Hypnotize Lyrics

Uh, uh, uh, c'mon

Hah, sicka than your average
Poppa twist cabbage off instinct
niggas don't think shit stink, pink gators,

Timbs for my hooligans in Brooklyn
Dead right, if the head right, Biggie there ery'night
Poppa been smooth since days of Underroos
Never lose, never choose to, bruise crews who
Do something to us, talk go through us
Girls walk to us, wanna do us, screw us
Who us? Yeah, Poppa and Puff (hehehe)
Close like Starsky and Hutch, stick the clutch
Dare I squeeze three at your cherry M-3 (Take that, take that, take that, haha!)
Bang every MC easily, busily
Recently niggas frontin ain't sayin' nuttin' (nope) so I just
Speak my piece, (c'mon) keep my piece
Cubans with the Jesus piece (thank you God), with my peeps
Packin', askin' who want it, you got it nigga flaunt it
That Brooklyn bullshit, we on it

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see
Sometimes your words just Hypnotize me
And I just love your flashy ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

All Philly hoes, dough and Moschino (c'mon)
Every cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi (hah!)
Now who's the real dookie, meanin' who's really the shit
Them niggas ride dicks, Frank White push the sticks
On the Lexus, LX, four and a half
Bulletproof glass tints if I want some ass
Gon' blast squeeze first ask questions last
That's how most of these so-called gangsters pass
At last, a nigga rappin' bout blunts and broads
Tits and bras, menage-a-tois, sex in expensive cars
I still leave you on the pavement
Condo paid for, no car payment
At my arraignment, note for the plantiff
Your daughter's tied up in a Brooklyn basement (shhh)
Face it, not guilty, that's how I stay filthy (not guilty)
Richer than Richie, till you niggas come and get me

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your flashy ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Your crew run run run, your crew run run
I know you sick of this, name brand nigga wit'
Flows girls say he's sweet like licorice
So get with this nigga, it's easy
Girlfriend here's a pen, call me round ten
Come through, have sex on rugs that's Persian (that's right)
Come up to your job, hit you while you workin' (uh) for certain,

Leave that ass leakin, like rapper demo
Tell them hoe, take they clothes off slowly
Hit 'em wit' the force like Obe, dick black like Toby (Obe, Toby)
Watch me roam like Gobe, lucky they don't owe me
Where the safe show me, homey (say what, homey)

Hypnotize

P. Diddy (known as Puff Daddy at the time) produced this and sampled the music from Herb Alpert's 1979 hit "Rise," which was written by Andy Armer and Herb's nephew, Randy Badazz Alpert, who told us: "I asked Puffy, in 1996 when he first called me concerning using 'Rise' for 'Hypnotize,' why he chose the 'Rise' groove. He told me that in the summer of 1979 when he was I think 10 years old the song was a huge hit everywhere in New York and 'Rise' along with Chic's 'Good Times' were 'The Songs' that all the kids were dancing and roller skating to that summer. He had always remembered that summer and that song. When he first played the loop for Biggie, Biggie smiled and hugged him."

Randy Badazz Alpert: "Over the years I was approached by Ice Cube, Easy E, Vanilla Ice, and maybe another 4-5 artists to use the song and I never said yes until I heard a rough version of Biggie's recording. I was sent a cassette from Puffy and when I cranked it up I not only immediately loved it but my gut thought that this could be a #1 record once again. The original 'Rise' record climbed the chart all summer and became #1 around the end of October. Biggie's version was released and charted its first week at #2 and went to #1 the second week."

Biggie Smalls wrote the entire rap, including the female vocals. Alpert told us: "When I first met Biggie before they recorded 'Hypnotize' he played me a demo version with him doing the girl's part. I still have that cassette demo and it's definitely a classic piece of rap history."

Pam Long from the group Total sang the hook.

Part of Slick Rick's song "La Di Da Di" was sampled for the chorus.

This was released shortly before Biggie Smalls was shot to death on March 9, 1997. It hit #1 seven weeks after his death.

Water Me

FKA Twigs' first single was something that she and New York producer Alejandro Arca came up with at the end of a session. She recalled to Redbull Music Academy : "It wasn't a particularly successful session up until that point. We were making these beats and I was whisper-rapping over some stuff, and it all felt a bit empty. We had half-an-hour left at the end, and we started playing together. I was on the Tempest, doing some drums. And Alejandro started adding some synths. The Tempest has this great function where you can record something straight into it and start manipulating it. Very quickly the words came to me, out of nowhere. I'm not going to lie and say I laboured over it for ages. I think I wrote it in about seven minutes."

