Get the pavements mug.A song by UK singer Adele.
"Some weirdo on the internet wrote that 'Chasing Pavements' was about being gay, which isn't true at all."
"The guy wrote it on the Urban Dictionary website, which I've used for years and 'chasing pavements' was never on there as a slang term before. Because of that some radio stations in the States wouldn't play it."
