This sounds like something a bunch of disconnected music executives tried to tell her.
To my knowledge and nobody ever accused her of being a genius.
And yet, millions seem to think Trump is one.
Makes you wonde what value the word has, eh?
Those people probably asked what the 8 meant…
I guess she never read “Thrasher” magazine. They were using that phrase well before the song.
She never said this.
It’s from Clickhole. They make up bullshit quotes.

She def said it. Confused the living shit out of me back in the day.
People biting the onion is 90% of the fun of it. Let them be silly.
The Onion is way more subtle and clever than just making up fake quotes by celebrities
clickhole is by the onion lol
And were doing the fake quote thing before they made clickhole.
It’s pretty obviously a joke quote when you take the time to read it
You got downvoted, presumably by someone who thinks it’s not obviously a joke, which I find both hilarious and sad.
Some people just have no whimsy.
I still picture the headline “Laura Bush noisily devours infant” from time to time and that had to be from an onion (probably a physical one) from around 2005.
*hilarious bullshit quotes.
It’s even worse that it was considered a “big creative risk”.
It’s a fake quote
So? This is Lemmy.
Yes, that’s why you’ve been called out.
I’ve been called out?
People out of touch with reality often think they are trend-setters, when they’re usually years, if not decades, behind the times.
It depends on when they became rich or famous.
We also don’t know when this quote came out. After years and years of being asked about the same song you have to say something. Maybe she did worry for an afternoon or a day, and now she just needed a story. People are voracious.
We do know. Despite what the sibling poster said, it came out 2015, May 26. It’s a fake quote but we do know when it was released!
We also don’t know when this quote came out.
We actually do, the answer is “never”. It’s from a satire site called Clickhole. She never said this.
I was about to say, wtf?
I’m choosing to assume she was joking, because if she was then she’s hilarious
Everyone taking this post seriously is hilarious
At least credit click hole.
The 8 is because there are eight skater boys, right?
Only ever confused her
Big? That’s YUGE!
Melissa never said that. I must know it, she is me
It was a new and original song that didn’t plagiarise at all…
For the record, I still love this song.
If this video is supposed to be saying it wasn’t original and plagiarized all these songs, then the person who made it is an idiot and knows very little about music. Like this is made by an edgy 12 year old or possibly even an AI.
It straight up just includes a cover.
Next you are going to tell me that the correct pronounciantion for Canadian musician Joel Zimmerman’s stage name is not “dead - mau - five”
I despise the fact that, I can’t read English to fathom this humorous statement.
