He is based on the Ballguy enemies and shares some of their attributes, such as constant movement which makes them harder to control. J Balvin / Willy William: “Mi Gente (Remix)” (2017)īut his actual relationship to such sources could be hard to read: Was Maus poking fun at music’s power to manufacture an emotional response, like when we find ourselves crying in the middle of a commercial, or celebrating its potential to offer us a fleeting moment of ecstasy, a glimpse of a world that is better than our own?
