Popular Song - MIKA



Umm... what did I just...?

Well, the video was awkward. It reminds me of a very cliche' movie. It must be a Disney show song, because Disney is literally that cliche. They are bullied by the popular kids, and as a result, they concoct a potion to turn them all into stone. Then, they smash them all to little bits with a dinner plate. Must have been some cheap stone. They stare at you the whole time too. With this look of eerie monotone apathy.

The song itself is pretty repetitive.

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 

The message is the same old message mentioned time and time before. You know, the one that never holds water.

Always on the lookout for someone to hate,Picking on me like a dinner plateYou hid during classes, and in betweenDunked me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans themYou tried to make me feel bad with the things you doIt ain't so funny when the joke's on youOoh, the joke's on youGot everyone laughing, got everyone clapping, asking,"How come you look so cool?"'Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school, boy (uh huh)I said that that's the only thing that I've learned at school

In other words. If you are a bully, you will always grow up to be doing hard manual labor at a dead end job, while the bullied is the one succeeding at life. While this may happen in some cases, for the most part, many people who are popular are able to succeed in life better because they have more connections. You know, while they are jerks, popular kids have their own hopes, and dreams, and ambitions. So chances are, they do succeed. While the bullied kid may become depressed, and have self hatred because of being bullied. and not make it in life.

Although bullies are more likely to become criminals and wreck havoc, the amount of bullies who simply don't make it in life can't be numbered. They are probably slightly higher then people on average.

Standing on the field with your pretty pompomNow you're working at the movie selling popular corn

Popular... no. Just, no. Never again.

The tune is pretty catchy, but this song probably does not deserve 36 million views and 400,000 likes. I would give it a 2.5 stars out of 5.
