Danger Zone Lyrics

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the danger zone

Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the track
And shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the danger zone
I'll take you
Ridin' into the danger zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the danger zone
Gonna take you
Right into the danger zone

Highway to the danger zone

Danger Zone Song Chart

This was featured in the action scenes of the 1986 movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. After the movie came out, the US Navy had a slew of applicants for it's flying program.

This was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, who also wrote "Take My Breath Away" for the movie. A year later, they wrote "Meet Me Halfway," which Loggins recorded for the arm wrestling movie Over The Top.

Loggins was a movie soundtrack mainstay in the '80s, and had a #1 hit with the theme song to the movie Footloose two years earlier. Asked in 2007 about performing these soundtrack songs in concerts, Loggins said of "Danger Zone," "It's a good rock 'n' roll song, but I don't think it holds up that well."

Nissan used this in commercials. The spots were a parody of Top Gun, with birds trying to poop on the cars.

Arrival In Nara Lyrics

As she submarines
The rope loops 'round her feeble feet
Before the dawn
Breaks on her sorry grasp

In a blink and in one motion
Rope constricts
Rips her towards the ocean

She never finds her bearings
Sucking splash into her lungs

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

And though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

Oh ooh

See Me, Feel Me Song Chart

This is the last song on Tommy, the first "Rock Opera." It tells the story of a deaf, dumb, and blind kid who becomes a pinball champion and is idolized by his followers. This was a very uplifting song to end the rock opera. The show got mostly good reviews.

The Who performed the album from start to finish on their tour. Roger Daltrey sang this as the character Tommy.

The message of unification and hope in this song was inspired by Meher Baba, a guru Pete Townshend was following. Townshend wrote Tommy in an attempt to bring people together through rock music.

Tommy was made into a play as well as a movie. The 1975 movie starred Jack Nicholson, Ann Margaret, Tina Turner and Elton John. Daltrey played Tommy and Keith Moon was the evil Uncle Ernie.

On Tommy, this is played as one song with "We're Not Gonna Take It," which follows this on the single release.

Some of the names Townshend considered before settling on "Tommy" were "Deaf, Dumb and Blind Boy," "The Amazing Journey," and "Brain Opera."

The Who played all of Tommyat Woodstock, and they performed this song just as the sun was rising on the third morning of the festival in 1969. That image from Woodstock helped launch Roger Daltrey's career as a sex symbol and The Who's success in America.

This title of this song is also the title of a Biopic about Who drummer Keith Moon. The full title of the movie is See Me, Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked for Your Pleasure. It is produced by Who frontman Roger Daltrey and Mike Myers plays Moon. (thanks, Mike - Syracuse, NY)

Bloodflood Pt.II Lyrics

Bloodflood Pt.II Song Chart

This is a sequel to the An Awesome Wave track, "Bloodflood," which told a semi-fictional story of vocalist Joe Newman being attacked in a Southampton park called The Common.

Newman sings here:

Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men

The first line was inspired by a lyric from rapper Big Punisher's 1998 track "Twinz (Deep Cover '98)":

Dead in the middle of Little Italy.
Little did we know that we riddle some middlemen who didn't do diddle

Newman explained to NME: "There's a gang in Southampton (his hometown) called The Mandela Boys. We were scared s---less of them when we were kids."

"The next line, 'Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys soon become Mandela Men' refers to the narrator wondering whether they're still in the gang or if they've just all got jobs and kids now."

Joe Newman explained the story of the song to Nothing But Hope and Passion : "Bloodflood began as just a riff and a melody that eventually became a verse idea," he said. "It didn't really dawn on any of any of us to turn it into Bloodflood Part II until we started writing towards a second album. I think as the ideas started to evolve, we started thinking about having a Bloodflood Part II and it being related to the other side of the story."

"The first part of the story is about a guy that's been slapped," Newman added, "while the second is about the guy that's slapped him."

Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa

Right Now Song Chart

The song is a message about living in the moment. It came at a time of worldwide political change, especially in Eastern Europe and The Soviet Union.