"It's really emotional," Twigs added with a laugh. "We were really emotional in the studio on that day, I remember. Two emo little souls, together. That's very unlike us. Usually in the studio it's... it's ridiculous. We'll work for an hour and then put on some Janet Jackson and dance around the room. Then we'll put on some merengue tune and tango through the studio. We work very quickly. Technically, he's so fast, which really suits me. I don't like to labour over things. In my experience, the first idea is usually the best one. And once I start to think about it, it implodes on itself."

Keep It Close To Me Lyrics

I want rock'n'roll
But, I don't want to deal with the hassle.
I know what I know but,
I don't want to feel like an asshole
It's direct, suspect,
Insects have launched an invasion.
Chosen, frozen,
Poison in my vaccination, yeah.
I'm gonna figure out what's mine
And Keep It Close To Me.

[Chorus]
Keep it close to me.
Keep it close to me.
Keep it close to me.
It's supposed to be, yeah.
It's supposed to be, yeah.

I've got rock'n'roll
And it used to deliver me sweetly.
I'm not gullible but,
I feel like I've lost it completely.
It's direct, suspect,
Insects have launched an invasion.
Chosen, frozen,
Poison in my vaccination,
Yeah. I'm gonna figure out what's mine
And keep it close to me.

[Chorus]

Let's make the most of it right now.
Let's make the most of what we've got,
God only knows where it came from.
Let's make the most of it right now.
Why is it hard to imagine
Making life worth the distraction from now on?

I'm gonna figure out what's mine
And keep it close to me.

Keep It Close To Me

John Davis wrote this song as an anthem of backlash on what modern Pop music has become. The line, "Insects have launched an invasion" refers to the invasion of manufactured Pop divas such as Britney Spears.

The album was produced and engineered by Nick Raskulinecz, who is a good friend to the band. He went on to produce The Foo Fighters and Velvet Revolver.

The band recorded this album under stress of their former label Elektra breathing down their necks to write a 'summer-hit' much like their 1996 song "Sucked Out." Singer/songwriter John Davis was fed up with the lack of creative control and demanded to be severed from the label. Throughout the album you can hear the angst and disgust of what he feels the modern music world has become.

The Call Lyrics

The Call

This song draws on a rough patch Brooks went though with Trisha Yearwood before he married her in 2005. "It's about that point in a relationship when you make the decision whether what you have is worth fighting for, or is it just easier to call it 'friends' and live life from there," he told Country Aircheck.

The recording is a stark live acoustic performance from Brooks' show at the Wynn Las Vegas, which features Yearwood. "We tried cutting this song with a full band, but kept going back to the Wynn performance, where it's just like two people talking to each other," he noted. "The echo-type piece in this is something I haven't seen since 'Mockingbird' with James Taylor and Carly Simon. I love how unique this song sounds, and when you bring it down to just two voices and a guitar, the conversation happens."

Everything is meaningless
Let's atom-bomb the stage
Destination violation
Far-out disrespect

What did you expect
What did you expect
Mr Candidate-Elect
Was it everything you planned
By a palm tree in the sand
The information from the station
Lulled you off to sleep
Everything is heavy
And the figures are too steep
Destination
Laceration

You'll survive the wreck
Institutionalization
What did you expect
What did you expect
I'm afraid you're incorrect
And you're breaking up the band
By a palm tree in the sand
Coming down in recovery
We fail to understand
Wait around for discovery
With Merchandising plans
So take the dive
We are Shuck And Jive

Shuck And Jive

The song embodies the line, "By a palm tree in the sand," which is a wink to "California Girls" from The Beach Boys, one of lead singer John Davis's favorite bands.

This was featured in the 1999 film She's All That in a scene where Freddie Prinze Jr is playing soccer. However, there was no soundtrack to that film sold.

Party Weekend

Joe "King" Carrasco wrote this song with the Crowns' bass player, Brad Kizer. The song is about looking forward to a fun-filled weekend, which is exactly what they were doing when they got the idea. In our interview with Carrasco , he explained that they were hanging out on Guadalupe Street in Austin, Texas when the inspiration struck. "It was a Friday night and I said, 'Brad, it looks like a party weekend,'" Carrasco said. "I went, 'Wow, that's a good song title.'"

Featuring Vox and Farfisa organs played by Kris Cummings, this song is a musical throwback to the organ-heavy dance songs of the '60s. The song Carrasco was trying to duplicate was "A Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)" by The Swingin' Medallions. "Let's Dance" by Chris Montez was also an influence.

