It’s avant-garde in an innocent way: the production is tinny and cheap-sounding, and something about Cooper’s vocal just feels off, as if English wasn’t his first language. In the clip, he sits backwards on an old wooden chair and exaggeratedly mouths the words: She say she wanna dance with me/ But she don’t know how. Handy, a baby-faced singer who records as Lucy. For a portion of the video, he wiggles around in a down comforter, like a lumpy caterpillar with a human head.Ī few dozen clips later, there’s an unhinged ballad called “She Say She Wana” by Cooper B. When the song starts, Gods Wisdom’s delivery is coarse and phlegmy and slurred, sounding sort of like chopped-and-screwed screamo or some kind of evil, bedroom-pop approximation of crunk music. It opens with footage of sitcom legend Roseanne Barr talking about the CIA mind control in Hollywood. There’s a homespun video for a sort-of rap song called “Christian Dior,” for example, that was made by a 22-year-old named Ruvi Ender Arnold, who records as Gods Wisdom. Dark World’s YouTube page is easy to get lost in.
