It's Your World Lyrics

Anything that you want from me
Boy you can get it any time, any place
I'll be your servant, your slave
Your everything you ever wanted baby
Just make one wish and I'll become your genie
Your go-get-it, your "bring it back and give it to you" babe
I walk over that rainbow and deliver to you that pot of gold
Got the whole earth in the box, wrapped in a bow for you

It's Your World, yeah
It's your world baby
It's your world baby
And everything in it
It's your world, ooh

Boy if you ask, it shall be given

All of your worries, your casual doubts
Give 'em to me and I'll erase them for you
I'll be your heaven, your blessing, no stressing
Boy I'll make all your dreams come true
No matter what it is, yeah say what it is
And I will do it for you
I'll walk a mile, I'll swim the Nile, I'll vow
Sink my finger in the ground
And turn this earth around for you

It's your world

Baby, Come To Me Lyrics

Baby, Come To Me

This was initially released in 1981 on Patti Austin's album Every Home Should Have One. In May of 1982, it peaked at #73 on the US charts. Months later, the song found new life when it was used in the ABC soap opera General Hospital for romantic scenes involving Luke Spencer (played by Anthony Geary) after his wife Laura temporarily left the show. ABC got lots of calls and letters about the song, and Warner Brothers Records decided to re-release the song as a single due to popular demand. It hit #1 in the US in February 1983.

Later that year, "Think Of Laura" by Christopher Cross was used in scenes where Luke was missing Laura. Thanks to its use on the show, the song went to #9 US in 1984.

Quincy Jones produced this. Both Austin and Ingram had worked with Jones in the past and signed to his record label, Quest.

Rod Temperton wrote this. This is one of many songs he wrote that Quincy Jones produced. Others include Michael Jackson's "Rock With You," "Off The Wall" and "Thriller," as well as songs by The Brothers Johnson and Rufus with Chaka Khan.

Ingram has done a lot of duets, including "Just Once" with Quincy Jones, "Yah Mo B There" with Michael McDonald, and "Somewhere Out There" with Linda Ronstadt.

After 2 weeks at #1 in the US, this was replaced by Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." That song was also produced by Jones.

Patti Austin is the goddaughter of Quincy Jones. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 5)

Platoon Lyrics

Ooh brother
Ooh it's funny
How good you are

I'll knock you down
Brother, please
Go tell who you
Want to

Under the rocks
Down by the beach
No, I'm not, not where you
Want me

Ooh brother
It's how good you are

Ooh brother
It's how good you are

I'll knock you down
Brother, please
Go tell who you
Want to

I see the snake
Down by my feet
Walk on just you
Watch me

Go tell who you
Want to

Behind my back
And the love beneath
Whispered into nothing

Platoon

Jungle is a group comprising "J" and "T," who grew up as neighbors in West London. The duo expand to a seven-piece live.

Jungle's debut eponymous album was recorded between the duo's own home studio in Shepherds Bush, London and the XL Recordings studio in nearby Ladbroke Grove. "Every song on the record is a place and time," the pair told NME. "For 'Platoon' it's this dark Vietnam jungle covered in mist. The guitars feel like machine guns."

The song's music video stars B-Girl Terra, a six-year-old break-dancer.

Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) Lyrics

Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown

So, raise the candles high 'cause if you don't
We could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again, and if you do
We could stay dry against the rain

Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So, raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't, we could stay

Black against the sky
Oh, oh, raise them higher again, and if you do
We could stay dry against the rain

Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up
At the ones who stand and frown

Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)

Melanie (last name: Safka) performed in the rain at Woodstock after she became a household name with "Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma." When the rain stopped, members of the crowd lit candles to let other people know that everything was "bright" (OK). Melanie was so moved by the sight that she wrote this song to commemorate it, then asked the Edwin Hawkins Singers (#2 "Oh Happy Day") to back her up. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

Still Madly Crazy

This piano-driven ballad is a track from Paula, an album that Thicke wrote and recorded in April 2014 following the breakdown of his marriage to his high school sweetheart Paula Patton. He sings here about still longing for her.

"The album is what happens when you lose the love of your life and you try to figure out in your head like, 'How am I gonna move on?' Thicke explained to radio station Hot 97. "Because we weren't together anymore, I had so much that I still wanted to apologize for and take responsibility for and that's what the album is about."

The song's music video a group of 8-year-old kids re-enacting a wedding. "They're singing the song and they have cake and they're all dressed to a T," Thicke said.

