Pretenders, The - Popstar Lyrics
So your girlfriend wants to be a popstar
And beat the charts outta me
She wants to move a million units man
Probably just to prove she can
And after a couple of hits
I can see just where she's heading
She's as predictable as armageddon
Oh, they don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to
You should have just stuck with me
Your girlfriend wants to be a popstar
And live in primrose hell
And get to meet all of rocks aristocracy
And be someone everyone knows
Who all the designers send all their new clothes
But when she starts to look like Kylie Minogue
She might even get her picture in Vogue
Baby they don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to
You should have just stuck with me
Your baby wants to be a popstar
Probably just to spite me
She thinks it's so easy to get to the top
But a girl like that, she won't know where to stop
And when her most recent therapist
Suggests that maybe she become a buddhist
She might even consider giving up red meat
Man, you're gonna look back to when your life was so sweet
You know, they just don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to, baby
They just don't make 'em like they used to
Yeah - you should have just stuck with me
You should have just stuck with me, baby

Pretenders, The Popstar Comments
She doesn't like Alanis Morissette, nor Gwen Stefani xdd...
still love commertial music though
Sexy... I recall leaving home on a bus from NY to California on my way to Hollywood to be a star. I was eufhteen and hitchhiked everywhere fur a year and a half...best time if my life..
One of the most appropriate satirical song ever made: released in 1999, it exactly foretold what the mainstream music of the new millennium would have been all about
Love this tune ! I just laugh my arse off everytime !
Very prescient video...they only make illuminati puppet drek nowadays.
las estrellas del pop palidecen ante ti, Chrissie
no they dont "make em like they used to ," Chrissy Hynde thats certainly no bullshit right thurrr...
This was penned in 1999. We've had to endure another 18 years of shite ! Go sick ém, Chrissie !!
vi num top 300 da mtv a umas eras atras, ai fikei " caralho, preciso dessa musica" mas so hj em 2017 q acho uma qualidade agradavel,
Ironic clip, fantastic clip on today's music trash... funny and great Chrissie!!!!
1:47 My eyes! My eyes!
One of the best ever videoclips... a great description of the actual commercial shit invasion
still very relevant today lmao
Yeah - it is true... "They don't make them like they used to."
Man, this is ice-cold and dread... I must've played this 100 times in the past month... God CHrissie looks good-I've tickets confirmed for next year (2017), and I can't wait-I know she don't look quite so good no more, but hell, she's a rockette-she's supposed to look used, ain't she?... And I know I'd smash through that **it in a NY minute...
Talent, brains and beauty all wrapped up in one fantastic package named Chrissie Hynde!!
Hadn't ever seen this clip - the music track was hilarious in itself, one of my favorites. Great goin'!
The Pretenders? Fun, often sarcastic, sometimes introspective. . . They went places where no man can ever go, and where many women are afraid to. Your education cannot be complete without them!
Very nice :)
Groovy!! Reminds me of The Byrds' So You Want To Be A Rock 'n Roll Star...
I grow to bleev ever thing by them is great, but, yeah, yer rite Drackkor, this is one strange vid; it don't work for me
I can still recall this tune back in 99, teen years
They definitley dont make them like Chrissie Hynde she is the original and the Best!!
Chrissie will always be awesome!
Looks like a cheap fake to me.There's only one Chrissie Hynde.
Who are the jerks @ 49 seconds??
Why the hell is this only at 2750 views? Come on! Even when she doesn't "sing", Chrissie is amazing.
Another reason why I love Chrissie. So honest and staying the course.
I'll add one more to the comments on this one. I loved this song when it came out, love it even more now that I'm rediscovering it in an era where Lady Gaga is considered worthy of MULTIPLE Vogue covers.
Pop music and popstars are a lot worse today in 2012, Chrissie!
this is soooo fuckin coooooool, te music, the video... everything!
