Pet Shop Boys - How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? Lyrics
You live upon a stage, and everyone's agreed
You're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see
So when you take the limelight you can guarantee
You're gaining fame and claiming credibility
Tell me baby are you gonna get high as a kite?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
You live within the law, and everyone assumes
You must find this a bore, and try something new
You're an intellectual giant, an authority
To preach and teach the whole world about ecology
Tell me baby are you gonna make any other claim?
Tell me baby are you gonna take any of the blame?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
(Seriously)
You live within the headlines, so everyone can see
You're supporting every new cause and meeting royalty
You're another major artist on a higher plane
Do you think they'll put you in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame?
Tell me baby how you generate longevity
Tell me baby how you really hate publicity
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
Seriously (seriously)
Seriously, aah
(Do you have a message for your fans?)
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
(Seriously)
Seriously
(Seriously)
Seriously
Aah, seriously

Pet Shop Boys How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? Comments
I remember this in 1990 the best year of all time unless you were there you will never know
Essa versão do clipe é melhor do que a versão do álbum Behaviour.
Simply Excellent.Simply Pet Shop Boys the Best Always.
not one of their best.
1990 I remember it well 29 years ago
alguem mais veio por causa do grafhitao?
My God...Neil is simply adorable. So beautiful inside and out!
Uma das melhores da banda eu acho? Alguém no que concorda no Brasil 🇧🇷 deixe o 👍
Eu também curto muito essa...mas gosto mais da versão que tocava nas rádios em BH na época e!!! 😉
Essa versão e boa mas a do álbum e melhor, melhor álbum dos PSB.
who´s the producer of this mix?
Harold Faltermeyer?
Mixed by David Morales...
@Haris Baki Brothers In Rhythm actually
Yeah exactly anybody looking for threesomes is less likely to to be taken seriously. 3 is a crowd lol
Neil looks so hot here🔥
Love how this video innocently mocks other pop stars of the age
I like this song, but this video and version suck.
Better than the album version.
EN MI TOP TEN DE LOS PET, ESTA SIN DUDARLO
😘👌🎉
Musica maravilhosa, sucesso.
qu'il est beau mais je crois qu'il n'est pas attiré par les filles! dommage!....
I didn't know Chris is such a good dancer
Anyone know the names of the actresses who have water poured on them at the beginning?
Yo los escucho desde 1996
Does anyone know the name of the dancer in the purple dress?
I love ❤️ this song !!!!!♾🎶🎵
This is not the original version. 😢
Com este novo Aranjo esta musica ja era boa agora ficou exelente nao me canço de ouvir e tudo de bom
I would like that sax in the end to just last forever
🙌😘😍😍😍!!!
Neil's hair is so atrocious in this.
Muito bom parabéns !!!!!!!
😍😍😍😍
We r getting older with our artists,but the spirit is still young😁❤️
Adoro essa música todos os dia escuto ela 🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤
Greatest song ! 2019 ! ИМХО !
I love this song! Chris dancing is the best part ❤️
I didn't know Chris was such a good dancer
This song was dedicated to Madona. If you were young in the 80's and 90's you can see why. I love this song so much. I used to have it on cassette tape. Thanks.
Amo o trabalho dessa dupla lembra muito a minha juventude !
Che porcheria
The album version is much better
DEFINITIVAMENTE. EXELENTE PSB!!!
How can you be Dick Cheney Seriously?
Gotta have fun!
Essa música é maravilhosa🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤
Excelente ! canção ! nota 10
Neil is a few months older than myself. We done got old. But we're both still rockin'! YEAH, BOY!
👋 ^ 😊 ^ 👋
Nice parody of early 90's music videos.
Omg Neil ♥
Linda música
Pet shop 😍
This is a remix of the original sample???
Que buena dupla, la equisitez del pop brit
Феерическая шапка Криса Лоу в форме кондома наверное должна символизировать безопасный секс, как традиционный так и нет
*Desde que la escuché al final del capítulo 10 de la temporada 2, de la serie de "Daria", me encantó esta canción* 😍
Very nice video P.S.B..
Neil and Chris funky boys!!!
Very nice ...:-p
ahh man... heard this song when i was in s'pore in the 90s. those were the days. who weer the dancers? that's awesome
LMFAO! @ 0:37 'When the music gets that funky, even Neil Tennant can't stand still [looking cool] as they both normally do, (watch the knees going;)
2019 someone else?
Chris 💕😍
Que epocas .... Unos genios !
How could I forget this song!! I was in my early 20's. So, many memories.. thank you.😅😥
The best ,simply the best
So sexy and he knows it lucky man
Retorno a 1991.
fantastic, marcelo petropolis rj brasil
muito top
Album exelente
Amo demais essa música!!! ❤
Sou fã dos PSB , tenho esse single e muitos álbuns deles !
Eu também amo muito relaxante vc viagem no tempo!
Esta canción era para Madonna o para Bono Vox? Ya no recuerdo...
😍😍😍😍😍
I love how it sounds!! Never heard this song before! You gotta have fun!
Diss track
Som agradável...gosto muito dessa música
Neil is so cute 😍
WoW es la mejor canción me super fascina esto si es música son grandes
Every time Bono gets mentioned, this song starts playing in my head. It's so spot on mockery of his behavior in the last 25 years at least. It's hard to remember nowadays that Bono used to be a decent singer with him being more in the media for his silly self-elevation into a god of politically correct causes than for his music.
I know what you are saying, but I recently bought all the U2 albums [reissued remastered, with extra discs] man is he talented' even their last album was the best U2 have done this century, & ppl who get put off U2 because of Bono's antics, I tell them U2 are 4 people' its not only Bono' & U2 still rock
Maravilhosa essa música ❤️
E foi lançada 1 antes de eu nascer!
Esta no es la versión del album behaviour de donde es
Neil Tennant as Turbo B from Snap! I love this Video. :-)
Videoclip e música muito bons
Contagiante os pet shop boys.
Good, but I like the album version better.
Sexy Neil💋💚💙💜I love this song and video!!!!

Нил сделал сам себя из обычного журналиста....сейчас конечно он уже не тот....возраст...но так приятно приятно смотреть на кумира моего детства)))) здоровья ему и многая лета!!!!
Magnífico...bellisimo
You gotta have fun...
I think they were talking about Madonna or George Michael at the time :)
Funnily enough it wasn't any of those that seem to be portrayed...yet another genius move on their part, they've done it with many songs.
The lyrics give a better idea. U2. Not completely but it was inspired by them and was the B side of their hit version of Where The Streets Have No Name.
Bit like how I'm With Stupid is actually about Tony Blair and George Bush, then there's The Night I Fell In Love...many don't realise Neil is singing in the character of a teen girl. It's about Eminem and his predilection for very young female fans, major dig there.
From what I remember probably Sting, but Bono and Bruce have been allegations.
well it is timeless and can be about anyone. Might currently be the official soundtrack to "fridays for future"...
Maravilhosaaa!!!!
У Нила неплохо получается изображать тинейджера в бейсболке
Олег Степанов tilma silva
A diss track aimed at Wendy James.
Impossível não gostar do Pet Shop Boys....😎😎😎
Last 80's or early 90's when i was a highschool boy this music recall my teenagehood
Jose Ramos amém essusica
