Wow, how have I never heard of Dorian Electra!!? Seeing their take on Positions really does explode the social factors of the song in a way words can't quite.
Yeah, I do agree that the song (& genre) hits you at first as unpleasant. And that IS the genius (at least in part): you didn't know what exactly felt off with Positions, and then you see Electra & now you're in a terrible nightmare that shows you plainly what lurked below. But I'm not sure that would've come through for me without seeing the video alongside the audio, though....
Impressively, too, it DOESN'T feel like a diss on Ariana, although it does feel about a millimeter from one.

HAHA! A millimeter from one...
If you thought this was interesting you should see their cover of Happy by Pharrell 😫😤!!!
In that one the video was crucial too.
