Down Boy Lyrics

Down Boy

This '90s throwback Dance tune finds Kele partnering with vocalist Bobbie Gordon. The Bloc Party frontman commented: "Both Bobbie and I love the music from the mid-90s, so we wanted to make something that had a break-beat vibe. Bobbie's voice is totally unique-sounding; it's playful and soulful at the same time. She has a very unique quality to her voice but is a versatile singer as well."

The vinyl record was billed as the world's first to be printed using 3D technology.

The song was a charity single with proceeds going to Nordoff Robins, which specializes in music therapy.

Gimme Dat Ding Lyrics

That's right, That's right
I'm sad and blue
'Cause I can't do the Boogaloo
I'm lost, I'm lost
Can't do my thing
That's why I sing

Gimme, Gimme Dat Ding Ah...
Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Dat
Gimme Dat Ding, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat Ding
Gimme Dat, Gimme, Gimme Dat,
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Dat Ding (Oh Sing it one more time Momma)
Oh,Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Dat
Gimme Dat Ding, Gimme Dat
Gimme, Gimme Dat, Gimme Dat Ding
Gimme Dat, Gimme, Gimme Dat,
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Dat Ding (Ah, you ain't doin' that late at night)
Ah, what good's a metronome
Without a bell for ringing
Not once, can't anybody ever tell he's swinging
How can you tell the rythmn written on the bar
How can you ever hope to know where you are?

Gimme Dat Ding

Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood wrote this song. Some other hit songs they wrote include "The Air That I Breathe," "Free Electric Band" and "It Never Rains In Southern California," which was a hit for Hammond.

Hammond and Hazlewood wrote this for the children's television show Oliver And The Overlord. Later, it the became background tune used on The Benny Hill show.

The Pipkins were not a real group - the song was recorded by producer Roger Greenaway and session singer Tony Burrows. For live appearances, The Pipkins were Davey Sands and Len Marshall.

This was used on the TV show Ally McBeal several times, for John Cage (played by Peter MacNicol) to do his "Angry Dance" to.

Singer Tony Burrows told the story of the song to Mojo magazine August 2010: "It was written for a children's TV programme called Oliver In The Underworld. "Freddie Garrity (of Freddie and the Dreamers) was the artist. It was the only song Freddie didn't do on the album, Roger Greenaway and I were booked to do backing vocals for the album at Abbey Road. Basically we made (Ding) in the studio. It was a conversation between a metonome and a pianola - the metronome had lost its click, so it was originally called Gimme Dat Click. But that wouldn't sing, so we changed it."

Burrows admitted to Mojo: "I was surprised it was a hit. It was banned in Italy, they thought it was vulgar."

Burrows was part of four different acts that had a hit song around this time. In addition to The Pipkins, he sang lead on Love Grows (where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison Lighthouse, "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains, and "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man. Burrows performed all three of these songs just mentioned in addition to "Gimme Dat Ding" on the BBC music show Top of the Pops in 1970. He told Mojo: "The producer said, 'The word has come from above that you're not to be used any more, people are beginning to think it's a con.' They banned me from Top of the Pops. I was not played by the BBC for two years."

Old School Love Lyrics

Give me that Old School Love right now
You know that only you and me alone

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

Give me that late 80's early 90's old school
Feeling like my second album, so cool
Chiraq summer looking so cruel
Look shorty in the eye, told me it was no rules
Went to speak but was like never mind
Let my mind just sneak back to a better time
When I was his age and if he's ever mine
Thinking he would only think back to this and never find
Better times to think back to when it comes
And he's older in the presence of somebody young
Telling him the same things that he told me
And he reacts the same way as that O.G.
But it's old school, it's like '03
And this old man is my old me
Takes a long time to happen so fast
To realize that your future is somebody else's past, what's up

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

Analog black vinyl spinning sounding so good
Top down, can't be a classic if it's no wood
If you don't know what, then you new school
Floor model is the foundation for your YouTubes
Model flows off of Fat Boys and Juice Crews
Melle Mel's, Ice-T's, and the 2 Cools
Add a Moe Dee and a Double L
Had to walk cause it's hard to run in those unbuckled shells
One microphone and a couple 12s
Six drum sounds and a couple bells
Is all you had to make a couple rails
And that's a track, and if you want it (Eh)
You have to make it like that
Now what's one turtle to a couple snails?
Takes a long time to happen so fast
And realize your future is somebody else's past, what's up

