And I saw the Kool and The Gang show
I always wanted
To fit into a band
To sing my songs
And become a bad piano playing man
So here I am
In this Hollywood city
The city of the stars
Movies, women and cars
Well I guess I
I guess I
Star

Hero (Charlotte Perrelli)
Hero
Composer(s): Fredrik Kempe - Bobby Ljunggren
First performance by: Charlotte Perrelli - 2008
Everything has a beginning
Everything comes to an end
Take it or leave it, you'd better believe it
Be my love or be my friend
Try to deny what you're feeling
And you'll know that your heart will say no
Love will last longer, growing stronger and stronger
If you stay and don't let go
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh... taking the fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
This is a story of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Heaven and earth keep colliding
But with love on a world of its own
Oh... there you can't fake it, just make it or break it
Only you can find the one
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh... taking the fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
This is a story of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive (Will survive)
Oh... survive (Will survive)
Heroes can live on their own
But heroes never die alone
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh... taking the fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
(This is a story of love and compassion)
Heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive

Hollywood Square Dance
Hollywood Square Dance
Composer(s): Charlie Hayes; Paul Weirick
In Hollywood the latest craze
Will make you want to dance for days
So, grab your partner, take a chance
Try the Hollywood Square Dance
For it's as easy as can be
You do it once and you will see
You square your shoulders, then advance
Try the Hollywood Square Dance
Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies, watch your little toesies
As you go 'round and 'round and 'round
Underneath the arches
Careful of your arches, ev'rybody marches
One, two, three, four, here we go
Now if at first you don't succeed
Just try again that's all you need
And soon you'll find your big romance
Doing the Hollywood Square Dance
Ring around the rosies
Alaman left with your left hand
Back to your partner, right and left grand
Pocket full of posies
Swing grandma across the hall
She ain't been swung since way last fall
Watch your little toesies
Chase that rabbit, chase that squirrel
Chase that purty girl 'round the world
As you go 'round and 'round and 'round

Stepsister's Lament
Stepsister's Lament
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Kenneth Williams
and multiple other artists
Why would a fellow want a girl like her?
A frail and fluffy beauty
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A solid girl like me?
She’s a frothy little bubble
With a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her
So obviously unusual
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A usual girl like me?
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink
But not any pinker than a rose is
Her skin may be delicate and soft
But not any softer than a doe’s is
Her neck is no whiter than a swan’s
She’s only as dainty as a daisy
She’s only as graceful as a bird
So why should the fellows go all crazy?
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her?
A girl who’s merely lovely
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A girl who’s merely me?
What’s the matter with the men?
What’s the matter with the men?
What’s the matter with the men?

We'll dance in the dark

We'll tango in Paris
Begin the beguine
Take it in turns

Shimmering sunsets

Far away places

Matinee moonlight
Far away places
Shimmering sunsets
and stargazers
Hollywood Romance
There's a place for you
....for you

Wolves Of The Sea
Composer(s): Torbjörn Wassenius - Claes Andreasson - Johan Sahlen - Jonas Liberg
First performance by: Pirates of the Sea - 2008
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Don't try to run, it's all set and done
There's a treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind
I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight
Just walk away, we will conquer it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Down to the core, we're coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold, a chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land
The hook of our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan, so what can you do?
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
If you cry out to storm
We pirates will stand tall
A skull and crossbone flag is closing in
To see you fall
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
We are wolves of the sea

