Hey sexy lady ,

Shake it up shake it down; move it in move it round, disco lady.

Your mov-in me girl your groov-in me.

Disco Lady

Written by Don Davis, Harvey Scales and Lee Vance, this song was originally titled "Disco Baby." Scales brought the song to Davis, who was Taylor's producer, Davis came up with new lyrics inspired by an African dancer he saw in Spain who would draw all eyes to her when she started dancing. The Impressions had a song called "Gypsy Woman," and Davis used those themes to create his song - instead of a Gypsy Woman, he had a Disco Lady.

Johnnie Taylor, nicknamed the "Soul Philosopher," recorded for Stax Records until the label imploded in 1975. Moving to Columbia, his first release was this massive Disco hit, which finds Taylor singing the praises of a lady on the dancefloor. Members of George Clinton's crew, including Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell, played on the track, and Telma Hopkins - of "Shut Your Mouth!" fame - sang backup. It was recorded at United Sound Studios in Detroit, where Davis usually worked.

The Platinum award was instituted in 1976 by the RIAA for albums selling one million units and singles selling two million units (in 1989 they lowered the requirements for singles so Gold was 500,000 units and Platinum was a million). This was the first single to ever be certified platinum and it's claimed that to celebrate his success, Taylor took a bath in Dom Perignon champagne.

Though there had previously been several disco songs that had reached #1, this was the first Hot 100 chart-topper with the word "disco" in its title. "A lot of people thought it was disco," mused Taylor. "But it was not a disco tune. We were just talking about disco."

This song was a huge hit on both the Pop and R&B charts, which it climbed simultaneously. It spent 4 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 and 6 weeks at the top of the R&B chart.

Breaking Skin Lyrics

I need more than just blood and air to survive
There's a hole so deep and cold it will never see the light of day

Until you feel the skin break!
Eyes are always falling on you
But that itch, it keeps calling, calling
Yeah eyes are always falling on you
And that itch, it keeps calling, calling

I need more than just blood and air to survive
(How can I give you any more when there's nothing left)
There's a hole so deep and cold it will never see the light
(How can I give you any more when there's nothing) Of day

Until you feel the skin break!
Eyes are always falling on you
But that itch, it keeps calling, calling
Yeah eyes are always falling on you
And that itch, it keeps calling, calling

We're weaker than we care to admit
We scratch and itch
We're graveyard shifting
Biting and barking
Fueling and sparking
That fire, that itch
And breaking the skin again!

Until you feel the skin break! (those eyes)
Eyes are always falling on you (that itch)
But that itch, it keeps calling, calling (those eyes)
Yeah eyes are always falling on you (that itch)
And that itch, it keeps calling, calling

Breaking Skin

Vocalist Elias Soriano explained the meaning behind this song. "It's about addiction, whether it be food, drugs, sex, lying, or anything, that tends to turn into an itch," he said. "You can't stop scratching it so you break skin. Then, you're bleeding. You need to get help at that point and deal with it."

Drummer Robb Rivera commented this was a different kind of song for Nonpoint. "There's a lot of melody, but it's still so heavy," he said. "That heaviness has always been in the back of our minds. It's a natural direction for us. Most bands soften their sound as they go on. We get more aggressive and heavy. That's what Nonpoint does best."

Silence Is Golden Lyrics

Oh don't it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh don't it pain to see someone cry
How especially if that someone is her

Silence Is Golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see

Talking is cheap people follow like sheep
Even though there is no where to go
How could she tell he deceived her so well
Pity she'll be the last one to know

How many times will she fall for his lines
Should I tell her or should I be cool
And if I tried I know she'd say I lied
Mind your business don't hurt her you fool

Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see

Silence Is Golden

This was originally recorded in 1964 by the Four Seasons as the B-side of their #1 hit "Rag Doll."

The group evolved from Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, and were signed by Decca Records when the label rejected The Beatles. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

Chesney Hawkes is the son of Chip Hawkes, who was a member of The Tremeloes. When Chesney hit #1 UK with "The One And Only," it marked the first time both father and son had got to #1.

