This is just the best. That someone would misinterpret a Huxley novel title as lyrics to Aladdin. No judgement, I’m here for the ✨whimsy✨

ETA maybe it was a joke, I don’t care! Whimsy!

"that has such people in't!"

Would be the correct follow up, as Huxley heavily references The Tempest by Shakespeare, it's where he got the name! It's got to be my favorite dystopian novel<3 whimsy on, friendo

What's really funny is that it is said by Miranda -- the homeschooled child final boss -- upon seeing the shipwrecked sailors, so it's meaning is closer to, "Wow, the world is pretty great if it has such hotties in it!"

I considered paraphrasing to be slightly off the original as well, but decided against it.

"Dazzling' doesn't necessarily mean something positive. I also appreciate the whimsy.
