DescriptionAn explanation is provided for the magical basis of love songs in which women adopt the perspective of anacondas. Just as anacondas seem to attract their prey effortlessly, so too will a woman be able to attract her desired one, if she sings as an anaconda. This explanation preceded an example of a song performance featuring such a perspective.
