All bow down - Missy is just amazing. The video is visually her at her best, great dancing, eccentric looks and cool tricks (watch for her to spin like she has two faces), with a bridge featuring Team America-style marionettes as Pharrell raps and gets his freak on. Hilarious.

The world is a better place when Missy is making her kind of music and videos.

I binged on Missy the other day, and wondered “when’s she going to put out something new?”

Dayum, she still has it.

New Missy is always a good thing. Pharrell could potentially sub-contract all his public appearances from now on to that scarily-accurate marionette.

When I saw Missy on The Voice a few weeks ago, I wondered if something new was about to drop. And then that she was collaborating with Pharrell on both - of course!
