sotd: Gossip – Pop Goes The World

Yesterday, I was talking with my friend Deb about Gossip’s new amazing album, and we totally agreed that Pop Goes The World is totally poised to be a new anthem for the gay rights movement!!!

I posted it in last week’s 5SF, and to be quite honest, I CANNOT get enough of this song!!! Have another listen:
[See post to listen to audio]

These are the lyrics, and I have highlighted my favorite “get out there and fight for our rights” parts:

Find yourself in a situation
Can’t talk your way out of
Stimulate the conversation
How do you rise above
You try to tell some one
But you can’t describe it
We’ll start a demonstration
Or we’ll create a scene
Make noise from our frustration
Newspapers, magazines
We’ll turn them on their heads

You can’t deny it

For once
We’ll do what come naturally
We’ll approach it casually
With no apology
For once
We will have the final say
Goodbye to yesterday
‘Cause we know we’re hear to stay

Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New sensation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New creation

Give every generation
A different set of rules
We’ll start with TV stations
The radios and schools

Just try to have some fun
And don’t get caught
We’ll capture their attention
We’ll make them quite aware
Of all of our intentions
We’ll make ‘em stop and stare
They’ll take a second look
On second thought

For once
We’ll do what come naturally
We’ll approach it casually
With no apology
For once
We can have the final say
Goodbye to yesterday
‘Cause they know we’re hear to stay

Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New salvation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New translation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New elation
Pop, pop, pop goes the world
New sensation

Their new album is AMAZING, and grows on me with each listen. Beth Ditto rocks my face off. Do yourself a favor and check it out if you haven’t already!

Corndogorama: Day Two In Review

A later start on Sunday meant the first act that I caught was This Piano Plays Itself on the second stage. Based solely on the soccer shorts that several of the members were wearing, their "wall of sound" post-rock hit be entirely by surprise. Via an overwhelming number of ...


Free Magic Remixes Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun

As I'm sure you've gathered, I'm not often into the remix culture when it comes to casual listening unless I've got my heels on and an adult beverage in hand. I do make exceptions for a handful of dancey tracks including the latest remix from Free Magic. (You ...
