90’s Nostalgia – Was Whigfield a Satanist?

On the topic of 90's nostalgia, this post briefly highlights an unlikely discovery that was recently brought to my attention concerning the video for Whigfield's 1994 hit 'Saturday Night'. Whilst sat around in a friend's living room for a small get-together earlier this summer, said video appeared on the T.V. switched to some crappy freeview music channel. Mid-sentence, my friend Will suddenly stopped and announced that he had caught a glimpse of a horned beast amidst shots of Whigfield singing into a hair-dryer.

Although my initial reaction was to slowly inch away from him in the fear that he might be going all Linda Blair on us - sure enough, in the video Whigfield appears to be engaged in an act of idolatry with a picture of a man made to look like the devil. The following are mostly single frame shots that pop-up in the video. When seen together, they arguably convey a subliminal message of devil-worship.

Obviously, I felt compulsed to share this strange and wonderful bit of 90’s music trivia.
