GALINDA
(spoken) Elphie - now that we're friends, I've decided to
make you my new project.
ELPHABA
(spoken) You really don't have to do that
GALINDA
(spoken) I know. That's what makes me so nice!
(sung) Whenever I see someone
Less fortunate than I
(And let's face it - who isn't
Less fortunate than I?)
My tender heart
Tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over
I know I know exactly what they need
And even in your case
Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead
And yes, indeed
You will be:
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything that really counts
To be popular
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go:
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal, a
Sister and adviser
There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular -
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll bee
Instead of dreary who-you-were: are:
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-
Ler: lar:
La la la la
We're gonna make
You popular
When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think of
Celebrated heads of state or
Specially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!
They were popular! Please -
It's all about popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!
(spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful.
ELPHABA(spoken) I - I have to go:
GALINDA
(spoken) You're welcome!
(sung) And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your new found popularity
La la la la
You'll be popular -
Just not as quite as popular
As me!
[GLINDA]
You see Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project.
[ELPHABA]
You really don't have to do that.
[GLINDA]
[brightly]
I know. That's what makes me so nice!
[sings]
WHENEVER I SEE SOMEONE
LESS FORTUNATE THAN I
(AND LET'S FACE IT -- WHO ISN'T
LESS FORTUNATE THAN I?)
MY TENDER HEART
TENDS TO START TO BLEED
AND WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS A MAKEOVER
I SIMPLY HAVE TO TAKE OVER
I KNOW I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED
AND EVEN IN YOUR CASE
THO' IT'S THE TOUGHEST CASE I'VE YET TO FACE
DON'T WORRY -- I'M DETERMINED TO SUCCEED
FOLLOW MY LEAD
AND YES, INDEED
YOU WILL BE...
POPULAR!
YOU'RE GONNA BE POPULAR!
I'LL TEACH YOU THE PROPER PLOYS
WHEN YOU TALK TO BOYS
LITTLE WAYS TO FLIRT AND FLOUNCE
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT SHOES TO WEAR
HOW TO FIX YOUR HAIR
EVERYTHING THAT REALLY COUNTS
TO BE POPULAR!
I'LL HELP YOU BE POPULAR!
YOU'LL HANG WITH THE RIGHT COHORTS
YOU'LL BE GOOD AT SPORTS
KNOW THE SLANG YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW
SO LET'S START
'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT AN AWF'LLY LONG WAY TO GO...
DON'T BE OFFENDED BY MY FRANK ANALYSIS
THINK OF IT AS PERSONALITY DIALYSIS
NOW THAT I'VE CHOSEN TO BECOME A PAL, A SIS-
TER AND ADVISER
THERE'S NOBODY WISER
NOT WHEN IT COMES TO POPULAR --
I KNOW ABOUT POPULAR
AND WITH AN ASSIST FROM ME
TO BE WHO YOU'LL BE
INSTEAD OF DREARY WHO-YOU-WERE... ARE...
THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP YOU
FROM BECOMING POPU-
LER... LAR...
LA LA LA LA
WE'RE GONNA MAKE
YOU POPULAR...
WHEN I SEE DEPRESSING CREATURES
WITH UNPREPOSSESSING FEATURES
I REMIND THEM ON THEIR OWN BEHALF
TO THINK OF
CELEBRATED HEADS OF STATE OR
SPECIALLY GREAT COMMUNICATORS
DID THEY HAVE BRAINS OR KNOWLEDGE?
DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!
THEY WERE POPULAR! PLEASE--
IT'S ALL ABOUT POPULAR!
IT'S NOT ABOUT APTITUDE
IT'S THE WAY YOU'RE VIEWED
SO IT'S VERY SHREWD TO BE
VERY VERY POPULAR
LIKE ME!
[GLINDA]
WHY MISS ELPHBA, LOOK AT YOU
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL
[ELPHABA]
I HAVE TO GO
[GLINDA]
[Calls after her]
You're welcome!
[sings]
AND THO' YOU PROTEST
YOUR DISINTEREST
I KNOW CLANDESTINEDLY
YOU'RE GONNA GRIN AND BEAR IT
YOUR NEW-FOUND POPULAR--ITY
LA LA LA LA
YOU'LL BE POPULAR
JUST NOT QUITE AS POPULAR
AS ME!
