Artist: Pink
Song: Raise Your Glass
Bad Lyrics “Don’t be Fancy/ Just Get Dancey/ Why so serious?”
When I first heard this song I began rocking out to it like I normally would on a Pink song (for example So What). Because I tend to use Pink songs as my pump up/work out songs I was expecting a lot from this new song on her greatest hits cd. Yet I was surprised at how terribly written the song is. Yes, I know this song is catchy and very classic Pink. However these lyrics are so bad and they come up multiple times within the song. Pink later sings “If your too school for cool/ and your treated like a fool.” I mean seriously? My niece who is three years old could probably have thought of better rhymes than this. Dancey is not even a recognized word! I know its not the first time people have made up words for songs but in this case it is a hindrance. I expected more from you Pink. I really did.
"Too school for cool" doesn't even make sense. Couldn't it have been just the normal "too cool for school". Get better song writers.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jason on this! Sometimes things are phrased a certain way because they make sense, I'm not a songwriter but in these instances I wouldn't try to reinvent the wheel.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, is it wrong to admit that I really like the beat of the song?! lol