In 1993, this was used in commercials for Crystal Pepsi, a clear cola. The commercials were good, but the product was a huge flop as consumers decided they would rather not see through their soft drink. The group was criticized for "selling out" when the ads came out, but they did it because Pepsi was going to use the song with or without them. Pepsi got the rights to the song, and would have had a sound-alike group record it. Van Halen figured it was best to let them use their version and at least get paid for it.

See a photo and learn more about Crystal Pepsi in Song Images .

The writers of a song called "The Right Now Collection" sued the band, claiming the title was too similar to theirs.

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was out for 8 months before this was released as a single. It did not chart well, but the album went to #1.

In 1993, Van Halen released their first live album. It was called Live: Right Here, Right Now.

The first letters of the album title spell out a naughty word. This was intentional.

The old phone number of a friend of the band was written on the album cover. It belonged to a family in Tulsa, who got besieged by phone calls and sued the band.

The video won for Best Video, Best Editing, and Best Direction at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

Carolyn Mayer Beug, who also worked with Rod Stewart and Dwight Yoakam, directed the video. She was on board flight 11, which was hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

During the 2008 presidential campaign this was played at a Republican Party rally following Sarah Palin's introductory speech, after she'd been chosen as John McCain's running mate. A statement was made regarding its use by an unnamed member of Van Halen's management, which said: "Permission was not sought or granted nor would it have been given [to use the song]." However Sammy Hagar, who co-wrote and sang the song, was more positive. He said in a statement: "When I wrote the lyrics to 'Right Now' I intended them to inspire people to not sit around and wait for something they believed in but to go out and get it - to make a change however they needed to. Whether it was McCain who used the song or if Obama had chosen to use the song, with the current political climate, the lyrics still have the same meaning, and we all need to do something to make a difference, every action counts."

As the closing credits roll on the 1984 movie The Wild Life, starring Eric Stoltz and Chris Penn, an instrumental version of "Right Now" is playing, and sure enough the music credits include Eddie Van Halen. All of this eight years before the song is released, this time with lyrics, on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. (thanks, Bill - Clinton, IL)

Something in the Water Lyrics

He said, "I've been where you've been before.
Down every hallway's a slamming door."
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me

Then somebody said what I'm saying to you
Opened my eyes and told me the truth."
They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better."
So I followed that preacher man down to the river

And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger

There must've been Something in the Water
Oh, there must've been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn't think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees
Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me."
Felt love pouring down from above
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood

And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water

And now I'm singing along to amazing grace
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty, I saw the light
Gonna look ahead, no turning back
Live everyday, give it all that I have
Trust in someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed

I am changed
And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water

Oh, yeah I am changed
Stronger

Something in the Water Song Chart

A brand new song included on Carrie Underwood's Greatest Hits: Decade #1 album, this was released as a single on September 29, 2014. "It's really kind of a joyous, uplifting song about changing your life for the better and kind of having that 'a-ha' moment," Underwood explained, "to waking up and your life being different from that moment forward."

Carrie Underwood wrote the song along with Chris DeStefano ("Good Girl") and Brett James ("Cowboy Casanova"). The singer's longtime producer Mark Bright was the guy behind the console.

DeStefano told Taste of Country the song came together easily in one writing session. "Going in to write with Carrie, it's always an adventure, because obviously she can do so many different things stylistically," he said. "I had this little musical idea I brought in. It was basically just a lot of instruments, and the vibe was kinda there. It just had an emotion to it. I started playing it in the room for Brett and Carrie, and I remember saying, 'Well, you guys are hopefully gonna like this, or hate it.'"

The other writers did like DeStefano's idea, and it was Underwood who provided the song's title. "She said, 'I have this song title, 'Something in the Water,' and she kind of explained what she wanted to write about, and we were just immediately like, 'Oh gosh, that would really be beautiful over this,'" DeStefano recalled. "So we immediately knew. It was just one of those things where the whole vibe of the song really began at that point, really strong right from the get-go."

'There must be something in the water' is a humorous way of accounting for unusual or eccentric behavior. Other songs utilizing the phrase include:

"Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)" by Prince (A bluesy funk cut from the Purple maestro's 1999 album.)