The phrase "Silence Is Golden" is an encouragement to silence, which comes from a Swiss inscription written in German and best known in the English translation by Thomas Carlyle: "Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden" (speech is silver, silence is golden).The Tremeloes included this song in their stage act to feature guitarist Rick West's falsetto. Chip Hawkes recalled in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "We were on tour with The Hollies and we were getting standing ovations for Silence Is Golden. We recorded it immediately and by the end of the tour, it was in the charts. Tony Hicks of The Hollies said to me, 'It's a good thing you did that as were going to record it.'"

Endless Sleeper Lyrics

Sand in my shoes
And death on my mind
But it's over
It's over
For now

Crying
Mothers
Your sons have drowned
Memories
What memories have the dead
Sometimes I sleep
With my doors unlocked
Sometimes I take on the ocean
Draw the Ace of Spades
And break all the mirrors
And I'm fucked

Shy away from the real thing
You know there is no God
You shy away from everything
You shy away from me

Nowhere to run
In your dreams you are aimless
Nowhere to hide
In your dreams you are useless
How do you sleep
When in dreams you are careless
How do you wake
When your sleep it is endless

Endless Sleeper

The opening track to Raveonettes' Pe'ahi album, the song is about the band's Sune Rose Wagner's near drowning in 2008. He explained to Q magazine: "The song begins by retelling the horrific story of a near-drowning surfing incident I had in Hawaii six years ago and how sometimes young lives have to take risks in order to exist. "

"This song starts out the same way as The Doors debut album," Wagner added. "The Doors are the ultimate West Coast band and an endless source of inspiration so it's only fitting we started off Pe'Ahi by paying tribute to them."

The album title refers to a place on the north shore of the island of Maui in Hawaii, which is a popular surfing spot. Speaking about the record's surf inspiration to Drowned in Sound , Sune Rose Wagner commented: "Musically there's a lot of surf guitar sounds in there. But used in very different ways to the traditional surf record sound," he said. "There's also a lot of references to surf language and beaches in the lyrics but again used in a very different context. It was a challenge to try and channel some of the inspiration I found - especially the surf history of Southern California - but not in an obvious way."

Seasons in the Sun Lyrics

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had Seasons in the Sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

Seasons in the Sun

Originally "Le Moribond" ("The Dying Man"), this was written and performed in French by the Belgian poet-composer Jacques Brel in 1961. The American poet Rod McKuen translated the lyrics to English, and in 1964 The Kingston Trio released the first English-language version of the song. This is the version Terry Jacks heard, which became the basis for his rendition.

In our interview with Terry Jacks , he said that after his version was released, he had dinner in Brussels with Jacques Brel, who told him about writing the song. "It was about an old man who was dying of a broken heart because his best friend was screwing his wife," Jacks said. "He wrote this in a whorehouse in Tangiers, and the words were quite different. The song originally he used to do on stage and it was in a march form, like, 'Bom ba DUM, bom ba DUM.' Quite a different thing. This old man was dying of a broken heart and he was saying goodbye to his priest and his best friend and his wife, who cheated on him. Her name was Francoise, and it went, 'Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life. You cheated lots of times but then I forgave you in the end, though your lover was my friend.'"

The original version by Jacques Brel is rather macabre, but Jacks had an earnest inspiration for his reworking of the song: his good friend developed leukemia, and was given just six months to live. "He was gone in four months," Jacks told us. "He was a very good friend of mine, one of my best friends, and he said I was the first one that he told. I remembered this song of an old man dying of a broken heart, and I liked some of the melody and there was something there. I rewrote the song about him."

Before releasing this song, Terry Jacks had considerable success in his native Canada as half of the duo The Poppy Family with his wife, Susan. He was friends with The Beach Boys, who asked him to produce a song for them - something Jacks was honored to do. Terry played them his arrangement of "Seasons in the Sun" and suggested they record it, since he thought it would sound great with their harmonies and with Carl Wilson singing lead.

