[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch the video. The lyrics can certainly be interpreted as being an affair with a woman but the video suggests otherwise, which is the singers' interpretation of the song.[/quote]
Thanks to you I went and checked out the music video. I was never curious before. It's a really good video.

My takeaways:
- the wife is "pure" (white dress, white coat, performing a gender role)
- he leaves their bright neighborhood and descends into a sort of underbelly for his thrills 
- he is checking out both male and female strippers as he enters the red-lit club, indicating bisexual
- it's really hard to tell but he seems to be mostly orgying it up with cis women....did I miss something?
- at the end the wife takes off her white coat and her wig, and seems to suggest she's not who she seems to be (nonbinary instead of female? Trans?)[/quote]

I love how far as a society we have come that a song about this kind of stuff (gay/trans/poly/queer/binany fluid) was a number-one chart topping song for several weeks which is still hugely popular. Who would have ever thought? I love the song and also that progression in our society. Although we have still a long way to evolve.

A song about adultery? Those have been hits for a long time.

Not sure I'd want to say that's admirably progressive though.[/quote]
