## Lyrics

Love, when you- $4.99!

Makes me feel so- Luxury

Love, when you- $4.99!

Makes me feel so- Luxury

(Never let yourself feel bad)

Love, touch

I can't seem to breathe or f- $4.99!

Love, touch

## Trivia

* The meaning of the song is currently unknown. However, there have been numerous interpretations of what the song, as well the music video, could mean.
	+ The first, and most popular interpretations are along the lines of the song representing problems of the mainstream media and corporations.
		- One interpretation of this theme believes that the song calls out how companies in recent years now having you spending money on basic life necessities, such as "love" and "touch".
		- Another version of this interruption claims that the song portrays how the mainstream media attempts to make it appear that their products will improve the viewers life and their problems, mainly giving them gratification and happiness, where it will instead do nothing, or in some cases, even the opposite.
	+ Another interpretation from fans is that the song, as well as music video, are meant to represent and portray a panic/anxiety attack. They theorize that the singer calling that they "can't seem to breath or feel anything" represents the attack and the commercial interruptions represents people ignoring them. Fans also theorizers believe that the 911 callers represent people who try to ask if they're okay without actually helping. The line "never let yourself feel bad" is a way of having the singer mask away their feelings for gratification.
* $4.99 is the first song on the Micropop tracklist to have a music video.
* On the Micropop version of $4.99, phone ringing sound effects are heard during the chorus. It's currently unknown if it was exclusively added to this version of the song, or if it was always in the song and just inaudible due to the loud VHS hissing in the video.

* Multiple fake product names are comically created and featured throughout the video. These include:
	+ Radio Buddy
	+ Inter Action
	+ Bad Thoughts
	+ Em Ergency
	+ Leave Your House
	+ Tooth Hammer
	+ Eye Pain
