Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Sacrilege. By Songfacts®.

The first single by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from their Mosquito album finds Karen O singing about "falling for a guy" with a "halo round his head." The track was premiered on February 25, 2013 on Zane Lowe's UK BBC Radio 1 show.

The bombastic, epic song's concept of the violation of the sacrosanct is emphasized during its outro as a 24-piece gospel choir takes the song to a spiritual climax.

The video stars British model turned actress Lily Cole as a promiscuous character who has a number of affairs with local residents (you might have seen her in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ). None of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs members make an appearance in the conceptual clip.
