“It’s called ‘So What?’, and it’s a goof on a Disney-style pop song,” proud father Judd Apatow tells Pitchfork. “I said to Maude [his 14-year-old daughter], “Write a song — I bet you can do it.” She wrote this hilarious song which goes, “So what if I like boys? / So what! / So what if I like girls? / So what!” Apatow also tells Pitchfork that he loves Coldplay, and that the whole family is into the Fun. album. Remember what we learned about Fun., everyone.
