Uh Huh Song Chart
This helped B2K's debut album reach #2 on the US Billboard charts.
This was produced by C. "Tricky" Stewart, who also worked with Blu Cantrell and Usher.
The video is featured on "Introducing B2K," a DVD EP. This is a collection of the group's videos, and includes interviews and some making-of specials. It hit stores May 14, 2002.
Each verse is sung by a different member of the band.
The video was done by Hype Williams, the top director for R&B and rap videos. He has done TLC's "No Scrubs," "What's It Gonna Be" by Busta Rhymes featuring Janet Jackson, and "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" by Missy Elliot. Just to name a few.
This video showcases the foursome's slick dance moves that helped them garner attention within the recording industry.
I spend half of each day just eyeing the clock And dream of all the things I'd like to do
And nothing ever changes from day to day - I've just been guarding this desk for you. It's a mayday It's a mayday There must be something else I could do - It's a mayday It's a mayday Instead of guarding this desk for
Time's Up! You've been wishing your life away. Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. I'm getting very tired of waiting for the weekend
Then there's nothing when it comes around. I need a little more excitement Give me some adventure - I don't know you' ve held me this long. It's a mayday It's a mayday Time just marches on. It's a mayday It's a mayday I don't know how you've held me this long. Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. . . . Chances are chances and I know I've had a few But at the time it just seemed wrong
Now I'm sitting here wondering Waiting watching out his window And I'm sure my day will come. It's a mayday It's a mayday Time just marches on - It's a mayday It's a mayday But I'm sure my day will come. Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. . . . Time's up! You've been wishing your life away. . . .

Time's Up Song Chart
A track from the Canadian band Saga's most successful album, "Time's Up" wasn't a hit but did become a live favorite. In our interview with lead singer Michael Sadler , he talked about the song's meaning: "It's about being a daydreamer and a man of inaction sitting there going, 'Well, if I could do this and I could do that.' And before you know it, time has passed by and you didn't do any of those things you were thinking. You didn't act on any one of them.
You may have some passion about a few different things, but if you just sit there going, 'Boy, wouldn't it be great if I did this?' And 'Wouldn't it be great if I did that?' Well, you'd better get off your tush and start doing something, brother, because it's going to be too late to do something about it before you know it."
"Kinderfeld" is about Marilyn Manson's Grandfather Jack Warner, who used to go into his basement and masturbate, then cover this behavior by saying he was playing with a train set. As Manson explains in his book The Long Hard Road Out of Hell , his grandparents had strict punitive rules that they would reinforce with making him kneel on broomsticks ("I had to kneel on broomsticks just to make it go away"). He broke the rules often because the pain made him forget what he saw. Other forms of punishment are referenced in the lyrics "three holes upon the leather belt, the gut is swollen the edge the edge is showing, there is no one her to save ourselves." The song also refers to how parents and religion tell us what to think and feel ("This is what you should fear"). (thanks, Shaun - Adelaide, Australia)
As a child, Manson always wanted to witness the forbidden. This led to his spying on his grandfather, along with spying on naked women. Around that same time in his childhood, he began having vivid dreams filled with distorted images of the things he saw. These images still haunt him in his sleep and have led to the creation of many of his songs.
The Canadian band Saga released their first album in 1978. Twenty albums later, they issued Sagacity, which featured this track.
In our interview with lead singer Michael Sadler , he said the song is about "telling little white lies." Said Sadler: "Are you going to come clean or are you going to just let it slide this time? Which you can do at a certain point, but after a while you're going to have to 'fess up to something."
Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree Travel the world and the seven seas Everybody looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree Travel the world and the seven seas Everybody is looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused.
I want to used you and abused you I want to know what's inside Moving on hold your head, Moving on keep your head, Moving on hold your head, Moving on keep your head, Moving on hold your head, Moving on keep your head, Moving on.
Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree Travel the world and the seven seas Everybody looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused
I gotta used you and abused you I gotta know what's inside I gotta used you and abused you I gotta know what's inside you

Eurythmics originally recorded this song in 1982. Manson gave it a much more ominous sound fitting of the band.
The album is a collection of remixes and covers, with a few originals. This was the only song to get a lot of attention.
This paved the way for Manson's next record, Antichrist Superstar, to debut at #3 on the US albums chart. This put him in strange company: the top two spots were held by Celine Dion and Kenny G.
