I know we don’t all agree on Katy Perry (which is crazy; Teenage Dream is already a timeless masterpiece), but if we’re on the topic of music videos about percentages of people, this one is an interesting addition. Plus Hairpin pal Lindsay Robertson screen-grabbed that note. And who doesn’t love a good anguished-wig-cutting-in-the-mirror scene?

(It should also be noted, depending on one’s definition of should, that this song was made long before Katy and Russell Brand parted ways — it actually leaked way back in the low, dusty days of 2010.)

Elsewhere in music: A lovely new Norah Jones track, “Travelin’ On.”
