Dapper Tunes: Lorde's Royals

Captain Dapper will never be confused with royalty.

While Robin Thicke's song has been my booty shakin' tune of the summer, this track — Royals — has been the song that is most like my own life.

Much like Lorde is singing in the song, my life lacks the gold teeth and Grey Goose of popular music. And as a resident of Rogers Park, I'm certainly not proud of my address and I'm more than a little guilt of post code envy. But you know what? That's just fine. I'll continue to live the fantasy while nodding my head to cool tracks like this. Plus, I have a very healthy imagination so it shouldn't be a stretch to pretend my Prius is a Maybach. My life may lack real glamour but I'll keep my chin up and make the best of it.
