"Holy Water" interpolates her own song "Vogue" during the track's bridge, with the singer commending "strike a pose" over a rhythmic base. She also offers "orgasmic gasps" throughout the track. Lyrically, the song talks about worshiping cunnilingus, with Madonna comparing oral sex to holy water, and as noted by Billboard Vanessa Grigoriadis, it was named after her lifelong obsessions, since it features "church-baiting innuendos," "juxtaposing Christian imagery with frank sexuality".

For example, Borkenau and Liebler (1992) asked perceivers to view either a silent video, audio video, or just audio of targets entering a room, sitting down, and reading a script. Perceivers provided the most accurate judgements for extraversion and agreeableness with both audio and visual cues; conscientiousness was most accurate with visual cues alone. Interest in photographs has continued to increase in recent years, given the widespread use of these images on social media sites. For example, Naumann, Vazire, Rentfrow, and Gosling (2009) found that perceivers can make more accurate judgments of targets when these targets appear in spontaneous or "strike a pose" photographs than in non-expressive full body photographs.

(where spots must be hit in sequence - the Japanese version's name for this minigame, "Ichi Ni San-ba," is a pun on counting to three in Japanese).

This mie is most strongly associated with the character Kamakura Gongorō Kagemasa, the hero of the play Shibaraku, and is said to have been invented by Ichikawa Danjūrō I. Two mie cut by the priest Narukami, in Narukami Fudō Kitayama Zakura, are the "post-wrapping pose" (, Hashimaki no mie), in which the actor wraps his arms and legs around a post, column, or long weapon such as a naginata, and the Fudō no mie (), which is meant to resemble the Buddhist figure Fudō Myoō, is a very strong pose, meant to evoke anger and power. In Kanjinchō, the monk Benkei cuts the Fudō no mie while holding a scroll (the play's titular "subscription list" or kanjinchō) in one hand and Buddhist prayer beads in the other. Another pose taken by Benkei in this play is the so-called "rock-throwing pose" (, Ishinage no mie), which is meant to look like its namesake. The term tenchi no mie (), or "heaven and earth pose," is used when two actors, one low on the stage and one high above, on a rooftop or other set-piece, strike a pose simultaneously.
