I can't get this song out of my brain by Chappel Roan.
I keep playing it, does anyone else?
😍
AIBU.😱

We LOVE this song!! It holds so many memories for our family, and every time it comes on the kids and I all sing and dance along, even 18 year old ds 🤣

pontipinemum · 26/07/2025 23:35

I love it!

Those saying it's bad that little girls don't know what they are singing along to. I know now half the songs I sang along to the the 90s/00s were not what I thought they were about

It's a fun, catchy song and the lyrics go right over kid's heads. Though it's about a gay bar where's she's dancing on the dancefloor, presumably. More importantly it's about discovering a place where you can be loud and proud of who you are - 'Where boys and girls can both be Queens, every single day.'

It's a great song, though my favourite is probably 'Red Wine Supernova' or 'Feminominon' (sp).

Rick Astley’s version is excellent.

Don’t know about this. Thank you.

That's not really what it's about at all. It's about her move to California from the arsehole of nowhere and finding a gay bar where people can perform and be themselves. She says it is the first place she felt she could be herself and saw loads of other queer people in a safe space.

It's based on a real club called The Abbey. It's not at all about stripping but i see how people can infer that.

I’ve assumed it’s about stripping, and pretty much change the channel when it comes on when my kids are in the car, the lyrics feel totally ‘yay I was born to be a stripper dancing on a table’

I love the song so much. I have sang it (badly) on karaoke a few times.

Oof. That’s a bit like trying to sing a Kate Bush on karaoke.

I'm not familiar with the story of the origins of the song, nor am I particularly interested. But looking at the lyrics of the song it's pretty easy to see how someone might infer that it's about a strip club. Regardless of whether that's accurate, one can see why someone would think that. It doesn't really take much imagination.

Pregnancyquestion · 26/07/2025 22:45

I love it. I love the whole album and It’s not about stripping but even if it was the songs I used to sing when I was younger! I remember singing about a woman having to feed her son by sleeping with a man for a little bit of money cause his daddy’s gone, somewhere smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown… think it goes over kids heads lol

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 26/07/2025 22:45

Love it, and the whole album - not a dud track on it. I sing “Orange kitty club” to our cat 🐈.

ThisCheekyHazelSheep · 26/07/2025 22:43

This has been stuck in my brain for two months! 'pink ponyyyy cluuub imma keep on danciiiiing' it's on repeat, is there a support group? I need help 😆

Neweverything25 · 26/07/2025 22:40

Oh dear, I heard the song and thought it was by Taylor Swift so thanks for enlightening me! I obviously didn’t listen when they mentioned the singer on the radio. It is very catchy, isn’t it!

This exactly. I lived around the corner from The Abbey, the gay bar this song is about, and it was 90% make but no judgment and pure hedonism and no female stripping that wouldn’t have fitted - and she reminds me of Kate Bush, her voice and also her being a walking work of art.

No, I went right off her when I saw a clip of her pushing a member of staff at an event and thought, what a vile person.

SAME! I know it sounds daft but her comments on children (where all the people she knows who have kids are miserable) really wound me up too - more so because an ex-friend of mine whose sole tik tok account is about child-hating/living her best "childless" life used these comments repeatedly on all her posts 🤣

TeenLifeMum · 26/07/2025 22:23

My favourite is coffee but we’re Chappell Roan fans in this house. Going to see her at Reading with our 3 teens (who seem to like hanging out with us).

Lovelyone1 · 26/07/2025 22:21

I prefer her other songs. I'm from the same town as her and now living in Bedfordshire :)

Ahh I just saw the title of your thread and started singing it. Now it won’t go away. Thanks a lot, OP! 😁

Was just going to say the exact same thing! Arrrggghhhhhh......
It's the worse tune EVER!!!!! I'll probably have this sodding earworm when I wake up in the morning now!🤦‍♀️😅🤣

ThinWomansBrain · 26/07/2025 22:18

Never heard it, but there's a really naff track that was on desert island discs THREE weeks ago that is still earworming its way through my brain.
