Popping Culture: Kiki-ing it up for the weekend

It’s no secret that I have a great love for the Scissor Sisters’ song “Let’s Have a Kiki.”

But it recently came to my attention that someone has made the song even better by putting together a crazy video edit featuring snippets of Paris Is Burning, Phantom of the Paradise and even Ana Matronic emulating the mating dance of a bird.

This video is marvellous. Happy weekend, everyone!
