    The Right Thing To Do
    Composer(s): Carly Simon
    Performer(s): Carly Simon



    There's nothin' you can do to turn me away
    Nothin' anyone can say
    You're with me now and as long as you stay
    Lovin you's the right thing to do
    Lovin you's the right thing

    I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before
    They drove you or you drove them crazy
    But more important is I know you're the one and I'm sure
    Lovin you's the right thing to do
    Lovin you's the right thing

    And it used to be for a while
    That the river flowed right to my door
    Making me just a little too free
    But now the river doesn't seem to stop here anymore

    Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers
    Set me movin' to your sweetest song
    And I know what I think I've known all along
    Lovin you's the right thing to do
    Lovin you's the right thing
    Lovin you's the right thing to do
    Is the right thing to do

    Nothing you can ever do would turn me away from you
    Well, I love you now and I love you now
    Even though you're ten thousand miles away
    I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today
    I'm in love, babe
    I'm in love with you, babe

    Clavel Sevillano Composer(s): Agustín Lara Performer(s): Agustín Lara and multiple other artists



    Un clavel sevillano prendió en sus trenzas
    despertando una fiebre de ansias inmensas
    Un clavel encarnado como una flama
    que incendiara sus ojos de sevillana

    En su frente divina de tez morena
    temblaron sus cabellos de nazarena
    Y todos los luceros se iluminaron
    con la luz que a sus ojos arrebataron

    Clavel sevillano tan fresco y tan lindo
    tu sangre manchara el mar rojo guindo
    Clavel que supiste sus ansias de amores
    clavel que envidiaron toditas las flores

    Respect Yourself
    Composer(s): Luther Ingram; Sir Mack Rice
    Performer(s): The Staple Singers;
    and various other artists



    If you disrespect everybody that you run into
    how in the world do you think everybody's 'sposed to respect you?
    If you don't give a heck about the man with the Bible in his hand
    just get out of the way and let the gentleman do his thing
    You the kind of gentleman want everything your way
    Take the sheet off your face boy, it's a brand new day

    Respect yourself, respect yourself
    'Cause if you don't respect yourself
    ain't nobody gonna give a good, good hootenanny boy
    Respect yourself

    If you're walking around thinking that the world owes you something 'cause you're here
    you're going out the world backward like you did when you first came 'ere
    Keep talking about the president won't stop air pollution
    Put your hand over your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
    You cuss around women folk, don't even know their name
    then you're dumb enough to think it makes you a big ole man

    Respect yourself, respect yourself
    'Cause if you don't respect yourself
    ain't nobody gonna give a good, good hootenanny boy
    Respect yourself
    Respect yourself...

    The Riff Song
    Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Otto Harbach - Oscar Hammerstein II
    Performer(s): Robert Halliday
    and multiple other artists



    Over the ground there comes a sound
    It is the drum, drum, drum of hoofbeats in the sand

    Quiver with fear if you are near
    It is the thunder of The Shadow and his Band
    (And all who plunder learn to understand)
    (To understand the cry of...)

    Ho!
    So we sing as we are riding
    Ho!
    It's a time you'd best be hiding
    Low
    It means the Riffs are abroad
    Go
    Before you've bitten the sword

    Ho!
    That's the sound that comes to warn you
    So!
    In the night or early morn, you know
    If you're The Red Shadow's foe
    The Riffs will strike with a blow
    That brings you woe!

    No darkest night can bring respite
    For still the drum, drum, drum of hoofbearts in the air

    No flying steed could match in speed
    The swiftness of The Shadow's vengeance drawing near

    Fear grips the heart, when they the message hear
    As clarion clear the challenge

    Ho!
    So we sing as we are riding
    Ho!
    It's a time you'd best be hiding
    Low
    It means the Riffs are abroad
    Go
    Before you've bitten the sword

    Ho!
    That's the sound that comes to warn you
    So!
    In the night or early morn, you know
    If you're The Red Shadow's foe
    The Riffs will strike with a blow
    That brings you woe!

