Gavin Castleton performs a looping cover of Fiona Apple's "Hot Knife" using a TC-Helicon VoiceLive Touch 2, an Alesis keytar midi controller, Ableton Live 8, and Neumann KMS 104+ microphone. Vocals were effected and looped with VoiceLive Touch 2, while drums and piano were played and looped with Ableton. The two were synced together via MIDI.

Lyrics:

If I'm butter - if I'm butter-

If I'm butter, then [s]he's a hot knife,

[s]he makes my heart a cinemascope screen,

showing a dancing bird of paradise.

[S]he excites me

Must be like the genesis of rhythm

I get feisty

Whenever I'm with h[er]

I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-

I'm a hot knife [s]he's a pad of butter.

If I get a chance, I'm gonna show her that

[s]he's never gonna need another never [gonna] need another.

And you can, and you can, and you can relax around me

Maybe [s]he can teach me something, maybe I can teach h[er] too

Even just a little tease to show h[er] that [s]he's never really got a hold on you.
