Lyrics

 There's so many things i like about you, I..
I just don't know where to begin,

I like the way you, look at me with those beautiful eyes,
I like the way you, act all surprised,
I like the way you, sing along,
I like the way you, always get it wrong,
I like the way you, clap your hands,
I like the way you, love to dance,
I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,
I like the way you, shake your hair,
I like the way you, like to touch,
I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all....
Yeah..
most of all....

I like the way you move.....
I like the way you move.....

I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,

I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all....
Yeah..

I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all....
Yeah..
most of all....

I like the way you move!

Standing in the Way of Control

Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit

 "Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit" is a house/tech house single written and produced by Fedde le Grand, and based upon a direct vocal sample from Matthew Dear's "Hands Up for Detroit."

The song was released in the Netherlands first on June 26, 2006, peaking at number four in the Dutch Top 40. It was released in the rest of Europe (UK excluded) in August 2006, and enjoyed steadily increasing popularity, first charting in October 2006.

The single originally reached number one on the UK Dance Chart and 53 on the UK singles chart before being released on CD, from 12" vinyl and digital download sales alone. It was given a full release in the UK on October 23, 2006 and leapt to number two on the overall UK singles chart, selling 46,000 copies. The following week, the song climbed to number one. It remained at number one for one week before being knocked out by "The Rose" by Westlife. The single went on to be the UK's 20th best selling single of the year.[1]

The song was remixed in Germany and included verses from rapper Bizarre and horrorcore rapper King Gordy.

In the UK and Australia, the song was released as "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit", with "for" replacing "4" in the title.

Metro Detroit native Madonna used a sample of the track in a remix version of her 2000 single Music as part of her promotional tour and the following 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour World Tour, in support of her Hard Candy album.

 

Lyrics

I'm shaking slowly to the beat
I like rolling on my feet
So people listen to the sound
Round round round round round
Put your hands up

Oh, yeah put your hands up
Yeah yeah

My satisfacion is complete
I keep on rolling on my feet
Just put your hands up to the sound
And turn around round round

Put your hands up

1, 2, 3, 4... 1, 2, 3, 4
oh, yeah ah ah
yeah yeah

I like shaking all my body
Down to the beat
Relax my mind rolling down
On my feet
People put your hands up
When you hear the sound
People scream scream
Put your hands up

 

Son of a Preacher Man

Recorded by Dusty Springfield in 1968 and featured on the album, Dusty in Memphis. Written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins, "Son of a Preacher Man" was originally offered to Aretha Franklin, who turned it down. It was only upon hearing Springfield's version that Franklin reconsidered and recorded the song herself. By that time, however, Springfield's version had already become a hit; thus, Franklin's version, included on her 1970 album, This Girl's In Love With You, charted only as a tag-along b-side of the single, "Call Me" .

Springfield's version was produced by Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin for her first album for the Atlantic Records label and became an international hit reaching #10 in the United States and #9 in her native UK when released in late 1968. The album Dusty in Memphis was released in stereo though its singles were remixed and released in mono. "Son of a Preacher Man" was to be the last Top Twenty chart hit for the artist for almost 20 years until she teamed up with Pet Shop Boys for the single "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" in 1987.
Contents

The writers of Rolling Stone magazine placed the release at #77 among The 100 Best Singles of the Last 25 Years in 1987. The record was placed at #43 of the Greatest Singles of All Time by the writers of New Musical Express in 2002. In 2004, the song made the Rolling Stone list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time[1] at #240.

A sample from "Son of a Preacher Man" was used on Cypress Hill's song "Hits from the Bong" on their album Black Sunday (1993). A year later the song was featured in a scene of the film Pulp Fiction. In the movie, the song was a background for the scene of Mia Wallace (portrayed by Uma Thurman) making Vincent Vega (portrayed by John Travolta) wait on the intercom. The soundtrack reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200, and at the time, went platinum (1,000,000 units) in Canada alone. "Son of a Preacher Man" helped to sell over 2 million units of the album and to reach #6 on the charts according to SoundScan. Quentin Tarantino has been quoted on the "Collectors Edition" DVD of Pulp Fiction as saying that he probably would not have done that scene had he not been able to use "Son of a Preacher Man". The song is also featured in the Movie Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, during scenes depicting Kenneth Lay, ex-Enron CEO and son of a Baptist minister. In the 2008 television episode of the American series "The Office" entitled "Baby Shower," Jan Levinson, played by Melora Hardin, is filmed singing "Son of a Preacher Man" as a lullaby to her newborn daughter Astrid.

