Warner Music Taiwan 2014.
Probably the most innovative and compulsively re-watchable music video of 2014. Grass Jelly Studios and Director Muh Chen did an exceptional job with everything across the board for this project.
Lyrics
We are ladylike and decadent slumber party girls up at 1:00 AM
Getting thousands of people to party at clubs at 5:00 AM
Talking about cutting edge cult-film directors of the 1960s
Arranging fan-meets of resurrected 90s pop idols
My expedition in the -50°C Arctic Circle lasts a dozen days
I survived the scorching heat of the Sahara Desert
I vent my emotions into a karaoke mic for 3 days, non-stop
I apply hypnotic aromatherapy oils to relax the stress away
Chorus
You masqueradin' hipsters better line-up
Divas are worshiped for their curvy figures and for being nine-heads tall [Buddhist reference]
Macho male stars are hailed for their 6-pack meat like Taiwanese breaded chicken
Those V-lined abs are worth more than gold
Whether a clique or the mainstream masses, I don't give a damn
If you're innocent or hardcore, I don't give a damn
No matter what type of "monstrous vermin" [Kafka reference] you are, I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn, just leave
All the world's a stage
I enjoy it all and have mastered it all
I enjoy it all and have mastered it all
Enjoying it all and mastering it all
Enjoying it all and mastering it all
I don't give a damn yet I'm playing them all
Don't care about y'all, playing y'all
End Chorus
On a date with my hipster boyfriend, a Wednesday afternoon
Impressing him with my cute hipster outfits
On Friday I read Hemingway at 24-hour laundromats
I've got 50 sockpuppet accounts [fake online accounts] and they never get old
Chorus
If you're traditional or revolutionary, I don't give a damn
If you're innovative or a copycat, I don't give a damn
If you're active or a couch potato, I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn
Don't give a damn about y'all
Anyway, all the world's a stage
Enjoying it all and mastering it all
Enjoying it all and mastering it all
Enjoying it all and mastering it all
Enjoying it all and mastering it all
Don't care about y'all, playing y'all
Play, play, play, play, play...