Around the time this was released, Manson was gaining a cult following of alienated white suburban teens.
This became a hit thanks to MTV, which declared this a "Buzzworthy" video and put it in heavy rotation.
This was produced by Nine Inch Nails leader and Manson's mentor, Trent Reznor.
Manson often comes up with song inspiration in his dreams, but the idea to cover this song came from his first acid trip, according to his autobiography The Long Hard Road out of Hell . He says that he hallucinated a "slower, meaner" version of the dance hit playing, sung in his voice. (thanks, Stefano - Old Bridge, NJ)
In Manson's auto-biography, he related to this song by mentioning that he met people who wanted to be abused by him; and who wanted to use him as well. (thanks, Renae - Mill Grove, PA)
This would be a shocking song title for most acts, but The Meatmen do not write songs for the easily offended. A track from their eighth album, the idea for this song came to lead singer Tesco Vee when he took a walk to clear the cobwebs.
Tesco remembered his son telling him about a guy he worked with in Lansing, Michigan. This workplace did not look kindly on drug use, and did random test. This guy was 46 years old, had worked there for four years, and was far from a stoner. He did, however, take a few tokes one weekend and got hit with a drug test that detected it. When Tesco asked his son what happened, he replied that he got fired because he "pissed hot for weed."
Tesco says there is a message here. "It's kind of a 'legalize it now' kind of a song," he told us. "But of course it has the typical Tesco lyrics about the dalliance with a beautiful young girl who, over a pitcher of Mountain Dew, decides to pull out a blunt of high-test booze. And the rest is history."
I guess I should of known By the way you parked your car sideways That it wouldn't last See you're the kinda person That believes in makin' out once Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb 'Cause you had a pocket full of horses Trojan and some of them used But it was Saturday night I guess that makes it all right And you say what have I got to lose? And honey I say
Little Red Corvette Baby you're much too fast Little red Corvette You need a love that's gonna last
I guess I should of closed my eyes When you drove me to the place Where your horses run free 'Cause I felt a little ill When I saw all the pictures Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not I started to worry I wondered if I had enough class But it was Saturday night I guess that makes it all right And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?" Oh yeah
Little red Corvette Baby you're much to fast, yes you are Little red Corvette You need to find a love that's gonna last, ah huh
A body like yours (A body like yours) Oughta be in jail (Oughta be in jail) 'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene ('Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene) Move over baby (Move over baby) Gimme the keys (Gimme the keys) I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine (I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine)

Little Red Corvette Song Chart
Prince got the idea for this when he dozed off in backup singer Lisa Coleman's pink Edsel after an exhausting all night recording session. The lyrics came to him in bits and pieces during this and other catnaps. Eventually he was able to finish it without sleeping.
This is about sex, but it's just obscure enough not to offend anybody. Many of his earlier songs, like "Head," "Dirty Mind," and "Soft And Wet," were blatantly sexual, which turned off radio stations.
For Prince, this was his first big hit. Over the next few years he had many more, making him extremely popular on radio stations and as a concert draw.
Previous Prince material was much more raw and funky than this. This was much more slick, which led to radio play and commercial success.
1999 was Prince's fifth album. He had just modest success to this point, his biggest hit being the #11 "I Wanna Be Your Lover" four years earlier.
The line, "She had a pocket full of horses, Trojans, some of them used," refers to Trojan condoms. The "Jockeys" represent men who have previously slept with the girl. These were veiled sexual references that not enough people got to make the song be considered offensive.
Stevie Nicks got the idea for "Stand Back" from this song. She heard it in her car, drove to the recording studio, and put down some tracks. "It just gave me an incredible idea, so I spent many hours that night writing a song about some kind of crazy argument, and it was to become one of the most important of my songs," she remembered in the liner notes for Timespace.
Prince came in and added the keyboard bit. As Nicks tells it, he came up with the riff as soon as he started playing it.
This was one of the first videos by a black artist to get regular airplay on MTV. Michael Jackson was the first to break the color barrier on MTV with "Billie Jean," and this came soon after. The band shot the clip during a tour stop in Jacksonville; the song was already a radio hit when they made it.
"1999" was released before this and didn't do well, but it was re-released after this became a hit and went to #12 in the US.
