"Pop! Goes My Heart" is a song from the movie Music and Lyrics, performed by Hugh Grant, as the singer from fictional eighties band "PoP!"[1] While not credited on the track itself (in the movie's end credits), the second lead vocal performance is provided by the song's co-writer Andrew Wyatt. In the film, the song is categorized as a hit from 1984.[2] It is a parody of the typical songs of the 1980s, including a music video featuring imagery common to the era. The music video plays during the introduction of the film (as well as the beginning of the end credits in the style of Pop-Up Video), and features Grant and Scott Porter.[2]

During a Reddit AMA in 2016, Hugh Grant says that he likes to perform all the song's dance moves with his children every day.[3]

Reception[edit]

Joshua Starnes of ComingSoon.net praised the song, opining that the song was the "only genuinely funny moment" of the entire film.[1] For the 10th anniversary of the film, Andrew Unterberger of Billboard praised the song's "faux-new wave" sound.[4]

Hugh Grant Lyrics

"Pop! Goes My Heart"
(from "Music And Lyrics" soundtrack)

I never thought that I could be so satisfied
Every time that I look in your angel eyes
A shock inside me that words just can’t describe
And there’s no explaining

Something in the way you move I can’t deny
Every word from your lips is a lullaby
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can’t let you go
I can’t lose this feeling

These precious moments we have so few
Let’s go far away where there’s nothing to do but wait
You show to me that my destiny’s with you
And there’s no explaining

Let’s fly so high
Will you come with me tonight?
In your dress I confess you’re the sole sunlight
The way you shine in the starry skies
You are gold and silver

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can’t let you go
I can’t lose this feeling

A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can’t let you go

Music and lyrics pop goes my heart

You may remember that, once upon a time, Hugh Grant did an iconic movie called Music And Lyrics with Drew Barrymore...

It haunts us all to this very day.

Well, Hugh would like you to know that he, too, is haunted of it – but he's made the best of it. In a Reddit AMA alongside Meryl Streep, Hugh "revealed" his current relationship with the song:

But as long as he REALLY IS joking about that one part, let's keep picturing that Sound Of Music part, OK?

"I like to perform 'PoP Goes My Heart' with all the dance moves every morning and every evening, with my children. It's our little routine it's like The Sound of Music. If they don't do it I beat them."

Obviously, uh, he's probably joking. Let us, uh, cling to the belief that he's joking about at least some of it, you know?
