A song performed by the band Queen and co-written by David Bowie. The beat was shamefully ripped-off by Vanilla Ice. But even through that and all of time the song and all it's greatness will never die.
"Boom boom ba deh, boom boom ba deh, bubba boom ba beh beh
Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on the streets
Boom ba ba beh, boom ba ba beh, bee deh dop, ee deh dop
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Deh deh det, ooh, ba da da da bom, O K
Trippin' around (kick my brains 'round the floor)
These are the days (it never rains but it pours)
Ee do da dep, ee da do bop bop, ee do bop, dee bop
People on the streets, dee da dee da det
People on the streets, dee da dee da dee da dee da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love...?
'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves... Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure"
Pressure

A pick me is a woman that is willing to do anything for male approval. She will embarrass or throw other women under the bus to achieve this goal. The unfortunate thing about a pick me is usually the men they are trying to seek approval from are of poor quality and treat women badly, leaving little real benefit for the pick me.
Pick me: If a man cheats on you, it's probably because you your fault. Be feminine! Make him food! Clean his ass hole!

A song written by Queen and David Bowie, that Vanilla Ice lifted and put into "Ice Ice Baby", and later tried to convice the public that his version was different. The Used and My Chemical Romance are currently performing Under Pressure on the Taste Of Chaos. They will be releasing a studio version to support victims of the Tsunami.

The song that always plays at the end of a movie where the main character acomplishes something great. Used as an inspirational or "everything turned out great" song.
"Whell john we finished another movie where the main character was almost killed and was a failure at life. But since everything turned out ok for him let's put Under pressure in there as the closing song" LOL!!!111