In 2001, Chevrolet put up billboards with a picture of a red 1963 Corvette Sting Ray that said, "They don't write songs about Volvos." In 2003, Chevrolet used this in a commercial that aired for the first time during the Grammys. The ad showed old footage of The Beach Boys performing "My 409" followed by Don McLean singing "American Pie" ("drove my Chevy to the levee"), and then Prince performing this. The camera then goes outside the club to show Chevy's latest model.
There was a Billboard for the Chevrolet Corvette made from this song as well. It had the lyric "Little Red Corvette, baby ur much 2 fast" and Prince's logo over the Corvette. It was displayed behind the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky in 2003. (thanks, Mike - Melbourne, FL)
Renaissance lead singer Annie Haslam is an accomplished painter, and often feels that she is channeling Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent van Gogh in her work.
Da Vinci was the inspiration for this song, as Annie thought about the last few years of his life, where Leonardo lived at the Chateau of Cloux in France in service to the king. "It was like he was in my head," Annie told us . "I could see him going to the window and opening up these curtains and connecting with the light. I was so excited about it."
Michael Dunford, who was the longtime guitarist for Renaissance, wrote the music for this song. It was one of his last works, as Dunford died on November 20, 2012 before the album was released. In 2014, the album was reissued with three bonus track, one of which was written in honor of Dunford called "Renaissance Man."
Annie Haslam draws parallels between Dunford and Da Vinci, as they were both exceptionally creative and giving. Da Vinci was known as "The Renaissance Man," and that title was also fitting for Dunford. The songs bookend the album, with "Symphony of Light" the opening track and "Renaissance Man" closing it.
Annie Haslam had a hard time convincing Michael Dunford to release a song about Leonardo da Vinci, as Dunford thought it was "too literal." Annie won him over after pointing out another beloved song about a famous painter: "Vincent" by Don McLean.
This is a remix of the original "Pass The Courvoisier," which appears on Busta's 2001 album Genesis. In 2002, he reworked the song into a monster jam featuring P. Diddy, who raps with him on the track, and Pharrell Williams, who sings the "looks like them asses is swollen" hook. Williams produced the song with his Neptunes partner Chad Hugo. This new version was released as a single and featured on the soundtracks to the movies Love Don't Cost a Thing (2003) and Taxi (2004).
Here's a breakdown of the samples used in "Pass The Courvoisier Part II":
"Scenario" by A Tribe Called Quest. Busta performed on this 1992 song, which used various samples of its own, including "Give It Up" by Kool & the Gang and "Little Miss Lover" by Jimi Hendrix.
"Shake Ya Ass" by Mystikal. This one was also written and produced by The Neptunes and features Pharrell on vocals.
"Easy Come, Easy Go" by Odyssey. This 1977 song was by a New York Disco group who had their biggest hit with "Native New Yorker" that same year. The song was written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, who wrote some hits for The Four Seasons. Providing some insight on how all these samples were cleared, Randell told us : "We worked it out with Warner Brothers at that time - they were licensed to use what they wanted to made their record."
"Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang. The part used sampled the famous bassline created by Bernard Edwards in "Good Times" by Chic, which he wrote with Nile Rodgers.
A total of 16 writers are credited on this track: Busta, Diddy, The Neptunes, and the composers of all the sampled material.
Courvoisier is an expensive French cognac. Typically considered an after dinner drink, it has grown in popularity and is often consumed at parties and mixed with other beverages. Some companies, like Motorola, paid to have their products mentioned in rap songs, but Courvoisier did not pay for this. Sales of Courvoisier surged after the song came out, increasing 20% over the previous year. In the advertising world, Puffy and Busta are known as "key influencers," meaning that if they use a product, others are likely to follow. Barbara Jackson, who was vice-president of marketing at the company that makes the beverage, said: "As a marketer, you're thrilled. You can't buy this. Well, you could, but it's more credible when you don't have to."
While there was no official deal with Courvoisier, the company did sponsor some lavish parties after some of Busta's concerts to show their support.
A few years before this came out, Courvoisier tried to expand their market by advertising to the urban community. They took out ads in black magazines and sponsored R&B concerts in an effort to shed their image as a beverage consumed by stuffy old white guys after dinner at the country club. The campaign worked very well.
