Pop music is not a crime
Freezepop · Future Future Future Perfect, import version [2008]
another song about dancing
what is it that you want from me
if I wrote a song about more serious things
would you take me seriously
it's just that I really like to dance
do you feel the same way that I do
would you dance to a song about dancing
if so, I'd like to dance with you
pop music, pop music is not a crime
pop music, pop music, we write it all the time
pop music, pop music is not a crime
pop music, pop music, dancing to my stupid rhymes
another song about dancing
I know you've heard it all before
if I wrote a song about more serious things
would you want to hear some more
it's just that I really like to dance
I guess that sounds pretty trite
would you dance to a song about dancing
guilty pleasures feel so right
pop music, pop music is not a crime
pop music, pop music, we write it all the time
pop music, pop music is not a crime
pop music, pop music, dancing to my stupid rhymes
(instrumental break)
pop music, pop music is not a crime
pop music, pop music, dancing to my stupid rhymes
listen to me
give me a minute of your time
listen to me
and sing along with what you know
listen to me
pop music is not a crime
listen to me
now I'm on the radio
listen to me
the drumbeat makes us starry-eyed
listen to me
and dance along at our next show
listen to me
pop music is not a crime
listen to me
now I'm on the radio
now I'm on the radio (2x)
come dance with me
we've got a beat you can't deny
come dance with me
and you just can't tell me no
come dance with me
pop music is not a crime
come dance with me
now I'm on the radio
listen to me
come dance with me
now I'm on the radio
Pop music is not a crime
Freezepop's "Pop music is not a crime" stands as a defining track from their 2008 album Future Future Future Perfect. Released during the height of the Japanese electronic pop scene, the song exemplifies the genre's signature blend of upbeat rhythms and introspective lyrics. It captures the band's ability to merge catchy melodies with themes of modern anxiety and self-reflection, creating a sound that resonated deeply with audiences in the late 2000s. The recording showcases Freezepop's evolution, moving beyond simple dance tracks to explore more complex emotional landscapes while maintaining their distinct sonic identity. This work remains a key reference point for understanding the era's electronic pop landscape and the band's contribution to it.
