I'm, like, begging for it baby
makes u wanna party, wanna wake up

pay me back..
said i like it like that.

For anyone curious: the book that was censored out is The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Barnes and Noble literally carries the exact copy she's holding, it's literally a bargain book there. Rather than censor it, that publisher should have teamed with B&N and flaunted the fact that you can purchase this particular edition for like $10 to $15. It's irritating that the cover had to be censored, as it was clearly important in this music video.

[@LordosisProduction]

Yeah, I noticed it's the same version that I own. The most recent sort of mass production version I assume.

[@maghrebforever2012]

Or, it was deliberate. She’s an artist - who knows the reasons for its inclusion

There’s always a kris with a K to remake an anton sandsor le vey satanic paperback alter remake, give it a little pair of rectangular spectacles and call in Andy or Dominic bugging Belgium as the alter of materialism? Rubén’s overtaken by when Gianni shot Versace? When is the wisper video of the Hampstead school satanic pedofile ring coming out? Nice to see Lady gaga in some more of my illustration costumes playing the piano, maybe feature Scary Matt as Tom, Maoi, or Michael Hutchence from inXS 👀. I think why don’t they create something new instead of documenting what other people are doing; as the process is slightly like nihilistic containment, to reverberate unhappiness and decaying community/societal values 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm so happy to see that the most watched part of the video is when the first chorus comes on and the dance starts. That dance is one of the best I've ever seen. Love syncs with the lyrics.

[@ziweiyuan]

Grimes's ability to plant a melody in my head for weeks at a time is borderline terrifying.

[@gregorygregory9719]

You mean the Techno god I_o for planting the melody in your head. She only sang the lyrics...

[@tssdr9419]

“Weeks at a time” obviously implies that this isn’t the only song they were referring to

[@ziweiyuan]

It's a true collab, Gregory. Grimes has primary credits as both writer and producer on this track and her stylistic fingerprints are all over it. I'm not taking anything away from I_o, I hear his influence too, but this isn't just his song. I get it, though. These days when you see a singer they're usually just the face of the operation, and are backed by whole teams of songwriters and producers. The people doing the real heavy lifting are in the background. Grimes, however, is a true artist and is as DIY as they get. She wrote every word and every note on her first three records, and only shared credits on two tracks on her fourth (one with Aristophanes and one with Janelle Monae). She has a talent for writing killer hooks and that is what my initial post refers to.

@@amon1677 facial expressions when dancing is already pretty hard to control. Simply smiling through an entire dance is hard enough for someone who's not a dancer.

@Esneyder Toledo 'We Appreciate Power' 'is the most successful based on what?

[@redplague]

@Esneyder Toledo Well you're wrong about charting as it isn't the most successful. I'd like to see your source on sales. In terms of streaming that's not an accurate judge as streaming is lot more popular now than it was when Visions was released.

[@redplague]

@Esneyder Toledo I've just had a look on Spotify and it certainly isn't the most streamed there. 13 million compared to 66 million for Genesis. In fact WAP is the 6th most streamed, not the 1st.

[@redplague]

@Esneyder Toledo That's right you didn't say it was the best in everything, in fact you initially said Genesis was the best. You said it was the most successful based on various things. You said charts, streams and sales. You're now saying visits however I have no idea what that means. You can weigh up all kinds of end of year lists but Grimes's other songs have been in various end of year lists. In conclusion there are a few songs such as Oblivion, Genesis and Flesh Without Blood that have achieved better than WAP in all or most of the parameters you're using to define 'most successful' so therefore there is no basis to declare it as such.