Terry flew to Brian Wilson's house and they began working on the song. Wilson had always been their producer, and could spend months working on a song if he wanted to perfect it. These were Terry's sessions, but Brian tried to take over.

"The thing never got finished," Jacks said in our interview. "Brian wanted to get hold of the tape and add some things, and the engineer would have to take the tape home at night so that Brian wouldn't get hold of it. This went on and on, and I was almost having a nervous breakdown because I would put so much energy into this thing and the stress was really getting me. So I said, 'I'm not going to be able to finish this. I can't get you guys all in here together.' So it never got completed."

The sessions weren't a complete wash for Jacks, however. He worked with Al Jardine on the backing vocals and came up with an arrangement he would use when he recorded the song himself.

In 1973, the song was released as Jacks' second single ("Concrete Sea" was his first), and it was a huge hit, going to #1 in America for three weeks and also topping the UK chart.

Terry released this on his own label, Goldfish Records, and was amazed when it became the largest-selling single in Canadian history: more than 285,000 copies sold in a matter of weeks. Bell Records vice president Dave Carrico heard the record, flew to Vancouver, and snapped up the American rights. Bell released the song in the US, and on February 14, 1974, it earned its first RIAA Gold Award for sales of over a million copies. Eventually, it sold more than three million copies in the United States alone. Worldwide, the figure is over six million.

"Seasons in the Sun" is the story of a dying man, bidding farewell to loved ones who have shared his life. Shortly before Terry's recording came out, Jacques Brel retired, at the peak of his popularity. Fans around the world were stunned, but the composer would give no reason. Finally, the truth was revealed: after a quiet, six-year battle against cancer, Brel succumbed to the disease and died on October 9, 1978.

With the money he made from this song, Jacks purchased a boat, which he christened "Seasons in the Sun." He began sailing up and down the west coast of Alaska and Canada, and had some revelations along the way. "I started to realize that this wasn't made by a blob," he told us. "This was made by God."

Terry became a Christian and began a quest to protect nature. He gave up music and became an environmental activist, fighting the Canadian paper mills who he accused of dumping toxins and destroying forests. He made some films on the subject, including The Faceless Ones and The Warmth of Love: The 4 Seasons of Sophie Thomas, maintaining a modest lifestyle in Canada financed by his musical achievements.

For Terry, becoming an environmentalist was not just a moral imperative, but a way of dealing with the fallout from this song, which came to define his career. "I got to be known as an environmentalist, which was the only thing that ever got rid of my label," he said. "I was 'Seasons in the Sun' before that."

Rod McKuen, who translated the lyrics, is the credited writer on the song along with Jacques Brel. Terry Jacks made some significant musical changes and wrote an entirely different last verse, but didn't get a songwriter credit, since he never claimed one. Jacks says he didn't think of it at the time, and never anticipated the song becoming a royalty-generating hit.

Jacks' previous group, The Poppy Family, had a #2 Hot 100 hit with "Which Way You Goin' Billy?" in 1970, and also made #29 with "That's Where I Went Wrong" (both songs were written by Jacks). After "Seasons in the Sun" hit, he recorded anther Jacques Brel song with an English translation by Rod McKuen: "If You Go Away." This one has the the French title "Ne me quite pas," which literally translates as "Don't Leave Me." It hit #68 in the US.

A young David Foster played a bit of piano and did some engineering on this song. Foster, a fellow Canadian, has contributed to numerous hits as a songwriter, producer and musician. A sampling of his credits:

- Producing the All-4-One "I Swear."

- Writing and recording the original version of "Mornin'."

- Co-writing the Chicago hit "You're the Inspiration."

Foster's specific contributions to "Seasons in the Sun" are the piano arpeggio after the "flowers everywhere" line, and doubling the bass after the "Goodbye papa, please pray for me" line.

The B-side of the single was a song titled "Put the Bone In," which described a woman in a butcher shop, apparently begging the butcher to "put the bone in" for her because "her doggy had been hit by a car." Near the end, the lyrics say: "Put the bone in, she yelled out once more." (thanks, Rick - Cottonwood, AZ)

In the UK, Westlife had the 1999 Christmas #1 with their Double-A-side of "I Have A Dream" and their cover of this song. "I Have A Dream" was originally a #2 hit for Abba in 1979. When this topped the UK chart, Westlife became the first act since Elvis Presley in 1962 to have 4 #1s in the same year.

