Where there's a whip there's a way

Quick question: what, if anything, does the phrase "misery whip" mean to you ?

In a second-hand CD shop in Camden at the weekend I was delighted to find Vol 2 of Everclear's "Songs From An American movie" for £2. On it, there is a track called Misery Whip.

Which is odd, because I also have a song called The Misery Whip on "Asphyxia" by the Dream Disciples. And they're definitely not the same song. This would seem to be a strange example of convergent evolution, so I'm just wondering if the phrase exists independently, and if so, how well-known is it ?

Yes, I could just google the phrase, and I probably will. But I'm curious to hear people's thoughts, first.

In a liquorice cornet. With glitter.

Hmm. Is there anything which is both glittery and edible ?

Closest I can think of is the coloured bits in Wham bars. Which were only glittery by the shakiest of definitions. Come to think of it, they were only edible by the shakiest of definitions, too.

Little crystals of something, possibly sugar. Or the silver balls you can get to put on cake, seen from a distance.
