Katy Perry - Dark Horse PARODY Key of Awesome #85

Katy Perry wrote a whole song called Dark Horse without actually knowing what the expression "dark horse" means, but Juicy J and a friendly Sphinx are here to give her an English lesson.

Lyrics:
Oh no.
Juicy J:
These lyrics are wack! "dark horse" means
an unknown challenger who comes from behind in a competition, yo.
It don't mean having magical powers or have anything to do with ancient Egypt. Didn't anybody proofread this?
Whatever, Juicy J. Katy Perry.
Let's get paid
Katy:
I'm really smart
I know about histories This work of art
is a documentary
John Mayer is a jerk who lied to me
He's not a Mayor
of anything
I am a witchy Dark horse
Sphinx:
You don't understand metaphors
Katy:
Yes, I do! It's what happens when you metamorph
I took a course
In wordometry
Baby you could be my locksmith
cus having safe sex is what I'm all about
But don't you ever try to milk me I'll chew and spit you out
just like a mad cow
Sphinx:
Nope.
Katy:
I'll make you quake and cower
Sphinx:
Where's she going with this?
Katy:
By using my horsepower
Sphinx:
Wrong! F!
Katy:
I get condoms from a trojan horse
Sphinx:
Can someone explain all the horse expressions to her?
Juicy J:
I can help with dat
Uhn a rocking horse
That's for a kid
A talking horse
That's Mr. Ed
Be careful
Stretch after exercise
Or you could get a charley horse that cramps up both your thighs
Don't put the cart 'fore the horse or
You'll do things out of order
When you think it's the same but turns out different
That's a horse of another color
A one-horse town has a small population
If you hold your horses in music that is called a retardation
Miley's already
Working with Nelly
Justin got Jay-Z
And if Gaga wasn't with R. Kelly
I'd change horses mid-stream
You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make him drink
You can lead a horticulture
But you can't make her think.
Katy:
The rest of you can get the eff out
I don't even care what a meta is for
I think I should end this song now I don't want to flog it like a dead horse
Sphynx:
Wait!
You finally got one right
A! Plus!
My heart of stone is filled with pride
GOLD! STAR!
Katy:
I see the light at the end of the horse?
Sphynx:
Yeah that's close enough

[@AKSaleh.Official]

The Hoodie Guy what is it mean? i don't get the joke!

+A. Kamal F is the worst grade you can get at school in the US. Katy gets an F as a huge real life letter in the hand of the Egyptian guy at the beginning of the video because she doesn't understand horse metaphors. At the end of the video Katy is so angry at Juicy J for making fun of her, that she is saying "the rest of you can get the F out" where F is usually a shorthand of "f**k" in common language as a cursing, but since the guy from the starting scene still carries the real life F, it becomes a joke when the camera showing him taking the letter away. :)

[@LED816]

The point of the parody isn't just about using metaphors. It's about understanding horse phrases and how to use them whether they're metaphors, similes, or idioms. Yes, they are emphasizing metaphors in the beginning because the first phrase she gets wrong in the parody "I am a witchy dark horse" is a metaphor, but she goes on to say things like "... I'll spit you out LIKE a mad cow." Then the Sphinx clearly says "can some explain all the horse EXPRESSIONS to her?" Sorry, just got tired of reading all the "but that's not a metaphor, it's a simile" comments.

[@LED816]

Wanted to add that a rocking horse, mr. Ed, and a Charlie horse aren't metaphors either. They're literal things. And mad cows and safe sex don't have anything to do with horses. It's not solely about horse metaphors, just that Katy perry is an idiot who has no clue what the hell she's talking about lol