Nirvana did a version of this song, but it didn't appear until 2004 on the With The Lights Out out boxed set. (thanks, Chris - Dracut, MA)

Terry's talents are in songwriting, production and arrangements - he doesn't consider himself a very good singer, and was never known for his vocal talents. He started singing his own material as a means of expression: when he wrote songs for The Poppy Family, he had to change the gender because they were sung by his wife, Susan.

Despite his perceived deficiencies when it comes to singing, Terry won the Juno award (the Canadian Grammys) for Male Vocalist of the Year in 1974. This song also won for Contemporary Single of the Year and Pop Music Single of the Year, and Best Selling Single.

I Want You

Callum Burrows is an English singer-songwriter who performs under the name of Saint Raymond. He hails from Nottingham, the same home town as Jake Bugg, and has been compared a lot to the "Lightning Bolt" singer.

Burrows explained the inspiration behind this song to MTV UK: "Like a lot of my songs, this one was written as an upbeat festival tune," he said. "I like doing that when writing, not only thinking about the actual meaning of the song, but also thinking about the reaction of a crowd to it. I think that's really important."

The music video, directed by Niall O'Brien, was shot in California, about 50 miles from Death Valley, where the promo's frustrated characters throw themselves off enormous sand dunes. O'Brien also directed videos for Breton's "15 Minutes" in 2014 and King Midas Sound's "Lost" in 2010.

Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
There's peace in the valley, People Got to Be Free

You should see
What a lovely, lovely world this'd be
Everyone learned to live together, ah hah
Seems to me
Such an itty bitty thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?

All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free)
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free

If there's a man
Who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes is you to understand and
To pull him through, ah hah
Seems to me
We got to solve it individually, ah ah
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Said, no

Hear the shoutin' from the mountains on out to the sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free (they gotta be free)
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Natural situation for a man to be free

Get right on board now, huh, huh

Yeah oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody sing it now come on let's go see
Peace in the valley now, we all can be free

See that train over there?
Now that's the train of freedom
It's about to 'rrive any minute, now
You know it's been'a long, long overdue
Look out 'cause it's a'comin' right on through
Ha, ha, yeah, ha, ha, yeah

People Got to Be Free

This was written in reaction to the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. The song obtained a double meaning when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated before the single was released.

Jerry Wexler at Atlantic Records briefly blocked the single's release as he thought the Rascals' career would be hurt by a political record. He was partly right: although "People Got to Be Free" was the group's biggest hit (#1 for five weeks), it was also their last Top Ten single.

This was the third #1 hit for the group (after "Good Lovin'" and "Groovin'"), but the first under their original name. In 1966-67 all their singles were credited to the "Young Rascals," a name imposed upon them by Atlantic Records to avoid confusion with the Harmonica Rascals.

Their followup single, the #24 "A Ray of Hope," was written for the Kennedy family after RFK's death and prompted a thank-you letter from the fallen senator's little brother, Ted. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

This is not a song about suicide, as has been hypothesized. It is a song of hope and courage for individuals who have experienced adversity in their lives but have overcome it. (thanks, Robert - Trumbull, CT)

Johnny Nash is a Texas singer/songwriter who recorded reggae-influenced music. In 1967 he went to Jamaica and recorded his song "Hold Me Tight" and a cover of Sam Cooke's "Cupid" with a local rhythm section. Both songs became hits in Jamaica, and over the next two years also charted in England and the United States. By 1972, "Cecilia" and "Mother And Child Reunion" found some success in the States incorporating reggae rhythms, and Nash followed that trend with "I Can See Clearly Now."

Nash had legitimate reggae credentials: Bob Marley (before he became crazy famous) was an assistant producer and session player on the album, and also wrote three of the songs, including "Stir It Up," which became Nash's next - and final - hit.

