You'r So Bboorriinngg

**"You'r So Bboorriinngg"** (stylised with a dollar sign in place of the S) is a song by Sallilandic singer Pink Girl. It was released on 24 January 2006 by Puresut Records, serving as the lead single from her fourth studio album *Gúlvéhitka Sjajòqija*.

Built around samples of "Si Te Vas" by Shakira, "You'r So Bboorriinngg" is a pop-rock song that lyrically, as described by Pink Girl, is an "open hate letter to the boring people who set [her] back just because they can't let people have fun". Inspired by teen films such as *Mean Girls,* samples of Shakira laughing are used several times alongside a repeated soundbite of Pink Girl saying, in a "Valley Girl" accent, "you're so boring".

## Background and composition

Pink Girl originally wrote "You'r So Bboorriinngg" as an open letter, revealing "I was fucking pissed at a memory from the past and decided to sit at my desk and type up an open letter on my laptop. Then I started singing what I wrote, and took it to the studio to make it a song."

The song was composed by Pink Girl, … and … . It was built around samples of the guitar melody of Shakira's 1998 song "Si Te Vas", and also includes vocal samples of her laughing. Due to the inclusion of the samples, Shakira and Luis Fernando Ochoa are credited as writers on the song. The line "you turn my skies grey when you step foot into the room" is also a reference to the line "mi cielo se hará gris" ("my sky will turn grey") from "Si Te Vas".

Puresut Records originally rejected releasing "You'r So Bboorriinngg", stating that it "seemed offensive", but it was included on the album through the persuasion of Pink Girl, who cited the popularity of pop-punk, anti-authority music by artists such as Pink Floyd as a reason to include it.

The song was announced on 30 December 2005 through Pink Girl's website, and intended to be released on 10 January 2006 but was postponed to give time for a music video to be filmed. It was instead premiered through a live performance on MSN on 14 January 2006 and then released as a single on 24 January. In Kaninichia, the release was accompanied by a limited-edition reissue of Shakira's song "Si Te Vas" on CD and 7" vinyl, which was marketed as "a chance to hear the original".

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1:]**
Baby, it's time for my testament
I hear the shit you're talking
What the hell you mean, your detriment?
I'm not hurting you, I'm just rocking
Why do you say I'm petulant?
I'm asserting myself, and you can keep walking
No reason to assume I'm being malevolent
(You're so boring) My guide was Pippi Longstocking
So I don't give a (fuck) for your expectations (you're so boring)
**[Chorus:]**
I hate to break it to you,
(You're so boring) I'll never be your perfect little Mary-Sue
(You're so boring) That's just something I've outgrew,
And you can't put me through
(You're so boring) I've heard it all before
(You're so boring) So you can leave it at the door
(You're so boring) You're saying I'm abhorred
(You're so boring) Nobody cares, that's just uncalled for
(You're so boring, you're so boring, you're so boring)
**[Post-chorus:]**
Leave me be tonight
You'll be alright
**[Verse 2: Pink Girl and and *Shakira sample*]**
Pink frilly princess shit
No thanks, it's not my style
I don't care if I'm a misfit
I just don't find you worth my while
Now you're throwing a hissy fit
Like you were a little child
(Wait a minute!) Didn't you call me petulant?
I'mma just leave you alone to cry all
You want to, but the truth is (*haha*)
You turn my skies grey when you step foot
Into the room, and nobody really likes you (*haha*)
**[Chorus:]**
I hate to break it to you,
(You're so boring) I'll never be your perfect little Mary-Sue
(You're so boring) That's just something I've outgrew,
And you can't put me through
(You're so boring) I've heard it all before
(You're so boring) So you can leave it at the door
(You're so boring) You're saying I'm abhorred
(You're so boring) Nobody cares, that's just uncalled for
(You're so boring, you're so boring, you're so boring)
**[Post-chorus:]**
Leave me be tonight
You'll be alright
**[Outro: Pink Girl and *Shakira sample*]**
Nice try at intimidating me
But you're damn daft (you're so boring)
If you think I'm not just gonna laugh (*Aquí-í-í-í-í-í-í*)
And tell people you stink (*Hahahahahaha, hahahahahaha*)
(*Hahahahahaha, hahahahahaha, oh-oh*)

## Music video

The music video for "You'r So Bboorriinngg" was directed by British director Sophie Muller and filmed on 9 and 10 January 2006, in Znamdegrat, Salliland. It was shot on location, except the scene of Pink Girl jumping onto the back of a skateboarder, being thrown off, and landing in a car. The profanity used in the song is blanked out, with Pink Girl covering her mouth. The video premiered on 3 February 2006, on MTV, and peaked at number four on the Salliland TV Airplay chart. When it aired on television in Salliland, all English dialog was subtitled in Sallish.

Youth-oriented television channels, such as Nick Go! in Kuboia, did not air the proper video out of concern that it could "encourage students to disobey teachers". The live performance from Sallilandic program *Desayuno* was aired instead.

### Plot

The music video opens with Pink Girl in an English class, writing "You'r $o bboorriinngg!!!!" on a whiteboard in a hot pink marker. The teacher then erases it and writes "Today's lesson" in a black marker, prompting Pink Girl to climb onto the teacher's desk and sing the song, using a pink marker as a microphone. Other students begin to dance around her, at which point the teacher becomes intimidated and leaves.

The next scene is also set at school, with Pink Girl texting on her cellphone during a test and resting her foot on the desk. When a supervisor comes over, she initially appears shocked before comically hitting him and knocking him out. She then writes "A+" in red lipstick on her test, and struts around, collecting and grading A+ on other students' tests. In a reference to Zara Dawson's "Pump It Up" music video, she skips out of the room and all of the students follow her and dance around the corridors, some swinging on lockers, before they reach the front doors and run out.

Pink Girl is then seen walking into a plaza, with people skateboarding around her. Jumping onto the back of a skateboarder, she is thrown off, but lands into the passenger seat of a convertible pink Audi driven by a friend. They drive around town, with Pink Girl waving her hands in the air during the chorus.

The song then pauses, at which point she takes out her laptop and does a chat video with a teenage boy who claims to be her "biggest fan". She responds with "sorry, baby, I've heard that [shit] a billion times. You're not special. You're so boring!", and they continue driving. The word "shit" is bleeped out, with Pink Girl's mouth pixelated.

They then pull up to a shopping mall, where she shops at an unnamed store for designer clothes, but her credit card is declined. She is told by the cashier to call the issuer, and does. She sighs and rolls her eyes, with the song resuming, and her seemingly singing the lyrics over the phone to the issuer. Finally, it cuts to her in a seating area at the mall, laughing with her hair in braids and winking, before fading to black.

She wears the same outfit throughout the narrative portion of the music video - a hot pink, glittery tiered crop top, dark pink track pants and hot pink high heels, with a straight blonde ponytail. During the sample of Shakira laughing, she wears a low-cut red sweater, with her hair in her natural brown locs with pink and purple braids, as a homage to Shakira's *Dónde Están los Ladrones* album cover, where "Si Te Vas" is originally from.

The video is intercut with scenes of Pink Girl dancing against a dark pink, glowing background, wearing her hair straight and loose with some of it on top of her breasts. She wears a short cream dress with black lace details and a black ruffled underskirt, cream stockings, and no shoes. The reason for these scenes was to show a "daintier, but still carefree" side of her.
