"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] Show
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] References[edit]

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?BuzzFeed DailyKeep up with the latest daily buzz with the BuzzFeed Daily newsletter! |
