Kolderie Sean Slade }} "Jennifer's Body" is a song written and performed by American alternative rock band Hole, from their 1994 album Live Through This. The song was the inspiration for the title of the 2009 film of the same name. Origin and recordingAccording to drummer Patty Schemel, she and Courtney Love came up with the idea for the song in 1992 while in San Francisco; at the time, Love's husband Kurt Cobain was working with Melvins on their album Lysol (1992).[1] The song was recorded at Triclops Studios in October 1993 during the recording sessions for Live Through This.[1] Schemel recalled that the song was recorded in two takes.[1] Composition and lyricsThe meaning of the song has been interpreted and deciphered many different ways; however, the general theme of the lyrics deal with a woman's kidnapping and dismemberment.{{Sfn|Raha|2004|p=179}} According to Everett True, the song was thought to be inspired by Jennie Boddy, a music publicist.{{Sfn|True|2006|p=183}} Its lyrics appear to tell the narrative of a woman in captivity, being held "in a box by the bed," before eventually being murdered and dismembered.{{sfn|Burns|Lafrance|2002|p=116}} The line in the song, "He keeps you in a box by the bed, alive, but just barely" bears similarity to the 1977 kidnapping of Colleen Stan, a woman who was taken captive and kept as a sex slave for seven years by Cameron and Janice Hooker.[2] During her seven-year captivity, Stan was frequently imprisoned in a wooden box underneath Hooker's bed.[2] Though the case bears a similarity, Love and the band have never commented on it being an inspiration.{{cn|date=January 2019}} InterpretationThe song has been interpreted by feminist scholars as about literal violence against a woman's body, as well as using "corporeal fragmentation," representing a woman's body being enjoyed "piecemeal in objectified parts."{{Sfn|Burns|Lafrance|2002|pages=114-15}} The song's ending with the repeated lines "Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep," have been interpreted by feminist scholars as assuming the role of a male aggressor speaking to his female victim who is either being lulled to sleep, or experiencing death.{{sfn|Burns|Lafrance|2002|p=114}} When Diablo Cody wrote the script for her 2009 film of the same name, she said she had been drawn to it because of how dark it was, and chose to name the film after it because "[It was] a creepy song. It's sort of like a horror movie."[6] In cultureThe song was the basis of the title for the 2009 comedy horror film Jennifer's Body.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.spin.com/2014/04/you-will-ache-like-i-ache-the-oral-history-of-holes-live-through-this/|work=Spin|title=You Will Ache Like I Ache: The Oral History of Hole’s ‘Live Through This’|author=Hopper, Jessica|date=April 14, 2014|accessdate=December 1, 2015}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/16/girl-in-box-kidnapper-parole-hearing/25888837/|work=USA Today|title=Man who tortured 'girl in the box' denied parole|date=April 17, 2015|accessdate=December 1, 2015}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://twitchfilm.com/2010/06/midnites-for-maniacs-diablo-cody-on-jennifers-body-2009.html|work=Twitch Film|title=Midnites for Maniacs: Diablo Cody on Jennifer's Body (2009)|date=June 22, 2010|accessdate=November 29, 2015|author=Guillen, Michael}} Bibliography
