behappy, It's a play on words. Her mind is definitely twisted. Tiffany rhymes with 'definitely'. Tiffany is the world famous jewelry company based in New York. Her mind is Tiffany twisted. Her mind is twisted by the love of expensive jewelry. also.... She got the bends. The 'bends' is decompression sickness ( deep sea divers suffer from this). "bends" rhymes with Benz. She got the Mercedez Benz.......(She has the Mercedes sickness.) :) She suffers from the love of expensive cars.

It is not bends. The song is about money and power and back in the 60; if you have a mercedes benz, you have made it. The saong verse stats off with Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got the Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends. Her mind is twisted from greed, she got a benz beause she has made it to the top, she has a lot of prety, prety boys, meaning she has a lot of jewellery that she calls friends.

I understand that the expression "Tiffany-twisted" indicates a reference to being enchanted by jewelry. It could be a reference to the company Tiffany & Co., famous in the jewelry business and founded in 1837 in the USA. Another possibility (more interesting if we consider all the lyrics of the song), is that it is a reference to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (I understand that the expression "Tiffany-twisted" indicates a reference to being enchanted by jewelry. It could be a reference to the company Tiffany & Co., famous in the jewelry business and founded in 1837 in the USA. Another possibility (more interesting if we consider all the lyrics of the song), is that it is a reference to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's ("Bonequinha de luxo" in Brazil and Portugal) which tells the story of a luxury escort who dreams of marrying a rich man and become an actress in Hollywood.
