Talk To Ya Later Composer(s): David Foster - Steve Lukather - The Tubes Performer(s): The Tubes
I met her on a strip It was another lost weekend The band was too slick And the people were twisted
So I asked her for a date She reluctantly agreed Then we went to my place And she never did leave
She wont even miss me when shes gone And thats okay with me Ill cry later on
Its been six months She hasnt shut up once Ive tried to explain Shes driving me insane
She wont even miss me when shes gone And thats okay with me Ill cry later on
Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight Talk to ya laterjust save it for another guy Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight Ill just see you around
Get out Im telling you now Do you catch my drift What could be plainer than this
Nothin more to be said Write me a letter instead I dont mean to be cruel But Im finished with you
She wont even miss me when shes gone Thats okay with me Ill cry later on
Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight Talk to ya laterjust save it for another guy Talk to ya laterdont want to hear it again tonight Ill just see you around
Mr. Gallagher And Mr. Shean Composer(s): Ed Gallagher; Al Shean Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Johnny Mercer and various other artists
(JM) Oh Mr. Crosby, (Yeah) Oh Mr. Crosby (Ask me son) All the orchestras are swinging it today And I wanted to find out what the noise is all about Do you really think that swing is here to stay
(BC) Now Im glad you asked me Now Mr. Mercer (Yeah) oh Mr. Mercer (Im listening) Swing is really much too ancient to condemn (You dont say) In the jungles they would play in that same abandoned way
(JM) On the level Mr. Crosby
(BC) No, on the down beat Mr. M.
(JM) Oh Mr. Crosby, (uh huh) now Mr. Crosby (So happy to oblige) Ive been reading in the latest magazine (Yes) That a jiving jitterbug blows his top and cuts a rug Will you tell me what that language really means
(BC) Ohhh Mr. Mercer (Yeah,Yeah) Oh-ho-ho Mr. Mercer (Tell me, tell me tell me) As a student of the slang they use pro tem (Pro what?) That just means a solid gait cuts a murderisitc plate
(JM) Thats amazing Mr. Crosby
(BC) Thats elementary Mr. M.
(JM) Oh Mr. Crosby, dear Doctor Crosby Is it true that swings another name for jazz And the first place it was played Was a New Orleans parade And the southern Negro gave it all it had
(BC) Ohhh! Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer I believe that its foundation came from them (Are you positive?) Yes they just slowed the tempo down, And then they really went to town
(JM) Allegretto Mr. Crosby?
(BC) Alligators Mr. M
(BC) Ohhh! Mr. Mercer, (Yeah) Mr. Mercer (uh huh) Well I trust that I have made the matter clear (Its really too clear) So if someone plays a thing Youre gonna understand the swing And appreciate the rhythm that you hear
(JM) Ohh Mr. Crosby (Oh hear me talking to you) No Mr. Crosby, Im afraid that type of rhythms not for me I prefer my music played A La Schubert Serenade
Gli Zingari ((Dutch, English, & French Versions: De Zigeuners (Corry Brokken); The Gipsies (Dalida); Les Gitans (Dalida)) Composer(s): Pierre Cour - Hubert Giraud - Chiozzo Performer(s): Dalida
Zingaro chi sei Figlio di Bohemia Dimmi tu perchè Sei venuto qui Quando mi stancai Dell'Andalusia E tu vecchio dimmi come fu La mia terra ormai non esiste più
I cavalli son stanchi nell'umida sera Ma la folta criniera Sembra il vento invocar Stan gli zingari attorno alle fiamme splendenti Destan ombre giganti Nel chiarore lunar
Palpita allor la canzon più bizzarra Nasce nel cuor quel vibrar di chitarra
Questo è il canto di chi non conosce frontiera E l'ardente preghiera del gitano che và
Dimmi deve vai Tornero in Bohemia Me ne andro lontan Per mai più tornar E tu dove vai Nell'Andalusia E tu perchè piangi cosi Io son vecchio ormai e rimango qui
O gitano perchè non rimani stasera Per la nuova avventura puoi domani partir Resta ancora a cantar nella notte stellata Finchè l'alba spietata Faccia il sogno svanir Canta che un di il gran re di Cuccagna Ti regalo un castello in lspagna
Questo è il canto di chi non conosce frontiera E l'ardente preghiera Del gitano che và
Talk To The Animals Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse First performance by: Rex Harrison & Ginny Tyler - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
... [missing] thinks what do you means I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah What a neat achievement it would be!
If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages Maybe take an animal degree I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig, and flea!
I would converse in polar bear, python And I would curse in fluent kangaroo If people ask me "can you speak rhinocerous?" I'd say "of courserous! Can't you?"
I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal Think of the amazing repartee If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could talk to me!
If I consulted with quadrupeds Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea! Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions What a lovely place the world would be!
If I spoke slang to orangutans The advantages any fool on earth could plainly see! Discussing Eastern art and dramas With intellectual llamas That's a big step forward you'll agree!
I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle My Pekinese would be extremely good If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus I'd say "whynotamous?" and (I) would!
If I could parlay with pachyderms It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm A man who walks with the animals, talks with the animals Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals All an easy just think of it and they could talk to me!

