Possible inspiration for librarian in "Librarian"

[cantrell-r]

Has anyone seen Tomcats, with Jerry O'Connell-Romijn?  I think the librarian in Jim's song might be like the librarian that Jerry's character tries to hook up with in that movie.  Any thoughts?

Possibly, but I think the librarian in the song is more of a figurative character. I've heard Jim say that he finds something alluring about women who don't--and I love this phrase--broadcast their sexuality.

There's this image of librarians--or at least--the "sexy librarian" that society tends to gravitate to--an understated figure of beauty who is quietly intelligent and spends more time in the reference section than in front of the mirror. But, as the song says, she has a natural beauty that can't be denied, hence the fantasy of her taking the pencil out of her hair and letting that beauty loose.

I think the image of the librarian from that movie is just another example of people tapping into an idea that has existed for awhile, and that James also tapped into.
