Pitchfork: It looks just like the snake from Britney Spears' performance of "I'm a Slave 4 U" video at the 2001 Video Music Awards. Could it be the same one?

Grimes: It's actually a different python. I wish it was the same python. I was specifically referencing her performance in this video. That was one of Britney's best moments.

the opening is just like Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There so I think you're right.

edit: plus I hope this doesn't need spelling out but the kid on her left side in the above pic = reference to kandi kid/club kid culture of the 90s with the haircut, jeans, dye job.

But the teenagers on ATRL always try to deny its impact.
