Lee, Ben - I Love Pop Music Lyrics






I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to

The price of oil is at an all time high and rising (yeah)
Global warming threatens life as we know it on this planet (ohh ooh)
And leaders have not committed to a plan of action on renewable energy
The food crisis is currently affecting a hundred million people world wide

I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to

Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone

There are over 6 billion people on this planet and not enough fresh drinking water (we're in trouble)
Religious intolerance creating geopolitical instability (shine a light)
Politicians battling each other like professional wrestlers (ooh)
Further division is not the answer, division is not the answer

I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to

Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone

Turn up the radio

Greed and fear seem to be the driving forces of modern life
We're encouraged to consume and consume with no thought of where it all comes from, and where it all goes
Our lives are accelerating as we fall out of touch with nature and ancient myth
We're desperately in need of a brand new dream

I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to

I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
(Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone)

I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
Philosophy that you can dance to
(Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone)

  1. g.... r....

    last time I hear this was when I was in preschool wow

  2. A.... D....

    2020: 98

  3. P.... 3....

    Pop music is the most fakest “music” genres out there. There using computer beats to make it like a “sound”.

  4. D.... S....

    i love song this...

  5. R.... P....

    He writes awsome songs.... this one brightens my day!

  6. S.... B....

    As much as a big message about society is supposed to be shining through here, this isn't Lee's best. The only song bit about it is the chorus. The rest is just talking with no rhyming in it. Disappointing, considering this was from the album after Ripe. But hey, at least What's So Bad (About Feeling Good)? is pretty decent.

  7. J.... B....

    I had never heard on Ben Lee before, I literally typed I love pop music and this came up, not bad

  8. R.... F....

    Great Job Hope you get a small loan of a million dollars

  9. C.... e....

    F***ing LOVE this song!

    C.... e....

    “Oh shit dat me.”

  10. J.... B....

    Beat this James Arthur you emo domesticated DAGwood dog

  11. G.... X....

    Cant tell if I like this or not! Is it being sarcastic? Is he genuine? Great tune but then goes on a School House Rock rant in the middle. I am a fan of his Tornado album. Interesting none the less.

    G.... X....

    School House Rock rant? What remote island do you live on where this information doesn't apply? A decade later and this song still applies.

    talking heads

  14. f.... ....

    Ben lee is my favorite artist and this is the first song I heard by him a few years back

  15. Z.... M....

    @Simran Khataw this is something

  16. N.... M....

    The single most pretentious git ever to grace the earth

    N.... M....

    Someone's a butthurt right-winger.

    N.... M....

    Hahaha! I'm a democratic socialist with discerning taste in music actually. If you want decent music, head to www.facebook.com/adldnb

    N.... M....

    @Automated Mike Res ipsa loquitur

  17. D.... I....

    Great song and video, but is there a higher res version somewhere?

  18. S.... D....

    Love this! 100% social freedom!

  19. X.... ....

    Filmed in my home town 

    X.... ....

    Is that Rosewood?

  20. M.... F....

    Why do people hate this song so much? If you can't hear the irony in it you must be deaf. 

    M.... F....

    Nope, not a trace of irony. Just a pretentious, self righteous egomaniac in the guise of a pretentious, self righteous egomaniac hipster wannabe.

    M.... F....

    Matthew, it's because people simultaneously have fear and jealousy of happiness and good things. Those people are insignificant losers. Never mind them.

    M.... F....

    I just don't like it because it's only half a song. What should be singing is replaced with normal talking that doesn't rhyme at all.

    M.... F....

    C J jealousy of happiness?? WTF!!!

  21. T.... I....

    IGNORANCE IS SPREADING

  22. W.... ....

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It’s politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it,
    philosophy that you can dance to

    The price of oil is at an all time high and rising (yeah)
    Global warming friends life as we know it on this planet (ohh ooh)
    And leaders have not committed to a plan of action on renewable energy
    The food crisis is curently affecting a hundred million people world wide

  23. T.... ....

    If Ben likes pop music he is a pleb

  24. M.... ....

    I know a girl who would lay him. Whatever his sexuality and she is sexy to boot. Her curves sway to his music. She is sensitive to rhythm and poetry generally. Even I would if I was single.

  25. f.... ....

    I heard this song while I was shopping at Zara in Bologna, Italy and it was so catchy! Many kisses from a new Italian fan Ben :)

  26. B.... W....

    This is probably the worst and most annoying song i have ever heard

  27. J.... Y....

    I don't listen to T Pain at all I never even heard of him until you said it, fatty bum bum!

  28. C.... S....

    yup, fattest around. Sooo fat it would make you jealous. You on the other hand, probably listen to stuff like T Pain and shit like that. Need I say more?

