UB40 remains an authentic reggae band, they ensured that they met the requirement for bona fide reggae artists, beside singing about love, philosophy, life and politics, you just can't leave God out!!! I dedicate this one to the UB's as their DEP label has been declared bankrupt and life is somewhat challenging for them right now..

Many rivers to cross
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way
Wandering, I'm lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left, and she didn't say why
Well, I guess, I've got to try

(I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
(I've got) there'll be times when I find myself (rivers to cross)
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

(I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But I can't seem to find my way home
(I've got) wandering, I am lost (rivers to cross)
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

(I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for my years (rivers to cross)
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left, and she didn't say why
Well, I guess, I've got to try

(I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But I can't seem to find my way home
(I've got) wandering, I'm lost (rivers to cross)
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Cause I've got many, many rivers to cross
(I've got) wandering, I'm lost (rivers to cross)
(I've got) many, many rivers to cross

(I've got many rivers to cross)
(I've got many rivers to cross)
Many, many, many, many (rivers to cross)

Physical: Olivia Newton John: 1981
Want a lesson in innuendo? I’ve got a textbook example for you!!!
‘The video featured a lusty Olivia, dressed in a tight leotard, as a gym teacher trying to make several overweight men healthy. She repeatedly tries to make the men lose weight, but her plans fail and she leaves the room to take a shower.’[1]
"Physical" is a song by pop singer Olivia Newton-John, released in September 1981. The song was an immediate success, shipping 2 million copies in the United States, being certified Platinum, and spending 10 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, ultimately becoming Newton-John's biggest American hit. The song reached number 7 on the UK chart in November. ^[1] The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and won the Billboard Award for Top Pop Single. "Physical" went on to become the biggest-selling single of the entire decade in the US.[2]

"I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like
Making good conversation
I gotta handle you just right
You know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
There's nothing left to talk about
Unless it's horizontally

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

I've been patient, I've been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back
If you know what I mean

I'm sure you'll understand my point of view
We know each other mentally
You gotta know that you're bringin' out
The animal in me

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let's get animal, animal
I wanna get animal
Let's get into animal
Let me hear your body talk”

I appreciate very much the poetic intensity that songwriters and singers give to their music. They give it life. I always wonder who the song writer/singer wrote the song for, what was the circumstances and perhaps most importantly did the fairer sex accept the plea the songwriter/singer made!
I believe in this concept of true love. I believe that if you lucky enough to find it, it can be very fulfilling!
Here’s one that I suspect you’ll know and appreciate!
Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)

“Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
O. K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. Good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.”

Pink Floyd: Comfortably numb THE CHILD IS GROWN, THE DREAM IS GONE...

I touch myself: The Divinyls: 1991

"I love myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me come running
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes And see you before me
Think I would die If you were to ignore me
A fool could see Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees I do anything for you

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I love myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I want you
I don't want anybody else
and when i think about you I touch myself
OO OO OO-OO Ahhhhh

I don't want anybody else
When i think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
When i think about you I touch myself
I touch myself

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself.”

Candy Girl: New Edition: 1983
If you matriculated in 1991, class of 1991, then you no doubt were introduced to Bubble Gum Pop at a very tender age with New Additions Candy Girl, the video may seem silly now, but the words are timeless…

“My girl's like candy
a candy treat
She knocks me right off of my feet.
She's so fine as can be
I know this girl is meant for me.

(Chorus)
Candy girl
you are my world
You look so sweet
you're my special treat.
Candy girl
all I want to say
When you're with me you brighten up my day

(Verse 1)
All I know when I'm with you
You make me feel so good through and through
The way you walk and the way you talk
You always look so good
You make me forget my thoughts.

Do you really love me? Do you really love me?
Don't you really care? Don't you really care?
Do you really need me? Do you really need me?

(Verse 2)
And will you always be there?
Ev'ry night and ev'ry day I'm always thinking of you in ev'ry way.
All I know when I'm with you
you make me feel so good through and through

(Chorus)
Candy girl
you are my world
You're ev'rything
you're ev'rything
you're ev'rything to me.
Candy girl
all I want to say
I need your love each and everyday day.

