Célébration
DJ r2 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday I'm gonna be famous, do I have talent well no
These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab

'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can throw a major fit
When my latte isn't just how I like it
When they say I've gone insane
I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with
Being a celebrity

I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters when things don't go my way
And I'll get community service no matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids, they'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up

'Cause when you're a celebrity
It adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can fall in and out of love
Have marriages that barely last a month
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on the fame
And say it's just so tough
Being a celebrity

So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of the fun and the sun
We'll be real world bachelor jackass millionaires
Hey hey Hollywood here we come

'Cause when you're a celebrity
It adios reality
No matter what you do




People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV

Overall Meaning

In DJ r2's song "Celebration," the lyrics satirically portray the life of a celebrity and the misconceptions associated with fame. The lines "Someday I'm gonna be famous, do I have talent well no / These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows" highlight the notion that in modern culture, one can become famous without necessarily possessing any specific talent. The subsequent lyrics sarcastically describe the allure of wealth and fame, referencing the desire to date supermodels, sue one's dad, and undergo dramatic failures such as wrecking a Ferrari en route to rehab.


The chorus, "Cause when you're a celebrity / It's adios reality / You can act just like a fool / People think you're cool / Just 'cause you're on TV" emphasizes the idea that once someone becomes a celebrity, they can act in any way they want and will still be perceived as cool, regardless of their behavior. The following lyrics suggest that with this newfound fame comes a sense of entitlement, giving the celebrity the freedom to throw a tantrum over a latte, and subsequently blame the pressures of their fame when they are criticized.


The lyrics of "Celebration" are a commentary on celebrity culture in modern society, cleverly highlighting the often unrealistic expectations associated with fame. The song implies that the lifestyle can be alluring, but it comes at a cost to one's personal life and, in many cases, one's sense of reality.
