Margo Price has performed the gentle, acoustic version of "WAP" we all knew was coming

At three and a half minutes into the clip, Noah and Dulcé Sloan discuss “WAP” and, after talking about how unfair it is that men are applauded and women are condemned for celebrating sex in their music, air a broadcast of Price playing the track from her home to show how different the song sounds performed by a white country singer.

Price’s version keeps all the lyrics, but slows it down and turns it into something way more depressing in the process. Like every “clever” open mic performance from the mid-aughts, the acoustic version is kind of funny in how jarring lines like “head game is fire, punani Dasani” or “ride on that thing like the cops is behind me” are when sung in an anguished voice over gentle strumming, but it’s also extremely dumb, no matter how talented the artist performing it may be.

And yet, we’re glad it exists. The mournful acoustic cover of “WAP” was inevitable. It had to happen eventually because it’s too obvious a joke to pass up. Since it was only a matter of time, we’re glad it’s Margo Price putting her all into the cover rather than some goofball half-assing it on YouTube.
