You’ve got the vengeful girls, and the object of Iggy and Rita's hatred, played by actor Michael Madsen, was actually in Kill Bill. As far as movie tributes go, this is a clear parallel. Iggy, is this your new thing? Reenacting cult movies? This is starting to be too much of a good thing. I’ll say what every other music blogger is saying, this video is channeling serious Kill Bill vibes. That song is the standard people now hold her to, and right now it seems like she’s establishing a pattern. Of course, she's released music before "Fancy," but for her casual fans, we're just living in the post-Fancy era. This is her first solo song since “Fancy” became the hit song of the summer and it doesn’t do much to define her as a unique artist. I’m probably the world’s biggest fan of Clueless, so I loved the Fancy video.īut Iggy should be careful with how much she imitates. There's a lot fun in picking up on her references-especially when they cater to our nostalgia. Pop culture is inherently referential and Iggy's most-watched video to date, for "Fancy" with Charli XCX, is an outfit-by-outfit play on Clueless. Let me be clear: I’m not saying that this video is bad because it mirrors a lot of pop culture.