"Something in the Water" by Brooke Fraser (The lead single from Brooke Fraser's Flags album, it topped the New Zealand singles charts in 2010.)

"California Gurls" by Katy Perry (Includes the lyric: "I know a place. Where the grass is really greener. Warm, wet n' wild. There must be something in the water.")

The song finds Underwood revisiting the turning to God of her hit single "Jesus, Take The Wheel." In this instance she is singing about water baptism.

I followed that preacher man down to the river
And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger
There must've been something in the water

We hear Underwood testifying to "singing along to 'Amazing Grace" adding that "no one can wipe this smile off my face." Later on she belts out a few lines from the classic hymn.

Here are three more songs about baptism:

"Take Me to the River" by Al Green

"Changed" by Rascal Flatts

"Rebirthing" by Skillet

The immersion in or sprinkling with water as a religious rite of initiation was practiced long before the beginning of Christianity. Here's some baptism trivia:

St. Augustine laid the foundations for infant baptism. He taught that people are born with an affinity for sin and as descendants of Adam and Eve share in the guilt of original sin. Therefore he believed infant baptism was important.

The Anabaptists were one of the first groups during the Reformation to reject infant baptism and practice the baptism of adults upon confession of faith. These brave Christians were often drowned by their persecutors as the authorities supposed if they wanted to be fully immersed- let them!

A Swedish pastor was electrocuted as he stood in a pool of water for a baptism ceremony, when one of his assistants handed him a live microphone.

The priest at young Boris Yeltsen’s christening was so drunk that he dropped baby Boris into the font then forgot he was there. (Source The Encyclopedia of Trivia ).

This became Underwood's 14th #1 on the country chart following her performance of the song during the 2014 CMA Awards .

This won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance.

The song's music clip was directed by Raj Kapoor and won both Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year at the 2015 CMT Awards. Underwood also won Collaborative Video of the Year for "Somethin' Bad" with Miranda Lambert at the same ceremony.

Pyramid Song Lyrics

I jumped in the river, what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see

All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see

All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt

Pyramid Song Song Chart

Lead singer Thom Yorke wrote this. He based it on a song by the Jazz player Charles Mingus called "Freedom."

This originally contained handclaps, but the group didn't like how they came out and erased them.

Radiohead performed this at some of their shows before releasing it on the album. It was known as "Egyptian Song."

Their albums Kid A and Amnesiac were recorded at the same time, but Amnesiac was released a few weeks later.

In 2003, this was used in a public service announcement for forest fire prevention in the US. Radiohead never allows their music to be used for commercial purposes, but Thom Yorke thought this was a good cause so he let them use it for $1.

This was written by Thom Yorke after a visit to an exhibition of Egyptian art, during a two-week sojourn in Copenhagen in 1999. He told MTV: "That song literally took five minutes to write, but yet it came from all these mad places. [It's] something I never thought I could actually get across in a song and lyrically. [But I] managed it and that was really, really tough. [Physicist] Stephen Hawking talks about the theory that time is another force. It's [a] fourth dimension and [he talks about] the idea that time is completely cyclical, it's always doing this [spins finger]. It's a factor, like gravity. It's something that I found in Buddhism as well. That's what Pyramid Song' is about, the fact that everything is going in circles."

According to Colin Greenwood, it was the image of "people being ferried across the river of death" that most affected York. This is reflected in the song's many references to Dante's imaginary journey through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven, Divine Comedy. These include the black-eyed angels, a moon full of stars and jumping into the river.

Yorke hammered out this track's chord progression on a baby grand piano that he had bought, in rejection of Radiohead's guitar-led past.

The siren - like sonic undertow was produced by Jonny Greenwood's ondes Martenot, an unusual Theremin-like device invented in 1928.

Magic Mountain Song Chart

The nearest to a call-to-arms as anything The Drums have done, the title refers to The Magic Mountain, a 1924 novel by German writer Thomas Mann. The song was released as the lead single from Encyclopedia, their first album in three years. "Let's knock them over the head and see what happens," vocalist Jonathan Pierce said of the track. "It feels like we're sticking our necks out."

