October 3, 200816 yr Author #14 Stupid Girls 7.09 Lowest score: 2 [On Your Shore] Highest score: 10 [Ryan] http://i38.tinypic.com/58phg.jpg "Stupid Girls" is a song written by Billy Mann, Pink, Niklas Olovson and Robin Mortensen Lynch, and produced by billyman and MachoPsycho for Pink's fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006). It was released as the album's first single in 2006. Pink has explained that she noticed many young girls near her Los Angeles home aspire to the hypersexual personae of female celebrities rather than for their careers or talents. She was inspired to write "Stupid Girls", in which she deplores the lack of good role models for girls while encouraging them to cultivate independence and individuality. "There's a certain thing the world is being fed, and my point is there should be a choice", Pink said. Pink said the song was "brought on by several conversations I've had with women and girls. Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0", adding that some are "living vicariously through these people who seem to shop all day" rather than focusing on issues such as war and poverty. According to International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, the song "highlights the culture's relentless and unrealistic pursuit of thinness and unattainable drive for physical beauty". Pink discussed what she called the "Stupid Girl epidemic" during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Z9n8QHCkPLA
October 3, 200816 yr Author #13 Nobody Knows 7.17 Lowest score: 3 [Medicated Soap, Osiris] Highest score: 10 [The 411, *Trouble*] http://i36.tinypic.com/4j6c6o.jpg "Nobody Knows" is a song by Pink, and was the fourth single from her fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006). It was released on November 20, 2006 in Britain and Ireland and during January 2007 in Australia and Europe. The song is the most vulnerable track on I'm Not Dead, and it talks about feelings of despair and loneliness kept hidden from the world. Pink wrote the song with billymann, who she said was her Linda Perry for I'm Not Dead (Linda Perry co-wrote and produced most of the tracks on M!ssundaztood, Pink's second album) in an interview with MTV's Making the Video. It is a song that describes feelings that one can have but not show to the outside world. The song shows off Pink's vocals in full power. The song was released as a single on November 20, 2006 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and on January 13, 2007 in Australia; it reached number twenty-seven in all three countries. It was the only physical single from I'm Not Dead to miss the top five on the ARIA Singles Chart, on which it reached its peak in late January 2007, but it was very popular on radio. Two weeks before this, "Who Knew" (the second I'm Not Dead single) had re-entered the chart and "U + Ur Hand" was still on the chart, which meant that three singles by Pink were in the top fifty (as of January 21, 2007). On the UK Singles Chart it was Pink's lowest peaking single at the time, and the first I'm Not Dead single to miss the top ten. "Nobody Knows" reached number seventeen in Germany and number seventy-four on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart. Although it reached the top forty on the majority of charts on which it appeared, it was not as successful as the album's preceding singles. In Canada the song was released to radio in mid-January shortly after the success of "U + Ur Hand"; in Belgium "Dear Mr. President" was the fourth single from the album. xSahapaHqCM

October 6, 200816 yr Author #12 Dear Mr President 7.74 Lowest score: 3 [Osiris] Highest score: 11 [Frank] http://i33.tinypic.com/dc2zki.jpg "Dear Mr. President" is a song by Pink featuring the Indigo Girls, and was recorded for Pink's fourth album, I'm Not Dead. Pink said that the song is an open letter to the President of the United States, George W. Bush, and that it is one of the most important songs she had written. She stated that it would never be released as a single in the United States, because it was too important to be perceived as a publicity stunt. It has since been released in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the UK. The video of her performance live from Wembley Arena has also been added to the VH1 line-up of videos. The song was written by Pink and Billymann. Pink came up with the idea to ask the Indigo Girls to join the recording of the song. According to an interview, they "believe in the song. An open letter to the president, that's what we needed." During an interview with an Australian radio station, the Australian girl group Young Divas asked Pink what she was thinking when she wrote "Dear Mr. President". Pink stated that she wrote the song on Martin Luther King Day in 2005. "I read The New York Times every day, and watch the news. And I was completely disgusted with it. I just felt like....I just needed to write a song." When I'm Not Dead was released on April 5, 2006, "Dear Mr. President" attracted considerable attention. Most of the discussion concerned Pink's statement that the song was intended for United States President George W. Bush. The song's format is a series of questions for the President, specifically pertaining to how he really feels about controversial issues such as war ("Let me tell you about hard work/Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away"), homosexuality ("What kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?") --this can also be viewed as Vice President Dick Cheney not accepting gay rights when his own daughter is a lesbian,-- The homeless ("What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street"), reproductive rights for women ("What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?") and drug abuse ("You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine"), and asks "when you look in the mirror are you