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

Chiraq summer looking so cruel
How can I reel-to-reel when there's Pro Tool?
I can't dig it at all because there's no tube
Fire when you speak but ain't no warmth in your vocals
Might have been a better rhyme then just never mind
If it's better with time then think in line
That you're going to be your nicest 'round your midlife crisis
If your life like Christ live your midlife like it's Christ-like
But nigga' I ain't psychic
I know it's all a cycle and everybody bike it
And France is enormous you're Lance with endorsements
But you might need a hand to enhance your performance
Consider this a kilogram of encouragement
Teach you how to sneak it past the enforcement
And when you get it through in a manner so cool
Remember to give a little nod to the old school, what's up

Give me that old school love right now
I'm leaving it all up to you darling,
Giving you everything you want
And give me that old school love right now
You know that only you and me alone

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

As long as I'm here
As long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now

Old School Love

This stand alone single is an easygoing, positive jam that finds the Chi-City rhymer reminiscing about the good old days of hip-hop as he shouts out old school rappers such as The Fat Boys, Melle Mel and Ice-T.

English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran croons the chorus. While it may seem like an unexpected match, the "The A Team" singer has previously collaborated with several rappers from his home country including Devlin on the UK Top Ten single "Watchtower" and Wretch 32 on the track "Hush Little Baby."

Sheraan told Nova FM back in February 2013 that he was about to record the song with Lu. "We have the same A&R in America and… he just gave me about seven beats and said write choruses to all of these beats," he said. "Lupe loved one of them and is going to hop on it. I'm a massive Lupe Fiasco fan so it's cool."

Lu created a blog for his fans to share some memories of their old school love.

The song samples the piano riff from Kanye West’s "Family Business" off his 2004 debut album The College Dropout.

Enola Gay Lyrics

Enola Gay

The Enola Gay was the American plane that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima in World War II. It was named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the plane's pilot, Paul Tibbets. So why did the electronic music group OMD write a song about it? In our 2010 interview, we asked their lead singer Andy McCluskey, who replied: "Many people simply don't know what it's actually about. Some even thought it was a coded message that we were gay. We were both geeks about WWII airplanes. The most famous and influential single bomber was Enola Gay. Obvious choice for us, really."

OMD is the shortened form of the band's full name: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. This was the first of 7 Top-10 UK singles for the group; their only US hit was "If You Leave," which was written for the 1985 movie Pretty In Pink.

OMD played this in the 1981 cult film Urgh! A Music War, which is a collection of Punk and New Wave band performances.

Andy McCluskey of OMD explained in a September 2010 interview with CMU how the OMD duo create a track. "The music always comes first, usually inspired by a noise or drum pattern, or a sample or something. But I do have ideas about songs I want to write, lyrically or thematically. In the early days I was Mr. Anorak, I had a ring binder full of proposed song titles and ideas that I tried to marry with the music we made and I'd go, 'Oh, that might go on that'. So the music always comes first and the words go on top."

Pentatonix are an a capella group comprising Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola. The quintet released a video in late 2013, in which they covered The Harry Simeone Chorale's holiday classic to the background of Los Angeles as a gift for their three million followers. The clip began with 6.4 million US Streams in its first week, resulting in it debuting at #13 on the Hot 100, which was coincidentally the peak position of The Harry Simeone Chorale's famous rendition of the song.

The song achieved a high chart placing as a result of a change in Billboard's methodology in February 2013, when YouTube views and other streams became a factor in tabulating the Hot 100. Baauer's chart-topping single, "Harlem Shake" was the first song to benefit from the new policy.

Asked by Billboard magazine what the impetus was for recording the song, the quintet replied: "We'd been wanting to arrange the song for a while, but could never really figure out a direction. We decided to just try it out, and we were incredibly happy with the way it turned out!"

Surfin' Safari

Released June 4th 1962, this was the Beach Boys' first major hit. In his 1990 autobiography Brian Wilson said it sold 900,000 copies, and more overseas: #1 in Sweden, #13 in New Zealand, and a hit too in Italy and France, where it attracted cover versions.

Written by Wilson and lead singer Mike Love , this was the first recording to display the distinctive counterpoint harmonies for which the group became famous. The recording was also self-produced, and taken to Capitol complete with its B-side "409" which was a minor hit. This precedent made the Beach Boys the first total, self-contained artists of the Rock Era, not to be matched for many years to come.

When the Chrysler corporation conducted a survey in 2004 on "What is the best song to cruise to?" - this won.

The Beach Boys had signed with Capitol Records, and when this song was climbing the charts, they were working on their first album.

On the DVD Brian Wilson Songwriter 1962 - 1969 , Mike Love credits Murry Wilson - father of Brian, Carl and Dennis of The Beach Boys - with the distinctive treblelly guitar sound on this track. When Brian Wilson would leave the control room to record his bass parts, Murry, who fancied himself a producer, would switch the sounds on the guitars to the treble he preferred. Love feels that guitar sound really cut through and helped "Surfin' Safari" sell.

