Girls Aloud Says No to Indie

(CREDIT)

Pop sexpots Girls Aloud have been said to push the envelope of pop music (and no it's not just their tight-skin-bearing-outfits). But now they're planning to release a song that comes as a low blow to the indie scene, primarily Hoxton and Primrose Hill. Set to be the B-side of their new single, Can't Speak French, on March 17, the Girls take jabs at the hipsters with lyrics like...

You’re off your face like you’re no one/How many tracks have sold hmm none/Walk round the place like you’re number one/So why don’t you write a tune that we can hum.

A snippet of the song can be found on their MySpace.

But this isn't the first jab at a music scene. Rooney's 2003 self-titled album included a track that poked fun at the popstars. Playing on the lyrics of Britney Spears and *NSYNC, the song (cleverly written) didn't get the backlash that it looks like these Girls are. I guess we'll have to see what happens in March.

Here's the Rooney video for Popstars, which is featured on the band's DVD, Spit & Sweat.
