"Girl Anachronism" is a song by American dark cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls, released as a promo single from their self-titled debut album. The lyrics, alternately angry, apologetic, and full of complaint, deal with Amanda Palmer, the band's lead singer, as a "problem child", a trait which she blames on the fact that she was born a few days premature, by Caesarean section. As the song grows, the lyrics split into various subplots, all of which are related to feeling out of place or out of time.
This song was used at the end credits of season three, episode five of the Showtime television series Weeds.[1]
The song ranked at number 30 on the 2004 Australian national music chart, Triple J's Hottest 100.