"Three years is a long time to wait these days, for a band like us," he added. "I feel like we've been given an amazing opportunity. This is an album about being yourself and protecting yourself. We made this beautiful record, so why be timid now about what we want to say?"

Thomas Mann's novel is set in a Swiss sanatorium high up in the Alps. The action takes place not only there, but also in a figuratively, a reclusive, separate world.

Jump Song Chart

David Lee Roth has given various accounts of the meaning behind the lyrics, but he usually says they are about a TV news story he saw where a man was about to kill himself by jumping off a building (Roth thought, "Might as well jump"). He's also said the song is about a stripper.

This was Van Halen's first #1 hit, and their only #1 with David Lee Roth as lead singer.

Eddie Van Halen played this on an Oberheim OB-Xa synthesizer (Oberheim was a large synth manufacturer during the '80s). He was classically trained on piano growing up, and didn't start playing guitar until he was a teenager. (thanks, William - Brentwood, TN)

The synthesizer was a point of contention in the band. Eddie wanted to use it, but Roth thought it would look like they were selling out to get more radio play. Using a synthesizer instead of a guitar as the lead instrument was a huge departure for Van Halen, but most of their fans didn't hold it against them.

As early as 1981, Eddie Van Halen had written the keyboard part that would eventually become this song. David Lee Roth didn't like the idea of Eddie playing keyboards, and it wasn't until Eddie had built his own recording studio (5150) that he recorded the song with Ted Templeman during a late night recording session. When hearing the song, the band decided to include it on the 1984 album - something that is rumored to have contributed to Roth's departure a year later. (thanks, Eric - Atlanta, GA)

The album was released on January 9, 1984, ending (by nine days) Van Halen's streak of releasing one album every year since 1978.

The video was low-budget but highly successful. Directed by Pete Angelus and the band, it was simply 8-millimeter film footage of Van Halen performing, highlighted by Roth's slow motion spread-eagle jump (first seen on MTV in Def Leppard's "Photograph" video).

While it looks kind of ridiculous today, the video was groundbreaking and set the standard for cheap performance videos that hapless directors still try to emulate. To produce such a video, the band is recorded performing the song several times from beginning to end. Then, the band members are shot doing random stage moves without the pretense of actually playing the song (note that Eddie is seen playing the guitar at times when no guitar can be heard). Some candid footage is shot with the band goofing around, and it's off to the edit room where the footage is chopped up into a video.

While most bands lack the charisma to pull off moves like the "bass player duck under the lead singer's leg" and "point guitar directly into the camera," they try lame versions of it anyway, using such tactics as "run to the camera and stop" and "blow a kiss." In an age when anyone can make a video but most bands lack the money and talent to make a good one, these videos have proliferated, and none has lived up to the standard set by Van Halen with "Jump." For a good example of a low budget performance video gone horribly wrong, check out this clip from The Forgotten Rebels.

The video won Best Stage Performance Video at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984. MTV quickly discontinued the category as music videos became more creative and relied less on footage of bands performing the song.

The B-side of the US single is "House Of Pain." In 1991, a group called House Of Pain had a hit with a song called "Jump Around."

1984 was David Lee Roth's last album with Van Halen, and the video for "Jump" conflated the tensions that led to his departure. The video was produced by Robert Lombard, who wanted to show the personal side of the band on stage. Roth, however, wanted the performance intercut with footage of him in various hedonistic pursuits, so they shot him doing things like riding a motorcycle and getting arrested while wearing nothing but a towel. Lombard edited the video and used none of the extra Roth footage, taking it to Eddie and Alex for approval. Two days later, the band's manager fired him for bypassing Roth; Lombard says he never received the award the video won from MTV.

Even the performance scenes were delicate. Lombard said in the book I Want My MTV: "I didn't shoot them together until the end of the day. I was trying to keep the peace, because I felt tension amongst them. David thought he was bigger than the rest of them."

Some of the David Lee Roth specialty footage ended up in their video for "Panama." Roth was replaced in the band by Sammy Hagar in 1986.

This was the first album recorded at Eddie Van Halen's 5150 studio. In California, 5150 is police code for a mental case.

