La la, la la You were the popular one, the popular chick It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms 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 story in a popular song I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song My problem, I never was a model, I never was a scholar, But 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 So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go So 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 You hid during classes and in between them Dunked me in the toilets now it's you that cleans 'em You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do It ain't so funny when the joke's on you Ooh, the joke's on you Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking, "How come you look so cool?" 'Cause that's the only thing that I learnt at school, boy I said that's the only thing I learnt at school My problem, I never was a model, I never was a scholar, But 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 So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go 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 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 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 It's all you ever need to know
@@chefandmusician9170 julissa had said that THIS exact song was originally made by wicked, which is true in a sense but also not. THIS song is sampled, which means it is heavily inspired by the original, but this, is NOT the original
Of couse... it's a revenge song. MIKA suffered bullying at school... this is his way of saying "you loosers, look where I am now and you are just selling 'popular corn'.
Time to voice my opinions :D While I most definitely wouldn't of liked this version in the album 'cause its too fast paced and upbeat compared to the rest of the songs, I do love it as an individual track. I don't see why everyone is complaining about it, its a great remake of the original song :)
i prefer the original, to be honest...but i do really like this. MIKA is always reinventing his sound. it's fantastic to see change and growth in an artist's career :)
I love how they incorporate bits of "popular" from Wicked the musical! This is gonna be stuck in my head forever!
Now?
This aged well.
This song is basically about holding grudges and loving yourself I love it
Lesson learned here is dont mess with a 11 year old that's got more talent then you have cousins.
Oh yesss
This song aged so well. I am beyond happy for Ariana Grande.
Isn't it ironic how "popular" this song is, yet underrated
I love this song! MIKA and Ariana Grande make such an awesome duet!
Verissimo Duo fantastico😇😇🤗🤗❤️💋💓😳👍👍👍🇮🇹
just listening to this song makes me realize how much I tried to fit in or be popular but the only thing I needed was to be myself
NutellaLover 1720 Yeah XD
i know right
i know right
i know right
i know right
Mika Best singer ever...
+Ole Winter Together with Ariana
love it,mika has such a nice voice its crazy non of his songs even sound slightly similar
this song needs to be on the radio and be popular.
in love with mika's voice!!
So catchy I have been playing this for about a hour now!
La la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms
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 story in a popular song
I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But 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
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So 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
You hid during classes and in between them
Dunked me in the toilets now it's you that cleans 'em
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking,
"How come you look so cool?"
'Cause that's the only thing that I learnt at school, boy
I said that's the only thing I learnt at school
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But 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
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
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
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
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
It's all you ever need to know
Thankx
