Phone's busy!
We're dizzy!

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 (Yves Montand)
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)

Hollywood
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
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

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

Hollyann
Performer(s): Boston
In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decay
So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say
Oooh, the nights you came to me
A bluejean lady so eager to be free
And the wind in your long hair blowin’ as we stood for the band
Oh, Hollyann
Hollyann
We made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it
Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line light
Can you believe it?
Hollyann
Hollyann
We could live
Just to turn the world into our fantasy
And we could give
Aquarius was really meant to be
You and I we were there to see the dawn
Side by side we had love to carry on
And I still hear guitars in the air as we sat in the sand
Oh, Hollyann
Hollyann
We made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it
Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line `/light
Can you believe it?

For Life
Composer(s): Isis Gee
First performance by: Isis Gee - 2008
I had no choice, perfectly clear from the start
I heard your voice and I was falling
Into a space where daylight kisses moonlit skies
It was the place as written in your eyes
And oh... we made it, we finally found our way
And celebrating just where we, we stand today
I'll let my heart show the way
Oceans and mountains between us
Because your love is why
You made the wrong right
I will give my all
I will heed your call for life
I had no choice, perfectly clear from the start
I will rejoice, embrace your calling
And into a space where daylight breathes within your heart
You found my heart and I knew it was for life
Oh...
I'll let my heart show the way
Oceans and mountains between us
Because your love is why
You made the wrong right
I will give my all for life
Ooh yeah... for life

Steppin' Out
Composer(s): Paul Revere - Mark Lindsay
Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders
Well, I had to leave town because of Uncle Sam's deal, ha ha ha yeah
Well, I guess my good lovin' done lost its appeal
Because when I called back I heard a-bad bad news
They say our big romance has been gettin' abuse
Now tell the truth, don't lie to me
Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me?
I've got ways of findin' out if you've been steppin' out on me
It's my turn, let me give you a piece of my mind
I told you once, I told you twice
You're kind of rowdy after walkin' on ice
Turn your loop in, do what I want you to do
Stop your messin' now or I'm gonna step out on you
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey!
If I can't be your one & only man
I'm gonna call your daddy to give him back your hand
I'm gonna call the preacher, tell the choir stay home
I guess you're the kind of woman that's just 'bout to roam
Now tell me true, don't lie to me
Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me?
Tell the truth, child; you've been steppin' out on me
I gotta know in my heart if you've been steppin' out on me
I'll be checkin' with all your friends if you've been steppin' out on me
Better tell me the truth honey; have you been steppin' out on me?
Yeah I'm gonna check; no more stuff or I'll be steppin' out on you ...

Holiday In Waikiki
Holiday In Waikiki
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
I won a competition in a little column in my local paper
So I packed my bags and flew across the sea
all on my local paper
I sailed to Hawaii in the U.S.A.
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases
Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas
And even when I'm swimming I have to pay
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
Oh yeah, yeah
Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty
I asked her where she came from and she said to me
"I come from New York City
And my mother is Italian
And my dad's a Greek"
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola
And in a little shack they had a little sign that said Coca Cola
And even all the grass skirts were PVC
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
Oh yeah, yeah
In Waikiki

Missä Miehet Ratsastaa
Missä Miehet Ratsastaa
First performance by: Teräsbetoni - 2008
Huh – hah – huh – hah
Huh – hah – huh – hah
Olkoon myrsky sekä viima
ja tuvassa lämmin kamiina
On kunnia ja miehuullisuus
suorittaa velvollisuus
Maailma on kylmä vaikka
on ehkä lämmölläkin paikka
Kentät kutsuu sankareita
eikä suinkaan pelkureita
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa
Huh – hah – huh – hah
Olkoon edessä tuhoa
ja takana lemmen lumoa
On miehellä velvollisuus
muistaa urhoollisuus
Ei kukaan voi välttää kipua
ja vain elämän virrassa lipua
Kentät kutsuu sankareita
eikä suinkaan pelkureita
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa
Missä miehet, missä miehet ratsastaa
Missä miehet, missä miehet ratsastaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa
Missä miehet hah – huh – hah

Holiday In Spain
Holiday In Spain
Performer(s): Edmundo Ros
I’m very fond of London town, it’s true
But in the winter, I’ll admit to you
Whenever it’s a cold and foggy day
I shiver and I feel inclined to say
I’ll part with Piccadilly for any part of Chile
For Leicester Square just give me Paraguay
In Peckham I was paler, but not in Venezuela
I want a land of sunshine and ole
I’ll leave you Lord’s Pavillion
For something more Brazilian
South Kensington I’ll swap for the Sante Fe
Though Hampstead’s cool and cleaner
I’ll pass for Argentina
I want a land of sunshine and ole
With macheros, in their sombreros
I will ride the burning pampas like a breeze
Life will be sweeter with senoritas
Who can bessame as mucho as they please
The Thames and other trivia
I’ll barter for Bolivia
You have your Chelsea, I’ll have Uruguay
I’ll trade you Potters Bar, sir, for Nicaragua, sir
I want a land of sunshine and ole
But I am joking, ‘though fog is choking
I am a Londoner in spite of everything
Winter weather can’t last forever
And I want to be in London in the spring
So, goodbye caballeros, thanks for your rancheros
I’d rather be in Mayfair any day
Now I haven’t any option, I’m a cockney by adoption
So keep your land of sunshine and ole
Goodbye caballeros, senoritas, campaneros
Maybe sometime I’ll come for that holiday
To your beautiful land of sunshine and ole

Steppin' In A Slide Zone
Steppin' In A Slide Zone
Composer(s): John Lodge
First release by: The Moody Blues
I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He told me where a river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend, that's where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly I began to slide
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then he said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone...
And there was something there I know
Suddenly I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call
Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Help me please, I thought I said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And I knew what I had found
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
Slide zone, slide zone
Slide zone, time zone