    Composer(s): Ervin M. Drake

    There's a coolie name o' Chulee
    Runs a rickety rickshaw south of Peking
    He goes a clippety-clop-clop
    Clippety-clop-clop
    As he hobbles down the cobble stoned street

    He's romantic and his antics are the
    Talk of the girlies south of Peking
    Their hearts go flippety-flop-flop
    Flippety-flop-flop
    As he hobbles down the cobble stoned street

    For the first quarter of a mile
    He'll only charge a pretty girl a smile
    For every quarter after this
    He'll collect a kiss

    When the moon is high and ladies sigh
    The rickety rickshaw comes a creakin'
    He goes a clippety-clop-clop

    As he hobbles down the cobble stoned street

    Look at him hobble down the cobble stoned street

    Sure is a hit with all the girls that he meets

    For the first quarter of a mile
    He'll only charge a pretty girl a smile
    For every quarter after this
    He'll collect a kiss

    When the moon is high and ladies sigh
    The rickety rickshaw comes a creakin'
    He goes a clippety-clop-clop
    Clippety-clop-clop
    As he hobbles down the cobble stoned street

    Running as fast, fast, fast as he can

    Klik op de afbeelding om de link te volgen

    Claude Dallas Composer(s): Tom Russell - Ian Tyson First release by: Ian Tyson - 1986



    In a land the Spanish once had called the Northern Mystery
    Where rivers run and disappear the mustang still is free
    By the Devil's wash and coyote hole in the wild Owyhee Range
    Somewhere in the sage tonight the wind calls out his name
    Aye, aye, aye

    Come gather 'round me buckaroos and a story I will tell
    Of the fugitive Claude Dallas who just broke out of jail
    You might think this tale is history from before the West was won
    But the events that I'll describe took place in nineteen eighty-one

    He was born out in Virginia,left home when school was through
    In the deserts of Nevada he became a buckaroo
    And he learned the ways of cattle, and he learned to sit a horse
    And he always packed a pistol, and he practiced deadly force

    Then Claude he became a trapper, and he dreamed of the bygone days
    And he studied bobcat logic and their wild and silent ways
    In the bloody runs near Paradise, in monitors down south
    Trapping cats and coyotes, living hand to mouth
    Aye, aye, aye

    Then Claude took to livin' all alone out many miles from town
    A friend--Jim Stevens--brought supplies and he stayed to hang around
    That day two wardens--Pogue and Elms--rode into check Claude out
    They were seeking violations and to see what Claude's about

    Now Claude had hung some venison,he had a bobcat pelt or two
    Pogue claimed they were out of season, he said "Dallas, you're all thru"
    But Dallas would not leave his camp
    He refused to go to town
    As the wind howled throught the bull-camp they stared each other down

    Its hard to say what happend next, perhaps we'll never know
    They were gonna take Claude in to jail, and he vowed he'd never go
    Jim Stevens heard the gunfire, and when he turned around
    Bill Pogue was falling backwards, Conley Elms he fell face down
    Aye, aye, aye

    Jim stevens walked on over; there was a gun near Bill Pogue's hand
    It was hard to say who drawn his first,but Claude had made his stand
    Claude said "I am justified Jim,they were gonna cut me down
    And a man's got a right to hang some meat
    When he's livin' this far from town"

    It took eighteen men and fifteen months to finally run Claude down
    In the sage outside of Paradise they drove him to the ground
    Convicted up in Idaho--manslaughter by decree--
    Thirty years at maximum, but soon Claude would break free

    There's two sides two this story, there may be no right or wrong
    The lawman and the renegade have graced a thousand songs
    The story is an old one
    Conclusion's hard to draw
    But Claude's out in the sage tonight he may be the last outlaw
    Aye, aye, aye

    In a land the Spanish once had called the Northern Mystery
    Where rivers run and disappear the mustang still is free
    By the Devil's wash and the coyote hole in the wild Owyhee Range
    Somewhere in the sage tonight the wind calls out his name
    Aye, aye, aye

    Résiste
    Composer(s): Michel Berger
    Performer(s): France Gall



    Si on t'organise une vie bien dirigée
    Où tu t'oublieras vite
    Si on te fait danser sur une musique sans âme
    Comme un amour qu'on quitte
    Si tu réalises que la vie n'est pas là
    Que le matin tu te lèves
    Sans savoir où tu vas

    Résiste
    Prouve que tu existes
    Cherche ton bonheur partout, va
    Refuse ce monde égoïste
    Résiste
    Suis ton cœur qui insiste
    Ce monde n'est pas le tien, viens
    Bats-toi, signe et persiste
    Résiste

