OUAN 504 - Character and Narrative: Song choice

Pretty much straight away when I read the brief I knew I wanted to give Moom a kind of spoilt brat personality. So going along with this I went on to draw some of the extra features I wanted to add on to Moom's default body. 



As you can see here, I've added on features that a typical 16 year old girl would have nowadays (I'm aware I'm stereotyping but it is in no way to offend). These include over exaggerated false-looking eyelashes, very thin drawn-on looking eyebrows, bright lipstick and boobs. Possibly a side ponytail as well if I can figure out how to do it.
I was deciding between two songs which I thought would fit in with this persona, both are sung by spoilt teens. 

Fabulous
'I want Fabulous that is my simple request
All things Fabulous, bigger and better and best
I need something inspiring to help me get along
I need a little Fabulous, is that so wrong?' 

Pearls' birthday song - It's all about me
'Yeah, it's all about me!
On my 16th birthday
I want music and clothes and shiny things
So give it up right away!
Everybody in the whole wide world, they have to pay attention to me
Its all about me, me and guess who?
ME'

I decided to go for the second song because I thought it would be very fitting. I perhaps could make the scene like a birthday party for Moom and I think it would be very simple to get his personality across.