(verse 1)
My eyes are burning, I can't see
Smokey cloud in front of me
Just a nasty habit, you can't break
Still you want to have and eat your cake
(pre-chorus)
I see you every weekend in the chapel
You wear your Sunday face, but
What do you believe?
(chorus)
Give me a reason to not criticize
Cause' you're telling me one thing
And you're living a lie
You're preaching you love him
And you know that he suffered
You got a bible in one hand and
A cigarette in the other (1st time)
A Long neck in the other (2nd time)
A Condom in the other (3rd time)
(verse 2)
So you had a little much to drink
Did you ever stop and think?
Jesus didn't die to save your soul
So you could kneel beside a toliet bowl
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(verse 3)
True love waits, you sign your name
To you sex and love it's just a game
So you count the knotches 1,2,3
But your conscience tells you nothing's free
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(ending tag)
You're popular, so popular
Does it make you happy?
You're popular, so popular
But does it make you happy, so happy?
Pop, pop! Pop, pop!
I hate to say it but they play this dance song in every club
But it's me so I'll show love
But it's me so show me love
When I walk into the room people stop and stare
It's like nobody else is there
You know it's me not you
Who said anything about you
Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular..
Pop, pop, popular! Pop, pop, popular!
Most guys I dated got intimidated
So now I date up
If you know what it means so they shut up
If you know what it means so just shut up
'Cause I don't wanna give half away
On the date we don't make up
If you know what I mean when we wake up
If you know what I mean when we break up
Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular..
Pop, pop, popular!
You always wanna be around me
So you know what it's like
When the world is at your feet
And you're VIP tonight
You've either you got it or you don't
And I'm sorry you won't
Get there by using me
Just go & do your own thing
Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular
Pop, pop, popular!
Boys and girls pretend to know me, they try so hard
And I get what I want, my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so popular
Pop, pop, popular! Pop, pop, popular!
Pop, pop, popular! Pop, pop, popular!
Pop, pop, popular!
I've gotta plan to make it rich, and famous.
Lucky for me for you it's a bitch you ain't in.
My plans are slowly changin'
Fame is so contagious.
I'm willin' to sleep my way to the top,
I wanna be popular.
I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground,
I wanna be popular.
I must confess I've been a very bad boy,
Been sleeping around, talk of the town.
My name is. . .
Hollywood will beckon.
Everyone will listen.
Play my video, hear me on the radio.
Dancing to the disco, no-one ever says no.
I'm willin' to sleep my way to the top,
I wanna be popular.
I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground,
I wanna be popular.
I'm willin' to sleep my way to the top,
I wanna be popular.
I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground,
I wanna be popular.
My friends are all in limousines.
My friends are all celebrity.
Play my video, hear me on the radio.
Dancing to the disco, no-one ever says no.
I'm willin' to sleep my way to the top,
I wanna be popular.
I don't wanna keep my feet on the ground,
I wanna be popular.
I'm willin' to sleep my way to the top,
I wanna be popular.

Do you wanna be popular?
Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
And haven't been too serious,
There's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she preferres the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if you're honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straight foward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends
I'm head of the class
'm popular
I'm a quarter back
I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch
I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I got a cheerleader chick
Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper
I'm the party star
I'm popular
I've got my own car
I'm popular
I'll never get caught
I'm popular
I make football bets
I'm a teachers pet.