    Tant de libertés pour si peu de bonheur
    Est-ce que ça vaut la peine
    Si on veut t'amener à renier tes erreurs
    C'est pas pour ça qu'on t'aime
    Si tu réalises que l'amour n'est pas là
    Que le soir tu te couches
    Sans aucun rêve en toi

    Résiste
    Prouve que tu existes
    Cherche ton bonheur partout, va
    Refuse ce monde égoïste
    Résiste
    Suis ton cœur qui insiste
    Ce monde n'est pas le tien, viens
    Bats-toi, signe et persiste
    Résiste

    Danse pour le début du monde
    Danse pour tous ceux qui ont peur
    Danse pour les milliers de cœurs
    Qui ont droit au bonheur...
    Résiste {3x}

    Résiste
    Prouve que tu existes
    Cherche ton bonheur partout, va
    Refuse ce monde égoïste
    Résiste
    Suis ton cœur qui insiste
    Ce monde n'est pas le tien, viens
    Bats-toi, signe et persiste
    Résiste...

    Rhubarb Tart Song
    Composer(s): John Cleese
    Performer(s): John Cleese



    I want another slice of rhubarb tart
    I want another lovely slice
    I'm not disparaging the blueberry pie
    But rhubarb tart is, oh, so very nice
    A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
    A what-barb tart? A rhubarb tart!
    I want another slice of rhubarb tart!

    The principles of modern philosophy
    Were postulated by Descartes
    Discarding everything he wasn't certain of
    He said 'I think, therefore I am a rhubarb tart'
    A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
    A René who? René Descartes!
    Poor nut, he thought he was a rhubarb tart!

    Read all the existentialist philosophers
    Like Schopenhauer and Jean-Paul Sartre
    Even Martin Heidegger agrees on one thing
    Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart
    A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
    A Jean-Paul who? A Jean-Paul Sartre!
    Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart

    A rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets
    Especially the immortal bard
    He caused Richard the Third to call on Bosworth Field
    'My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart!'
    A rhubarb what? A rhubarb bard!
    Immortal what? Immortal tart!
    As rhymes go, that is really pretty bard!

    The Class of '57 ((Danish Version: Klassen Der Gik Ud I 63 (Peter Belli) - 1973)) Composer(s): Don Reid - Harold Reid First release by: The Statler Brothers - 1972



    Tommy's sellin' used cars, Nancy's fixin' hair
    Harvey runs a grocery store and Margaret doesn't care
    Jerry drives a truck for Sears and Charlotte's on the make
    And Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate

    Helen is a hostess, Frank works at the mill
    Jeanette teaches grade school and prob'ly always will
    Bob works for the city and Jack's in lab research
    And Peggy plays organ at the Presbiterian Church

    And the class of '57 has dreams
    We all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds
    Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs
    The class of '57 has dreams

    Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware
    Randy's on an insane ward and Mary's on welfare
    Charlie took a job with Ford and Joe took Freddie's wife
    Charlotte took a millionaire and Freddie took his life

    John is big in cattle, Ray is deep in debt
    Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet
    Linda married Sonny, Brenda married me
    And the class of all of us is just part of history

    And the class of '57 has dreams
    But livin' life day to day is never like it seems
    Things get complicated when you get past eighteen
    But the class of '57 has dreams
    Ah, the class of '57 has dreams

    Rose Garden
    Composer(s): Joe South
    Performer(s): Lynn Anderson



    I beg your pardon
    I never promised you a rose garden
    Along with the sunshine
    There's got to be a little rain some time
    When you take you got to give so live and let live
    Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
    I beg your pardon
    I never promised you a rose garden

    I could promise you things like big diamond rings
    But you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover
    So you better think it over
    Well if sweet-talking you could make it come true
    I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
    But what would it matter
    So smile for a while and let's be jolly
    Love shouldn't be so melancholy
    Come along and share the good times while we can

    I beg your pardon
    I never promised you a rose garden
    Along with the sunshine
    There's got to be a little rain some time

    I beg your pardon
    I never promised you a rose garden
    I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
    But if that's what it takes to hold you
    I'd just as soon let you go
    But there's one thing I want you to know
    You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
    And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
    And you know what I'm talking about
    So smile for a while and let's be jolly
    Love shouldn't be so melancholy
    Come along and share the good times while we can

    I beg your pardon
    I never promised you a rose garden

    Along with the sunshine
    There's got to be a little rain some time

    Hörst mi net kumma, hörst mi net brumma
    Madel, hast für mi Zeit?

