Originally, I wanted to talk about the line “what’s the dealio?” in Pink’s “Raise Your Glass”, which makes me duck my head in secondhand shame every time I hear it, but thinking about that line reminded me that in “So What”, Pink actually says, “I’m still a rock star; I’ve got my rock moves.” You don’t need a visual to know exactly which moves Pink means here: tongue hanging out accompanied by devil horns, or, more likely, their clueless cousin, the “I love you” sign. Perhaps some very mild head banging or, at the very least, the digging of the teeth into the lower lip as if to mime the beginnings of the f-word. Ooh, you baaaaad.
And when you think about it, that’s not a very good tradeoff. In the song, her marriage has fallen apart, but she doesn’t seem to mind because of said “rock moves”. I don't care how much of a jerk Carey Hart is being; there are lots of things that are better than being married to a tool (Pink’s word! Not mine!), but showing off your 1999 tongue stud and Pete Townshending an invisible guitar are not two of them.
In conclusion: gross.