When MTV went on the air in 1981, they were desperate for fun videos by American artists, and the "Party Weekend" clip fit their criteria. The video was shot on South Padre Island in Texas when the band was there for a spring break performance. It was shot on the cheap by the sister of the band's manager, who captured the band and various spring breakers having a good time - exactly what the song is about.

The best we can tell, the clip marks the first appearance of crowd surfing in a music video, as we see Carrasco do a daring leap into the audience and go for a ride.

MTV would sometimes have artists customize songs for them, and they had Carrasco record this as "Party Christmas" for a 1982 Christmas video featuring the MTV staff.

Run Through The Light Lyrics

I asked my love to give me shelter
And all she offered me were dreams
Of all the moments spent together
That move like never ending streams.

Run to the light
Everything is alright
Run thro' the light of day
You run to the light of night

And every movement made together
Till every thought was just the same
And all the pieces fit forever
In the game.

Welcome to the light
Now everything is okay
Run thro' the light of night
You run to the light of day.

Run Through The Light

This is based on the demo "Dancing Through The Light" that was recorded with Jon Anderson during the aborted Paris recording sessions of 1978 following the Tormato album.

This is the only Yes song with bass guitar on it that was not played by Chris Squire . Trevor Horn played the bass and Squire played piano.

The single edit of this song almost completely removed Steve Howe's guitar work except for the underlying acoustic part.

Song For Zula Lyrics

Some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love,
You see it came to me
It puts its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing

See the cage, it called. I said, come on in
I will not open myself up this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledged by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see the cage it called. I said, come on in
I will not open myself this way again.

You see the moon is bright in that treetop night
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold clean light
I might fear I go and my heart is white
And we race right out on the desert plains all night
So honey I am now, some broken thing
I do not lay in the dark waiting for day here
Now my heart is gold, my feet are right
And I'm racing out on the desert plains all night

So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
All that I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
And all you folks, you come to see
You just to stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild, and my bones are steel
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free

Song For Zula

This haunting, rueful tune was released as the lead single from singer-songwriter Matthew Houck's Muchacho album, the follow-up to 2010's Here's to Taking it Easy and the sixth under his Phosphorescent moniker. The LP was written in Mexico. "It sounds really cheesy, but I went down there with a guitar and got a little hut on the beach in Tulum, on the Yucatan Peninsula," said Houck.

This song portrays the post-traumatic stress of a soured relationship and Houck's attempts to will himself out of his funk. It was inspired by the singer breaking up with his girlfriend whilst touring Here's to Taking it Easy. "Relationships are tough when you're on the road, too-- my girlfriend would come on some of the tours, but it wasn't easy," Houck told Pitchfork . "Drugs and booze were involved. So I lost the place, lost the girl, and lost my mind."

Baker Street Lyrics

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
Its got so many people but its got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rollin
He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Baker Street

This is the most sentimental of all Gerry Rafferty's songs. It is about a man who dreams of owning a house and living away from his neighborhood, but he is a drunk, and cannot achieve that goal. He drinks to forget what he doesn't have, and never realizes he's a rolling stone with no direction.

Rafferty was a member of Stealers Wheel, who had a hit in 1973 with "Stuck In The Middle With You." His first band was a folk duo called "The Humblebums." His singing partner was the famous Scot comedian Billy Connelly.

Baker Street is a real street in London; Rafferty often stayed with a friend who lived there.

The song was the Scottish singer's first release after the resolution of legal problems surrounding the acrimonious breakup of his band Stealers Wheel in 1975. In the intervening three years, Rafferty had been unable to release any material due to disputes about the band's remaining contractual recording obligations, and his friend's Baker Street flat was a convenient place to stay as he tried to extricate himself from his Stealers Wheel contracts. Rafferty explained to Martin Chilton at the Daily Telegraph: "Everybody was suing each other, so I spent a lot of time on the overnight train from Glasgow to London for meetings with lawyers. I knew a guy who lived in a little flat off Baker Street. We'd sit and chat or play guitar there through the night."

In the last verse, Rafferty expresses his exhilaration as his legal and financial frustrations are finally resolved:

When you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
You're going, you're going home

Raphael Ravenscroft played the sax solo. Rafferty wrote the song with an instrumental break, but didn't have a specific instrument in mind. Hugh Murphy, who produced the track, suggested a saxophone, so they brought in Ravenscroft to play it. Ravenscroft has played on records by Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Abba, Alvin Lee and many others.

See a photo and learn more about Baker Street .

