mandilambi Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ok... I haven't had time to read this thread at all so I don't know if people like it or not... but here's my take on it : I abso****inglutly freakin' LOVE IT!!!!!! Listened to it like 100 000 000 times yesterday. Makes me want to jump on the kitchen table and dance and throw glitter around. And what I notice is the more I listen to it, the more I like it. LOL Vero...what a great way of stating it. That's how I've felt for the last 24hours too. Truly this song gives me the same emotions that I felt when I first heard Grace Kelly. Wanting to jump up and down while singing every word and feeling almost empowered by the lyrics because at one time or another I had felt put down by a particular group or person. Mika has such a gift for writing lyrics that you are able to relate to. Not only that, but he does these types of "kiss off" songs in such a classy way, I love it. I've probably listened to this song at least 15-20 times. I simply can't get enough since yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura* Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 hahaha I love your smilies but why fighting? here, we all seem to truly like each other, as if being a Mika fan would make us forget all the differences and the fact that we barely know the other people That's really funny I was actually thinking about thousands of new fans. hahahaa (thanks for taking up all the smilies*insert angry smilie here*)You are forgetting post gig depression smilie Unforgivable.

xlindee Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I agree with nearly all of this - except it's the verses and unexpected falsetto bits I don't like and the chorus bit I do like Marmite Same here. Yeah, it's a very cute interview . I still can't believe that he's gonna be dancing in his underwear in the video ahhahaha. Do you think that he'll get new pants or will he use the good ol' faithful grey Gaps? Well, ofcourse the underwear must be golden. I must say, this video description sounds very gay EDIT: I just picture Bruno dancing Oh Lord no:lmfao:I didn't like that movie that much, though some bits were funny. It took me a very long time to find the interview and I feel stupid now that there's links everywhere, haha. Your siggie:lmfao: I really hope he will sing WAG on his shows, imagine only his voice, not the whole choir! Yeah, it would show his voice much better!

sariflor Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well, ofcourse the underwear must be golden. Please nooooooooooooooooooo !!! The golden boxers and the golden Loboutins, singing into his hairbrush but why fighting? here, we all seem to truly like each other, as if being a Mika fan would make us forget all the differences and the fact that we barely know the other people That's really funny I am coming to the Argentinian gigs from now on instead of the home ones then . Believe me, you wouldn't be saying this if you'd witnessed half the asses that I have seen at Mika gigs, trying to f*ck other people over and just generally being assholes towards everyone. It's quite an eye opener, really. I'm in two minds about whether it'll appeal to teenagers- I think its more one for people looking back on their teens, which is what he's doing, I suppose, even if he's a lot nearer than me. The bit about "running around like a clown on purpose" rings a bell and makes the dreams... circus bit part of the whole. Otherwise I wouldn't be so keen. I've been singing it all day- hopefully not aloud- loving all the slowing up and shouting! I think the lyrics are interesting, but basically I find it such a rush- so exhilarating. I keep seeing myself headbanging to it, which is a worry (though probably incomprehensible to actual teens) I had to quote the bolded part because I think that you make a great point there. And yes, I have also caught myself singing the blooming thing all day dammit yeaaaaaaaahIt's hard to believe It's all hand-painted....It's so beautiful It is, I love it!!! I think that it's one of my favs so far. I love the space/sky theme. thanks.today i seem to like it a bit more:naughty: Oh Robi, you are falling already just like me . I think that I'm ahead though, I was falling yesterday so I will wait for you at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I believe that first when the songs go into production and they have to choose which ones to put on the album, people will start to give opinions what reception each of the new songs will get, and which would be a likely single or even a number one. My guess is that Universal was pretty happy that at least one of the 64 pieces he wrote had the quality of a mainstream radio-friendly song ....you know what? If I had been part of the record company team having a say in which song is to be released as the first single, I would have also chosen WAG, despite the fact that it is not in my Top 10 Mika songs ever.. ( I know it might sound like I view it from a business perspecive only, but I do like it, just in a different way: with no emotions attached. ...)

I know what you mean! Maybe this not the place to talk about it but I think that so far, on my own top list of Mika’s songs, SITM is a clear and outstanding favourite. I have been collecting many different versions of that song from different gigs and I never get tired to hear them. That song has, apart from the lyrics, which is a masterpiece in itself, so much variation in it, with his voice, the humming part and the endless ways he treats it on the piano! Just love it!
