Shawty, what yo' name is?

Them hustlas keep on talkin'
They like the way I'm walkin'
You saying that you want me?
So press record, I'll let you film me

On your video phone
Make a cameo
Tape me on your video phone
I can handle you
Watch me on your video phone
On your video, video
If you want me you can watch me on your video phone

I love how you approach me
Fresh white, with your pants, hanging grown man low
Everything you sayin' soundin' good to me
No need to convince me anymore
Swagger, it's right, one blade is tight
And I smell your cologne in the air
Baby, you doin' somethin' right
You just cancelled every other man here
You say you like my bag, and the color of my nails
You can see that I got it goin' on
I wanna make sure you remember me
So I'ma leave my number on your video phone
I got no time for frontin'
I know just what I'm wantin'
If it's gonna be you and me
When I call, they better see me on your video screen

Them hustlas keep on talkin'
They like the way I'm walkin'
You saying that you want me?
So press record, I'll let you film me

On your video phone
Make a cameo
Tape me on your video phone
I can handle you
Watch me on your video phone
On your video, video
If you want me you can watch me on your video phone

You a cutie
You should let me put you in my movies
Do shoot into a star of your own hit song
We can shoot the video right here on my cellphone
I never seen a smile so pretty
I need to know I'll always have you wit' me
So take your picture on my video phone
You can pick your own song
And you could be the only one
I know you like that
Can turn you into a star, I got it like that (like that)
Baby don't fight it
'Cause when I miss your call I hit you right back
On my video phone

Them hustlas keep on talkin'
They like the way I'm walkin'
You saying that you want me?
So press record, I'll let you film me

On your video phone
Make a cameo
Tape me on your video phone
I can handle you
Watch me on your video phone
On your video, video
If you want me you can watch me on your video phone

You know them G's they be hollerin'
'Specially them hot ones
Brooklyn, Atlanta, Houston to New Orleans
When they see me they be like, "Yo, B, let me call you"
You breakin' my focus, boy, you cute and you ballin'
You like it when I shake it?
Shawty on a mission, what yo' name is?
What? You want me naked?
If you liking this position you can tape it
On your video phone

Hustlas keep on talkin' (talkin', talkin')
You like the way it's poppin' (poppin', poppin')
You saying that you want me? (Want me)
Press record, baby film me

On your video phone
Make a cameo
Take me on your video phone (film me)
I can handle you
Watch me on your video phone (film me)
On your video, video
If you want me you can watch me on your video phone

    the video with gaga is horrible and lacks originality. Ghetto beats don't really work with gaga's voice.

    The beginning of the chorus takes the melody from "hey mickey" and the verse takes most of its melody from R Kelly's "Trapped in the closet"

    Nothing new here

    I love the remix she did with Gaga. And I thought the music video was quite interesting.

    In the remix version - I think it's:

    I'll be your Jean, you'll be my Brando

    Instead of 'Gene', as it could be a reference Guys & Dolls, in which Jean Simmons stars opposite Marlon Brando

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."

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
