Need some neon lights, wanna feel like I'm electrified, so help me out
Get your boyfriend's car, come and pick me up
Oh, let's take it for a ride
What trouble can we find?
One night and we're gonna come and crash the party
Weren't invited but we're feelin' so outrageous
Got one night, and we're gonna come and get it started
Now we're falling down the stairs, we act so shameless
(Come on, let's lose control, like!)
One night and we're gonna come and crash the party
Weren't invited but we're feelin' so outrageous
Just like we're famous
Got one night, and we're gonna come and get it started
Now we're falling down the stairs, we act so shameless
Just like we're famous (oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Just like we're famous
Blown up like balloons, purple glitter flying through the air, oh
Sweat drips from the roof, hangin' out with Lucy in the sky of diamonds
Music playing loud, take me through the crowd, oh
Put your sunglasses on, don't care if we look dumb
One night and we're gonna come and crash the party
Weren't invited but we're feelin' so outrageous
Just like we're famous
Got one night, and we're gonna come and get it started
Now we're falling down the stairs, we act so shameless
(Come on, let's lose control, like!)
One night and we're gonna come and crash the party
Weren't invited but we're feelin' so outrageous
Just like we're famous
Got one night, and we're gonna come and get it started
Now we're falling down the stairs, we act so shameless
Just like we're famous (oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Just like we're famous (oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Just like we're famous
One night and we're gonna come and crash the party
Weren't invited but we're feelin' so outrageous
Just like we're famous
Got one night, and we're gonna come and get it started
Now we're falling down the stairs, we act so shameless
Just like we're famous
Just like we're famous (oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Just like we're famous
The song "Famous" by Charli XCX is about a Friday night adventure with a friend, where they are bored and looking for excitement. The singer wants to feel like she is electrified and needs some neon lights to make the night feel special. She convinces her friend to pick her up in her boyfriend's car, and they set out to find some trouble. They crash a party they weren't invited to, and they feel like they are famous because of all the attention they are getting. They act shameless and lose control, just like famous people do.
The lyrics suggest the need for instant gratification and a desire to be famous, even if only for a night. The song captures a sense of youthful rebellion and living in the moment, taking risks without considering the consequences. The lyrics also suggest holding on to the moment since they are aware that it's temporary and will quickly come to an end after one night.
Overall, Charli XCX's "Famous" is a fun and catchy party anthem that captures the feeling of being young and reckless, living life to the fullest and having fun with friends.

the video isnt about "technology", its about the power and control of the media.
if you turn off your devices and observe it all from a third person perspective, then you see whats really going on.
the media effects everything you do from what you wear, to the way you dance, and the trendy things you say.
ultimately, the media controls you if youre too involved.
the big guy at the end represents how all sources of media are controlled by a single power, a single group.

@warofmankind
+Kultrun what do u mean nah
you stupid kid shes talking to u on the videos
superficiality thats what these kids do 99.6 of the time of social media
following kylie jenner???
for what reason??!?! shes not a singer/dancer/actress
again superficial.
make up artists getting 1mil+ ...again...
the idea of following someone on the internet.....again superficial ....if you was to do that in real like that be stalking/harassment
the video has a slight message but its overlaid by the accompanied generic pop sound
@muskulpeasent
Perfect irony is that charli xcx realizes she makes cheesy pop songs but still she is self aware and it makes it somehow intelligent in essence. I am starting to love her.
@googleaccount-nm9zz
desecraitonsmile Can you explain the clip to me?
@ichimatsu4247
@@googleaccount-nm9zz Things look glossy on her phone, in YouTube videos, and even in Charli XCX songs and videos. Whenever the phone dies she just sees things as ugly (which might imply they are ugly in real life, or maybe that they are just less glamorous.) The second half of the video lost me. Except that she seems to plug her phone into a powerful charger (which is also grimy and disgusting) at the end, but it gets too much energy, and she dies happy by getting too exposed to the nice things she sees on her phone. The emojis might be her cheap feelings
@billihawk368
No man, I love it, Boom Clap are so Epic...
@wdjkncvgdfsbyt34jgvi
@@ichimatsu4247 years late but thats just an explaination of the video what op means is that charli might write seemingly cheesy or mindless pop songs but shes incredibly intelligent and wants to make music thats fun and brings joy to people, while behind the scenes having full control and is 46 times certified platnium, not to mention platnuims for her song writing credits
@VabbbeDicaaa
Intelligent? Lmao, this is just crap. Simple as that
@aurulupus
I hate it when the ghost of emo kids come into my room while I'm watching YouTube videos.

AuruLupus 😂😂😂😂😂 i hate when i have an electric overdose and emojis came out my head.

AuruLupus sounds horrible

Okay but are we gonna ignore how charli literally predicted YouTube’s ad algorithm with the “AD 1 of 2” over 5 years ago??
