Sdreveide!
Nismese gotchetene bolghers chetegossuve!
Pretzdavimivi Elio e le Storie Tese.

Ha ha ha ha, thank you.
Thank you to the Bulgarian State Radio
and Television Female Choir,
who finally brought us a state of the art balcanic dance,
more human, more true - Più umano più vero
A sincere dance - È un ballo sincero
eh, sure given the international situation
we had to promise them “Ramaya” (which was a big hit),
but my friends I assure you it was worth it.
IT WAS WORTH IT! Do you understand?
Hooray for Italia, hooray for Bulgaria
who gave us the gift of the PIPPPERO;
let’s circle our fingers and connect falanges,
that’s the dance called the PIPPPERO;
friends in the Bulgarian Secret Service,
don’t shoot at the Pope anymore,
but dedicate yourselves to the PIPPPERO.
Bulgarian people, Italian people,
Bulgarian and Italian Secret Services, let’s go.
Listen how the PIPPPERO pumps...
IT’S “ROTATE YOUR FINGERS” TIME
IT’S “PUT YOUR FALANGES TOGETHER” TIME

Very good, let me teach you some Italian.
Repeat after me:
Più umano, più vero - Più umano più vero
È un ballo straniero - È un ballo straniero
Qui l’atmosfera sa di Pipppero - Qui l’atmosfera sa di Pipppero
Se in discuteca balli u Pippperu Pipppero - Se in discuteca balli u Pippperu Pipppero
Very good, now only:
Più umano, più vero. È un ballo sincero.
E la tua estate sa di PIPPPERO – Ah cazzo, very good -
non senti come pompa il PIPPPERO
pump up pump up pump up pump up:
good God, pump up the PIPPPERO
Più umano, più vero. È un ballo sincero.
Più umano, più veeeeeeerooooo.
Are you rotating your fingers?
Are you connecting your falanges?
Are you making friends with people whose skin
is a different colour than yours ?
Good for you! Now it’s time to sing out loud
“Ramaya, Ramaya, Ramaya, Rarrà”
Il Pipppero is a dance that you and I can do,
With a pizza pie up in the sky
And love is there if you sing: “Amore”
Stallion am I, Balcanic you
We can make love because I’m stallion
I do it better with mozzarella
You sing “Mamma mia”, and we’ll eat “Spaghetti”
Hahahaha, Bulgarian State Television Choir,
why don’t you take a look to the records I have here:
I can give you “Kung Fu Fighting” by Carl Douglas
Gnackishgna.
Do you want “Fly Robin Fly”?
Aren’t you interested in that?
Gnackishgna.
“Ali Shuffle”? No? Gnackishgna.
“Disco Inferno”? Come on
Gnackishgna.
Something by the Carpenters ?
Gnackishgna.
Boney M, like “Ma Baker” Gna “Daddy Cool”, “Rasputin”
Gnackishgna.
“Gimme some”?
Gnackishgna.
Something by Imagination, by Plastinc Bertrand, “Ping Pong”, “Hula Hoop”?
How about “Cuba” by the Gibson Brothers, come on, Bulgarian State Television Choir.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
