We were pretty much given free reign to pitch for any song on Macky’s latest album, and Active immediately drew us in. There’s such a mad energy to the track, and that chorus chanting ‘Work it” immediately brought to mind one thing: stripping. What else?
More specifically, it made us think of being stuck in a boring office environment but having this creative need bubbling up inside you. That same energy that the song has, but you have no way to let it out. In fact, the main character has such a need to live his stripping dreams that objects that involve stripping or rhythm around the office eventually tip him right over the edge and he just goes for it...
Here’s a fun fact: if you’re reckless in testing stripper trousers in pre-production, friction burns can happen. Here’s another fun fact: ointment can only help friction burns so much.
I wish I could say those facts were unrelated.