Everything Is Beautiful Lyrics

Everything Is Beautiful

A very popular and family-friendly entertainer throughout the '60s, Ray Stevens was given his own TV variety show in 1970 called The Ray Stevens Show, which lasted just one season as a summer replacement. He wrote the uplifting "Everything Is Beautiful" as the theme for the show. Stevens explained to mybestyears.com , "I needed a very special song for the program. I went down in my basement for about three days. I had crumpled paper all over the place. And suddenly the idea for the song came to me. I wrote it in maybe 45 minutes. It was a very special song and one that a lot of people still remember and sing along when I do it in shows."

This is a rare hit for Stevens that was not a novelty recording. He was better known for comedy songs like "The Streak," "Ahab, The Arab," and "Harry The Hairy Ape."

This won Stevens his first Grammy. It won for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male. (thanks, Patrick - Tallapoosa, GA)

Stevens was backed on this track by his two daughters and a second-grade class from Oak Hill Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee. The song opens with the children's chorus singing the first two lines of a popular bible school hymn, "Jesus Loves The Little Children."

Too Little Too Late Lyrics

Too Little Too Late

Robin Thicke was heartbroken after he and Paula Patton legally separated on February 24, 2014 after nearly nine years of marriage. In the months following the split, Thicke made several attempts to repair the marriage, including recording an album, Patton, full of songs about how he feels about her. This track finds him admitting to his errors and promising to love her every chance he gets.

So what was the cause of Thicke and Patton's break up after 20 years of being together? "[Cheating] is not why we're apart," he stated during an interview on Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning. "We're apart because we just couldn't be together anymore for a while. There's a hundred different reasons, there isn't just one. There's a long list. I changed, and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy, and little too full of myself."

I'll Be There

This was the first Jackson 5 hit not written by "The Corporation," a collection of Motown writers lead by the chief of the label, Berry Gordy. The Corporation were based in California, unlike most Motown writers, who were in the Detroit offices. This song was written by Hal Davis (who also produced it), Bob West, Willie Hutch, and Berry Gordy.

In this song, a man tells his former lover that he will always be there for her, and that even if she finds someone new, she can always go back to him.

The lead vocals were shared by Michael and Jermaine Jackson. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

In 1975 Gloria Gaynor recorded a Disco cover of this entitled 'Reach Out, I'll Be There," which peaked at #14 in the UK and #60 in the US. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

Mariah Carey remade this in 1992. It was originally a last-minute addition to her MTV Unplugged setlist, after she had been informed that most acts on the show commonly perform at least one cover.

Carey's version was performed as a romantic duet, with her singing Michael Jackson's lines and an uncredited Trey Lorenz, who had provided background vocals on her Emotions album, performing Jermaine Jackson's part.

Carey's label received numerous requests to release "I'll Be There" as a single after the MTV Unplugged special was aired. They did so and it went on to top the Hot 100 and several other charts including the ones in Canada, The Netherlands and New Zealand. The song also peaked at #2 in the UK.

At one point Michael hollers, "Just look over your shoulders, honey." He had been instructed by Berry Gordy to sing "just look over your shoulder" (as an allusion to what Levi Stubbs had said in The Four Tops' "Reach Out I'll Be There"), but the fluffed line was allowed to remain in the final mix.

Forever Love

Robin Thicke and his wife Paula Patton announced their separation on February 24, 2014 after 21 years together and almost nine years of marriage. Thicke debuted this song four months later at the 2014 BET Awards. Before the singer even played a note on his piano, he gave this introduction: "I'd like to dedicate this song to my wife, and say, 'I miss you, and I'm sorry.' This is called 'Forever Love.'"

The song was included on Thicke's Paula album, which was dedicated to his wife. During a #AskThicke Twitter session the singer was asked why he decided to make the album about his famous ex? He replied: "Because 'Beatrice' didn't have the same ring to it."

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know

This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Hey man, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she then she

Oh don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket

You know my Suffragette City

Hey man, oh Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take you this time, no way
Hey man, droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes

Oh don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket

Suffragette City

A "Suffragette" is a woman involved in the women's suffrage movement (trying to get the right to vote). A London newspaper was the first to use the term, and did so in a derogatory manner. In England, women got voting rights in 1918. In the US, it was 1920.

Bowie offered this to the band Mott The Hoople, but they turned it down. Bowie was a big fan of Mott The Hoople, but they weren't selling well and were about to break up. To keep them going, Bowie offered to produce their next album, and although they rejected this, they did record Bowie's "All The Young Dudes," which became a big hit and got them out of a financial mess.

