1. BETTY is an alternative rock group from New York City, The group originated in Washington, D.C. and traces its lineage to a birthday party for Dodie Bowers (the original owner of the 9:30 Club). The band's harmonies and unique lyrics attracted a cult following in the vibrant alternative music scene and among gay/lesbian audiences. A "BETTY Rules" t-shirt, an early marketing item of the band, appears on one of the AIDS quilts.
In the late 1980s the band relocated to NYC. The name of their first album, "Hello, BETTY!" comes from the standard opening for all their appearances. In 1995, the band expanded by adding lead guitar and drums to the initial line-up primarily of vocals with electronic accompaniment.
Betty appeared in every episode of the 1986 HBO Series Encyclopedia, singing educational songs each centered around a particular word, as well as performing the opening and closing theme songs. The members involved were Alyson Palmer/Amy Ziff/Elizabeth Ziff, although they were credited in the show's opening titles as simply "Betty".
In 2003 the group starred in its own off-Broadway show BETTY RULES directed by Rent's Michael Greif. The musical ran for 6 months at the Zipper Theatre. The show has since been performed in Chicago at the Lakeside Theatre and at Theater J in Washington, DC. BETTY has appeared as a regular guest artist on the television show The L Word, for which they provided the theme song.
Line-up:
Elizabeth Ziff (vocals, guitar)
Alyson Palmer (vocals, bass)
Amy Ziff (vocals, cello)
Tony Salvatore (lead guitar)
Mino Gori (drums)

JaME: Tara, the former bassist of Panic Channel, left this last band because of hearing problems.

The newly arrived reinforcements for Tara and Yuu weren’t completely unknown to the music scene as Toki, formerly Tsubasa, was in Panic Channel, while Setsuki played guitar in Karen, and Kasumi took care of drums in Gimikku.
On March 13th 2006, an exceptional sold-out live celebrated the end of Betty and the beginning of 176BIZ in the well-known Takadanobaba Area. The maxi-single Shinkai ni oboreta Sakana was released on March 22nd, points out a more rebel side of the band, especially in songs such as Dekiai and Drag on downer. They went on with more lives until the oneman "the scReaM of pRiMe" on June 20th.
176BIZ spend the whole summer preparing their first album Atelier which was planned to be released in September of 2006 in two different versions. The limited version, which included a PV of the song Aqua on top of the 10-tracks regular album, was quickly sold out.

My Baby
Betty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get the same old lonesome feeling cause that's when my baby sings his song
What's he doing in my world what's he doing holding my girl
If he's not more than just a friend why were you kissing him
What's he doing in my world
In his eyes I see the trace of sadness that comes when memories hold on
You say you've found somebody new but that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away am I that easy to forget
I make myself believe that he still loves me although to her he sings his songs
But as long as he returns to me at sundown I listen while my baby sings his song
Cause all I need is you all I want is you
To give my loving to all I need is you all I need is you
The lyrics of Betty Jean Robinson's "My Spirit Song" evoke a sense of nostalgia, longing, and heartache. The song is about a woman who listens to her lover play guitar and sing at sundown every day. While she feels comforted by his performance, she also experiences a sense of displacement and jealousy - wondering who he is singing about and what he is doing with other women. The line "What's he doing in my world, what's he doing holding my girl" encapsulates the singer's insecurity and suspicion.
However, despite her doubts, the singer refuses to let go of her lover. She still loves him deeply and is unwilling to let him walk away. She listens to his music every evening, pretending that the songs are for her. The final lines of the song, "All I need is you, all I want is you," serve as a declaration of love and an affirmation of the singer's desire to be with her lover.
Overall, "My Spirit Song" is a poignant and emotional reflection on love, jealousy, and the power of music to soothe and amplify our emotions. Through its vivid imagery and heartfelt lyrics, the song captures the complexities of relationships and the resilience of the human heart.
