Clearly, this song is an expression of the phenomenon of intellectual enlightenment, by way of metaphorical comparison to the well-known experience of sexual intercourse. The song portrays enlightenment as overwhelmingly positive, with an almost childish underlying simplicity to it. One should make note of several subtle tendencies that are alluded to in the song. For example, the fact that enlightened thought is facilitated by objectivity, and thus the bias in intellectual circles towards objective expression, is shown through the very particular ("It felt so good when I did it with my penis"). The notion that institutional reception credits pure understanding over flair and subjective profoundness is expressed through the section that reviews the circumstances of the sexual accomplishment ("doesn't matter, had sex... still counts"). The song refers to the phenomenon of emergence from ignorance and the simultaneously trivial and profound preference for enlightened existence ("and I'll never go back"). The female body as a facilitating entity is also used to extend the point about the almost paradoxical dichotomy of understanding as both extremely simple yet profound ("I'm so humbled by a girls ability to let me do her"). The song also suggests by example the importance of verification and information sharing towards advancing thought ("I called my parents right after I was done"). The video shows the process of transcendence from skepticism to popular acceptance, as the singers first are greeted by the disgust of their partners and the bewildered shock of onlookers, before graduating to an extatic chorus of acceptence by the end of the clip. The firework homage to Katy Perry demonstrates the process of generalization of understanding and applying it in ways that are personally meaningful. The choice of characters in the film, both the world-wise master rapper and the pair of eager novices, show that through the eyes of wisdom, all people have equal standing. |