Eddie used the outro guitar solo at the very end of this song to come up with the idea for the intro guitar riff to Van Halen's later hit, "Standing On Top (Of The World)." (thanks, Dave - Marieta, GA)

Aztec Camera recorded a mellow, acoustic cover in 1984.

Although "Jump" is fairly light-hearted for a rock single, in January 2010 a DJ who played it at an "inappropriate time" found himself in hot water. The song was requested by a driver stuck in traffic on the M60, and played by Steve Penk, who came underfire because the delay had been caused by police closing several lanes of the motorway while attempting to talk down a woman who was threatening to jump from a bridge. After nearly nine hours, she leapt, shortly after the song was played. Amazingly she survived, albeit with serious leg injuries. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

In an interview with Mix magazine, Daryl Hall said that the Hall & Oates song "Kiss On My List" was an influence on this one. Said Hall: "[Eddie] Van Halen told me that he copied the synth part from 'Kiss on My List' and used it in 'Jump.' I don't have a problem with that at all."

Music rights body PRS For Music held a vote among its members to find out the most popular sporting song in the run up to the 2012 London Olympics. "Jump" came top of the poll, with The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" in second place and Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher" in third.

They're dancin' in Chicago (They'll be dancin')
Down in New Orleans (Dancin' in the streets)
Up in New York City (Dancing in the Streets)
All we need is music (Sweet sweet)
Sweet music (sweet sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (sweet music everywhere)
(Ooh-oo-ooh) There'll be swingin', swayin', records playin'
Dancin' in the street
(Ah) Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on (Ah) every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, 'round the world
There'll be dancin', dancin' in the street
(Ooh-oo-ooh) It's just an invitation, 'cross the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin', singin', music swingin'
Dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, PA (Dancin' in the street)

Can't forget the Motor City (Dancin' in the streets)
All we need is music (Sweet sweet)
Sweet music (sweet sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (sweet music everywhere)

Dancing in the Street Song Chart

This was originally recorded by Motown group Martha & the Vandellas in 1965. It was written by Marvin Gaye along with songwriters Ivy Hunter and William Stevenson.

Van Halen was looking for a cover song to release as a single following their 1981 "Invasion" tour to fill the gap before their next album. Eddie Van Halen couldn't come up with a guitar riff for this in time, so they did "Pretty Woman" instead. They recorded this with the album and released it at the same time.

This is one of the few songs that Eddie overdubbed his guitar on. Most Van Halen songs at the time were recorded live, with very little overdubbing, but it was the only way Eddie could get the textured sound he wanted.

Diver Down contained 4 other cover songs. The band needed a break from songwriting and chose to fill the album with other people's songs.

Eddie played the synthesizer intro at the beginning. The synthesizer became a big part of the Van Halen sound 2 years later on their album 1984.

The tour to support the album was called the "Hide Your Sheep Tour."

The video was only the second Van Halen made. The first was for "Pretty Woman."

Never Give All Your Heart Lyrics

She left a letter on the table
Said she'd be home by five
Smell of old coffee lingers on my mind
I won't wait to hear those footsteps
Climb those old creaky stairs
Every lonely night I miss her presence everywhere
Cry to the sky above
Never Give All Your Heart for love
You cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart for love

Familiar places that we went to
Become like dying vines
You should pay for a reminder of love in better times
Such a hard time to get over
Such a deep love that's lost
From the sun the morning dew the moon the heat and frost
Cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart for love
And cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart for love
And cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart for love

The heat of passion will deceive you
Make you a different man
Turns peasants to kings
Draw dirt to fertile land
So jungle walkin' hooligan
Have my gun at my side
Such a lender of this march until they died
Withe powers to give just enough
Never give all your heart for love
You cry to sky above
Never give all your heart for love
And cry to sky above
Never give all your heart for love

This hard-rocking Different Shades Of Blue cut was co-written by Bonamassa with Journey's Jonathan Cain.
"He's a real deep musician," the blues-rock guitarist noted to Billboard magazine. "He knows the blues really well. He gets typecast 'cause he's in Journey, but when you say, 'Let's write something like Free with Paul Rodgers, he's like, 'Yeah, I'm into that!' and it just came out."