Marketing to the hip-hop community became a very big deal for luxury beverage companies. In 2010, Hennessy launched Hennessy Black by commissioning a Swizz Beatz theme song for the drink called "When I Step Into the Club." Thanks to the rap community, cognac (or "the yak") sales bumped up about 37% from 2001-2007 before dropping in 2008 because of the recession. Companies who did not embrace this audience faced a backlash: When a Cristal executive answered a question about rappers mentioning the brand by saying, "What can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it," Jay-Z declared the company racist and pulled Cristal from his 40/40 sports bars.
Hennessy, a rival cognac brand, has also been mentioned in many rap songs, but they have never been included in the title of a hit song.
Mr. T has a prominent role in the video, including a scene where the rappers admire his gold chains. There's also a break in the action about 1:20 into the clip where Busta and Mo'Nique recreate a scene from the 1989 movie Harlem Nights where Eddie Murphy gets in a fight with Della Reese and shoots her in the pinky toe. Later on, Jamie Foxx shows up for a reworking of a scene from the movie Rush Hour 2.
Busta Rhymes claims that he prefers Hennessy to Courvoisier, but Courvoisier fit the song better.
Courvoisier was featured in a popular Saturday Night Live skit called "The Ladies Man," which was later made into a movie. Tim Meadows' character sips it as he talks about how to score with the chicks.

The title of the song stands for "All Day I Dream About Sex." It has nothing to do with the sporting goods company, although it is a common misperception that this is what "Adidas" stands for. The company is named after it's founder, Adi Dassler.
A minor radio hit, this song helped Life is Peachy, Korn's second album, debut at #3 on the Billboard albums chart. "A.D.I.D.A.S." was also the band's first song to nick the Billboard Hot 100, bubbling under at #113 (Korn's popularity was never well-represented on these charts). All this led to an appearance on the 1997 Lollapalooza tour, which helped cement Korn's status as a group with mass appeal.
Korn's songs are band compositions, with lead signer Jonathan Davis writing the lyrics. On this song, he takes a self-deprecating look at his sexual prowess, pointing out that most of his action happens in his mind.
This features a brief appearance by lead singer Jonathan Davis' son Nathan, at the time a newborn. He can be heard going, "ehhhhh!"
While the song is not about the sportswear company, the band was often clad in Adidas gear. And while Run–D.M.C. parleyed their Adidas song into an endorsement deal, Korn seemed content to wear the stripes for free.
Their allegiance shifted, however, in 1998 when the band signed a six-figure deal to promote Puma, who was looking to make inroads with Korn's demographic: kids who swag out in athletic wear. Some fans saw this as selling out, with the band turning their back on Adidas, but there was very little blowback from the deal, and Korn made no secret that they were cashing in. As part of the deal, Puma used the Korn song "Freak on a Leash" in commercials. The Adidas/Puma rivalry goes way back: Puma was founded by Rudolf Dassler, the brother of Adidas founder Adi Dassler.
The Puma deal didn't last long: in 2001, Korn traded their felines for chevrons, signing a deal with Pony, which also had Staind and Limp Bizkit on their roster. Pony even made kilts and custom shoes for Davis to wear on stage.
The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, opens with the aftermath of a car accident that killed all the band members. They're taken to the morgue where we find out that frontman Jonathan Davis wears women's underwear. Kahn started out directing rap videos and saw this video as a turning point in his career. He told Videostatic : "When I finally got a rock video like Korn, it was fun to take my slick hip hop sensibility and turn it loose on angry white guys. I guess it shocked people."
This was the first song released by Atreyu after a three-year hiatus. It was made available on their official website free of charge in exchange for signing up to the band's mailing list.
The song was inspired by one of vocalist Alex Varkatzas's best friends who used to serve in the armed forces. "The things our troops go through to protect us are pretty unreal," said the frontman. "Their treatment after leaves a lot to be desired, as well."
"The song honors them and condemns our government's constant deployment of these brave souls," Varkatzas continued. "The people who fight and die for us often come from a certain socio-economic background — the working class. The people making these decisions send our nation's children to war come from positions of privilege and wealth. Their kids aren't the ones getting deployed and they aren't risking their lives every day at work. Yet they order the working class to go 'keep us safe' at the drop of a hat, it feels like. It's bulls--t. It's the politicians and the rich of this country waging war to keep the majority preoccupied, so they can make money and advance their bulls–t political agendas. The expense is 'expendable' working class/poor Americans' lives, never the rich."
