Here’s What Bill De Blasio Should Have Played at His Victory Party Instead of Lorde

Last night, Bill de Blasio walked on stage at his victory party held at the Park Slope Armory to—yes, we’re serious—Lorde’s “Royals.” If you haven’t heard the song, or Rick Ross’ remix, or Raekwon’s remix, it’s pretty simple: the 16-year-old New Zealand artist sings about the luxurious lifestyles of the rich and the famous. People also thought it was racist. Here are the lyrics:

But every song’s like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin’ in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room
We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody’s like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don’t care, we aren’t caught up in your love affair