proud?", and the war in Iraq ("How do you feel when a mother has no chance to say good-bye?"). In an interview with MTV News Pink stated she hoped Bush heard the song and that "[he] is proud of the fact that we live in a country where we can do things like that, where we can have dissent, talk, communicate and share our opinions." After she performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live on April 11, 2007, she thanked Jimmy Kimmel for letting her sing it, telling him that many radio station DJs had been told they couldn't discuss the track if she was a guest, and that she wasn't allowed to perform it on other U.S. television shows. After her loss in the Georgia 4th District Democratic primary on August 8, 2006, Cynthia McKinney played the song to her supporters in lieu of a concession speech and sang along. The song was used during the closing of the fourth season final of the television series The L Word. oegoI80t6WE
October 6, 200816 yr Author #11 Lady Marmalade 7.74 Lowest score: 4 [Osiris] Highest score: 10 [Marty] http://i33.tinypic.com/25yzzt1.jpg "Lady Marmalade" is featured as part of a medley in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge!. In addition, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink recorded a cover version for the film's soundtrack album, and this version was released as the soundtrack's first single in spring 2001. The cover version was produced by Missy Elliott and writing partner Rockwilder and features an intro and outro from Elliott. Lil' Kim wrote her rapped verse for the song, but does not receive publishing credit. A lyric was changed from the original version, with the song's setting being transferred from New Orleans to the Paris nightclub Moulin Rouge. "Lady Marmalade" became a number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the second time; it reached number one in its eighth week and spent five weeks at the top of the chart, from May 27 to June 30, 2001. It replaced "All for You" by Janet Jackson, and was replaced by Usher's "U Remind Me". It was the second song in Billboard chart history (after Aaliyah's "Try Again", 2000) to hit number one without being released in a major commercially available single format such as a CD or CD maxi single. "Marmalade" was Aguilera's fourth U.S. number-one single, Kim's second and for first time number-one for Pink and Mya in the U.S. It remained in the U.S. top forty for seventeen weeks and topped the charts in fifteen different countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. It also occupied the top spot on the United World Chart for nine weeks. The single was the best selling single for all the artists except for Christina Aguilera. -Mp115afFIA

October 7, 200816 yr Author #09 Cuz I Can 7.86 Lowest score: 3 [Pavel] Highest score: 11 [Osiris] http://i36.tinypic.com/zinh53.jpg "'Cuz I Can" is a song written by Pink, Max Martin and Lukasz Gottwald on her fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006), from which it was the seventh single. In the song, Pink says she plays by her own rules and boasts about her "bling", a contrast to the anti-consumerist content of "Stupid Girls", another track on the album. Referring to "'Cuz I Can", she called herself "a walking contradiction" and "a hypocrite sometimes." It was one of the five album tracks that leaked onto the internet in July 2005. The single was sent to radio stations in Australia on October 4, 2007. It debuted at number 33 on the Australian ARIA Digital Track Chart and peaked at number fourteen. The track debuted at number 39 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, becoming the first single to chart on download sales alone. It peaked at number twenty-nine. The music video was first seen on Australian television on October 5, 2007 and is a live performance video from the I'm Not Dead Tour. The performance, which was the show opener for the tour, featured dancers dressed like monks and with only underwear beneath their robes. It was rumoured that a physical CD single would have been released in Australia if the song peaked within the top 10 on the Digital Chart, however the song came four spots short. QreX9EscLBU
October 7, 200816 yr Author #08 Get The Party Started 7.87 Lowest score: 4 [Pavel] Highest score: 10 [Medicated Soap, Jark, Angelic Shine] http://i37.tinypic.com/2zp7b6w.jpg "Get the Party Started" is a song by Pink, and was the first single from her second album, M!ssundaztood (2001). It became an international hit and reached the top ten in many countries. The song was written by former 4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry. She said that the process of making the song was "so unlike me"; according to her, she was going through a "weird phase" during which she wanted to learn how to program drums. She programmed her first beat, picked up a bass guitar and, in her words, "did what the beat was asking me to do." She decided to put "every wrong instrument" in the song, and consequently acquired a horn sample. "I was doing the music, the melody was already coming to me in what I wanted the song to be", she said. She finished the song by including in the song "every catch phrase you possibly could imagine", before laughing at the realisation that she had written a potential hit single and her first dance song. "You create something in your bedroom or your house, and it's just a fun thing that you're doing", she said. "Then all of a sudden, you hear that song that you started in your house, and it's on the radio. And people are now acknowledging it. It's just trippy." According to Perry (during an interview with VH1's Driven), she wrote the song years before she introduced it to Pink. She said, "....I felt that it was a big hit but it didn't suit me. Pink was the right person for the song". Perry guided Pink through the album because Pink had total creative control over her music. rTlWqW6fSYc
