RigaMusicaAnalise #127 Jessie J ft B.o.B. "Price Tag

Okay

Coconut man
Moonhead
And Me
(Are) you ready?


Seems like everybody's got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first
And the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and
Smile


Why is everybody so serious
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good
Time

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight


Chorus:
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


Ain't about the (ha) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


(Okay)
We need to take it back in time
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes
Am I the only one getting... tired?


Why is everybody so obsessed
Money can't buy us happiness
If we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feelin'
All right


Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight


It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


Ain't about the (ha) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


(B.o.B.)
Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six streams and a half stack
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I
Yes all I need are keys and guitars
And guess what, in 30 seconds I'm leaving to mars
Yes we leaving across these undefinable odds
Its like this man, you can't put a price on life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice every night
So we ain't gon' stumble and fall never
Waiting to see, a sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon' keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing
It's not about


Chorus:
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


Ain't about the (ha) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


Chorus:
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


Ain't about the (ha) Cha-Ching Cha-Ching
Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag


Yeah yeah, oo-oooh
Forget about the price tag



Letra: fala de como a Jessie se tornou conhecida e dela querer ser conhecida por fazer boa musica e não por participações em vídeos que teve. É também uma critica a quem quer pertencer á industria musical pelo dinheiro e não pela arte.




Vídeo: temos uma caixa de musica a tocar o “Danúbio azul”. Depois temos uma mini Jessie que cresce e se “transforma” na Jessie normal.



O vídeo acaba por fazer referencias a que os músicos são marionetas nas mãos das editoras, que fazem musica pelo dinheiro e não pela arte, que querem apenas exibir os carros e os adereços e serem famosos por isso.



Curiosidades: o coconut man e a moonhead que ela se refere são as duas pessoas que escreveram a musica com ela (Dr Luke e Claude Kelly)



A parte em que ela refere “vídeo hoes”, refere-se ás criticas que ela recebeu por participar no vídeo “Do it like a dude” da Nicki Minaj .



Opinião Geral: o vídeo está bem conseguido e retrata a realidade de algum panorama musical, em que os artistas são mais conhecidos pelos escândalos, pelos carros que têm do que pela musica que fazem. A presença do BoB tem lógica já que ele também nas suas letras fala disso mesmo.




Na próxima semana
