Olsztyn, Poland
There are at least two bands called The Lollipops.
1. A pop group from Denmark in the 1960s.
2. A young Polish five piece from Olsztyn. They play a mixture of fifties, sixties, and noughties. The blend between alternative rock (sometimes even post-ish) rock and roll, maybe even rockabilly and everything in between. They call their sound simply as melody and dirt.
The band was formed around 2008 and since then they've managed to record two demo compilations and one single play (which gained media attention from nationwide radio stations such as Trójka) and much recently put down debut album with great help of Maciej Cieślak and Marcin Bors. Some 5 months after Hold! release their lollipop fame secured them place in Off Festival lineup and 30 minutes of fame supporting Grinderman in Wroclaw. There are rumors about possibility of fall tour.

tell me is it how you feel,
you've got white shirt, black skirt
and all the stuff but tell me, now is it real.
You think I'm blind, cut it, whats's up with that
you know, I've seen the things that you can not imagine
do you wanna try to join me in this pleasure
it's not, what you wanna be,
before they put you in another teenage story,
better shut them up, go fly, enjoy the glory
Open your mind, check what's up in the line
open the fire, set the new desire
good girls they do what we want them to do,
but good girls they know that the sky is not blue.
Good girl...
That the sky is not blue.
Head over feet,
tell me is it how you feel,
you've got white shirt, black skirt
and all the stuff but tell me, now is it real.
Boys treat you fine,
but they're so colorblind,
and now thing you can do change your life forever,
stop now, shut up, think twice and say whatever
Open your mind, check what's up in the line
open the fire, set the new desire
good girls they do what we want them to do,
but good girls they know that the sky is not blue.
Good girl
Good girl
Good girl
I know you want it, cos you're right...
right, right, right and right, such a good girl.
The Lollipops's song Good Girl is a call to rebellion against societal expectations on young teenage girls. The song starts by urging the girl to introspect whether she is actually content with fitting into the mold that society wants her to fit into - a clean cut, obedient, and subservient good girl. The singer urges the girl to shed her façade and join him in the pleasures that life has to offer, insinuating that the girl is suppressing her desires and wants.
The lyrics continue to make a case for defying social norms and breaking free from the preconceived roles that society has set for young girls. The song highlights the double standards and hypocrisy that exist within society, where boys can do as they want and girls are forced to be submissive and conform to societal standards. The song implores the girl to stand up for herself, fly, and enjoy the glory that life has to offer.
