Dance Tonight

1 - [Raphael Saadiq] (Dawn Robinson)

I wanna dance tonight
(Dance tonight)
I wanna toast tonight
(Toast tonight)
I'll spend my money tonight
(Spend your money)
I'll spend my money tonight
(Spend your money, yeah)
I wanna dance tonight
(Dance tonight)
I wanna toast tonight
(Toast tonight)
I'll spend my money tonight
(Spend your money)
I wanna get freaky tonight
(Freakin' baby yeah)

First thing we need to do
Is find brand new fits for you
Make sure that you look good
Make sure that I smell good
Let's purchase two new Bentleys
I know that it looks trendy
So glad that it's not windy
Here comes that girl named Dawny
Ask if she wants to go
Tonight's gonna be hot for sure
Big dancing on the floor
Folks strippin' I don't know
Money flying everywhere
Champagne we won't go there
Bottles poppin' in the air
They'll be screaming I don't care

Repeat 1

Look perfect and can't help it
Me and a couple friends
Don't need to settle down
My body don't know how
Right there I see you looking
Sure hope that you're not tooken
Don't get lost in the crowd
This place just so damn wild
Go ahead and flush your eyes
Go ahead do what you like
I'm feeling just as fly
Do you hear your song tonight?

Repeat 1

[Dawn Robinson](Raphael Saadiq)
Dance tonight, toast tonight
Spend your money baby
(Spend my money)
Dance tonight, toast tonight
(Dance tonight)
Freak your body baby
Dance tonight, toast tonight
(Dance tonight, another toast baby)
Spend your money baby
Dance tonight, toast tonight
Freak your body baby

Repeat 1 till end

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
