MUSIC: "Labels or Love" by Fergie

Being a Melbourne[-ish] weekend, I stopped by the library for some media distractions. I found the Sex and the City Movie soundtrack, which I've been eyeing for a while, and I'm currently in Love with the first track, Fergie's "Labels or Love" which was played over the opening credits. It's high-energy and extremely pretentious, which embodies the spirit of the movie/tv series.

As cheesy as it sounds, I can just picture the chorus line of extremely well-dressed, gorgeous men performing synchronized moves in front of a pink-lit array of bulbs... yeah, that's extremely __(insert adjective here)__. That pretentiousness is what I love about the show -- it's a fantasy world -- and that escape is what I suppose my mind needs right now.

And I'm glad that the song playing on a loop is a "happy" one.

"Labels or Love"
by Fergie
Lyrics:

Shopping for labels.. shopping for love
Manolo and Louis.. it’s all I’m thinking of
Shopping for labels.. shopping for love
Manolo and Louis.. it’s all I’m thinking of

Already know what my addiction is
I be looking for labels.. I ain’t looking for love
I shop for purses while I walks out the door
Don’t cry.. buy a bag and get over it
And.. I’m not concerned with all the politics
It’s a lot of men I know I could find another

And I know that I’m always happy when I walk out the store.. store
I’m guess I'm Supercalifragi-sexy.. nothing to be playing with
I love him.. hate him.. kiss him.. diss him try to walk a mile in my kicks

CHORUS
Love’s like a runway but which one do I love more
No emotional baggage.. just be festive with Dior
Love’s like a runway so what’s all the fussing for
Let's stop chasing those boys and shop some more

1,2.. 1,2,3 turn the lights on

I know I might come off as negative
I be looking for labels.. I ain’t looking for love
But relationships are often so hard to take
and Prada dresses never broke my heart before
And.. ballin's something that my feet are with
I'ma do the damn thing, watch me do the damn thing.
Cuz I know that my credit card will help me put out the flames

I’m guessing Supercalifragi-sexy.. nothing to be playing with
I love him.. hate him.. kiss him.. just I’m trying to walk a mile in my kicks

(CHORUS)

Gucci.. Fendi.. Prada purses.. purchasing them finer things
Men they come a dime a dozen.. just give me them diamond rings
I’m into a lot of bling.. Cadillac Chanel and Coach
Fellas boast but they can’t really handle my female approach
Buying things that's hard to say
Rocking Christian or Leger.. Manolo or Polo taking photos in my Cartier
So we can’t go all the way.. I know you might hate it but
I’m a shop for labels while them ladies lay and wait for love

(CHORUS)