This was performed at the end of The Simpsons episode "Lisa's Sax," when she receives a new saxophone after her old one was destroyed. While the sax solo plays, clips of her playing the old sax are shown.

One of the most famous residents of Baker street is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. He lived at 221-B Baker Street.

In 1992 the UK group Undercover reached #2 in the British charts with their cover of this song. Their name was apt as their only other UK Top 20 hit was another cover, this time of Andrew Gold's "Never Let Her Slip Away." Both original versions were in the UK Top 20 in April 1978. Undercover's keyboardist Steve McCutcheon, also known as Steve Mac, later teamed up with Wayne Hector to form a successful songwriting partnership including some of Westlife's UK #1s.

This song was covered by the rock band Foo Fighters, who reworked it with the famous sax line replaced with a guitar. They performed the song on occasion and issued their version as the B-side to some releases of "My Hero." In 2007, the song was included on the 10th anniversary reissue of their album The Colour and the Shape.

Ravenscroft was reportedly paid only £27 for his sax contribution. The check that he was given bounced, so the musician framed the useless payment and hung it on his solicitor's wall.

Speaking in a 2011 radio interview, Ravenscroft said the song riled him. "I'm irritated because it's out of tune," he said. "Yeah, it's flat. By enough of a degree that it irritates me at best."

The period of 1977-1982 produced from very memorable soft rock songs that made their way onto playlists decades later. This genre came to be known, sometimes dismissively, as "Yacht Rock," with this song often cited as an exemplar.

More so than most, "Baker Street" resonates with listeners, drawing out strong emotions. Nicholas Niespodziani of the Yacht Rock Revue told us about performing the song: "'Baker Street' is really all about the sax riff, which actually, is not an exceedingly difficult sax riff to play, but one that brings out emotions in people that they didn't think they had. You play that in front of a crowd of dudes that hadn't heard it performed live before, and they get just wild. They get the crazy eye."

Murder on the Dancefloor

This song about underhanded dance competition tactics was penned by Ellis-Bextor with the American singer-songwriter Gregg Alexander (under the pseudonym Alex Ander). Alexander, who was the mastermind behind the New Radicals ("You Get What You Give") won a Grammy for co-writing "The Game of Love" for Santana in 2003.

The song became Ellis-Bextor's greatest hit internationally. It was the most-played song of 2002 in all of Europe and also went platinum in Australia, where it peaked at #3, staying in the Top Fifty for twenty weeks.

The music video takes place at a dance contest, which contestant Ellis-Bextor is desperate to win. Canadian-born actor Colin Stinton, who played Neal Daniels in The Bourne Ultimatum, features as the main judge. Sophie Muller, who helmed the singer's previous video for "Take Me Home," directed the clip.

This was used in the Eastenders episode where the Queen Vic burned down. Just before the fire started Ellis-Bextor could be heard singing "Gonna burn this goddamn house right down." She commented on her website: "I used to watch lots of Eastenders and I remember when I heard my first band Theaudience, being played in the show - it was a bit of an 'I've made it' moment!"

While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw The Whole Of The Moon
You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the starts
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
...but you swooned!
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high
Too far too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon!
Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags rags ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like comet
Blazing your trail
Too high too far too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

The Whole Of The Moon

Mike Scott sketched out the song in a New York hotel after his girlfriend asked him if it was hard to write a song. The result was a tribute to some artists he admired, including Prince and the writer C.S. Lewis.

The Waterboys were a British group formed in London in 1981 by Mike Scott (guitar/vocals) and Anthony Thistlewaite (multi-instrumentalist). They later added Karl Wallinger (guitar) Steve Wickham (fiddle) and Kevin Wilkinson (drums). This was their first UK Top 40 hit.

The year after this was released, Wallinger left the band to form World Party, who had a #27 US hit with "Ship Of Fools."

When this was re-issued in 1991 it went to #3 in the UK, becoming The Waterboys only British Top 20 hit.

Theme Lyrics

Theme

This instrumental is a previously unreleased Talking Heads song that was placed online in December 2013. The track was recorded at CBGB's in New York on July 30, 1976 and revealed at the Talking-Heads.nl, a Dutch information website for the band. Webmaster Francey explained, "The instrumental song is introduced by David Byrne as 'Theme' and never developed into a complete song. Talking Heads played two sets at legendary venue CBGB's that night, opening both times for Television. The recording is of the first Talking Heads set of that night. It's unknown whether it was played during the second set as well. David Byrne introduces the track as 'We call it "Theme," but then we just keep it to ourselves.'"