Lyrics

Billy-ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit hed come along
When they gathered round and started talkin
Thats when billy would take me walkin
A-through the back yard wed go walkin
Then hed look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was

Being good isnt always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin to me
Hed come and tell me everything is all right
Hed kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin kisses from me on the sly
Takin time to make time
Tellin me that hes all mine
Learnin from each others knowing
Lookin to see how much weve grown

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me

 

Ooh La La - Goldfrapp

Supernature, Goldfrapp's third album, was released in August 2005. The album comprises pop and electronic-dance music prominently featured on Black Cherry, but focuses more on subtle hooks instead of the large choruses that made up its predecessor.

The band never intended to create dance music, however, previous releases were popular across nightclubs in North America and as a result, they decided to write a more dance-oriented album.

Supernature debuted at number two on the UK albums chart, selling 52,000 copies in its first week. It has sold one million copies worldwide and was certified platinum in the UK.The album received a Grammy Award nomination in 2007 for "Best Electronic/Dance Album" and "Ooh La La" was nominated for "Best Dance Recording".

"Ooh La La", the album's lead single, became Goldfrapp's first UK top five single.The song was chosen as the lead single "because it was up and in your face and carried on the theme of the glammy, discoey beat from the last album".

"Ooh La La" became the first song performed by the band to feature the electric guitar and was often cited as a highlight of the album by music critics."

Dial up my number now
Weaving it through the wire

Switch me on
Turn me up
Don't want it Baudelaire
Just glitter lust
Switch me on
Turn me up
I want to touch you
You're just made for love

I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la...

Coils up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on
Turn me up
Oh child of Venus
You're just made for love

I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la...

You know I walk for days
I wanna waste some time
You wanna be so mean
You know I love to watch

I wanna love some more
It'll never be the same
A broken heel like a heart
I'll never walk again

Yeah!

I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la...

 

 

Bad to the Bone

"Bad to the Bone" is a song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers released in 1982 on the album of the same name. While it was not a major hit on initial release, its memorable video made recurrent appearances on the nascent MTV, which was created only a year before and just taking off. Widespread licensing for films, television, and commercials has since made "Bad to the Bone" one of the best-recognized songs of the 80s.

The song's roots can be traced back to rock and roll legend Bo Diddley's song "I'm a Man", which uses the same guitar riff and vocal rhythm, and has a similar overall structure, as well as Muddy Waters's "She Moves Me" and "Mannish Boy".

The video intercuts a live performance by Thorogood and his band with his playing a lengthy game of pool with Bo Diddley himself (who therefore, presumably, did not mind Thorogood's reworking of his song). Pool legend Willie Mosconi is summoned from another room by a spectator, and he wagers a large sum of money on Diddley. As Thorogood appears to be winning, a group of children outside celebrate while Diddley gets a dirty look from Mosconi.

Thorogood prominently smokes a fat cigar throughout the pool-playing sequence. The video ends with Thorogood making the 8 ball drop into a pocket by flicking a large quantity of cigar ash on the floor, apparently triggering the drop of the ball in the pocket.

The song was used in the bar scene in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. "Bad to the Bone" can also be heard in the remake of The Parent Trap (featuring Lindsay Lohan) in the poker scene, the opening credits to Major Payne, in the first scene and during the closing credits of Stephen King's Christine, as well as multiple episodes of the sitcom Married... with Children, in the Super Nintendo classic game Rock 'n Roll Racing, and in the film Talk Radio as the song that starts off the talk show. The song also served as the main theme to Problem Child, with its main riff appearing through the movie and served as the background music in the restored Camaro scene in Better Off Dead. The song also appears in the movie Joe Dirt, albeit for a few seconds before winding down to a stop.

It was also featured in the episode Endless Summer of the series Renegade. Almost the full Song can be heard at the beginning of the Episode "Nobody Lives Forever" on the TV-Series Miami Vice.

The song is used by for Dennis Anderson's Grave Digger monster truck as entrance music, and plays during his portion of the freestyle round at Monster Jam events, and as an entrance theme for closing pitcher Takashi Saito of the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was also played during every at bat of former Seattle Mariners slugger Jay Buhner.