The heavy saxophone backing sound is not a saxophone. It was created by an ARP synthesizer. Bowie wanted a larger-than-life sax sound, so they used the synth to create the sounds that a real sax couldn't.

The famous "Wham Bam Thank-you Ma'am" lyric was the title of one of the tracks on Charles Mingus' 1961 Oh Yeah album (according to Mingus it was also a phrase that his drummer, Max Roach, used when he was "unable to express his inner feelings") and most likely one which Bowie was aware of, being a jazz lover himself. (thanks, Klasic Rok - Battle Ground, WA, for all above)

The word "droogie" (from the line "Aw, droogie, don't crash here") is from the book (later made into a movie) A Clockwork Orange. It means "friend." Like most of the words in the book's teen-slang language, Nadsat, it's based on Russian. (thanks, Beth - San Francisco, CA)

This is one of Bowie's all time personal favorites.

When Bowie played this live in 1972, he started doing a bit at the end of the song where he went underneath his guitarist, Mick Ronson, and played the guitar with his mouth. This made it look like Bowie was simulating oral sex, and it caused a stir when Bowie talked his Manager into buying a whole page of advertising space in the British magazine Melody Maker to get the infamous "oral sex" picture published immediately after it was shot at a show in Oxford Town Hall in June 72. That's the way photographer Mick Rock tells the tale in his book Blood And Glitter. (thanks, Peter - Berlin, Germany)

The year after this was released, Paul McCartney put the word "Suffragette" into his song "Jet."

And I will continue to move forward

You can't fucking stop me

And as the wall keeps moving forward, distorting everything

Look to the sky and scream with me
Fuck this place, we are free

You Can't Stop Me

This is the title track of Suicide Silence's fourth album. You Can't Stop Me is the band's first record to feature vocalist Hernan "Eddie" Hermida, following the tragic loss of their original singer Mitch Lucker. "The long and short of it is this," said guitarist Mark Heylmun. "Mitch left behind a set of lyrics with the title 'You Can't Stop Me'. This gave us chills, to say the least, and we knew we had the title and title track. This filled us with inspiration for writing sessions to empower you, the supporters of Suicide Silence."

Mitch Lucker died November 1, 2012 after sustaining injuries in a motorcycle crash in Huntington Beach on Halloween night.

The song's music video was directed by Nathan "Karma" Cox, who has previously worked with Linkin Park, Black Veil Brides and Marilyn Manson. The clip concludes with a tribute message giving a shout out to Mitch Lucker.

I Just Called To Say I Love You Lyrics

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I Just Called To Say I Love You
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,

I Just Called To Say I Love You

This was featured in the movie The Woman In Red, starring Kelly LeBrock as the woman and Gene Wilder as the married man who is mesmerized by her. Stevie wrote the score for the movie. He got the gig after Dionne Warwick, who was working on the soundtrack, suggested him to the producers of the film. Wonder ended up contributing songs as well, and the soundtrack contains songs from both Stevie and Dionne. The movie's producers rejected some demos written by Jay Graydon and David Foster, and one of those songs became "Who's Holding Donna Now," which was a hit for El DeBarge.

This is Motown's biggest-selling single ever in the UK, where it was Wonder's first #1. It was his eighth #1 in the US. (thanks, Emery - London, England)

This won the Oscar for Best Original Song, beating out "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)," "Footloose," "Let's Hear It For The Boy" and "Ghostbusters."

Wonder claimed that he wrote the music for this song in 1978, and then "modernized" it when he added lyrics for the soundtrack. Wonder is an extremely prolific composer and was constantly coming up with songs that he would sometimes revisit much later.

In the 2000 movie High Fidelity, this is the subject of a rant by a character played by Jack Black. In the film, a man walks into the record store and asks for this song so he can give it to his daughter. Black's character, who is working there, scolds him for wanting such and awful song and goes on to explain that his daughter probably hates it and it was clearly the low point of Wonder's career.

Wonder had moved to a much more adult contemporary sound when he released this song. His early hits like "Superstition" and "Higher Ground" were often filled with funk, but in the '80s, songs like this one and "Part-Time Lover" had a smoother sound, resulting in big hits, but disappointment for those hoping for a classic Wonder groove.

Stevie sang some of this when he made an appearance on The Cosby Show in 1986. The episode was called "A Touch of Wonder," and was later cited by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson as an inspiration to many young musicians who became interested in samplers and making music after seeing Wonder on the show.
