This could link to the main character being a rich, American socialite who was very superficial and the most popular girl in her school. The chorus of the song states: "I'm so fancy, you already know". Intertextuality gives the music video/song a deeper meaning and I think that Iggy Azalea used the intertextual reference of 'Clueless' to emphasise the lyrics of the song. Iggy uses the outfit to immediately show to the audience she is referencing and remaking the scenes from clueless. Also, Iggy Azalea is 24 years old which means that 'Clueless' might have a been a film she watched or was influenced by growing up. The main character in Clueless, Cher Horowitz, is famously known for her mustard yellow tartan outfit that she wears in the film. Iggy's music attracts an audience of late teens to mid-20's which matches the target audience of the 'Clueless' film. It not only appealed to teens in the 1990's but still remains popular amongst them now. The iconic 1990's classic, 'Clueless', was very popular among teens as it showed the story of an American socialite who loved fashion. The music video makes intertextual references to the film by imitating the scenes, clothes, characters, camera angles, settings and even the font of the title. The 'Fancy' music video shows intertextuality by being based entirely around the film 'Clueless'. It suggests that she is ready to fight like Rocky was ready to fight when he was training. Katy Perry has written this song with the purpose of empowering her audience and her intertextual reference to the film within that specific lyric gives them a deeper understanding into the meaning of the song. In a boxing match, the boxers act as two predators fighting for the title of who is better. "Eye of the tiger" links with the idea of fighting because tigers are predators in the jungle that fight each other for power and hunt their prey.

The original song was created by a band called Survivor.
#Rocky song lyrics eye of the tiger series
The 'Rocky' films are a series about an aspiring boxer and the main actor, Sylvestor Stallone, of 'Rocky III' wanted a song that could be his characters (Rocky) training song. It is a well-known phrase because it is the theme song of the film 'Rocky III'. The song was written with the purpose of the audience knowing the meaning of the phrase "eye of the tiger". The line "I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter" in the chorus suggests a deeper meaning. The intertextuality in 'Roar' is within the lyrics.