  29. n.... ....

  33. J.... Y....

  34. J.... Y....

  35. A.... T....

    it's ok to be gay lets rejoice with the voice

  36. A.... T....

    77 people hate pop music

  37. g.... ....

    The bit i like the most is when the bull stepped back and was like WTF!

  38. m.... ....

  58. s.... ....

    This song plays at work and I hate it soooo much that I swear one of these days I'm going to end up killing someone because of it!!!!!!!!

  59. S.... O....

    Love this song and love Ben Lee! Please let us know if there the great guy is bringing out any new music because it is awesome!

  60. d.... ....

    Go aussies :P

  61. J.... ....

    I don't know why, but I got this in my recommended videos.

    Never heard of Ben Lee, but I like it, keep making nice music, you've got some talent.

  62. F.... W....

    i seriously only listened to this crap for missy higgins' beautiful voice lol!

  63. p.... ....

    Ben Lee can SUCK MY BALLS!!!

    And Missy Higgins on backing vocals can fuck right off too!!!

  64. o.... ....

    OK. i think I have it figured out. It only seems like poser music at first if you are a terrible cynic. Ben is aware of this and deliberately plays with his own naivette. He is aware that the world sucks, but at least we have a call to action to make things better. It's a weird honor thing you wouldn't expect. It is truly "childlikie", but not as simple as some might think, only more so? I give up. fuck it man, just be happy

  65. t.... ....

    I know there are a few different takes on what the song's meaning is, but I believe it to be very simple: music (or in this case, pop music) is what brings people together (uniting people instead of dividing them, as Ben exclaims, division is not the answer!) - in spite of war, strife and human suffering. "It's politics you can romance to, philosophy you can dance to"

  66. R.... R....

    I love how this isn't staged and he just went around Rosewood to all the locals. :P His music is great. :'D

  67. C.... A....

    these are some good beach listening songs!! :)

  68. A.... L....

    @fgv112 yeah well, regardless of my opinion of Ben Lee, the fact of the matter is he's making piles of money and living his dream, while you're trash talking and spreading homophobia on the internet. Woo, how impressive are you? *sarcasm*

  69. K.... B....

    @fgv112 Grow up, and learn to better use the English language.

  70. p.... ....

    A lot of pretentious noise!

    And Missy Higgins on backing vocals can fuck right off too!!!

  71. N.... A....

    ROSEWOOD i go to school where he is...

  72. F.... ....

    This is a fantastic song!!!! An awesome video! I love that he's playing in the street, but not collecting money, giving flowers and cupcakes to the listeners! LOL! Awesome! Philosophy you can dance to, indeed :) the more familiar I get with Ben, the more I like his music!

  73. C.... ....

    wooot rosewood ftw wooot if you know where rosewood is omg i went to rosewood high my friend met ben lee wooot

  74. F.... ....

    I love his scarf. I really like this song.

  75. a.... ....

    @fgv112 paha. okay then. you totally won that argument big boy.

  76. T.... S....

    Where is your home town?

  77. J.... D....

    hes a bit of a try hard...

  78. u.... ....

  79. D.... B....

  80. V.... F....

    liberal idiot

  81. D.... B....

    this is soo cute :)

  82. D.... B....

    ok, makes sense xD

  83. j.... ....

    i got linked to it

  84. D.... B....

    so why are you listening to it?!

  85. j.... ....

    yeah this is such a terrible song

  86. A.... T....

    Kocotini, I noticed that myself. I just had to laugh.

  87. 7.... ....

    okay i watch this every month and i read the comments and if i had a dollar every time a read "OMFG that me on the scooter at 2:54" i would be SOOOO RICH and not just on this clip but on all the ones on youtube its piss week

  88. M.... C....

    hey every body! look the world is in the shitter but i love pop music! right?! lets dance! my body is eating itself alive cus i have no food but i love pop music, by god im going to die soon. la la de da. About 350 people died in the time you took to watch to this video.

  89. L.... ....

    i love pop music!!!

  90. j.... ....

    global issues

  91. t.... ....

    you're really dense.

  92. j.... ....

    get his name right!

  93. t.... ....

    flaccid.

  94. f.... ....

    flaccid96? its flacco96. look whos the idiot now dumbass. der der der der

  95. t.... ....

    flaccid96: shut up you fuckin idiot

  96. R.... S....

    I think he means the ideas expressed. They're in line with some of the things he expresses in liner notes, etc. What may be ironic is whether such thoughts can be marketed in a pop world.

    The musical/rhythmic differences are quite stark. That's telling us something; the question is what.

  97. J.... U....

    i want the lyrics XD
