Whoa-ho-ho ham gadda zoo ga no baba dee gom Shake your lovemaka... rakha!

Ooh, yabadabadabadabayaa ya d'ya d'ya d'ya
Doo da da da da da da daa

Hold de door for ol' hi dee ho.
Step to da rhythm on da ballroom floor.
Tip down your glasses and give'em a wink
To all the flappers and the mob and
Hollywood ratfinks.

Strut your stuff,
Get loaded and jive.
Tip tap your toes
And do the Fred Astaire Slide.

Savor the flavor all the kittens purr,
Just shake,
Shake shake
Shake shake
Your little lovemaker.

Oh, shake, shake shake

Come on and shake, shake shake

Boom ba de da doo ba day

Come on and shake, shake shake

Room ba de da doop shake your lovemaker
(shake your lovemaker)

The blonde bombshell,
Destroyin' men.
Her blue eyes're smokey like an opium den.

But she giggles
And blows you a kiss.
Then she'll whisper sweet nothings like a serpent's hiss.

Broadway rhythm,
Tophat and cane.
Poppin' eyes and
Flashin' feet.

Forget the nine-to-five swastika, just
Shake, shake shake
Shake shake
Your little lovemaker

Oh, shake shake shake
(shake shake)
Room ba dee a doo a day
(shake your lovemaker)

Come on and shake shake shake

Boom ga dee ga doo ga day

Come on and shake shake shake

Boom ba da doo ba day

Come on and shake shake shake

Room ba dee a doop shake your lovemaker
(shake your lovemaker)

Come and shake-a
That lovemaker.
Whoa-oh oh-a doe-ba doe-ba la-ah

Yoo a doe-ay-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh-ah'm
Whoa-ho-ho zama de goo-ma no jimi de bum ba de shake your lovemaker

    i really dig the way he uses his voice in the beginning, to sound like a sax and all... and i like the way he talkes about maybe the 20's and how they partied then just as hard as we do now.....

    its awesome...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
