Video: SIX Creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss Break Down the Show's Lyrics

♪ We're taking back the microphone ��

♪ I'm gonna raise my voice ♪ I don't remember specifically when this line

kind of came into it all, but taking back the microphone was always a kind of

like a tagline that we had like from the beginning, because it was very like pop's concert version

of like reclaiming the story and like rewriting historical narratives. Yeah, and this is like in the remix

which is of I Need Your Love, one of the last songs. And it's kind of a reference back to ex-wives

When Catherine Parker goes and they pick up a pen and a microphone. Yeah, exactly. And then she goes

we're taking back the microphone. It kind of encapsulates the whole message for sure

It's about reclaiming the space and using your voice and taking back the narrative

Yeah, it's what sex is all about. What it's all about. ♪ Everybody chill, it's totes God's will. ��

I feel like this is one of the things that like when we were doing Don't Use Your Head, you just like, so I went back into the docks over there to have a look

and there's this like giant list of like puns and jokes and things that are like things from history

and historical terms combined with like text speak and things like that

And this was like one of the many, many ones that were listed there. We just then just like slotted into the lyrics

Quite pithy. Yeah. Says a lot in this format. Yeah, it's really, it's taking the pith

A bit tattooed on her legs. Hehehe. ♪ I look more red than Lutheranism. ��

This is my favorite line. Really? Yeah, whenever people ask me what my favorite line is

it's always this one. And it's because when we first wrote Six, I'd never like written anything ever. And I did a lot of like directing

like other people's like comedy shows and like helping them with their scripts and being like, oh, this kind of joke should be here, la la la

And I remember when we got to this being like, it being like, you know, like a joke, you know? Yeah

And also because I'm a big history nerd and like obviously that it being kind of like radical

like Lutheranism. I remember writing that being like, ha ha ha. It is very obviously like a joke

Do you remember when it used to be Lutheranism? I do, yeah. Was that for the whole of the student production

I don't remember. It was like, all eyes on me, no criticism

I look more rad than Lutheranism. And then we were like, that's

No, I feel like maybe. That's not even a word. I feel like I was like, it's Lutheranism

And you're like, no, but it's better than it rhymes. Was I? And I'm like, okay