Vitamin L
Vitamin L
Composer(s): Mary Kay Place
Performer(s): Mary Kay Place
When I was a kid
‘N’ livin’ at home
I took feelin’ fine for granted
Well, I didn’t know then
What I know now
Why Mama always raved ‘n’ ranted
She said, “Early to bed
‘N’ early to rise
Live the golden rule
‘N’ exercise
‘N’ most important of all”
She said with a grin
“Be sure you get your vitamins”
Vitamins A ‘n’ C ‘n’ D ‘n’ B
Well they keep you healthy ‘n’ well
But Mama didn’t tell me when I was a kid
All about Vitamin L
She sure forgot to tell me
When I was a kid
All about Vitamin L
Mama made me eat carrots
‘N’ hominy grits
Though I really felt disinclined
But she said they was packed with vitamin A
And if I didn’t that I’d go blind
She said, “Your skin’ll break out
‘N’ you’ll get beri beri
‘Less you eat all them black-eyed peas
‘Cause them and the greens
‘N’ the lima beans
They all got vitamin B
‘N’ you’ll get scurvy
‘Less you eat them prunes
‘Cause they got vitamin C
Well then, c’mon outside
‘N’ play in the sun
Or get rickets from no vitamin D”
Well, I did what she said
‘N’ I ate what she asked
‘N’ for a while I felt real swell
But I sure wish Mama
Had told me back then
All about Vitamin L
Yeah, I sure wish Mama
Had a mentioned to me
All about Vitamin L
Well, thanks to vitamins
‘N’ Mama’s advice
I grew to be healthy ‘n’ strong
Till a cowboy one night
That I loved at first sight
Well, he hurt me ‘n’ he done me wrong
Well, he loved me ‘n’ he left me
But he taught me the ropes
‘Specially ‘bout Vitamin L
‘Cause Vitamin L is a love, you see
And without it
Well, it’s hell
‘Cause of all the vitamins in your
Daily minimum requirement
Mm, Vitamin L’s the most
Important to you
‘Cause if you don’t get enough Vitamin L
Your heart’ll break a-right in two
I know vitamin C’s real good for a cold
Vitamin B if your lips should swell
But the only thing that cures
Them love sick blues
Is a shot o’ that Vitamin L
Well, I surely do need me
A big ole dose
Of that good ole Vitamin L

Steppin' Stones
Steppin' Stones
Composer(s): Kat Graham - J. Francis Keus
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
On the rocky road to love the goin' has been rough
I fall down but somehow I always got back up
I've climbed every mountain, crossed every valley too
I had a heart without a home but I kept on keepin' on
Lookin' for a love that would be true
But they were all just steppin' stones to you
Well, I have walked on mines when I should have read the signs
Sayin', 'Dead end, don't rush in' but I did every time
An' I started believin' that I was born to lose, oh, don't know
Oh, but those days are gone 'cause the love that you have shown
Has given me another point of view
Oh, but they were all just steppin' stones to you
Steppin' stones, I've stumbled over hearts 'til I found, solid ground
It's so clear, ain't it funny that it took a trail of tears to get me here
Now with no stone left unturned I have finally learned
There's a reason, things work out the way they do
Yeah, they were all just steppin' stones to you
I have no regrets for the paths I have walked
They all turned to sand now but you are my rock
Steppin' stones, I've stumbled over hearts 'til I found, solid ground
It's so clear but ain't it funny that it took a trail of tears to get me here
Now with no stone left unturned, I have finally learned
There's a reason, things work out the way they do
But they were all just steppin' stones to you
Steppin' stones, steppin' stones

Senhora Do Mar
Senhora Do Mar
First performance by: Vânia Fernandes - 2008
Senhora do mar
Ante vós, me tendes caída
Quem vem tirar meia da vida e da paz
Desta mesa, desta casa, perdidas?
Amor, qu'é de ti?
Senhora do mar
Ante vós, minha alma está vazia
Quem vem chamar a si o que é meu?
Ó mar alto, traz pr'a mim
Amor meu sem fim!
Ai, negras águas, ondas de mágoas
Gelaram-m'o fogo no olhar
Ele não torna a navegar!
E ninguém vos vê chorar
Senhora do mar!
Quem vem tirar meia da vida e da paz
Desta mesa, desta casa, perdidas?
Amor, qu'é de ti?
Ai, negras águas, ondas de mágoas
Gelaram-m'o fogo no olhar
Feridas em sal, rezas em vão...
Deixai seu coração
Bater junto a mim!
Ai, negras águas, ondas de mágoas
Gelaram-m'o fogo no olhar
Ele não torna a navegar!
E ninguém vos vê chorar
Senhora do mar!