I purpose we support a one month limit on going steady
I think It will keep you both more able to deal with weird situation
And get to know more people
I think if you're ready to go out with Jonny
Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
He wont mind he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating
And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
I'm sure hell l did
Everyone will appreciate it
You so novel what a good idea
You can keep you time to your self
You don't need date insurance
You can go out with whoever you want to
Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
Iif you'll just listen to my plan
THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY
ahh ich steh auf sie ich find sie cool
hör mir das Tape noch mal an weil ichs zurückspul
denn das ist meine Mucke Alter die geht ab sag ich Dir
komm mit zum Vorverkaufsschalter Mann und schnapp sie Dir
die Karten die auf Dich warten gekauft von dem gesparten Geld
durch die ganze Welt führn meine Fahrten weil es mir gefällt
die Band zu erleben die Ideen die sie mir geben
zu leben mich den Liedern hinzugeben mit Postern zu umkleben
die T-Shirts gut zu pflegen die Platten aufzulegen
meine Eltern überreden bis sie sagen meinetwegen
wenn sie mich fragen weswegen dann fällt mir das überlegen nicht schwer
denn sie sind gut und deshalb populär
Sie stehn an jeder Ecke aber nicht bei mir
denn das Gedudel dieser Säcke steht mir echt bis hier
denn jede Sau kennt sie aus dem TV und aus dem Radio und so
dringt ihr Gelall und ihre Show kurz überall
umgeben sie Dich umzingeln Dich berieseln und umringen Dich
die alten Sachen fand ich ja ganz gut die neuen nicht
mit ihren miesen Tricks können die mich nicht locken
weil ich weis die können nichts nur Kohle abzocken
im Moment haben sie wohl genug in ihrer Band davon
Trend ist auch ein Argument weil meine Schwester kennt sie schon
doch irgendwann sind sie dran und dann kennt sie keiner mehr
gestern niemand morgen tot und dazwischen was populÄr
Jaja komm ruhig her Mann und hau mich an hau mich an
ob ich Dir auch ein Autogramm geben kann
hau mich an was ich mir plötlich alles leisten kann
mach mich an sag zu mir fang was andres an lass die andren ran
hau mich an und dann nimm mein Bild von Deiner Wand
und schau mich an und dann nimm mein Wort aus Deinem Verstand
und hör mich an und dann gib mir deine Hand und mach Dich locker
und sei kein Oberstübchenhocker
denn wenn Du glaubst mit dem Geld das ich hab kann ich mir alles kaufen
dann hast Du vergessen das die Dinge hier ganz anders laufen
spielt keine Rolle wie Du Deinen Hunger stillst
das Geld das Du nicht hast kauft Dir das was Du nicht willst
Hoffnungen Gehässigkeiten ungewollte Lässigkeiten
Vorurteile Vorurteile andere große Kleinigkeiten
Feinde oder Freunde es gibt viele Stars
sterben kannst Du nicht wenn Du in aller Leute Köpfe warst
doch jetzt ist das Leben und ich muss es tun
mit meinem Willen zu Villen und einer Buddel voll Ruhm
denn hier oben wär kein andrer wenn ich nicht bekannter wär
doch ich hass es ich brauch es ich hol es und ich rauch es populär

A Coronet Educational 'hygiene' film shown in high schools, this movie urges teenagers "to become popular with lots of people, and have close friends, too." While the intent would seem rather simple and straightforward, this movie is actually about enforcing social norms and condemning promiscuity: "Ginny thinks she has the key to popularity: parking in cars with the boys at night. When Jerry brags about taking Ginny out, he learns that she dates ALL the boys, and he feels less important. What about Ginny? Does that make her really popular? ... No, girls who park in cars are not really popular. Not even with the boys they park with." Enjoy.

One of the best examples of post-World War II social guidance films, with examples of "good" and "bad" girls, proper and improper dating etiquette, courtesy to parents, and an analysis of what makes some people popular and others not. A scream and a sobering document of postwar conformity. Mind-boggling double-standard for the "bad" boy and the "bad" girl. Classic Coronet. "Caroline and her mother had found one way a girl can repay a boy for entertaining her [...] perhaps they could bring another couple home with them. That would be fun."

Popular, Inc., is a financial services conglomerate that has been operating in Puerto Rico for almost 115 years and in the United States for over 52 years. In recent years, it has expanded into other areas of the Caribbean and Central America. It is better known as Banco Popular, but it is also known as BPPR for Banco Popular of Puerto Rico.
Popular, Inc. is the parent company of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, Banco Popular North America, Evertec, E-Loan, and several other companies.
World Headquarters are based in Washington D.C.. The headquarters of Banco Popular Puerto Rico are located in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.

