Mika feat. Ariana Grande, Popular Song: video ufficiale e testo

Nuovo video per Mika che ha scelto di estrarre “Popular Song” come nuovo singolo dal suo ultimo album “The origin of love”

Nel brano c’è anche la giovanissima (e apprezzata) Ariana Grande che duetta con il cantante, prossimo giudice di X Factor 7. Nelle immagini gotiche -un po’ alla Tim Burton in versione più colorata- i due hanno trovato il modo per rispondere in maniera efficace al bullismo. E possiamo sottolineare senza dubbio che sanno come “pietrificare” il proprio nemico.

Un video divertente e simpatico, per una canzone leggera e decisamente orecchiabile. La presenza di Ariana potrà aiutare il pezzo a guadagnare i piani alti delle classifiche? Qui sotto il video e il testo della canzone, scritta da Mika, Priscilla Renea, Mathieu Jomphe, Stephen Schwartz e prodotta da Mika e Greg Wells.

La la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I’m popular bitch
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you’re working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Cause I’m putting down my story in a popular song
Said I’m putting down my story in a popular song

[Chorus:]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don’t know
Now you’re in the front row
Cause my song is popular

Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do is be true to you
That’s all you ever need to know

Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go

Always on the lookout for someone to hate,
Picking on me like a dinner plate
I’d hid during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilets, now it’s you that cleans them
You tried to make me feel bad with the shit you do
It ain’t so funny when the joke’s on you
Uh, the joke’s on you
And everyone’s laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
Cause that’s the only thing that I’ve learned at school
So that’s the only thing I’ve learned at school

[Chorus:]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don’t know
Now you’re in the front row
Cause my song is popular

Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That’s all you ever need to know
Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up cause you got an awful long way to go

Before the next time that you calling him crazy
Lazy, a faggot, or that fugazi
Here’s the one thing that’s so amazing
It ain’t a bad thing to be a loser, baby!

All you ever need to know
You’re only ever who you were
All you ever need to know
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
It’s not about who you are or your fancy car
You’re only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you.
That’s all you ever need to know…
