Iridaceae Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 someone else said heaven is a place on earth OOOOH BON JOVI!! Like "livin on a prayer", right? That's a CLASSIC SONG and if I were Mika I'd be pretty darn happy with that Yeah, that's the song. Thanks, I couldn't remember the name of it.

ewokwicket Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I get what you mean lol I personally love the bit "who gives a damn about the family ou come from?".... It IS very teenagey, I can understand the HSM comparison..."teenage dreams in a teenage circus, running around like a cloud on purpose..." but it just sounds so happy it just fills me with pure happiness Can't wait to hear the entire song...!! I hear clown not cloud, that would make more sense with him saying circus. It's officially grown on me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sienna Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We are not what you think we arewe are golden, we are golden teenaage dreams in a teenage circus running around like a clown on purpose ??? who gives a damn about the family you come from No giving up when you're young and we want some not sure tho:teehee: Yeah! It reminds me of february 07 when I first heard grace kelly. and the feeling that came with that song. I'm so excited about the whole song:wub2: Thank you for the lyrics! And yes I definitely got that GK feeling! Belinda Carlisle??? Heaven is a place on Earth??????????????????? OMFG!!! Yes, actually! Aaaaaggghhhh!! A Teaser!! I don't know if I should succumb to this teaser or not... contemplating.... it's nothing like the first time hearing a song... and I really don't want to spoil it.. but i so can't wait for monday!!!! I hate this dilemma So how did you do in the end???? Just listened to that clip and I love it. Excited or what :boing: Agree! No doubt for me either, instant love!

Romis Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Am I the only one who thought of a coca cola ad when hearing it? I don't know what to say I'd wish a Mika song could be in a Coca Cola ad! It would be amazing Anyway, it's a bit too Bon Jovi for me, I don't really like it. But if I hear the whole song on monday my opinion might be completely different of course someone else said heaven is a place on earth OOOOH BON JOVI!! Like "livin on a prayer", right? That's a CLASSIC SONG and if I were Mika I'd be pretty darn happy with that My brother was standing right behind me, and he started to sing: "Ohhh we're half way there / Ooh OOH Livin on a prayer ♪" I thought we were the only ones who thought that! And yes, Belinda Carslile's song is almost identical in some parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sienna Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yes!! The clip is something I didn't expect. And now it all makes sense, I mean the whole idea about album being about his teenage years. Everything seems so clear now It's going to be a masterpiece How can this little clip of music have an effect like this? I feel I can't take this anymore, I can't wait anymore!! I wish I could listen to it over and over again, but I need to travel, because I changed my holiday plans so I could be on-line on Monday. Monday... Thanks for posting this!! Because you're a Mika fan! As simple as that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Agree! No doubt for me either, instant love! That's what I thought too. I love it already! And we haven't even heard it yet...

Christine Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Only four letters will suffice here....OMFG!!!!!! First listen I was literally like this , in fact I thought it was a joke, it sounds nothing like Mika and who is the kid with the Cockney accent?? And I thought, Mika has regressed to chewing gum jingles. I was shocked. I had a cheesy image of Zac Effron dancing in front of my eyes........... After a few listens I have focussed in more on the beat, the piano backing and the rock overtones..all positive things. I think it will grow on me, a bit like fungus Not sure about those lyrics either . I reserve the right to completely change my opinion of it after hearing the whole thing on Monday! French Deb..thank you for posting. Yes, me, everything exactly...well except the 80s pseudo-rock thing is all a bit too cheesy for me. I didn't like it in the 80s and I like it even less now. But... Confusion (joke) > Cockney accent > Jingles > Zac Efron > Anyway I already love the intro. I find it very amusing and it's no more bizarre than "I wanna talk to you", etc. If people start banging on that this is genius I think I will probably end up getting viciously critical at some point but otherwise I'm just going to enjoy it in all of its teenage summer musical silliness.

lala_lollies44 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Wow, I'm never sleeping in again! I had to catch up on quite a few pages! First of all, T4P!!! When I heard the beginning I was really weirded out, but then I remembered that I had the same feeling when listening to Lollipop for the first time and Love Today. It's sort of like "I can't believe I'm listening to this..." but in a good way...if that makes sense. When I listened the 2nd time, I was jumping up and down and yelling the lyrics. It made me feel happy, carefree, and even empowered. I can't wait to hear the whole thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melman92 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 ROFLMFAO :roftl: Seriously though! I can totally see it,with the kids smiling and drinking coca cola and there'll be like a play with the lyric "not giving up when you're young and you want some" so of course the kids will also fight for the coke I'd wish a Mika song could be in a Coca Cola ad! It would be amazing Well,he's getting there! I wasn't saying this in a very good way though..compagny usually uses good music (of course) for their ads but I said it to point out the kinda cheesy feeling it gave me. But I really need to hear the whole thing before actually being able to say anything I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axie Dentelle Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I absolutely don't like the beggining... The piano sounds like it's in a completely different rythm from the voice, and I find his voice a bit annoying there:aah: I like the chorus though, and the end of it... But I definitely need to hear it all.I was expecting something more, but I won't say anything else:aah: 100% agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yes, that bit is good. The thing is, my reaction was like this: , which speaks volumes for Mika doesn't it? That was kind of the effect LICM had on me when I first heard it. The very fact he can surprise, shock, and make us question, is all good. People will not be able to NOT have an opinion on We Are Golden. It is going to be adored, or loathed. Long live Marmite! I am pretty sure by Monday night I will love it . Totally agree with all of this. I think the worst thing we could ever say about a Mika song is - Well, it's OK. That would be worse than hating it. I think it will be the Umbrella of 2009. People won't be able to stop singing it and will get so sick of it, but STILL won't be able to stop singing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me feel happy, carefree, and even empowered. I can't wait to hear the whole thing! Yes! Me too. I remember the first time I heard the full album version of Lollipop, with the 'hey, what's the big idea, yo Mika!' thing. I thought, erm, wtf is this? I don't like it. After a couple of listens I loved it. I don't think WAG is going to be on my Top Ten Mika Faves list but I can already imagine it growing on me. The thing that bothers me most about it is the close similarity in the chorus with Heaven is a Place on Earth, and also with Livin On a Prayer, a bit. I can just see that grating on me in the long term, and of course, the critics are going to jump straight on it and slaughter it for that .
