'Play That Funky Music' - Wild Cherry

(Escuchar en www.Goear.com)

Hey, Once I was a funky singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band

I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show
 

Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh ya, ya
I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (How could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, loosing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same

Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day.

Wild World

Mr. Big, 1993

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Born To Be Wild

Blue Öyster Cult, 1975

Get your motor runnin'
head out on the highway
lookin' for adventure
and whatever comes our way
yeah darlin' go make it happen
take the world in a love embrace
fire all of your guns at once
and explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
heavy metal thunder
racin' with the wind
and the feelin' that i'm under
yeah darlin' go make it happen
take the world in a love embrace
fire all of your guns at once
and explode into space
Like a true nature's child
we were born, born to be wild
we can climb so high
i never wanna die
Born to be wild
born to be wild
