Tori collaborated on the writing of Party Man along with Peter Gabriel and George Acogny. Tori, however, does not appear in the song.
"Probably everybody gets approached at a certain point, because, as you said, it's an obvious thing to do. I think you have to be kind of careful and you can't get drawn into the fact that just because you're successful and they're successful, that doesn't mean it's a wise thing to do. Sometimes it works, and sometimes you do it for a laugh. Sometimes it's just... I don't know... there's just chemistry there, where you've always wanted to work with that person and you really don't care whether people like it or not, you just really wanted to do it. I think a lot of the times, the reason bands work and musicians work is because it's a chemistry. There's an internal chemistry, you see what I mean? It's not based on what the public's fantasy is, but it's based on real relationships with people. Just because you're well-known and they're well-known doesn't mean it has the magic. You've got to stay objective. Sometimes it just works. I've worked with a lot of really wonderful people. It's not like I haven't collaborated. I've worked with Robert Plant. I've worked with Peter Gabriel. I've worked with Michael Stipe and Trent [Reznor]. It's not like I haven't done it, but I'd like to think that we did it for the right reasons."
-- Tori; INsite Magazine, Dec 98