In 2008, "Bad to the Bone" is being used for a TV commercial for Wrangler Jeans featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The song is also quite a popular entrance theme song in professional wrestling. As many wrestlers have used it as their theme song. Such as Kevin Wacholz, who used the song in the 1980s as "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly, while wrestling for the American Wrestling Association. It was also used by the Bad Crew.

A modified version of the song was used in a TV ad for the Buick Grand National

In advertisements for the tv show Lost, the song was used as the theme music for the character James "Sawyer" Ford.

On October 7, 2008 the song was released as downloadable content for the music video game series Rock Band.

 On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

 

Stop

The single was originally released in 1988, missing the UK top forty and peaking at number fifty-two. It was not until 1989, however, that the single became a hit, when it peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart. "Stop!" became her biggest hit to date, spending twelve weeks on the UK chart. It was the 35th best-selling single of 1989 in the UK.

 

 

 

 

 

Lyrics

 

All that I have is all that you've given me
did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
when you realise that you're not the only one

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Time after time I've tried to walk away
but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Stop if love me
(you will remember)
now's the time to be sorry
(that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Alabama 3 - Woke Up This Morning [Chosen One Mix]

There's some online confusion about the meaning of the lyrics, in particular

" But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes."

the confusion is with the term "blue-moon" which generally refers to a rare event ("Once in a blue moon"). In this case it seems to be an astrological reference hence "born under a bad sign", the moon is seen as being responsible for emotions so a "blue moon" would be a moon that caused the blues.

 

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.

She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.

But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

When you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be the Chosen One.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.

 

Paper Planes - M.I.A. 

Background

"Paper Planes" was written and produced by M.I.A. and Diplo, recorded in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and includes kids from Brixton singing on the chorus. The song's beat and melody are reworked from the song "Straight to Hell" by The Clash. Additional production is by Switch, who mixed the track in London.

In an interview in August 2008, M.I.A. described the song as being a satire "about people driving taxicabs all day and living in a shitty apartment and 'appearing' really threatening to society. But not being so. Because, by the time you’ve finished working a 20-hour shift, you’re so tired you [just] want to get home to the family". She added that she felt that listeners could choose how to interpret the gunshots and cash register ringing in the song's chorus. "People could say, 'Oh my God, this song is so violent,' but at the same time, there was a war in Iraq. I felt like certain people made so much money from selling ammunition and military weapons and stuff, and killed a million people, and it wasn't even an issue that was raised."

In August 2008, Sri Lankan rapper DeLon circulated a viral YouTube video in which he rapped over "Paper Planes" and accused M.I.A. of "supporting terrorism" by using images of the tiger and discussing violence in her lyrics, and showing graphic images of violence connected to the Tamil Tigers. M.I.A responded, stating that her music is the voice of a civilian refugee and that she is not willing to discuss it with someone that is looking for self-promotion. DeLon is Sinhalese (the ethnic majority in Sri Lanka), while MIA is a member of the Tamil minority. The song was censored in the USA for a while but was available after strong sales.

A censored version released by MTV in December 2007 differs greatly from the version uploaded to M.I.A.'s YouTube account. In the MTV version, M.I.A.'s vocals are doubled, the gun sounds are replaced with ambiguous popping sounds, and the word weed is removed. M.I.A. performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman which, to her visible surprise, was similarly censored.

Chart performance

The song charted in the U.S. and Canada soon after its release. In June 2008, the song charted on the Belgian singles chart, peaking at 18. After its use in trailers for the film Pineapple Express, the track rebounded on the U.S. charts in July 2008, entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart at position 55, with 42,000 downloads. In subsequent weeks, it continued to climb the chart, eventually peaking at number four. It received heavy airplay on mainstream, pop, alternative, and some Urban Contemporary formatted stations.

On 7 September 2008, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 69 on downloads alone and peaked at number 19. On 15 February 2009, the song re-entered the charts at number 33 after it was used in the film Slumdog Millionaire.

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

Sticks and stones and weed and bongs

Lethal poison through their system

No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless

Already going hell just pumping that gas

And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone

The Kinks - Living On A Thin Line

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there's no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
They're castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we're the same as we ever were.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Living this way, each day is a dream.
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone,
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do,
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads.
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past,
Always lost in blood and guts.
And when they're gone, it's me and you.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line.
