The Popular Song
MIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular bitch
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
'Cause I'm putting down my stories in a popular song (La la)
Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar,
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
I was 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 toilet now its you that cleans 'em
You tryin' to make me feel bad with the shit 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
Said that's the only thing I've learned at school
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
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 that fugazi
Here's the one thing that's so amazing
It ain't a bad thing to be a loser, baby!
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
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were (That's all you ever need to know)
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 (That's all you ever need to know)
All you ever need to know
Mika's "Popular Song" seems to be an anthem for anyone who has ever felt out of place or inferior, particularly in their youth. The song takes on the insecurity and pressure that comes with being youthful and not feeling "popular." Mika describes how he never fit into a certain mold and was never recognized as popular, unlike the girl who he seems to be addressing in the song. He talks about how he's worked hard to make sure that his stories are heard and how they've become a part of a popular song now. He mentions how she was always popular and had a way of making him feel bad, but now with his song being popular, he's the one who's making her feel inferior. He also admits that he's faced some bullying and harassment from her, but he's managed to succeed despite her best efforts to bring him down.

@@primrazonable6161 Rich and famous:
From child star to world wide pop-star. From catholic to satanism. From just a singer to a sell out. From amongst the living to amongst the dead.
There is 1 interesting thing which is always missing; nones never CHRISTIAN.
They are religious, who move from 1 religion to another, but nobody comes out from lies(darkness) and into the truth(light).
The road they always on:
From catholic to satanism
From Jehovah witness to satanism
From Islam to satanism
From Hindu to satanism
From atheism to satanism
From ignorant to satanism
