"Tiny Hands"
Song

"Tiny Hands" (full title: "We Don't Want Your Tiny Hands, Anywhere Near Our Underpants") is a protest song by Fiona Apple, released on SoundCloud days prior to the Women's March on Washington (January 21, 2017), for which the song was created.[1]

Composition and recording

Fiona Apple in 2012

During the one-minute long chant, Apple repeats, "We don't want your tiny hands / anywhere near our underpants".[2] The track, which was produced by Michael Whalen, also includes a sample of Donald Trump's comments from the Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording, in which he boasts about grabbing the body parts of women.[2]

Apple recorded the song on her phone.[3]

Reception

The New Yorker's Carrie Battan called the song "blunt and infectious".[4]
