Marry Pizza

from Defying Gravity by Kevin Coem

about

Despite the dorky title, this song is actually quite serious and interesting music-wise. It was one of many attempts at making a song that sounds kind of retro, and even though I wasn't satisfied with other tracks, I loved how this one came out! It's influenced by music from the 80s, and following the theme of the title, I used voice synthesizers on certain parts of this song emulating questions you could hear at a wedding, so I could answer "yes I do!" effusively.

Lyrically it's got a deeper meaning than it may seem at first, as the lyrics talk about being stuck in a relationship with an unappreciative, boring and selfish lover. Therefore, the song's theme could be something like "I'd rather marry pizza than staying with someone like you". But in the end it can’t be true, as I assume marrying a pizza slice might be illegal and stuff.

lyrics

Baby, it's been a long day
And you don't even ask me how it went
Not gonna crash this pity party
I'm outta here, don't follow me

I wanna feel just like I'm flying up to the moon
Like I'm popping a birthday girl's balloon
Can you make it real?

I think I'm gonna marry pizza!

I'm trying to listen to what you're saying
But it's hard for me to act like I care
Oh oh whoa-oh
If you're the one that's meant for me
I think I'm gonna marry pizza
I'll marry pizza
Oh oh whoa-oh

Hey! Oh! I think I'm gonna marry pizza
Hey! Oh! (Do you take pizza as your partner?)
Yes I do!

Hey! Oh! I think I'm gonna marry pizza
Hey! Oh! (Do you accept pizza as your life mate?)
Yes I do!

You're always so self-indulgent
But you're not with me when you're supposed to be

I wanna feel like I'm dancing on tables now
Like I'm maxing out my credit card
Can you make it real?

I think I'm gonna marry pizza!

I'm trying to listen to what you're saying
But it's hard for me to act like I care
Oh oh whoa-oh
If you're the one that's meant for me
I think I'm gonna marry pizza
I'll marry pizza
Oh oh whoa-oh

If you're the one that's meant for me
Then I think I'm gonna marry pizza
It's all about cheese and trust, baby
So leave me alone, maybe?

I think I'm gonna marry pizza!

I'm trying to listen to what you're saying
But it's hard for me to act like I care
Oh oh whoa-oh
If you're the one that's meant for me
I think I'm gonna marry pizza
I'll marry pizza
Oh oh whoa-oh

Hey! Oh! I think I'm gonna marry pizza
Hey! Oh! (Do you take pizza as your partner?)
Yes I do!

Hey! Oh! I think I'm gonna marry pizza
Hey! Oh! (Do you accept pizza as your life mate?)
Yes I do!
