02.770+10:002013-04-14T12:30:02.770+10:00Perhaps it's because the analogy of a carrot o...Perhaps it's because the analogy of a carrot on a stick relates to incentives rather than goals, and an unseen, unknown incentive isn't an incentive at all. Even if you disagree, an unseen, unknown goal isn't perceptible as a goal until it's been reached or attained, by which time it's no longer unseen or unknown. Ergo, it doesn't make sense. <br /><br />Or perhaps Wilson was playfully injecting a sense of humour, as he will, on occasion. <br /><br />Oh, and thanks for the opportunity to contribute to your blog. I always enjoy reading it.Deshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525327131372170766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098795664083608785.post-62486346762656903142013-04-14T12:00:01.327+10:002013-04-14T12:00:01.327+10:00I am indeed no fan of Alanis.

It's certainly not like rain on your wedding day, that's for sure. I guess it kind of is like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife, though.<br /><br />Despite that, I quite like the lyric "transparent dangling carrots". Unseen unknown goals. A nice image. Not sure why wassisname thought it "don't make sense".Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555193721594426402noreply@blogger.com
