I’m back in the blogsphere after taking a short break. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit listless and lacked the inspiration to write anything worthwhile. Whether that’s because I’m starting to feel the effects of spring fatigue as I get older, I’ll leave that open to interpretation.
Anyway, a new pop song by Meek got me back on the track. "I jumped up on the bar and started lip-syncing along… everyone in the bar was screaming, ‚I’m so fucking fabulous" is the song’s anthemic core, which transforms heartbreak, therapy, and financial worries into a self-deprecating statement.
The friendly folks at Austrian radio station fm4 described the song as follows: “Fabulous” is a self-empowerment anthem that blends glam rock and pop opera. In the verses, Meek laments the pitfalls of everyday life and the pain of unrequited love. Deep in her heart, however, she feels: “I am fucking fabulous!” The catchphrase, initially delivered on the back burner, becomes a beacon halfway through the song. The driving force behind it is a guitar riff inspired by the rock band Queen and their singer Freddie Mercury. Added to this is a Bohemian Rhapsody-style stereo effect during the chorus.
There’s nothing more to add to that, except that we’re going to be hearing the phrase “I am fucking fabulous” even more often.

I'm very happy that Meek reinvigorated you, Walter, great to have you back.
I enjoyed that but could only listen to it a couple of times.
Welcome back, Ernie - I loved that. Can't imagine it'll get much radio play though.
Rol seems to be confusing Walter with me. I'm very flattered, but it is a bit of an insult to Walter.
Yes,my deepest apologies to Walter.
In my defence:
1) Ernie is always disappearing on secret missions, so I'm used to waving him off and welcoming him back.
2) It's been a long week.
3) I'm finally losing it.
Sorry, Walter!
Don't worry too much. Your post made me smile, Rol
