* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The song "Show Me" is usually taken to be about Chrissie's (then) newborn daughter, but also seems to have a fair amount of MessianicArchetype theming, leading some to say the song is actually about ''UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}''

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: "Show Me", off ''Learning to Crawl'', is a ParentalLoveSong for Chrissie's then-newborn daughter. Hynde assures her kid she has a place in "a heart of stone that's cold and grey", and admits in the refrain that she just wants love, and hopes her baby can help her find its true meaning. There's also such sweet lines as "welcome here from outer space, the Milky Way still in your eyes". Even rock stars love their babies!
