Chris de Burgh: The Lady in Red: 1987: Lyrics and original Video



I’ve never had an opportunity to dance with a ‘lady in red,’ I had the sheer privilege to dance with a lady in purple!

“Lady In Red by Chris De Burgh
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
You were amazing
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or those highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind

Chorus

THE LADY IN RED
is dancing with me
cheek to cheek
there's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
I hardly know
This beauty by my side
I'll never forget
The way you look tonight

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter bliss
As I do tonight.”

Radar Love - Golden Earring

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwqMKf7r7Xg

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says, "I need you here"
Ans it's half past four, and I'm shifting gear

When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's coming on strong
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
Don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky, radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's coming on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar lover gone
When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called radar love

Steppenwolf:Born to be wild:1968: Lyrics and Video

"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild.”

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts: I love Rock ‘n’ Roll:1981:Lyrics and Video

I believe Britany Spears re-done this song. Oh well and hell, I think Eminem in the song ‘Marshall Mathers,’ described her singing rather quite effectively!

In cases such as these DON'T shoot the messenger, I’m only the messenger!

“These fuckin brats can't sing and Britney's garbage
What's this bitch retarded? Gimme back my sixteen dollars.” Eminem

Now this is how this song is done:

“I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

Ow!

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Ow!

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me,
An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me.”

Bananarama: Cruel Summer:1983: Lyrics and Video



This song was a hit in 1983. Regardless, the trio could have dressed better i.e. more sexy and appealing and could have put together a hot dance routine, which they didn’t. Despite this, this is still a cool song!

“Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
What did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer.”

Anita Baker: Sweet Love: 1986: Lyrics and Video

“With all my heart I love you baby
Stay with me and you will see
My arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe

I'm in love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way
Oh, your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we're feeling
Never leave 'cause baby, I believe
No stronger love in this world
Oh, baby no, you're my man, I'm your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this is where you belong
Sweet, sweet and lovely baby
Stay right here, never fear
I will be all that you need
Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe.”

“Because in the moment we can!” What a quote that comes from an impeccable source.
Just an old school dedication to a good friend, Mr Pradeep Makan, a man who loved and loves the genre of reggae.
A song that would sum it up rather nicely has got to be Bob Marley’s Rebel Music, for the rebel in us all. Upon critiquing the body language in this video and the clear mannerisms which show you the true man, I'm taken back by this performance.

Marley sang this song, and he sang it with a particular passion and in a particular season.

Personally I think that this song and performance of it is much like a matured wine. The Winter harvest draws to an end, but bear in mind, it was a harvest! It wasn’t a funeral, it wasn’t a rainy day or turbulent time, it simply was the Winter harvest…Sigmund Freud analyse this…For the love of reggae music, just can't refuse it!

Bob Marley: Rebel Music: 1974: Lyrics and Video

Do do do do-do do do!
Do do do do-do do do!

Why can't we roam (oh-oh-oh-oh) this open country? (open country)
Oh, why can't we be what we wanna be? (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We want to be free. (wanna be free)
3 o'clock roadblock - curfew,
And I've got to throw away -
Yes, I've got to throw away -
A yes-a, but I've got to throw away
My little herb stalk!
I (rebel music) - yeah, I'm tellin' you! -
(I) I rebel music (rebel music). Oh-ooh!
Take my soul (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
and suss - and suss me out (suss me out). Oh-ooh!
Check my life (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh),
if I am in doubt (I'm in doubt); I'm tellin':
3 o'clock roadblock - roadblock - roadblock,
And "Hey, Mr. Cop! Ain't got no - (hey) hey! (hey, Mr Cop) -
(What ya sayin' down there?) - (hey) hey! (hey, Mr Cop) -
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now."
