"Caught a Lite Sneeze" is a song by Tori Amos, released as the first single from her 1996 album Boys for Pele. It reached number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 20 on the UK Singles Chart and Canada's RPM Top Singles chart. Despite being one of her higher-charting singles, it does not appear on her best-of collection, Tales of a Librarian. The song is about wanting to do anything to keep a relationship going, knowing that it's over. It references Nine Inch Nails's album Pretty Hate Machine in the following lyric: "Caught a lite sneeze / Dreamed a little dream / Made my own pretty hate machine. " In live performances from 1996 and 1998, Amos would frequently insert lines directly from and inspired by "Hurt," another song by Nine Inch Nails. The song holds historical significance as the first ever to be made available as a free internet download. It has been covered by a variety of artists, including by Voltaire on his album Boo Hoo, and Evans Blue on their album The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends.more »
