Musical Monday - P!nk "So What"

Dear P!nk,
Darling it has been a long time since your last CD. As you may know, I have a bit of a thing for you. I've been to the 2007 Berlin concert, as a VIP even, and hey, I love the way ya give baby Bush hell.

I know you've been working on something. Of course I expect it to be littered with text reflecting your troubled relationship (Oh geeze, I can't even remember who... some race car driver I think).

I seems the first single was actually "leaked" before it was planned to come out. Perhaps it makes sense for your music company to "leak" these things themselves thus creating more buzz and maybe causing more people to get excited about the impending CD release.

Supposedly the single wasn't going to come out until 18 August with the CD coming out sometime in late October. Seriously... do they WANT people to head to the torrent websites to illegally download songs? I mean, there is no way that I will buy a "maxi CD" with only one or two songs on it. And if I really want a song, I will probably not wait two months for the CD. Yup, the single will be mine by illegal means long before the CD even comes out. Something tells me that I'm not alone in this.

The song.
Hey girl, I like your attitude.
It is an after-breakup song where the main theme is "So What, I'm still a rock star!". This shows that the best way to lick ones wounds is to thumb your nose at the offending person.

Prepare for the hooky chorus. You might be chanting it all day long, beware.
So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight

Musically it is what we've come to expect from Pink; driving beat reminiscent of some kind of stomping fit, hard-edge electric guitars with scream effects, and multi-layer track recording where Pink does her own back up vocals.

Enjoy the video, it seems to be the precursor to the real thing with pictures of the making of the official video. Don't miss the lyrics down below.



I wonder what the deal is with riding a lawn mower down the Sunset Strip?
Does it have something to do with her ex being a race car driver?

P!nk "So What" Lyrics

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

I guess i just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So i'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (Nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And i'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rockstar
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

Uh, check my flow, uh

The waiter just checked my table
And gave to Jessica Simp- Shit!
I guess i'll go sit with Tom boy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
Then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
He's gonna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
We're all gonna get in a fight!

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

You weren't fair
You never were
You weren't all
But thats not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there
You let me fall

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done (we're done)
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright(I'm alright),I'm just fine (I'm just fine)
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

No No, No No
I Don't want you tonight
You weren't fair
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

Ba da da da da da
