It's A Jungle
It's A Jungle
Composer(s): Pope; Staples
Performer(s): Rough Trade
Competition's really tough
Square those shoulder pads
Curl those lips with the cruel slash of scarlet
Prowl the streets like a tigress
Hey sport it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle, it's a jungle out
It's a jungle, it's a jungle out
It's a jungle, it's a cat fight out there
Claw your way to the top
Drown 'em in clouds of cigarette smoke
Make 'em feel like dirt under your heel
Lure 'em with your animal magnetism

All You Wanna Do Is Dance
All You Wanna Do Is Dance
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
Oh, baby you don't get turned on by the radio
Oh, baby you got nothin' to play on your stereo
"Why don't the Beatles get back together?
Why don't nobody sing of romance?
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Oh, baby I think you are lost in the seventies
Oh, baby the music she ain't what she used to be
You don't understand what they're saying
Givin' it ev'ry chance
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Well, you wish you were back in the good old days
When tomatoes were cheaper
And you never heard the words of your favorite songs
Through a three inch speaker
And you never messed around with dangerous drugs
You were all getting sick on beer
And you didn't get any unless you went steady and made out for a year
You can hide away honey in your rock 'n' roll dreams
An' you can stand by your blue suede shoes
But the party is over and I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Oh, baby where are the oldies they used to play
Oh, baby you want to crawl back into yesterday
You don't want to deal with the future
You don't want to make any plans
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance

It's A Heartache
It's A Heartache
Composer(s): Ronnie Scott; Steven Wolfe
First release by: Bonnie Tyler - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1978 - Notti Bianche
2004 - Si Tout S'arrête
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Love until your arms break, then he lets you down
It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown

Love Me, Love Me, Love
Love Me, Love Me, Love
Composer(s): Frank Mills
Performer(s): Frank Mills
Standing on the corner
Passing the time away
I thought I heard the organ grinder
Singing as he played
He had a little monkey
With a little cup of tim
And he dance for joy
When someone put a penny in
He sang, love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you go away?
And if you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever go?
I couldn't help but wonder
How the old man got his song
What a tragic tale of loneliness
How fate had done him wrong
What ever made the old man
Wanna brave the cold and rains
And tell the world his story
Till death could ease the pain
He sang, love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you go away?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever go?
I went back to the corner
To hear the organ play
A policeman said the old man
Died one cold November day
I waited for a minute
They sadly walked away
Though I coundn't see the old man
I'm sure I heard him sing
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you go away?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever leave me, girl?
If you love me, love me, love
Why did you ever go?

Si Tout S'arrête
Si Tout S'arrête
(Adapted from: It's A Heartache - 1977)
(Italian Version: Notti Bianche - 1978)
Composer(s): Ronnie Scott; Steven Wolfe; Kareen Antonn; Emmanuel Pribys
Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler & Kareen Antonn - 2004
Si tout s'arrête, si pour vous tout s'arrête
Dis lui que je suis prête
Que je ne l'attend pas
Même si tu l'aimes, même si vraiment tu l'aimes
Partir où il m'entraine
Ne m'interesse pas
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Love him, 'till your heart breaks
Then he lets you down
À trop vouloir tout partager
On finit par s'éloigner
De tout
Il est plus sage qu'on abandonne
Qu'au bout du compte je lui pardonne
Tout
Si tout s'arrête, si pour vous tout s'arrête
Dis lui que je suis prête
Que je ne l'attend pas
Même si je l'aime, même si pourtant je l'aime
Partir où il t'entraine
Ne suffira pas
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care
For you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Si tout s'arrête, si pour vous tout s'arrête
Dis lui que je suis prête
Que je ne l'attend pas

It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go
It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith
Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
and multiple other artists
I am a backseat driver from America
They drive to the left on Falls Road
The man at the wheel's name is Seamus
We pass a child on the corner he knows
And Seamus says,'Now, what chance has that kid got?'
And I say from the back,'I don't know'
He says,'There's barbed wire at all of these exits
And there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go'
It's a hard life
It's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know
And there ain't no place in (Belfast/Chicago/this world) for these kids to go
A cafeteria line in Chicago
The fat man in front of me
Is calling black people trash to his children
He's the only trash here I see
And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when his children should sleep
But, they slip to their window and they see him
And they think that white hood's all they need
It's a hard life
It's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know
And there ain't no place in (Belfast/Chicago/this world) for these kids to go
I was a child in the sixties
Dreams could be held through TV
With Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther
Oh, I believed, I believed, I believed
Now, I am a backstreet driver from America
I am not at the wheel of control
I am guilty, I am war I am the root of all evil
Lord, and I can't drive on the left side of the road
It's a hard life
It's a hard life
It's a very hard life
It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know
And there ain't no place in (Belfast/Chicago/this world) for these kids to go

