Lyrics.
Three important rules for breaking up:
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time and haven't been too serious
There's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company
But if you're honest and direct and avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news
The boy will respect you for your frankness
And honestly, he'll appreciate the kind of straight forward manner in which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby, you will remain friends
I'm head of the class
I'm popular
I'm a quarter back
I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch
I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I got a cheerleading chick
Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Johnny Football Hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper
I'm the party star
I'm popular
I've got my own car
I'm popular
I'll never get caught
I'm popular
I make football bets
I'm a teacher's pet
I propose we support a one month limit on going steady
I think it would keep people more able to deal with weird situations
And get to know more people
I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
He won't mind, he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
I'm sure he'll like it
Everyone will appreciate it
You're so novel, what a good idea
You can keep your time to yourself
You don't need date insurance
You can go out with whoever you want to
Every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours
If you'll just listen to my plan:
The Teenage Guide To Popularity
I'm head of the class
I'm popular
I'm a quarter back
I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch
I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I'm a cheerleading chick
I'm the party star
I'm popular
I've got my own car
I'm popular
I'll never get caught
I'm popular
I'm the teacher's pet
I make football bets

I was already subscribed but KZbin refused to show this to me until it was advertised. Do not reward the advertising department wrongs

[@ridesq]

One of my favorite things about this song is how the verses sound like they’re rushed to finish before the refrain kicks in. It makes it feel like there’s pressure and tension.

[@electricmtnboarder]

In the early 2000's, I was part of the morning announcements at my high-school. We were able to play music for the 5 to 10 minutes before the morning announcements began. I played the original Nada Surf song at least once a week over the loudspeakers for a year and nobody did anything about it. I guess the teachers and school staff knew a banger when they heard it.

[@FelipeSpadoni-nt8mc]

Yeah yeah same Bro ❤❤

Th-That may be true, but why...? Why go this far? Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but a guilty verdict is all that matters to me. No matter what the cost. I'm a prodigy among prosecutors. Always have been, always will be. March 14, 2:05 AM Prosecutor's Building 12th Floor Hallway Edgeworth: (It's hard to believe that I've been away from my office for a whole month. I hope Detective Gumshoe has been keeping an eye on my office. And keeping it clean. Hm...? The door is unlocked...) Edgeworth: Detective Gumshoe...? (Hm? What's this smell...? It's very familiar... Blood? Wh-What the!?) What's the meaning of this!? ???: Freeze. Edgeworth: Identify yourself. ???: .................. Shut up. Edgeworth: Hmph. You've got some nerve, committing murder in a prosecutor's office. Is that a threat? ???: ... Edgeworth: ...Let me make one thing very clear. ???: What? Edgeworth: No one gets away with committing murder in my office. No one. ???: ............ Edgeworth: My name is Miles Edgeworth. And I work as a prosecutor in my local district. Little did I know that upon my return home after a month abroad... ...I would be thrust into a multitude of cases, and some very frantic and busy days. March 14, 2:56 AM High Prosecutors' Offices Room 1202 Edgeworth: ......... Forensics: I've finished photographing the victim's body, sir! Edgeworth: Very well. Please continue your investigation. Forensics: Yes, sir! Edgeworth: ......... ???: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Mr. Edgeworth, sir!! Are you OK, sir!? Edgeworth: Keep it down, Detective. This is a crime scene. ???: When I heard that a murder has taken place in your office, I ran up here straight away! Edgeworth: (This is Dick Gumshoe. He is a detective with the local precinct... ...and the one they assigned to handle this murder case for the time being.)}} Gumshoe: You're looking a little pale, sir! Are you hurt!? Edgeworth: No, I'm perfectly fine. However... Gumshoe: Ack! Look what they did to your office! It's totally trashed! Edgeworth: I'll say. The culprit sullied my floor with dirt rather well. No one gets away with tracking mud into my office. Gumshoe: Whoa! Sounds like you're getting really burned up over this whole thing! Edgeworth: This crime was committed in my office, so it is my responsibility to solve it. Gumshoe: Ho ho! That's just like you, Mr. Edgeworth! OK! Time to do some investigating! Edgeworth: Agreed. Our first course of action is to gather relevant facts and leads. (We must not overlook anything, no matter how small, if we are to find the truth. So I'll keep any leads or information we find etched in the forefront of my mind.) Speaking of things that pique my curiosity... Why of all places did the (Crime scene: My office - Is it really coincidence that the murder took place in my office?) occur in (Crime scene: My office - Is it really coincidence that the murder took place in my office?)? (Hmm... I get the nagging feeling that this is something important to keep in mind.)}} Gumshoe: Yeah, I was wondering that myself, sir... I mean, you can't really say it's just a coincidence, can you? Edgeworth: No, not really. Especially because of this. Gumshoe: The (The office key - For security reasons, this office's door has a lock built into it.)? What do you mean, sir? Edgeworth: If you think about it carefully and use Logic, it should become clear to you. Gumshoe: Logic...? Edgeworth: By finding the connection between two pieces of information... ...and connecting them, new information is born. That is the end result of using Logic. Gumshoe: So how do you use it? Edgeworth: First, I recall information through the Logic Button, and then Connect them together. (Now, to touch the Logic Button and recall the facts.) ExpandLogic Edgeworth: For security reasons, all the prosecutors' doors are outfitted with locks. Which means it would have been hard for the murderer and the victim to get in here. Ergo, it's impossible to dismiss the location of this crime as a mere coincidence. Gumshoe: Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, sir! Edgeworth: (There must be a reason why someone infiltrated my room... (The killer's goal - Why did this happen in my office? What was the killer after?)) Gumshoe: You're really on the ball today, Mr. Edgeworth! That's some beautiful Logic, sir! Edgeworth: Yes, well... When you follow leads to their conclusion, only the truth remains. (However... If the information doesn't line up properly, I may stray far from the truth as well... But if I think carefully before piercing leads together, the Logic should flow.) Well, let's get started with our investigation, shall we? Gumshoe: Yes, sir!

What makes someone popular is their talent mixed with identity. Its all rooted in perspective of society and how we can add to society in the form of entertainment. Spirituality is a form of being popular but its the best form because it helps people in personal ways, not just in generalised ways on mind.

[@BAZOOKAFLOW]
