![]() ![]() ![]() According to the Urban Dictionary, “The Pope is a superstar” refers to “false representations that we create about people in our minds, distorting them in accordance with our desires.” And so, only thanks to the name, we can understand that it will most likely be about a person who has created an ideal image of his friend or lover in his head and who, most likely, will gradually see how this ideal picture collapses. However, in reality it sounds like “Pope is a rockstar” and already carries a powerful meaning. You should start right with the name, which is mistakenly called “Go liitle rockstar” due to the trend. History behind SALES – Pope is a rockstar Because of this trend, many people have a false understanding of what the song is about in their heads, and in the article we will look at the true meaning of the lyrics. ![]() However, after the launch of the Tik Tok trend “Go liitle rockstar”, the group was noticed. People on TikTok think the lyrics are actually ‘Go little rockstar’ So a band called SALES is going viral for their song called Pope is a Rockstar which means TikTokers using the audio have. They released their song “Pope is a rockstar” back in 2016 and it didn’t get much attention. Sales bandmates Jordan Shih and Lauren Morgan wrote and produced “Pope Is a Rockstar”.Ĭoncerning this track’s aforementioned virality, it seems that TikTokers have been misreading it. The phrase which is most commonly used on the platform, as found in the chorus, actually reads “Pope is a rockstar”. But the way TikTokers have rendered it is rather as “go little rockstar”.Īnd accordingly the way they use it has nothing to do with rape or unwilling sexual intercourse but instead is often attached to youth sports’ videos, those related to pets or what have you.The Sales group did not manage to become famous for a long time. The album’s release date was 20 April 2016. This was when their track “Pope Is a Rockstar” went viral via the career-altering TikTok platform.Īnd this came about over four years after the band self-released this track as part of their debut full-length, Sales LP. Sales is a band from Orlando whose discography dates back to 2013. By the looks of things they haven’t been terribly successful but did luck out, if you will, in 2021. “Pope is a Rockstar”Īnd yes, the title itself is a very powerful metaphor. Indeed anytime an artist decides to use the Pope as a symbol, especially when dealing with a topic as off-putting as sexual abuse, viewers would likely go about interpreting it different colorful ways.īut determining if Sales actually meant something beyond what has been summarily put forth above would likely require a deeper study of their artistry. And based on this piece alone, the Pope does in fact serve as a metaphor, as someone who may appear collected on the outside but internally is quite wild. And in this case that would be stereotyped as someone who has an undisciplined sexual appetite and/or who has proven less-than-desirable in terms of being a serious romantic partner in some other way.Īll in all, the event at hand wouldn’t be rape. Rather it reads more like what would be, at least from the female’s perspective, the last sexual encounter between herself and the male. And the main lyrical point which implies rape seems to be that she really doesn’t want to do it, at all.īut the male simply will not go away unless she acquiesces. So this is actually a tale, from the female’s perspective, of unwilling breakup sex, so to speak. And no, the actual Pope is not a character therein. Rather, one clever interpreter has put forth that the male figure in this narrative was previously perceived as such by the female. In other words, she was under the impression that he was a pious individual, akin to a holy man. But once given the opportunity he proved himself to be more akin to a rockstar. ![]()