Hey fellas ! What? Check out Mike and Bobbie's ladies - Ooh!
And we'll check out Rikki and Ralph! Ooh!
What about Ronnie's? She's bad
she's bad I know she's bad.

She walks so fast
she looks so sweet
She makes my heart actually skip a beat.

My girl's the best and that's no lie
she tells me that I'm her only guy.

That might be true but my girl's a joy
she don't play around
She's right to the point.

My girl's like candy
a candy treat
she knocks me right off of my feet.

Oh Candy
your love's so sweet
oh Candy
my special treat.

CANDY!!
you're my candy
CANDY GIRL!!
Candy
CANDY!!
you're my candy
CANDY GIRL!!
candy

candy girl
you are my world
I need your love each and ev'ry day.
Candy girl
all I want to say
You're ev'rything
you're ev'rything
you're ev'rything to me.
Candy girl
you are my world
I need your love each and ev'ry day. . . .
Candy girl
I need it
need it
need it
need it
need it ev'ry day.”

, now where’s the trill there! What cannot be seen is far more revealing and compelling than what can be seen..
“Girly Girl!!” I personally like girly girl in a woman! To pull off girly girl in a music video is a daunting task especially if you’ve got that stripper slutty attitude
“Girly girl is a slang term for a girl or woman who chooses to dress and behave in an especially feminine style, such as wearing pink, using make-up, dressing in skirts, dresses and blouses, and talking about relationships and other activities which are associated with the traditional gender role of a girl.
Though the term is sometimes used as a term of disdain, it can also be used in a more positive way, particularly in terms of exploring one of a range of gender positions. Being a 'girly girl' can then be seen as a fluid and partially embodied position - a form of discourse taken up, discarded or modified for tactical/strategic ends.[1]”
In 1988 Kylie Minogue had to pull off “ Girly Girl,’ in an authentic manner in the 80’s music video “ Hand on your heart.” This involved various facial expressions, all sorts of bodily movements and genuine ‘girly girl, attitude! The obligatory hand movements and her punch line, “ Look me in the eye and tell me you don’t need my love??”
She didn’t have to parade in her underwear to crate sex appeal. My eyes were in the usual places, cleavage and groin area! It’s a guy thing!
I proudly give you a textbook example of “ Girly Girl.”

“Put your hand on your heart and tell me
That we're through, ooh
Oh, put your hand on your heart
Hand on your heart

Well it's one thing to fall in love
But another to make it last
I thought that we were just beginning
And now you say we're in the past
Oh, look me in the eye
And tell me we are really through

You know it's one thing to say you love me
But another to mean it from the heart
And if you don't intend to see it through
Why did we ever start
Oh, I wanna hear you tell me
You don't want my love

Put your hand on your heart and tell me
It's all over
I won't believe it till you
Put your hand on your heart and tell me
That we're through, ooh

Oh, put your hand on your heart
Hand on your heart

They like to talk about forever
But most people never get the chance
Do you wanna lose our love together
Do you find a new romance
Oh, I wanna hear you tell me
You don't want my love

Oh, put your hand on your heart
Hand on your heart

look me in the eye
And tell me we are really through”

Definately worth revisiting!! This girly girly concept in a woman is much sought after, that is from the perspective of my peeps and I...

How to win a chick’s heart poor boy style! Okay, so you can’t dance to save your life, but your chick would like to have a dance with her guy! What do you do? Simple: Go to your mom and ask her to teach you to dance…
‘Mom, can you do me a favour..?”

Someday we'll know

“90 miles outsideChicago
Can't stop driving
I don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later, you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Emilia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the Titanic cry
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place where I met you
For the 97th time tonight

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me?”

Overkill? Definately!!! These next 2 posts are to pay homage to the sheer magic of this one movie! A singular pleasure indeed! Jamie, if only you were an existing person!!!!