Love Me A Little Little
Composer(s): Horace Holmes - Eilen Orr - Howard Smith
Performer(s): Lynn Gardner; Lena Horne
Love me a little little
Only a little little
That's all I'm askin' you to do
Love me a little little
Only a little little
You know I'm crazy over you
While I live, I'll never give you up, I swear
I'll hang around you and I'll hound you
Till I make you care
One, little little little
Two, little little little
Three little words I want to hear
From the one and only one that I adore
And every day, I'll return
And sing this ditty until you learn
To love me a little little
Just a little little
Just a little bit more

It's A Hard Life
It's A Hard Life
Composer(s): Freddie Mercury
Performer(s): Queen
and multiple other artists
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

Love Makes You Feel
Love Makes You Feel
Composer(s): Lou Reid
Performer(s): Lou Reid
Life isn't what is seems, I'm forever
drifting into dreams
Such a sad affair, to always be drifting into air
But it's not what you say or you do
that makes me feel like I am falling
It's things that we've both been through
that makes me feel like I am upside down
And love makes you feel ten foot tall
Yes, love makes you feel ten foot tall
Just a funny thing, I'm forever drifting into dreams
Just not the proper thing, to always be drifting into dreams
But it's not what you say or you do
that makes me feel like I am falling
It's things that we've both been through
that makes me feel like I am upside down
And love makes you feel ten foot tall
Yes, love makes you feel ten foot tall
And it sounds like this

It's A Great Day To Be Alive
It's A Great Day To Be Alive
Composer(s): Darrell Scott
Performer(s): Travis Tritt
and multiple other artists
I got rice cooking in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
Hey, I'm doing alright
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink nor drug induced
No, I'm just doin' alright
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?
It's been fifteen years since I left home
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Give it my best and then I left it alone
Oh I hope they're doin' alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A lone wolf there starin' back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord, I guess he's doin' alright
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?
Sometimes its lonely
Sometimes its only me and
The shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I'm fallin', desperately callin'
Howlin' at the moon
Well I might go get me a new tatoo or
Take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a fu man chu
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

The Chanukah Song
The Chanukah Song
Composer(s): Ian Maxtone-Graham; L. Morton; Adam Sandler
Performer(s): Adam Sandler; Neil Diamond
Part 1
This is a song, that uh, there's a lot of Christmas songs out there
but not too many about Hanukkah
So I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids
who dont get to hear any Hanukkah songs
Here we go.....
Put on your yalmulka, here comes Hanukkah
It's so much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Heres a list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorrah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the Karnickey Deli
Bowzer from Sha-na-na, and Arthur Fonzerrelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew!
You dont need Deck the Halls or Jingle Bell Rock
Cause you can spin the dreidl with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, both Jewish!
Put on your yalmulka, its time for Hanukkah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonic-ahs celebrates Hanukkah
O.J. Simpson, not a Jew!
But guess who is, Hall of Famer Rod Carew, he converted!
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish, not too shabby!
Some people think that Ebeneezer Scrooge is
Well, he's not, but guess who is, all three stooges
So many Jews are in show biz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is
Tell your friend Veronica, it's time you celebrate Hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely Hanukkah
So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, and smoke your marajuanic-ah
If you really, really wanna-kah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah
----------
Part 2
Time to take out those menorahs!
Put on your yalmulka, it's time for Hanukkah
So much fun-uka to celebrate Hanukkah
Hanukkah is, the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we get eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a new list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
Winona Ryder drinks Manashevits' wine
Then spins a dredl with Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein
Guess who give and receives loads of Hanukkah toys?
The girls from Barukasouhl and all three Beastie Boys
Lenny Kravitz is half Jewish, Courtney Love is half too
Put them together, what a funky, bad-ass Jew
We got Harvey Keitel and flashdancer Jennifer Beals
Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch is Jewish and yes, her boobs are real
O.J. Simpson, still not a Jew
But guess who is, the guy who does the voice for Scooby-Doo
Bob Dylan was born a Jew, then he wasn't, but now he's back
Mary Tyler Moore's husband is Jewish 'cuz we're pretty good in the sack
Guess who got bar mitzvah-ed on the PGA tour?
No, I'm not talking about Tiger Woods, I'm talking about Mister Happy Gilmore
So many Jews are in the show-biz
Bruce Springsteen isn't Jewish, but my Mother thinks he is
Tell that old harmonica, it's time to celebrate Hanukkah
It's not pronounced Chanukkah, the C is silent in Hanukkah
So your your Hooked on Phonic-a, get drunk in Teawonica
If you really really wanna-kah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah

It's A Grand Night For Singing
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): William Marshall (Marty), Dick Haymes (Wayne),
Jeanne Crain (Margie), Dana Andrews (Pat)
Marty:
It's a grand night for singing
The moon is flying high
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky!
It's a grand night for singing
The stars are bright above
The earth is a-glow
And to add to the show
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love
It's a grand night for singing
The moon is flying high
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he’ll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky!
Wayne:
Maybe it's more than the moon
Maybe it's more than the birds
Maybe it's more than sight of the night
In a light too lovely for words
Maybe it's more than the earth
Shiny in silvery blue
Maybe the reason I'm feeling this way
Has something to do with you!
It's a grand night for singing
The moon is flying high
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky!
It's a grand night for singing
The stars are bright above
The earth is a-glow
And, to add to the show
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love!
Margie and Pat:
It's a grand night for singing
The moon is flying high
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky!
Wayne:
It's a grand night for singing
The stars are bright above
The earth is a-glow
And, to add to the show
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love!

The Losing End (When You're On)
The Losing End (When You're On)
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1969
I went into town to see you yesterday
But you were not home
So I talked to some old friends for a while
Before I wandered off alone
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again
Well, I miss you more than ever
Since you've gone, I can hardly maintain
Things are different round here every night
My tears fall down like rain
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same
Won't you ever change your ways
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again

Covered by multiple other artists
Yes, it's a good day for singing a song
and it's a good day for moving alone
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong
A good day from morning' till night
Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes
and it's a good day for losing the blues
Everything go gain and nothing' to lose
`Cause it's a good day from morning' till night
I said to the Sun, "Good morning sun
Rise and shine today"
You know you've gotta get going
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way
`Cause it's a good day for paying your bills
And it's a good day for curing your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills
`Cause it's a good day from morning' till night

Losers And Winners
Losers And Winners
Composer(s): Accept - Deaffy - Peter Baltes - Stefan Kaufmann - Udo Dirkschneider - Wolf Hoffmann
Performer(s): Accept
You told me that you like her, but she doesn`t wanna know
You tried so much to take her, bur there`s no way to go
I know that kind of feeling, knocking on someone`s door
I know the endless crying when you don`t know what you`re living for
Write a letter (What`s the matter?)
You`ll find better (Write a letter)
You`ll feel better when it`s done
There`s one way to show what you feel for the girl
Write her a loveley letter, tell her what you`re looking for
Don`t think it`s old fashion to take one`s heard (when it`s true)
You gotta take it as a man when you can`t win her in this game
Write a letter ...
There are losers and winners, just like you and me
You should give me the letter; I`ll use it for my own
Maybe she wants to take me before she stays alone
Could be my destination to pick up broken hearts
Why don`t you take it easy and screw the girls who`s next to you
Write a letter ...

It's A Game
It's A Game
Composer(s): Chris Adams
Performer(s): Bay City Rollers
The clown came down to meet me
With a smile upon his face
He fired his starting pistol
And began the human race
There were faces all around me
They were running everywhere
But everywhere is nowhere
And nowhere isn't there
It's a game, a game, a game that we're playing
Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules
It's a game, a game, a game that we're playing
Just a game for lovers and fools
There's snakes upon your ladder
And there's dice upon your skirt
There's lipstick on my collar
And there's sweat upon my shirt
The neighbours will start talking
But you know that I don't care
For the neighbours they are nowhere
And nowhere isn't there
It's a game, a game, a game that we're playing ...

Burning Out Again (A Kind Of Christmas Card)
Burning Out Again (A Kind Of Christmas Card)
Composer(s): Morten Harket; H. Rem
Performer(s): Morten Harket
All you folks back home
I'll never tell you this
You're not supposed to know
where your daughter is
There are ways of life
you never understood
it's right here
downtown Hllywood
it's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard
I've got a stolen moment trying hard
to write a kind of christmas card
but I am burning out again
tonight there is fever in my veins
mama, dear
all the love you gave
I guess there's really nothing
nothing much to save
this place is as dirty as I feel myself
there are still some riches
at the Roosevelt
that evening prayer
those memories
in my little bedroom, mama, on my knees
that's where I'm at
down in Los Angeles
And I am burning out again
and I must rise above the shame
tonigh there is fever in my veins
just think of the girl I used to be
you were my age once, mama
twenty-three
I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
from that summer of love in '68
seems it's turned into a winter of hate
and I am burning out again