Hollywood Nights
Hollywood Nights
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band;
and various other artists
She stood there bright as the sun
On that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
Up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
He'd headed west cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face
That would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night
Day after day
It went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

Steppin' Out With My Baby
Steppin' Out With My Baby
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
Here he comes lookin' for his baby
It's for sure, sure and not for maybe
Don't ask when will the lucky day be
Here he comes and let him tell you himself:
If I seem to scintillate
It's because I've got a date
A date with a package of
The good things that come with love
You don't have to ask me
I won't waste your time
But if you should ask me
Why I feel sublime
I'm
Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That I'm all dressed up tonight
Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good
Never felt quite so sunny
And I keep on knockin' wood
There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails
With a bright shine on my shoes and on my nails
(alternate line: In my top hat and my white tie and my tails)
Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight

Hollywood (Down On Your Luck)
Hollywood (Down On Your Luck)
Composer(s): Scott Gorham; Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy; Warrant
They say people out in Hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
They’re living out a technicolor dream
Next day they’re a star overnight
Not like living in New York
Man, it’s tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When you’re down on your luck
Everybody’s on the take
When you’re down on your luck
You can’t make a mistake
When you’re down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
Trying to make a pass
Not like in New York
It’s high rise, it’s concrete and complex
Not like in London town
It reigns down on it’s subjects
Nobody give a damn
When you’re down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you’re down on your luck
Lady chance, she won’t dance
When you’re down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in New York
All you’ve got is Broadway
Not like in the West End of London
You can’t make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When you’re down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you’re down on your luck
You’ve got to strut your stuff
When you’re down on your luck
You can’t take it easy, it ain’t good enough
When you’re down on your luck
Everybody’s on the make
When you’re down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you’re down on your luck
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
When you’re down on your luck
I’m ready for the dance
When you’re down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When you’re down on your luck

This Is My Life (Euroband)
This Is My Life
Composer(s): Örlygur Smári - Paul Oscar - Peter Fenner
First performance by: Euroband - 2008
I spent my days in vain just waiting
For happiness to come my way
I took for granted all they gave me
I opened my eyes, finally I realised
This is my life
I don't wanna change a thing
This is my life
All the pain, all the joy it brings
All through the years
Of blood, sweat and tears
Hopes and my fears
All that was meant to be
This is my life
What will be, will be
There's no denying all the heartaches
Mmm... were just a blessing in disguise
Oh, if I never made a single mistake
Oh, I wouldn't be here, part of the plan I believe
This is my life
I don't wanna change a thing
This is my life
All the pain, all the joy it brings
All through the years
Of blood, sweat and tears
Hopes and my fears
All that was meant to be
This is my life
What will be, will be
I've found the key to set myself free
You'll be amazed
'Cause I have the power to change my ways
This is my life
This is my life
I don't wanna change a thing
This is my life
All the pain, all the joy it brings
All through the years
Of blood, sweat and tears
Hopes and my fears
All that was meant to be
This is my life
What will be
This is my life