    I hock droben auf'm Schleudersitz, koana holt mi auf
    Lachend wirst vor der Haustür sthen, und i ziag die zu mir nauf.

    Dann bleibst für immer, runter wuist nimmer, mia fahrn irgendwo hin

    You will not be able to stay home, brother
    You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
    You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip
    Skip out for beer during commercials
    Because the revolution will not be televised

    The revolution will not be televised
    The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
    In 4 parts without commercial interruptions
    The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
    blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
    Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
    hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary
    The revolution will not be televised

    The revolution will not be brought to you by the
    Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
    Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
    The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
    The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
    The revolution will not make you look five pounds
    thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother

    There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
    pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
    or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance
    NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
    or report from 29 districts
    The revolution will not be televised

    There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
    brothers in the instant replay
    There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
    brothers in the instant replay
    There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
    run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
    There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
    Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
    Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
    For just the proper occasion

    Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
    Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
    women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
    Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
    will be in the street looking for a brighter day
    The revolution will not be televised

    There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
    news and no pictures of hairy armed women
    liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
    The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb
    Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
    Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth
    The revolution will not be televised

    The revolution will not be right back after a message
    bout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people
    You will not have to worry about a dove in your
    bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
    The revolution will not go better with Coke
    The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath
    The revolution will put you in the driver's seat

    The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised
    will not be televised, will not be televised
    The revolution will be no re-run brothers
    The revolution will be live

    Clash City Rockers Composer(s): Topper Headon - Paul Simonon - Joe Strummer - Michael Geoffrey Jones First release by: The Clash - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists



    An' I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers
    You need a little jump of electrical shockers
    You better leave town if you only wanna knock us
    Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers

    You see the rate they come down the escalator
    Now listen to the tube train accelerator
    Then you realise that you got to have a purpose
    Or this place is gonna knock you out sooner or later

    So don't complain about your useless employment
    Jack it in forever tonight
    Or shut your mouth and pretend you enjoy it
    Think of all the money you've got

    An' I wanna liquefy everybody gone dry
    Or plug into the aerials that poke up in the sky
    Or burn down the suburbs with the half-closed eyes
    You won't succeed unless you try

    You owe me a move say the bells of St. Groove
    Come on and show me say the bells of Old Bowie
    When I am fitter say the bells of Gary Glitter
    No one but you and I say the bells of Prince Far-I
    No one but you and I say the bells of Prince Far-I

    An' I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers
    You need a little jump of electrical shockers
    You better leave town if you only wanna knock us
    Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers
    Rock rock Clash city rockers

    Rescue Me
    Composer(s): Madonna; Shep Pettibone
    Performer(s): Madonna



    I'm talking, I'm talking
    I believe in the power of love
    I'm singing, I'm singing
    I believe that you can rescue me

    With you I'm not a little girl, with you I'm not a man
    When all the hurt inside of me comes out, you understand
    You see that I'm ferocious, you see that I am weak
    You see that I am silly, and pretentious and a freak

    But I don't feel too strange for you
    Don't know exactly what you do
    I think when love is pure you try
    To understand the reasons why
    And I prefer this mystery
    It cancels out my misery
    And gives me hope that there could be
    A person that loves me

    Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe)
    Your love has given me hope
    Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe)
    I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope

    With you I'm not a fascist, can't play you like a toy
    And when I need to dominate, you're not my little boy
    You see that I am hungry for a life of understanding
    And you forgive my angry little heart when she's demanding
    You bring me to my knees while I'm scratching out the eyes
    Of a world I want to conquer, and deliver, and despise
    And right while I am kneeling there
    I suddenly begin to care
    And understand that there could be
    A person that loves me

    Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe)
    Your love has given me hope
    Rescue me (rescue me, it's hard to believe)
    I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope

    Love is understanding
    It's hard to believe life can be so demanding
    I'm sending out an S.O.S.
    Stop me from drowning baby I'll do the rest

