» Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher - Jackie Wilson «

Your love, liftin' me higher
than I've ever.. been lifted before
so keep it up, quench my desire
and I'll be at your side forevermore

You know your love
keeps on liftin'
higher - higher and higher
I said your love!
Keeps on
liftin' me - higher and higher

Listen..

now once I was downhearted
disappointment was my closest friend
but then you came and he soon departed
and you know he never showed his face again

that's why your love
keeps on liftin' me
Higher - higher and higher
I said your love!
Keeps on
Liftin' me - higher and higher

Awww

I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls (er samt ekki lesbía)
And now with.. my lovin' arms around ya
Honey, I can stand up - and face the world

Let me tell ya your love
Keeps on liftin'
Higher - higher and higher
I said your love!
Keeps on
Liftin' me
higher and higher

Takk fyrir að vera til.

» Mr. E's Beautiful Blues - Eels «

The smokestack spitting black soot into the sooty sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the indian's eye
The elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The ringmaster's telecaster sings on an empty stage

Aha

Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day , aha

The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawling out her window 'cause her daddy
He just don't care
Come on

Aha

Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha

The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger let me tell you gave us quite a scare

Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha

The kids flip their lids when their ids hear that crazy sound
My neighbor digs the flavor still he's moving to another town
And I don't believe he'll come back

Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha

Well i don't know how you take in all the shit you see
No don't believe anyone and most of all
Don't believe me

Believe you

Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha
Goddamn right it's a beautiful day, aha

» Jammin' - Bob Marley «

Ooh, yeah! All right!
We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.

Ain't no rules, ain't no vow, we can do it anyhow:
I'n'I will see you through,
'Cos everyday we pay the price with a little sacrifice,
Jammin' till the jam is through.

We're jammin' -
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past;
We're jammin',
And I hope this jam is gonna last.

No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we won't bow;
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right; Jah - Jah children must unite:
Your life is worth much more than gold.

We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
And we're jammin' in the name of the Lord;
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'),
We're jammin' right straight from Yah.

Yeh! Holy Mount Zion;
Holy Mount Zion:
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all creation.

Yeah, we're - we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
Wotcha-wa-wa-wa, we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
See, I wanna jam it wid you
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
I'm jammed: I hope you're jammin', too.

Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist,
So jam by my side.

We're Jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'), yeah-eah-eah!
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin',
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin';
Hope you like jammin', too.
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin'),
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin').
I wanna (I wanna jam it wid you) - I wanna -
I wanna jam wid you now.
Jammin', jammin' (hope you like jammin' too).
Eh-eh! I hope you like jammin', I hope you like jammin',
'Cause (I wanna jam it wid you). I wanna ... wid you.
I like - I hope you - I hope you like jammin', too.
I wanna jam it;
I wanna jam it.

"The group's name is not Pony Canyon- that's a distribution/production company or something. "Yatta" is more or less the work of a comedy duo called "Ucchan-Nanchan" (after the two guys' names: Uchimura and Nanbara). They have a tv show that's sort of half variety-show, half sketch comedy, and "Yatta" started out as a sketch on that show. The sketch was about a mythical music group called "Happa-tai" (Leaf Squad, more or less- that's what it says between "Yatta" and "Pony Canyon" at the beginning) where all the members wear only a leaf and sing this happy song called "Yatta" (literally, "I did it", figuratively "Yeah" or "All right!" It's what Chun-Li says when she wins). It was just absurdist, there's no deep meaning.

The guys in the group are Ucchan and Nanchan and the regular cast of their show- a comedy trio called Neptune and some other guy I don't know. Anyway, Ucchan-Nanchan kept reviving this sketch in different ways, as sketch comedy shows so often do, and eventually got to the point where they made a music video and would occasionally appear on other shows as the Happa-tai."

Try keeping dogs--they're cute! (All right!)

As we brushed past each other, you favored me with a smile.
It's okay if we never meet again. I'm lucky you were here just for a while!

We've got recession these days...in goverment we've no faith.
Could we hit "reset," that'd be number one! And since we're all here, it's just so much fun!

All right! All right!
In university class
All right! All right!
We've got a movie star!
Long as we've one leaf on, we're doin' fine! We're all together, it's a happy time!

All right! All right!
Long as we still can breathe in...
All right! All right!
Long as we still can breathe out...

Everybody say "All right!"
