Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
*This post was inspired by my brother who is obsessed with Avril Lavigne. Me? Her Avid Fan.
Avril Lavigne is set to release her third album this April 17, 2007 which entitled "The Best Damn Thing". The album is said to be less mellow than previous Lavigne albums, and more upbeat. Avril described the record as: "fast, fun, young, bratty, aggressive, confident, cocky in a playful way…all the good stuff." [ from Wikipedia ] Girlfriend is one of the single in the album which already has a world premiere. This was the song my brother has been telling me last friday night which he finds Avril so beautiful. In the video, you can see two different sides of Avril, the one is she resembles Betty La Fea. It is also refreshing to see her dance. The message of the lyrics was quite shallow yet we still like it. We just love her.
More about the Girlfriend song:
The song is based around the ever-classic love triangle theme, where Avril makes a bid for her crush’s significant-other’s position, trouncing his current main squeeze. Its sing-song-chant chorus is propelled by a catchy hook and handclaps, and has been noted by fans and critics as being reminiscent of Toni Basil’s "Mickey".
The music video features two different Avrils: one with a nerdy persona, glasses and red hair, and one with a rocker persona and black hair. The black hair rocker and blonde hair girl represents ‘Avril’ as herself; Avril fights over the man with the nerdy red-haired girl and eventually gets the man in the end.
Check out the lyrics here and the video through YouTube. Enjoy! I was wondering why i couldn’t embed the video here.
