A Sorta Fairytale is a successful single and the 2nd track from Tori Amos' Scarlet's Walk album.
Music video
The music video features Amos, as a head attached to a disembodied leg, falling in love with another head attached to a disembodied arm (played by a then relatively unknown Adrien Brody). The two creatures show signs of romantic interest in one another, until the arm accidentally hurts the leg's feelings by laughing at her crooked fifth toe. The leg then flees by jumping onto a passing skateboard, and ends up alone on a deserted beach. The arm finds her and they consummate their love with a deep kiss. The act of kissing causes the arm and leg to suddenly start swelling up and growing their extra body parts -- they finally become complete, "whole" humans by realizing their love.
DVD single
A "Special Edition" DVD Single was released in 2003 for the "A Sorta Fairytale" music video. The DVD features: "A Sorta Fairytale" music video (digitally mastered), Tori Amos Biography, the making of "A Sorta Fairytale", and an interview segment (with Amos).[1]
Charts
"A Sorta Fairytale" was Tori Amos' most successful radio single in America so far. It reached #11 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 Chart, and reached #1 on the AAA Radio Charts, as well, spending almost six months in the top 10 of that chart. The video was popular with VH1, peaking at #11 for two weeks on their video countdown in 2002 and winding up at #4 on their "Pop Up Video 2002" special. This song helped Scarlet's Walk go gold, selling over 500,000 copies.
