"So What"

 

Na na na na na na na na na na na na [x2]

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,

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 rock star,

I got my rock moves,

And I don't want you tonight.

(Uh check my flow, aw)

The waiter just took my table,

And gave it to Jessica Simps (shit!),

I guess I'll go sit with drum 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 there,

You never were,

You want it all,

But that's 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,

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

No, no, no, no

I don't want you tonight,

You weren't there,

I'm gonna show you tonight,

I'm alright,

And you're a tool,

And your a tool,

So, so what,

I am a rock star,

I got my rock moves,

And I don't want you tonight!

WHY DID WE CHOOSE P!NK's song, SO WHAT FOR OUR PRELIM VIDEO?

There were so many opinions we had for our prelim music video. After some time researching 3 of our own favourite artists and genres, we then narrowed them down to one each then looked further into the meaning of each song. In the end we chose P!nk because we felt that she always tells the truth through her music along with a huge attitude. This help with her genre of music, pop punk and also helps her stand out from most artists.

The next steps was to pick a song from her playlist. We chose 'So What' because its loud, honest and fun. I think we took a risk with doing this since we decide to use different children's cartoon films to illustrate the lyrics that P!nk was saying. The great thing about using different elements the children's cartoon is the variety of shots that what got throughout our promo. From panning to close-up to the Ken Burn effect. This all helped created interest for our target audience.

Another element that we enjoyed this single is the pace of the song. It's not slow and perhaps boring neither so fast where the audience may not understand the song nor the story that is being portrayed

 

 Overall, we used P!nk's single, So What because it tells a true story along with still being fun, energetic and puts her story across.
