Hip To Be Square Lyrics
It's a song so catchy that most people probably don't listen to the lyrics but they should because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity or the importance of trends but a personal statement about the band itself.
I have yet to meet single person who knew this song before American Psycho. And you know what? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that because the only REAL way to be introduced to this song is in American Psycho with our Partrick Bateman's fluent and idiosyncratic definition of the songs meaning and creation.
That's where I come in. I didn't watch American psycho yet, and saw the music video of this song on the TV. Really, nice and catchy, somehow can't hear the lyrics though, not used to his voice I guess. Anyway, write me in the Red Book now, lol

I think this guy was a real player with the ladies, loved to party and it all took a toll on him. Then he realized that his life was going no where and the things he took pleasure in were no longer making him happy. So he straightened out his life...grew up maybe. Now he appreciates his life and taking care of his self. He's been on the "other way" and he sees there's nothing special about selling yourself out. Because really that's what people are doing everyday selling themselves short cause they give in to what the world wants from them not what they really want. There isn't any shame in living a good clean life...It's hip to be square!
"Hip To Be Square" captured the growing up of the hippy generation that chose to conform and become yuppies in the Eighties
"TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!"
Everyone should see American Psycho.
i love blasting this song while my housemates look at me like i'm retarded.
haha, fans of American Psycho should love this song.
In my opinion, there is no better song that best describes Patrick Bateman's "Exterior" character. Excellent tune
While I agree that this is an excellent tune, Spike2kx, I would have to disagree with your assessment that the lyrics describe Patrick Bateman's "external character." Patrick Bateman has neither an internal nor an external character. He is a complete void altogether. This song was probably chosen for the scene where Bateman kills Paul Allen for comical irony (not to mention the fact that the song is talked about at great length in the book).
