Scissor Sisters Puzzle
13Dec2004 Filed under: Pop VulturaSince 1) The lead singer of Scissor Sisters is from Seattle, and 2) he moved to New York in 1999, and 3) The “Return to Oz” lyrics make reference to “Emerald City” … then 4) “Return to Oz” is actually a song about the late-’90s Seattle rave scene getting eaten by methamphetamine. Fascinating!

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

i think the “what one was the emerald city is now a crystal town” gave that away for me the first time i heard it. their perfomance on SNL was pretty decent - they needed about 4 more vocal tracks though. or some backup singers or something.

Sadly, not all of us can be as quick on the draw as you, Miss Leblanc.