Paddy McAloon sings here about meeting songwriting legend Jimmy Webb . He told Mojo November 2013: "I met him on a TV show in the early '90s in Dublin. I wouldn't have the nerve to do it now...it's a vague chronology of that day, more of a fan letter, if my 11-year-old self had been able to write one to Jimmy Webb."

McAloon added: "'Wichita Lineman' is embedded in a strange school memory of having to go on a cross country run and passing this pub, hearing it on the radio and it doing something, like a chemical shift. That was the beginning, yeah."

According to an interview with Paddy McAloon on BBC Radio 6 Music, the Crimson/Red album title is a reference to Mark Rothgo. The Abstract Expressionist painter is considered to be one of the most famous postwar American artists along with Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning.

Secret Agent Man Lyrics

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, I know they've take away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, I know they've take away your name

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, oh they've taken away your name

Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh, don't you let you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number, oh they've take away your name

Secret Agent Man

This was the theme for a TV show called Secret Agent, starring Patrick McGoohan. Unlike many TV themes, the song held up on its own with a distinctive dueling guitar sound.

This is an example of "Spy" music. The sound implied action and was associated with James Bond movies.

P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who at the time were just starting the band The Grass Roots, wrote this song. Secret Agent was a US adaptation of a hit show in England called Dangerman, and CBS needed a 15-second theme to replace the British version. Sloan wrote of the song (from his website): "Somebody thought I should do a full length instrumental of the song. So I did. Meanwhile the song was picked by CBS and Johnny Rivers recorded the quick 15-second song for the TV show. The Ventures, the genius guitar instrumental group, heard the demo and recorded and released the song way before Rivers even had a finished song. The publishers asked me to finish the song, Rivers recorded it, not one of his favorite songs back then, but he's happier with it now."

Some of the artists to record this song include Hank Williams Jr., Devo and Blues Traveler.

P.F. Sloan wrote the riff for this song first, then came up with the lyric that went, "Look out Danger Man..." When the title of the show was changed to Secret Agent, he says it was a breakthrough. "That changed everything," he told us. "The lyric just came together in no time at all. It just worked immediately."

This was used in commercials for Wal-Mart and also for Chase credit cards. Some of the many movies to use the song include Repo Man, Bowfinger, Can't Buy Me Love, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.

According to P.F. Sloan, Johnny Rivers didn't like this song, and was content to record just the quick TV version until The Ventures charted with it. Both acts recorded for subsidiaries of Liberty Records, and the label was able to convince Rivers to record it.

Sloan told us in 2014 that Rivers had clearly embraced the song. "I saw him about two months ago and I've got to say he did an absolutely killer version," he said. "Johnny must have sang that song half a million times, and he still sings it with so much gusto, and the audience goes nuts. That's something great to see."

The Ventures instrumental version peaked at #54 US on March 26, 1966. Rivers' version hit its peak on April 23. His rendition is substantially longer, running 3:03 vs. 2:17.

Skyscraper Lyrics

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a Skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here,
Watch you disappear
Yeah, oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Oh oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

Prison officer Sam Bailey was able to launch her music career after triumphing in the final of the tenth season of The X Factor. The mother of two had previously auditioned for the show in 2007, but never made it in front of judges. Bailey was dubbed 'Screwbo' during her run in the 2013 series as prison wardens are often called 'screws' and her first audition was reminiscent of Susan Boyle's - who was affectionately called SuBo.

Bailey released a cover of Demi Lovato's hit song as her winner's single, following her victory over Nicholas McDonald in the final. It was made available to download from iTunes in the UK the day after her victory and given a physical release a couple of days later with the addition of three of Bailey's best X Factor performances - "The Power Of Love," "Make You Feel My Love" and "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)."

100% of the profits from the sales of each CD single and download were shared equally between Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and Together For Short Lives.

The song sold 149,000 copies in its first seven days to top the UK singles chart in the Christmas week. The opening tally was the second-lowest total for the debut single by an X Factor winner, higher only than Steve Brookstein's 127,000 for his cover of Phil Collins' "Against All Odds" in 2004.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

AC/DC lead guitarist Angus Young got the song title from the 1962 animated cartoon series Beany and Cecil. The Show first aired on ABC Television and only ran for one season until the 26 episodes shown were cast as repeats for the next five years until it was recreated in 1968. The specific inspiration for the song name was the cartoon's main villain, "Dishonest John," who would carry around a business card that said, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Holidays, Sundays, and Special Rates."

