Silk Chiffon — Muna feat. Phoebe Bridgers // But I’m a Cheerleader (1999) dir. Ally Pankiw // dir. Jamie Babbit

“it’s been about seven years now since muna started playing music together. we were three queers at a fratty university and we bonded over things like having t*rrented the gay cult film “but i’m a cheerleader” in the privacy of our childhood bedrooms. today we’re putting out a new song “silk chiffon” and a video for it where we got to inhabit the colorful, twisted, tender world of that movie and the characters in it. silk is an innocent love song. it’s not a love story where somebody dies or gets betrayed at the end. it’s a song to which you can skip through sprinklers or have your first kiss with someone new.” - Katie

When you see a woman in a tight skirt, and her long, beautiful legs; or perhaps she’s in the bathroom, putting lipstick over her full lips; or maybe in the locker room, soaping her body, rubbing her breasts - you don’t have any unnatural thoughts?