Hollywood
Composer(s): David McNeil
Performer(s): Yves Montand;
Julien Clerc; David McNeil
Sa mère dansait dans les bars imitant Jean Harlow
Son père lançait des poignards au cirque à Buffalo
Puis un jour on lui a dit "go west" et il a pédalé
De New-York à Los Angeles sur un vélo volé
Alors il a usé ses coudes à frotter les comptoirs
Avec une étoile d'Hollywood qui perdait la mémoire
Le long de Sunset Boulevard bras dessus, bras dessous
Ils perdaient leurs derniers dollars dans les machines à sous
Un jour Benjamin Chancard le cousin ou le frère
Du type qui joue du cithare à la cour d'Angleterre
A gagné aux dés le droit d'être son seul amant
Ils sont allés vivre à trois dans son appartement
Elle ramenait des voyageurs, des collégiens timides
Qui pouvaient faire deux dollars l'heure, quelques Polaroïd
Ses deux amants dans la cuisine pour ne pas qu'ils regardent
En deux mois ils jouaient tout Gershwin sur des verres à moutarde
Ils ont fait du music hall déguisés en Hindou
Elle dansait en Baby Doll sur Rapsodie in blue
Elle a fini sous le capot d'une Dodge ou Cadillac
Il a ramassé son chapeau et l'autre a pris son sac
Puis ils ont continué leur vie d'Hindou errant
Et puis il est retourné vivre chez ses parents
Sa mère devenue trop laide pour jouer Jean Harlow
Son père avait tué son aide au cirque à Buffalo

This Is My Life (Eartha Kitt)
This Is My Life
Composer(s): F. Hudon - Jacques Morall - B. Vilanch
Performer(s): Eartha Kitt
You, you can walk out the door
Thinking you won the war
But I'm not keeping score
Me, I am used to the game
Win or lose it's the same
Someone lost, what a shame
Stop thinking you are number one
You threw the dice and never won
You never had a chance with me, and that's not hard to see
Each time you played a trick on me
I gave in to you happily
Knowing I had the upper hand, so understand
This is my life, what can I do
I can do very well without you
Without your sneer, without your smile
Without your arms and your awful idea
This is my life, what can I do
I can do it alright without you
This is my life and mine alone
And if you leave, I can live on my own
This is my life, what can I do
This is my life, what can I do
I can do it alright, without you
This is my life and mine alone
And if you leave, I can live on my own
You, think you made a clean break
Left me for your own sake
So you won't feel it again
Me, I can watch you depart
With no piece of my heart
With no pain, just a smile
I'd love to say I told you so
But what's the use, you'll never know
How many times I tried in vain to keep away the pain
Start thinking you are in my past
The two of us could never last
This love of ours was not planned, so understand
This is my life, what can I do
I can do very well without you
Without your smiles, without your sneer
Without your arms and your awful idea
This is my life, what can I do
(This is my life, my life, what can I, can I do)
(This is my life, my life, what can I, can I do)
(This is my life, my life, what can I, can I do)
(This is my life, my life, what can I, can I do)

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Hollywood fica
Ali bem perto
Só não vê quem
Tem um olho aberto
Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Hollywood
É um sonho de cenário
Vi um pau-de-arara
Milionário
E eu que nem sonhava
Conhecer o tal Recife
Pobre saltimbanco
Trapalhão
Hoje sou mocinho
Sou vizinho do xerife
Dou rabo-de-arraia
Em tubarão
Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Tem de tudo
Nessa Hollywood
Vi um índio
Cheio de saúde
Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
How do you do
Caruaru
I wanna see
Piripipi
Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Camelôs, malucos
E engraxates
Aproveitem enquanto
O sonho é grátis
Quem há de negar
Que é bom dançar
Que a vida é bela
Neste fabuloso Xanadu
Eu só tenho medo
De amanhã cair da tela
E acordar
Em Nova Iguaçu
Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
How do you do
Banabuiú
I wanna buy
O Paraguai
Hollywood
And me
Ói nós aqui (vixe!)

No, I'm not upset, I'm not, lots of people get married
Please I'm in a hurry, won't you straighten my tie
I'll get by
She was something else, she was, now she's gonna get married
She's got herself carried off by somebody new
What can I do?
Don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Yes, I must admit we did, we looked so good together
Thought it would last forever but I'm a dreamer at heart
Dreams fall apart
Tell me where's my shoes, my groovy shoes
Enough about Diana, oh my sweet Diana
She's getting married today
Don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Oh my tender lips, they lied, they told me that she loved me
I'm just catching a cold, Ma
These aren't tears in my eyes
So don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
See, I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, Ma, I'm gonna boogie tonight