    Rescue me
    Your love has given me hope (your love has given me hope)
    Rescue me
    I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope (baby throw out your rope)
    Rescue me
    Your love has given me hope (your love has given me hope)
    Rescue me
    I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope (baby throw out your rope)

    Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding
    Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding

    Love is understanding
    It's hard to believe life can be so demanding
    I'm sending out an S.O.S.
    Rescue me, rescue me

    It's not my business to decide
    How good you are for me
    How valuable you are
    And what the world can see
    Only that you try to understand me
    And have the courage to love me for me

    (I believe in the power, I believe you can rescue me)

    I believe (I believe in the power)
    I believe that you can rescue me
    I believe (I believe in the power)
    I believe that you can rescue me

    I'm singing I believe
    I believe that you can rescue me
    I'm singing, I'm singing, I'm singing
    I believe that you can rescue me

    I'm talking, I'm talking
    I believe in the power of love
    I'm talking, I'm talking
    I believe in the power of love

    I'm singing, I'm singing, I believe
    I believe that you can rescue me

    Hey hey, hey hey
    R.E.S.C.U.E. me
    Only you can rescue me
    Hey hey, hey...
    (I believe you can rescue me)
    (I believe in the power)
    (I believe you can rescue me)

    The Young New Mexican Puppeteer
    Composer(s): Leon Carr - Earl Shuman
    First release by: Tom Jones - 1972



    In a town near Albequerqe
    Lived a most concerned young boy
    He said lately I have noticed
    Folks don't live with peace and joy

    With frowns and worry on their faces
    They're lost and don't know where to go
    He said I'll get the people straightened
    By putting on a puppet show

    The young New Mexican puppeteer
    He saw the people all lived in fear
    He thought that maybe they'd listen to
    A puppet telling them what to do

    You know he got some string and he got some wood
    He did some carving and he was good
    And folks came running so they could hear
    The young New Mexican puppeteer

    First he carved out young Abe Lincoln
    Abe will teach 'em civil rights
    Then a king named Martin Luther
    So they'd recall his peacefull fight

    Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
    Will surely show them life is fun
    But he smiled with satisfaction
    When the prince of peace was done

    The young New Mexican puppeteer
    He saw the people all lived in fear
    He thought that maybe they'd listen to
    A puppet telling them what to do

    You know he got some string and he got some wood
    He did some carving and he was good
    And folks came running so they could hear
    The young New Mexican puppeteer

    Now his puppet shows were clever
    And he made the people laugh
    When he got across the message
    To walk along lifes open path

    They built him his own puppet theatre
    Decked out with spotlights yellow and red
    And then they wrote him up in all the papers
    And this is what the story said

    It said...

    The young New Mexican puppeteer
    He saw the people all lived in fear
    He thought that maybe they would listen to
    A puppet telling them what to do

    You know he got some string and he got some wood
    He did some carving and he was good
    And folks came running so they could hear
    The young New Mexican puppeteer

    The Revenge Of Vera Gemini
    Composer(s): Albert Bouchard - Patti Smith
    Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult



    You're boned like a saint
    With the consciousness of a snake

    You're the kind of girl
    I'd like to find
    Face like an angel
    But you're boned like the devil

    Your eyes have shifted from me
    Everyone saw what you did
    You have slipped from beneath me
    Like a false and nervous squid

    Oh no more horses horses
    We're gonna swim like a fish
    Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
    My lovely Vera Marie

    You planned to leave me cold
    But you'll never get your wish
    On the 24th of May
    I'll gather up your reins

    You filled me with a vengeance
    And you touched me with your breath
    I'm gonna pull you from this dance
    You're gonna ride so easily

    Oh no more horses horses
    We're gonna swim like a fish
    Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
    My lovely Vera Marie

    I was your victim
    I was well deceived
    Hell's built on regret
    But I love your naked neck

    And evil lies that you told me
    Could make me believe your two-faced
    Because two faces have you
    And they're both gonna go

    Oh no more horses horses
    We're gonna swim like a fish
    Into the hole, in which you planned to ditch me
    My lovely Vera Gemini

    Claroscuro
    Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
    Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



    En continuo claroscuro
    se transcurre el pensamiento
    encerrado en cuatro muros
    de amenazas
    que no entiendo

    Claroscuro de penumbras
    que atormenta el pensamiento
    capturado por las dudas
    fustigado como un siervo
