One Direction

Colbert's response to this British pop band winning a VMA:

‘You don’t know you’re beautiful. That’s what makes you beautiful’

First of all, great dating advice. Remember girls, low self-esteem: very attractive to men. Guys always go for the low hanging fruit, okay. Easy pickings.

Second, the lyrics are incredibly complex. You see the boys are singing, “‘You don’t know you’re beautiful. That’s what makes you beautiful,” but they've just told the girl she’s beautiful.

So since she now knows it, she’s no longer beautiful. But it gets deeper. She’s listening to the song too, so she knows she’s not beautiful. Therefore, following the syllogism of the song, she’s instantly beautiful again. 

It’s like an infinite fractal recursion. A flickering quantum state of both ‘hot’ and ‘not'. This lyric as iterated algorithm could lead to a whole new musical genre. I call it ‘Mobius Pop’.
