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.
Oh, I'm sure Jim tapped it alright! ;)
