Too School For Cool and Treated Like a Fool

This time I am doing a song suggested by Marz, Raise Your Glass by Pink. Raise Your Glass is the lead single of the album Greatest Hits....So Far. It was released in October of 2010, when it then raised to #1 on the US charts. I personally find Pink to be one of my personal favorite modern pop stars. I think this song is a very Pink-esque song. It has her fun loving attitude and just her sound.
Lyrics-wise, it is a good party anthem. That means the lyrics aren't really meaningful or anything, but that isn't the point. The point is to be fun. This song captures that. So the lyrics are fantastic, but they are easy to learn, which is characteristic of a party song. The only negative thing that I can really say about them is that the chorus is repeated a lot, but that happens in most modern songs.
The guitar and beat behind is good and makes you want to move. It is simple and easy to jump around and dance to. It fits the singing well. The singing in and of itself isn't auto-tuned so much to make her sound like a robot. Like most Pink songs, it is more raw sounding than other pop songs.
Over-all the song just is a wonderful pop-party anthem. Party anthems are a bit difficult to review, because they aren't really meant to be outstanding on any specific piece, but more just to dance and move around to. This one does it's job, and just sounds really cool.
EDIT: I yet again forgot a link. I gotta remember to do that. Well here it is. Link
