So here it is. Enjoy!

Watch on YouTube

Ha. I love Chappel Roan so dang much.

Have you seen Rick Astley doing Pink Pony Club?

[colls]

I find it hilarious that the poll is evenly split. LOL!

(at it is at the time I'm making this comment)

[conuly]

I have not!

Also: will text later, if only so I remember to put your number in my phone :)

[conuly]

Half those people are obviously wrong.

i've never seen an official lyrics videos, just fan (user?) made ones. but i'm pretty sure the few i've seen say lyrics in the title.

[conuly]

That's what I thought too, because it's the obviously correct option, the word "lyrics" is a plurale tantum, and then I took a look.

Its so good! I follow him on TikTok, and that is where he posted it.

And ok! Don't forget! :D I stay up sort of late, but one of my favorite kids at work has a sociology exam tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be at work a little early, but thats still not til noon so I will probably be up a while longer. Send a text so I can send you cute Freyja pictures! And this one side by side I have of Chris/Sethy and Topher/Freyja. Its CRAZY.

Lyrics, unless there's only one, like some Alleluias, but then why would you bother?

A "lyric video" makes me think of some particularly artful rendition -- "lyric" being an adjective modifying "video". That is probably not what people mean. :-)

[conuly]

Oh god it is good.

I got distracted with fucking laundry, but I'll text now.

[conuly]

Right!?

Buuuuuuuuuuuut wikipedia suggests that the plurale tantum form came later.

I have Hildegard Von Blingen's lyrics for Pink Pony Club that I perform in Lord of the Rings Online occasionally. :-)

[historicalmuse]

It's lyrics and I love Chappell. <3

[lizziey]

Right?? His song Lights Out is one of my favorites. For all he's become a meme, the man really can sing.

It was good catching up a little! :D

[bluapapilio]

I had not seen the lyrics video! That's so perfect. 😂

[conuly]

I'll have to text again later. I don't know if it's allergies or what but I'm so tired this week.

[agoodwinsmith]

Thank you.

"Lyrics video" is semantically correct, but "lyric video" sounds better--it flows melodically better, so I could see why she'd go for that spelling as a musician. It's more lyrical. It's her. The queen is never wrong.