A cover version by Jimmy Cliff (for a time, a bigger reggae star than Bob Marley) went to #18 in the US in 1994. His version was used in the John Candy movie Cool Runnings, about the Jamaican bobsled team.

Nash wrote this song himself. He recorded it in London with members of The Average White Band, who in 1974 had a hit of their own with "Pick Up The Pieces."

This was #1 in the US for four weeks late in 1972.

This was featured in the opening sequence of the 1997 John Cusack film Grosse Pointe Blank. It was also used in the movie Themla And Louise. (thanks, Kristy - La Porte City, IA)

According to the official biography of Barclay James Harvest, "I Can See Clearly Now" sold seven million copies, and arranger Martyn Ford received the princely sum of £35 for his services. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

On November 12, 1977, Ray Charles performed this song when he was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

This song was a result of a random night in the studio after Ca$h Out and producer Dunn Deal had just completed his Ya Feel Me? mixtape. "Everyone in the studio was like, 'Hey, let's give these folks a 'girl,' 'club,' record…'" the rapper recalled to The Boombox . "So they're cooking up the beat and I'm playing in the booth, but the microphone was on, I'm like, 'She be grabbin' on my toolie…' But they were like, 'Ay! Keep that.'"

"I went all the way through," Ca$h Out continued. "The next couple bars were, 'And she twerkin',' the girls in the studio got to dancing and it was on from that. As we finished it, Dunn was like, 'This is another one that we've created.' Then we pressed play a couple months later, that's when the labels got to calling."

Time after time I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool but why can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue
Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed, you're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue

Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules
You conquered the world and more heaven's door

So lift up your heart, make a new start
And lead us away from here

Video Girl Lyrics

Was she the girl that’s from the video?
You lie, you lie, you lie

Nineteen, too keen
Looking at the game, though
Trying to make a stand for the main squeeze
Please, you don’t stand a chance
Stop acting like you can

The camera on you ain’t enough?
You’re looking for the all round good love
So nothing’s gonna get in your way
You’re gonna get yourself broke one day

Was she the girl that’s from the video?
Stop, stop lying to me
Was she the girl that’s from the video?
You lie, you lie, you lie

Nineteen, I see
A body that can move, the hardest in the room
With a quick switch, kiss
Got all eyes on you now
What you gonna do?

The camera loves you, ain’t that enough?
You’re craving for the whole universe
So nothing’s gonna get in your way
You’re gonna get yourself broke one day

Was she the girl that’s from the video?
Stop, stop lying to me
Was she the girl that’s from the video?
You lie, you lie, you lie

Got something to say?
I don’t want to hear about it
So you feeling the fame
I hate, the things you’re going through now
What you gonna do?

Was she the girl that’s from the video?
Stop, stop lying to me
Was she the girl that’s from the video?
You lie, you lie, you lie

You lie, you lie, you lie
I can’t recognize me

Video Girl

This song finds Tahliah Barnett, aka FKA Twigs, reflecting on her past as a background dancer in big-budget music videos for artists like Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran and Taio Cruz. She was also in a couple of Jessie J's clips ("Do It Like A Dude" and "Price Tag"), the latter in which she can be seen dressed like a marionette. Barnett told Pitchfork , "I wrote that very shortly after I stopped being a video girl."

"When I got signed," she continued, "I stopped dancing - I'd given up that part of my life. I would go out, and somebody would be like, 'Oh, I recognize you!' I'd hope it was because they'd heard my music, but they'd say, 'Are you that girl from the Jessie J video?' I'd always say 'no,' and they'd be like, 'You're lying!' I'd say, 'No! It's not me.' They'd say, 'You look just like her.' And I'd be like, 'I know. So many people say that! It's weird!"

The black-and-white video was directed by LA based Filmmaker Kahlil Joseph, who previously helmed the clip for Aloe Blacc's "I Need A Dollar." The visual takes place on Death Row as we see Twigs dancing around a prison inmate who is laid out on a gurney. The promo also features a bloody cameo from rapper Travis Scott.
