eloise.shaw Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I've had this song in my head all day! MIKA'S RAPPING/TALKING MAKES ME LAUGH COS IT'S FOR FUN. I REALLY LIKE IT. The chorus, big thumbs up from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy_Queen Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I totally adore this song, the more I listen to it, the more cool and great it seems to me. It would be awesome if there was a vid for it (of course, with Mika in it!) I know it won't be made so popular( ) to shoot the video, sadly... but it is one of the best songs for me.

macboll Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I agree Priscilla sounds great. Exactly the right kind of voice for this song. As for Mika's drawl-rap, the rubbishness is balanced by the fact that he's singing about not being cool at school, and we know that the ability to rap/MC well is seen as ultra cool among kids these days (all the popular boys at my kids' school are good at it:wink2:). So it makes perfect sense that Mika can't rap I totally agree with you! And Christine and you shared my opinion about Priscillia: I am surprisingly impressed by her part! It's my second favourite song and I was not ready to listen to Mika rapping, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basicamenteyo Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 You all have noticed how when Mika talks about the loads of people he´s worked with he never mentions her, havent you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macboll Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 You all have noticed how when Mika talks about the loads of people he´s worked with he never mentions her, havent you?? Didn't he describe her as the one who fell asleep in the studio and afterwards wanted to sing and get rid of Mika (if I'm right, it's what he said in Milan or London, one of the prelistenings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) i'll give it another try with the new lyrics. could need some help again though, with what she says in the beginning of the song - and then that middle part i also don't understand everything... here's what i get: (...?...) Mika Rap Laa laa, laa laa You were the popular one, the popular chick It is what it is now, popular b*tch Standing on the field with your pretty pom-pom Now you're working at the movies selling popular corn I could've been a mess but I never went wrong 'Cause I'm putting down my stories in a popular song Mh, Ah, Oh Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song My problem I never was a model I never was a star but 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 hid during classes and in between them Dunk me in the toilets now it's you that cleans them You're tryin' to make me feel bad with the sh*t you do It ain't so funny when the joke's on you Ooh, 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 learned at school What? Uh-huh So that's the only thing that I learned at school My problem I never was a model I never was a star but 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 call him crazy, lazy A faggot or (...?...) Here's the one thing that's so amazing It ain't a bad thing to be a (...?...) 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 All you ever need to know 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 All you ever need to know You're only ever who you were (repeat) Edited September 14, 2012 by mellody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejay Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (...?...) Mika Rap Before the next time that you call him crazy, lazy A faggot or (...?...) Here's the one thing that's so amazing It ain't a bad thing to be a (...?...) The first part sounds like 'Psychotic Barney Mika rap' to me, but that doesn't really make sense. The line at the end is 'It ain't a bad thing to be a loser'. And I can't make out the words after the 'crazy, lazy, a faggot or...' part. Also, in the pre-chorus I think the words are 'I never was a starter', not 'star but'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 It could also be "forgazi" which I believe means the same thing - "a fake" according to Urban Dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerLujka Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 as a hard core musicals and especially Wicked fan, I have to admit that I jumped through the roof when I first heard a snippet of this song :wub2: I can't say it's my fav of the album, but that's just because there are so many good songs that it's hard to pick just one; but this one is deffo dearest to my heart thanks for posting the lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milda Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I don't remember in which thread, but I've read that people don't expect to hear Mika singing this song live. Don't you think that Mika needed Joy in his band so she could sing Priscilla's part? Popular is one of my favorites and I would love to hear it live someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
