In this song, Mika is singing about trying to get a record contract. But he gets rejected many times. So he tried to be what the record companies wanted him to be. He’s just being funny or ironic when he says “I could be anything you like”, for example, a colour or a different person, like Grace Kelly or Freddie.

By the way, have you ever heard of Grace Kelly ? Who is this lady ?

And Freddie ? Who is this man ?

• Grace Kelly was a famous American actress who died in a car accident in 1982. She stopped her career in 1956 to get married to Prince Rainier III. She then became Princess Grace of Monaco. She rarely smiled in photos or in her films. That’s why Mika says “All her looks were too sad”

• Freddie refers to Freddie Mercury who was a British rock musician. He was the leader of the rock band QUEEN. He had a fantastic voice. Many people think that Mika’s voice is very similar to Freddie’s voice. Freddie had AIDS and died in 1991.