History[link]
The bank was founded in Puerto Rico in 1893 when the island was still under Spanish administration, and was led in its early stages by Rafael Carrión, Sr.
During the 1970s, the company's commercials were very popular on Puerto Rican television: they presented a balding, middle aged man in a white tee shirt, announcing the company in a comic way. The 1970s also saw a giant step in the development of Banco Popular as Puerto Rico's biggest bank, when it bought two-thirds of the Banco de Crédito y Ahorro Ponceño. By buying this bank, Popular entered the credit-card industry.
During the following decades, Banco Popular put a lot of emphasis on the company's public image. It was during the 1980s, after Rafael Carrion, Sr.'s death, that Richard L. Carrión took over as President of the corporation.
In 1989, the bank introduced a children's savings service with a bear, "Populoso", as its mascot. The Club del Ahorro (or Savings Club) was (and still is) intended to encourage children to open savings accounts and keep track of their money.
1990s[link]
The following decade started with a big development for the bank, when in 1990 it merged with Banco de Ponce, one the largest banks in Puerto Rico. At this time, Banco Popular's holding company changed its name to BanPonce Corporation. Popular acquired Banco Roig, one of the main banks in the eastern side of the island, in 1997, entering a geographical market they had yet to succeed in.
During the late 1990s, the company began to diversify its services thanks to revisions of state laws that allowed banks certain 'privileges' related to different financial services other than banking. These years saw the birth of Popular Auto, Popular Finance, Popular Mortgage, Popular Insurance, Popular Leasing, among others.
During this time, the company created one of its flagship subsidiaries, Popular Securities. It quickly became the investment banking, retail brokerage, and institutional sales arm of Banco Popular. On the retail side, Popular Securities has an extensive network of brokers in Puerto Rico, rivaled only by Swiss giant UBS and more recently by Banco Santander. Popular Securities has additional offices in New York City, San Antonio, Houston, and Chicago.
2000s[link]
Due to its growth in Puerto Rico, and the aggressive expansion in the United States, the company changed its name once again in 2000 to Popular, Inc., a name that goes back to the traditional roots of the corporation and which also reflects the common title in almost all of the subsidiaries of the company.
It was during this time that the company divided itself into three main subsidiary companies: Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, with David Chafey, Jr. as its current president; Banco Popular North America, with Roberto Herencia as the current president; and Evertec, with Felix Villamil as its current president. Richard Carrión remained as president and CEO of the parent company, Popular, Inc.
Evertec was born after the purchase of the GM Group. The main purpose of Evertec is to serve as a processing company (related to the ATM network, card processes, POS, and other technical details). Evertec is not limited to Banco Popular, as it also serves other banks in the island. This subsidiary also maintains Popular's overseas networks (especially ATH Dominicana and ATH Costa Rica).
In the 24 January 2005 issue of Fortune Magazine, Popular, Inc. was chosen as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.
On 11 April 2005, an agreement was announced between Banco Popular North America and the New York Mets. Under the five-year agreement, Popular will operate seven ATMs and display various advertisements at Shea Stadium.

Popular's world headquarters are located in the San Juan's Hato Rey business district, on a stretch of a thoroughfare commonly known as La Milla de Oro ("The Golden Mile") due to the number of banks headquartered in the area. Travelers who fly into the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport can appreciate Popular's landmark building below.
Banco Popular is currently the largest bank in Puerto Rico, the largest company (public or private) in Puerto Rico, and the largest Hispanic bank in the United States[citation needed]. It is classified as one of the top 100 banks nationwide[citation needed]. Its subsidiaries are also considered top-rated[citation needed], with a customer base that grows each year.
Recently, Popular updated its web site to be more user-friendly, with services such as SMS warnings for account balances (both from Popular and other banks), online payments for their products, other companies, and the state government (including credit cards with other banks, water utility bills, electricity bills, among others), credit card forms, and more. Banco Popular also released its new ad campaign: "En Mi Banco Se Puede" ("In my bank it's possible"), along with a series of aggressive ads targeting non-customers, consumers that have left the bank, or current customers who are starting to consider leaving the bank.
As of January, 2012, Popular, Inc. still owed $935 million to the US government Troubled Asset Relief Program.[3]
