Kanye West Power Video Spoof Transforms Song Into Frat Boy Anthem
By Seraphina L.
Kanye West is all about being epic. He won’t stand for anything less. That ego of his cannot be bruised and he does all he can to pamper it. So when he finally released his video for “Power,” the first single off of his upcoming album, (formerly titled Good Ass Job and possibly now titled Dark Twisted Fantasy), we were expecting him to go overboard. He did exactly that, but he didn’t make a regular video. Instead, it was more of a moving painting with still images such as Michaelangelo-inspired figures to angels and swords added into view.
Well, Mr. West. It looks like your grandiosity has been watered down, but not actually so much with water. It’s been dulled down to the average frat boy anthem with an emphasis on alcohol. In a spoof by Freddy Wong, “Power” turns into “Power Hour.” Lyrics are centered around keg stands and beer pong with the images changing accordingly as well. Watch the spoof below!
The chorus by Wong repeats the words: “No one touch those drinks cuz they ours / How you tipsy? It’s only been 2 hours” followed by the chant “Pour me one more drink / It’s power hour.” We knew power hour can hit you fast but who knew it could have such an epic theme song now?
Watch the original from Kanye if you haven’t seen it yet. The spoof is underneath.
