Verse 1
People seem to hate on me
Just because I want to take good pictures of myself
Okay shawty, selfie stick
Stop putting me down, I'm a sensitive guy
You laugh and you stand there watching
But it's the only way to get good angles
The alternative is to get surgery on my arm
Or actually get real friends
Prechorus 1
But what do I need real friends for
When I have a stick that can take a much better picture
So I don't need your friendship, just get lost
All I need is my selfie stick
Chorus 1
I have a selfie stick
A selfie stick
A phone on a stick, a selfie stick
I take a picture
I take another one
'Cause nobody else wants to take a picture of me
A selfie stick
A selfie stick
A lonely life, that's a selfie stick
I take a picture
I take another one
But seriously why does nobody want to take a picture of me
Verse 2
The thing is it's good for many more things
For example, you can get things down
Or get things that are under other things
It can simply be used for many things
It can be used for pole vaulting
It can be used to commit crimes
You can use it as a prosthetic leg
And then you can probably use it as binoculars too
But what, how?
Chorus 2
I have a selfie stick
A selfie stick
A phone on a stick, a selfie stick
I take a picture
I take another one
'Cause nobody else wants to take a picture of me
A selfie stick
A selfie stick
A lonely life, that's a selfie stick
I take a picture
I take another one
But seriously why does nobody want to take a picture of me
Bridge
But there's one thing we haven't mentioned yet
Some might think we're crossing the line
But I don't think we were the first either
You can take good pictures of your
Prechorus 2
But there's one thing we haven't mentioned yet
Some might think we're crossing the line
But I don't think we were the first either
You can take good pictures of your anus
Chorus 3
I have a selfie stick
A selfie stick
A phone on a stick, a selfie stick
I take a picture
I take another one
'Cause nobody else wants to take a picture of me
A selfie stick
A selfie stick
A lonely life, that's a selfie stick
I take a picture
I take another one
But seriously why does nobody want to take a picture of me

lagbrottcrime / violation of law

Lagbrott is a compound word meaning 'crime' or 'violation of law'. It's a strong and somewhat formal term that stands out in the otherwise lighthearted and humorous lyrics of the song.

The song humorously lists various unexpected uses for a selfie stick, from practical tasks to absurd ones like 'stavhopp' (pole vault). The inclusion of lagbrott is a comedic twist, suggesting the selfie stick could even be used for illicit activities, adding an element of playful mischief and surprise that makes the word memorable and enticing.

Get ready for a hilarious and surprisingly deep dive into the world of selfies! "Selfiestick" by the German artist IJustWantToBeCool is a funny anthem for anyone who's ever felt a little lonely in the age of social media. The singer defends his beloved selfie stick against haters, arguing it's the only way to get the perfect angle. He even jokes that it's better than real friends because, let's be honest, a stick can't refuse to take another picture of you.

But underneath all the jokes about using the stick for pole vaulting or as a leg prosthesis, there's a touch of sadness. The real reason he needs the stick is because "no one else wants to take a picture of me." It's a comedic look at how we use technology to deal with loneliness, creating a perfect image of ourselves even when we feel alone. The song is a playful, catchy, and slightly absurd reminder that sometimes, what we post online doesn't tell the whole story.