That man [my, my!] Can really jump it for a fat man [fat man!] Boys, the trouble is there's no way of knowin' Whether he's comin' or ... or goin'

Gli Inesorabili
((French Version: La Joie D'aimer (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin
Performer(s): Dalida
Inesorabile come il destino Inesorabile come sei tu E' il nostro amor più dolce del suono Di queste note che ascolti con me Ed anche a quelli che senza perdono Il mondo danna ad un cupo dolor La vita sempre riserba in dono Lacarità d'un po d'amor
Altro del creato Fuor dell'amore non c'è Quello che ho sognato Rivive con te per te Ci chiude il cielo il suo cuore di stelle Che pare intriso di lacrime d'or Ci parlan tutte le cose più belle Dicendo amor, soltanto amor
Ci parlan tutte le cose piu belle Dicendo amor, soltanto amor Dicendo amor, soltanto amor
Talk To Me Of Mendocino Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle - Anna McGarrigle First release by: Kate & Anna McGarrigle - 1975
I bid farewell to the state of old New York My home away from home In the state of New York I came of age When first I started roaming And the trees grow high in New York State And they shine like gold in the autumn Never had the blues from whence I came But in New York State I got 'em
Talk to me of Mendocino Closing my eyes I hear the sea Must I wait Must I follow Won't you say come with me
And it's on to South Bend, Indiana Flat out on the western plain Rise up over the Rockies And down on into California Out to where but the rocks again And let the sun set on the ocean I will watch it from the shore Let the sun rise over the redwoods I'll rise with it till I rise no more
Talk to me of Mendocino Closing my eyes I hear the sea Must I wait Must I follow Won't you say come with me
Gli Amici Miei Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
In questa storia che diventa tempo in questo tempo che diventa amore ho conosciuto ragazze ridenti fuggenti nel giro di poche ore e con due ali di cera mi sono permesso di andare a toccare il sole qualche sorriso di madre fa crescere in fretta fa bene alla pelle e al cuore che è tutto da dimostrare ho ereditato la terra che aveva mio padre ovvero le sue parole e guardo l'alba che insegue il tramonto che insegue la notte per far l'amore e sento te che mi riempi la stanza e la vita ché niente può farmi male e penso Dove saranno gli amici miei quelli del tempo che c'era lei? come vorrei... cosa darei... dove saranno gli amici miei?
amore, amore, tienimi forte la mano e aiutami a ricordare io sono un piccolo uomo sotto un piccolo vetro che non si può più spezzare vorrei mandare in frantumi memoria, pensieri, almeno per un saluto e avere ancora vent'anni, ancora tutto da dire per un minuto
E chiudo gli occhi più forte del tempo però tu non mi lasciare e all'improvviso li vedo lontani, vicini gli stessi di mille sere e sento tutte le voci la dolce, l'acuta, la tenue la disperata e devo chiedere scusa a qualcuno ricordo... ma forse è una puttanata stasera
Tornano tutti gli amici miei forse non sono partiti mai erano qui dentro di me e non l'avevo capito mai tornano tutti gli amici miei noi non ci siamo lasciati mai e sono qui dentro di me tornano tutti gli amici miei

Gli Altri Siamo Noi English Title: We Are All The Same Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi
Non sono stato mai più solo di così è notte ma vorrei che fosse presto lunedì con gli altri insieme a me per fare la città con gli altri chiusi in se che si aprono al sole come fiori quando si risvegliano, si rivestono quando escono, partono, arrivano ci somigliano, angeli avvoltoi come specchi gli occhi nei volti perché gli altri siamo noi
I muri vanno giù al soffio di un'idea Allah come Gesù in chiesa o dentro una moschea e gli altri siamo noi, ma qui sulla stessa via vigliaccamente eroi, lasciamo indietro i pezzi di altri noi che ci aspettano e si chiedono perché nascono e subito muoiono forse rondini, foglie d'Africa, ci sorridono di malinconia tutti vittime di carnefici tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi Quando cantano, quando cadono, gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi Quando nascono, quando muoiono, gli altri siamo noi Gli altri siamo noi Noi che stiamo in comodi deserti di appartamenti e di tranquillità lontani dagli altri, ma tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo piccolo oramai gli altri siamo noi
Si gli altri siamo noi fra gli Indios e gli Indù ragazzi in farmacia che ormai non ce la fanno più famiglie di operai licenziati dai robot e zingari dell'est in villette di periferia siamo tutti vittime dei carnefici tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi Quando sparano, quando sperano, gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo piccolo oramai gli altri siamo noi In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi

Slow down, you move too fast You got to make the morning last Just kicking down the cobble stones Looking for fun and feelin' groovy
Hello lamppost What cha knowing? I've come to watch your flowers growing Ain't cha got no rhymes for me? Doot-in' doo-doo Feelin' groovy

Mr. Dieingly Sad Composer(s): Don Ciccone; The Critters Performer(s): The Critters; Lou Christie; Albert Garcia
Just a breeze will muss your hair But you smile away each little care And if the rain should make you blue You say tomorrow is anew Blue be your eyes, blonde your hair You realize beyond a care Life's in a hurry, but You've got no worry, you're So mystifyingly glad I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad
And when the leaves begin to fall Answering old winter's call I feel my tears, they fall like rain Weeping forth the sad refrain Blue, dark, and dim it may seem You mark a grin, a moonbeam Brightens your smile, pray tell me How all the while you can be So mystifyingly glad I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad
You say "take my hand and walk with me Wake this land and stop the sea Show me love, unlock All doors I'm yours"
Then the tide rolls up to shore I whisper low, "I love you more More than even you could know" Adore me do so I could show
