All the women who independent and also anyone else who would like to do so: Feast your eyes on the clip for "Don't Call Me Angel." Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey team up on the lead single from the forthcoming Charlie's Angels remake (starring Kristen Stewart and I guess also some other people) and while they are wearing angel-like wings for most of this video, they respectfully ask that you do not, and I cannot stress this enough, call them angels.

It's hard not to compare it to the 2000 film's classic theme "Independent Women", especially when Miley brags about writing cheques and sings "All my girls successful, and you're just our guest." But does "Independent Women" have Lana Del Rey throwing a knife at a practice target's crotch and carrying a whole roast chicken around on a fork? No. It does not.
