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)

Two Cherries
Betty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know how to cling to you
Like two peas up in a pod
I know how to be to you
It's my second nature, baby
To want to know every little thing about you
It's my second nature, baby
It's my second nature to love
Every little thing about you
Two cherries
Like two kites on a windy day
I know how to dance with you
Like two flags in a parade
I know how to fly with you
It's my second nature, baby
To want to know every little thing about you
It's my second nature, baby
To want to know every little thing about you
It's my second nature to love
Every little thing about you
Come on, come on, come on come on come on
I want to know
I want to feel
I want to love
And don't you know
I want to know
I want to feel
I want to love
Like two cherries in a pile
I know how to cling to you
Like two peas up in a pod
I know how to be to you
It's my second nature, baby
To want to know every little thing about you
It's my second nature, baby
To want to know every little thing about you
It's my second nature to love, love
Every little thing about you
Two cherries
The lyrics of Betty's song "Two Cherries" are filled with metaphors that describe how she feels about her partner. Betty compares herself to two different objects throughout the song, first cherries, then kites and flags. She expresses her desire to be close to and learn everything about her partner, which comes as easily to her as second nature.
The cherry metaphor is fitting as they appear in pairs and are often associated with love and relationships. Betty's comparison of herself to two cherries in a pile suggests that she and her partner are perfectly matched together. Similarly, comparing herself to two peas in a pod emphasizes her closeness and familiarity with her partner.
In the second half of the song, Betty shifts her comparisons to kites on a windy day and flags in a parade, both of which suggest movement and freedom. By comparing herself to flying objects, she emphasizes her desire to be free and move with her partner.
Overall, the song suggests a deep level of connection and intimacy between Betty and her partner. She desires to know everything about them and be closely intertwined with them. The use of metaphors throughout the song adds a layer of playfulness and creativity to the lyrics.
