The Attack Of The Giant Ants
Composer(s): Chris Stein
First release by: Blondie - 1976
Giant ants from space snuff the human race
Then they eat your face, never leave a trace
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
They shoot fire all around
Tokyo burns down
Everybody drowns
The moon falls on the ground
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
They can't be stopped at all
The buildings start to fall
Soldiers shoot all day and then they run away
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
The world is holocaust
Everything is lost
Mankind is destroyed
Sprinkled in the void
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
Giant ants from space waste the human race
Then they eat your face, never leave a trace
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
Don Carlos
Composer(s): Jaime Roos - Raúl Castro
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
Milagro taura del tiempo que no te aplicó sentencia Sos inventor de la ciencia de mantenerse primero Por tu don arrabalero de jugar sin la pelota Sos trompa de una patota que le afanó el alma al barrio Estás en el calendario y en cada vuelta de copas
Goleador de los descuentos, lágrima de las pesadas Silbido por la bajada que un curda regala al viento Yo te he dado el manyamiento cuando el cielo relojeo Viviendo en un bulín reo con el chaperío de aire Sito allá por Buenos Aires esquina Montevideo
Don Carlos y niente piú, qué zorzal ni qué ocho cuartos Ligador en el reparto de la eterna juventud Como el flaco allá en la cruz perdonaste a la gilada Con tu sonrisa pintada en un bondi trasnochado Si hasta te baten "El Mago" por tu gola engalerada
Troesma de los botijas que junan como es la historia Tu mirada es divisoria entre trucho y postalina Sos la cara pensativa de una nami sin un viaje El símbolo de coraje de una pechera a lo macho Sos el ala de ese gacho que nunca se tomó el raje
Qué más te voy a batir que ya no hayas escuchado Si viene mal barajado este fato de vivir Paciencia y hacerse hervir, habrá que curtirla fiero Este oriental milonguero se lo repite a quien quiera Siempre queda gente afuera cuando canta mi jilguero
Don Carlos les dio mancada, manga de giles de goma Que la papa se la coman y que aguanten la tacada De Pompeya a La Blanqueada sigue copando tu amor A los ratis del dolor empaquetaste debute Don Carlos Gardel salute, por invicto y por mejor
Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman Composer(s): Bill Spooner - Fee Waybill - Michael Cotten - Prairie Prince - Rick Anderson - Roger Steen - Vince Welnick Performer(s): The Tubes
It was a normal date with my girlfriend Sue Blonde hair, blue eyes and five foot two The night was cold, the stars were bright From over her shoulder came a strange light We parked the car down at 3 mile point The top was down, we were really going I heard her cry, the reactor flared She grew and grew, I freaked and stared
Attack of the fifty foot woman Our love was at an end All she did to get her kicks Was step on all the men
I had to run just to save my skin She scooped me up, I could not win My God! I screamed to my distress Got a fifty foot woman in a five foot dress
Attack of the fifty foot woman Our love was at an end All she did to get her kicks Was step on all the men
The National Guard couldn't shoot her down Before she left she really trashed our town She left me there though I tried and tried A fifty foot woman's never satisfied
Attack of the fifty foot woman Our love was at an end All she did to get her kicks Was step on all the men
Dommage, Dommage
Performer(s): Paul Vance & Lee Pockriss
"Dommage, Dommage
Our love was once exciting
Now it's just a game we play
Too bad, too bad
But nothing lasts forever
All at once we lost our way...
Hello, goodbye
And suddenly it's over
And there's nothing we can do...
Dommage, Dommage
Too bad we couldn't make our dreams come true...
Hello, goodbye
And suddenly it's over
And there's nothing we can do...
Dommage, Dommage
Too bad we couldn't make our dreams come true
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
La di, da di, la di da da...."

Atrás Da Porta Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Francis Hime Performer(s): Elis Regina and multiple other artists
Quando olhaste bem nos olhos meus E o teu olhar era de adeus Juro que não acreditei Eu te estranhei Me debrucei sobre teu corpo e duvidei E me arrastei e te arranhei E me agarrei nos teus cabelos No teu peito Teu pijama Nos teus pés Ao pé da cama Sem carinho, sem coberta No tapete atrás da porta Reclamei baixinho
Dei pra maldizer o nosso lar Pra sujar teu nome, te humilhar E me entregar a qualquer preço Te adorando pelo avesso Pra mostrar que ainda sou tua Só pra provar que inda sou tua ...