This song epitomizes AC/DC's dangerous and mean sound, with Angus Young's heavy guitar and Bon Scott's leering, vocals that would have scared the living daylights out of any unsuspecting teenage Pop fans when this song first hit the airwaves (they did it on a national TV show in Australia called Countdown, which was usually frequented by acts like ABBA and Bucks Fizz).

This was recorded at Alberts Studios in Sydney, Australia in 1976 soon after the sessions that produced the Australian version of their TNT album.

The ending is one of the most famous screams in Rock history. For those wondering, it's spelled: "Yaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggghhhhhh!"

This was used in the Norm MacDonald movie Dirty Work. It is played while Norm's character Mitch and his friend Sam are wrecking a building in an attempt to get it condemned.

Lesley Gore, known for '60s hits like "It's My Party," recorded this for the 2002 compilation album When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear . Her version was produced by Mauro DeSantis, who worked with Cevin Soling on the track. Soling, who was executive producer of the album, explains why he chose this song for Gore: "Her stuff was fairly empowering as far as female artists and things that she was doing. So it's not like it was the complete stretch, but you still think kind of the lighter girl-group kind of music from the '60s, and here's something that's pretty hard-core aggressive. But at the same time, I certainly concede that she was doing edgy stuff in her own way, at the time." (Check out our interview with Cevin Soling.)

On a 2008 episode of The Simpsons where they team up on a stakeout, we learn that Homer Simpson and the pious Ned Flanders have come common ground in their musical tastes. Homer likes AC/DC, and Ned likes their Christian tribute band: AD/BC, and their version of this song, "Kindly Deeds Done For Free."

Regarding the lyrics, "Just ring: 3-6-2-4-3-6," this was an actual phone number in Australia at the time, and it also could describe the measurements of a very shapely woman: 36-24-36. A year later, the Commodores used the same measurements to describe a woman in their song "Brick House." Sir Mix-a-Lot, however, scoffed at these measurements in his 1992 hit "Baby Got Back," where he says: "36-24-36? Only if she's 5'3."

The song about murder for hire enjoyed a sales spike following drummer Phil Rudd being charged with trying to procure a murder in November 2014. The charge was soon dropped.

Lonely Girl you lost the only thing you loved
Nothing that you have is ever good enough
And I won't be the one to keep you safe
And I won't be the one who stays the same

You got a lot of nerve and
Looks like the tables turning
And now you're wishing me well like you miss me
You got a dirty tongue and
Looks like the damage done is forever
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no

Lonely girl it looks like you are out of luck
Tell me how it feels to watch your friends give up
I was on your side
I stood by you
So go ahead and cry it's just like you

You got a lot of nerve and
Looks like the tables turning
And now you're wishing me well like you miss me
You got a dirty tongue and
Looks like the damage done is forever
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no

And I don't feel sorry for you, sorry for you
'Cause now the tables turning
And now the bridge is burning
It's coming crashing down
Crashing down
Over you, over you, over you, over you

You got a lot of nerve and
Looks like the tables turning
And now you're wishing me well like you miss me
You got a dirty tongue and
Looks like the damage done is forever
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no
And it's a long time to miss me

Lonely Girl

Vocalist Jenna McDougall explained to Kerrang! magazine that the background of this song concerns a broken friendship. "It's me speaking to a friend I no longer speak to," the Australian singer said. "She would always cry out for attention and complain about everything that was wrong in her life, but she wouldn't help herself or ask for help from anyone else. It was really difficult to be a friend to someone who pushes you away like that, and in the end, she told me to never speak to her again. The song is me closing the book on the friendship."

McDougall added that the song is also relatable to other people's situations. "Everyone's got ex-best-friends, and I've found that the reality of growing up is that you leave people behind and people leave you behind. The song's about coming to terms with that and finding yourself as your own personal and letting go of the grudges that in the end do nothing but hold you back. At heart, it's a coming-of-age song, which is an important event in the lives of everybody."

Heresy Lyrics

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He's got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed up a god and called it Christianity

Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I will see you there
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name

Your god is dead and no one cares
Drowning in his own hypocrisy
And if there is a hell I will see you there
Burning with your god in humility
Will you die for this?

Heresy

This song is about confronting and questioning Christianity. The lyrics describe how Christianity is used to control people and how it contradicts itself: "His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain demands devotion atrocities done in his name."

Nine Inch Nails mainman Trent Reznor explained that much of The Downward Spiral album dealt with how people were always trying to control you, and this song takes on a specific institution. He told Kerrang!: "Churches tell you to do this and that, or the punishment will be going to Hell. In every relationship you get into, someone wants to control it. I'm aware of that, I'm addressing it, I'm challenging it."