Domino, Domino, you're an angel that heaven has sent me Domino, Domino, you're a devil designed to torment me When your heart must know that I love you so Tell me why, tell me why, why do you make me cry, Domino
Domino, Domino, won't you tell me you'll never desert me? Domino, Domino, if you stay I don't care how you hurt me Fate has made you so, you can't change, I know You can't change, though you try, but then neither can I, Domino
Just one look in your eyes and I melt with desire Just a touch of your hands and I burst into fire And my whole world fills with music when I'm lost in your embrace
But I know that you're fickle and I'm not misled Each attractive new face that you see turns your head And it scares me that tomorrow, someone else may take my place
Domino, Domino, you're an angel that heaven has sent me Domino, Domino, you're a devil designed to torment me When your heart must know that I love you so Tell me why, tell me why, why do you make me cry, Domino

Atlantis ((Italian Version: Atlantis (by Augusto Righetti) - 1969)) Composer(s): Donovan First release by: Donovan - 1968
The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean So great an area of land, that from her western shores those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease in their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the God's who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth On board were the Twelve The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist The magician and the other so-called God's of our legends Though God's they were And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be (5x) My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah I want to see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah My antediluvian baby, My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl Girl, I want to see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah I want to see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby, I want to see you My antediluvian baby, got to tell me where she gone I want to see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah Oh glub glub, down down, yeah My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Le printemps chante en moi, Dominique Le soleil s'est fait beau J'ai le cur comme un' boite à musique J'ai besoin de toi De tes mains sur moi De ton corps doux et chaud J'ai envie d'être aimée Domino Méfie-toi, mon amour, je t'ai trop pardonné J'ai perdu plus de nuits que tu m'en as données Bien plus d'heures A attendre, qu'à te prendre sur mon cur Il se peut qu'à mon tour je te fasse du mal Tu m'en as fait toi-même et ça t'est bien égal Tu t'amuses de mes peines, et je m'use de t'aimer
Domino Domino Le printemps chante en moi, Dominique Le soleil s'est fait beau J'ai le cur comme un' boite à musique J'ai besoin de toi De tes mains sur moi De ton corps doux et chaud J'ai envie d'être aimée Domino Il est une pensée que je ne souffre pas C'est qu'on puisse me prendre ma place en tes bras Je supporte bien des choses, mais à force c'en est trop... Et qu'une autre ait l'idée de me voler mon bien Je ne donne pas cher de ses jours et des tiens Je regarde qui t'entoure prends bien garde mon amour
Domino Domino J'ai bien tort de me mettre en colère Avec toi, Domino Je sais trop qu'il n'y a rien à faire T'as le cur léger Tu ne peux changer Mais je t'aime, que veux-tu? Je ne peux pas changer, moi non plus Domino, Domino Je pardonne toujours, mais reviens Domino, Domino Et je ne te dirai plus rien

Hey, and I don't mind losing time 'cause I'm still in love with you Yes I'm still in love with you
I could sail away tomorrow If I ever wanted to But I don't mind wasting time 'cause I'm still in love with ... Yes I'm still in love with ... 'cause I'm still in love with you
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
A l'époque où Jean Sans Terre
D'Angleterre était roi
Dominique, notre Père
Combattit les Albigeois
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Certain jour un hérétique
Par des ronces le conduit
Mais notre Père Dominique
Par sa joie le convertit
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Ni chameau, ni diligence
Il parcourt l'Europe à pied
Scandinavie ou Provence
Dans la sainte pauvreté
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Enflamma de toute écoles
Filles et garçons pleins d'ardeur
Et pour semer la Parole
Inventa les Frères Prêcheurs
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Chez Dominique et Ses Frères
Le pain s'en vint à manquer
Et deux anges se présentèrent
Portant deux grands pains dorés
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Dominique vit en rêve
Les prêcheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge
En grand nombre rassemblés
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Dominique, mon bon Père
Garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer à nos frères
La Vie et La Vérité
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Atlantic City Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night Now they blew up his house too Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state And the D.A. can't get no relief Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away But I got debts that no honest man can pay So I drew what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold But with you forever I'll stay We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold So put on your stockin's baby `cause the night's getting cold And everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find Down here it's just winners and losers And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your hair up nice and set up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City Meet me tonight in Atlantic City Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland
Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland
Fighting sin like anything
Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer
Made him hear the good Lord's call
Without horse or fancy wagon
He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion
As he walked from town to town
To bring back the straying liars
And the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars
Heaven's soldier's, brave and bold
One day, in the budding Order
There was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a loaf of bread and meat
Dominique once, in his slumber
Saw the Virgin's coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number
Preaching all around the world
Grant us now, oh Dominique
The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth
