Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
Composer(s): Alan Jackson - Jim McBride
Performer(s): Alan Jackson
Daddy won a radio
Tuned it to a country show
I was rockin' in the cradle
To the cryin' of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
Taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries 'cause she never thought
I'd ever really take it this far
Singin' in the bars
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
All I've ever wanted
Was to pick this guitar and sing
Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
An atlas and a coffee cup
Five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston
For a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killin' me
Half the time I sing for free
But when the crowd's into it
Lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standin in the spotlight
Daddy's got a radio
He won it thirty years ago
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday"
I made it up to Music Row
But Lordy don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage
Daddy's got a radio
He won it thirty years ago
He said "Son I just know we're gonna hear you singin' on it someday"
I made it up to Music Row
But Lordy don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

Radio Heart
Radio Heart
Composer(s): Stephen Davis; Dennis Morgan
Performer(s): Charly McClain; Richard Clayderman
Married at sixteen
Two kids by twenty-one
But he couldn't take it
Now she's raisin' them all on her own
Between the bills and the laundry
Sometimes she's so lonely she cries
But she's found an escape
From some of the achin' inside
She's got a radio heart
She loves the songs they play, they take him off her mind
She's got a radio heart
It helps fill an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in a steel guitar
Oh, it's her way out when the heartache starts
She's found a little salvation on a local station
She's got a radio heart
She'll finish clearin' the table
And put the kids off to bed
She tries to watch an old movie
But she thinks of him instead
She lies alone in the dark
And stares at the lighted dial
She gets into the music
And out of this world for a while
She's got a radio heart
She loves the songs they play, they take him off her mind
She's got a radio heart
It helps fill an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in a steel guitar
Oh, it's her way out when the heartaches start
She's found a little salvation on a local station
She's got a radio heart
She's got a radio heart
She's got a radio heart

London Boys (David Bowie)
London Boys
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
Cow bell strikes another night
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache
You've bought some coffee, butter and bread
You can't make a thing cause the meter's dead
You moved away
Hold your folks you're gonna stay away
Bright lights, Soho, Wardour street
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet
Somebody shows you round
Now you've met the London boys
Things seem good again, someone cares about you
Oh, the first time that you tried a pill
You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill
You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose faith
To let yourself down would be a big disgrace
With the London boys, with the London boys
You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown
In the month you've been away from your parents' home
You take the pills too much
You don't give a damn about that jobs you've got
So long as you're with the London boys
A London boy, oh a London boy
Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy
A London boy, a London boy
You're crying out loud that you're a London boy
You think you've had a lot of fun
But you ain't got nothing, you're on the run
It's too late now, cause you're out there boy
You've got it made with the rest of the toys
Now you wish you'd never left your home
You've got what you wanted but you're on your own
With the London boys
Now you've met the London boys
Now you've met the London boys
Now you've met the London boys

Chase The Blues Away
Chase The Blues Away
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Well come along walk with me
And learn the songs that lovers sing
When they believe
We’ll dance along the river’s edge
Just arm and arm along the moonlit shore
The midnight cries
Well I just came to chase the blues away
For awhile
Just like a child you’ll cling to me
From every sound along that rushes near
It’s just the breeze that licks your skin
And rubs your breast
And as we lay our river’s flow away
Your woman fear
Well I just came to chase the blues away
For awhile
With the morning sun we’ll wake
And lift our eyes and watch the eagle fly
Up mountain high
And on his wings our love will climb
And never fail until he soars and dives
Oh, he’ll take your breath away
Well, he just came to chase the blues away
For awhile

Radio Ga Ga
Radio Ga Ga
Composer(s): Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Queen;
and various other artists
Radio - radio
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio - radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time - you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio - radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga ga (ga ga)
Radio ga ga (ga ga)
Radio ga ga (ga ga)
You had your time - you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

Desnuda Y Con Sombrilla
Desnuda Y Con Sombrilla
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Tú sentada en una silla
yo de pie con expresión de lord
tu desnuda y con sombrilla
yo vestido pero con calor
Tú con uñas y con dientes
mirándome de frente
con brillo de matar
Yo retrocediendo un poco
llenándome de un loco
deseo de sangrar
Tú besando tus rodillas
yo discreto pero sin rubor
tú creando maravillas
yo soñándome esquimal sin sol
Tú con un ritmo tan lento
buscando un alimento
frotado con alcohol
Yo de pronto ensimismado
mirándote alelado
colmada de licor
Tú ardiente y sin capilla
yo quitándome el sombrero alón
tú dispuesta la vajilla
yo al filo de mi pantalón
Yo a punto del delirio
extraigo un solo cirio
que poso ante tu flor
Tú susurrando un misterio
de un no sé qué venéreo
me das un protector

Charpie De Chapka
Charpie De Chapka
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Je me souviens
Je me souviens
Tes longues mains
Tes longues mains...
Être bon
Être bien
Être soi, être rien
Mais pas n'importe quoi
Une charpie de chapka...
Ces mots qui ne veulent
Plus rien dire
Ou qui disent
Le contraire
De ce qu'ils voulaient dire...
Tout ça
Maintenant, c'est là
Comme une charpie de chapka...
Et je me souviens de toi...
Se souvenir d'où l'on vient
Ne pas donner raison aux chiens
Ne pas devenir n'importe quoi
Pas une charpie de chapka...
Un soleil qui nous désaltère
L'eau pure qui chauffe nos artères
Vouloir un peu de mieux sur terre
Comme tu le voulais là-bas...
Loin des charpies de chapka...
Je me souviens...
Tes longues mains
Artiste pauvre
Passé sur terre
Tu voulais le bien
De tes frères...
Une seul famille
Un seul destin
Et le bonheur
Au quotidien...
Ces rêves, maintenant, ne sont plus là
Ils sont tous partis avec toi...
Comme les empires croulent soudain
Comme les rêves se désespèrent
Devant le mal, devant le froid...
Comme une charpie de chapka...

Radio and TV
Radio and TV
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Radio and TV do a lot for me
Lots of times I dig my honey
When I'm runnin' short of foldin' money
and the radio and TV are free
At the outdoor movie, everything is groovy
But at times I like it better
Just to bring my baby home and set her
At the radio and TV with me
(x2):
It's nice to sit and say things that lovers have to say
While the good guys chase the bad guys and the top 10 records play
Take away my car keys, take away my waterskis
Take away my foldin' money, take it all
But just don't take my honey or my radio and TV from me

The Lollipop Song
The Lollipop Song
Performer(s): George Grandee
I've always been a gentle guy, kept my temper well
But there is something on my mind I simply have to tell
There may be certain boys who shout, "You're just a dumb half-wit"
But my mind's made up about one thing, und this is it
Oh, I'd rather suck on a lemon drop
Than to try my luck with a lollipop
'Cause I always drop my lollipop
Und it gets all over icky
Oh, it makes me sick with the way it smears
How the stuff do stick in tour hair and ears
With the lemon bean I'm always clean
But a lollipop, all icky
I've tried and tried, but never could find
A lollipop that's even halfway refined
So, I'd rather suck on a lemon drop
Than to try my luck with a lollipop
'Cause I always drop my lollipop
Und it gets all over icky

Charms
Charms
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Helen Miller
Performer(s): Bobby Vee
Pretty charms, pretty little charms
See how they sparkle in the sun
Ding dong ding listen to them ring
They seem to be telling everyone
That you're my-y baby
With a twist of your wrist it can be told
You're my-y baby
There it is, in fourteen ca-a-a-ra-a-at golden
Pretty charms, pretty little charms
Starting from the day we met
The Sweet Sixteen, the moments in between
That New Year's Eve we won't forget
So if some guy should ask you
If some night you're free
Wave him away with a wave of your arms
Do as I say, just blind 'em with your charms
And show him you belong to me
So if some guy should ask you
If some night you're free
Wave him away with a wave of your arms
Do what I say, just blind 'em with your charms
And show him you belong to me
(Pretty charms, pretty little charms)

Radio
Radio
Composer(s): Bob Heatlie; Gordon Campbell
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens
Well, I got a girl whose as cute as can be
But she never plays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all
Well I take her to the movies and it's just the same
We just get cozy and it's on again
Listen on the headphones tuned into her favourite show, ooh ooh
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All day long
I whisper sweet nothings inside her ear
But when I get close all I ever hear
Some cool DJ telling me it's gonna show, ooh ooh
Doesn't seem to be a way of getting inside her head
She talks to me when it's only if the battery's dead
But then she keeps a spare and it's back to rock and roll, oh yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all she ever wanna do
I got a girl whose as cute as can be
But she never pays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo, ooh ooh
She's a hopeless case and I don't know what I can do
I rack my brains while she sings out of tune
Well she's switching me off and one of these days I'm gonna go, go yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Yeah, all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

Lollipop Man
Lollipop Man
Composer(s): Hammond - Hazlewood
Performer(s): Sweet
You go to the girl's school
And I go to the boy's school
Both seperated by a lollipop man
I must cross the street to
Get around to meet you
Therefore I have to pass a lollipop man
Lollipop man, there's a lollipop man
Who stands in the middle of the street
(Ain't he sweet)
There's a lollipop man, yeah a lollipop man
Hey, good golly there's a lollipop man
He carries out his duty
Isn't he a cutie
There in the middle with his lollipop pole
Opposite the high school
Right in front of my school
He's so incredible
He's really got soul
Lollipop man, lollipop man
Lollipop man, lollipop man
He won't let the traffic come between us
We can be together very soon
But he will make the traffic stop
With his giant lollipop
Looking just a little like a moon man
In a yellow rain coat
And a pair of gum boots
There in the midst of an incredible jam
Any kind of weather
Bringing us together
There stands a funny little lollipop man
Lollipop man, there's a lollipop man
Who stands in the middle of the street
(Ain't he sweet)
A lollipop man, there's a lollipop man
Hey, good golly there's a lollipop man...

Charmaine
Composer(s): Lew Pollack - Erno Rapee
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians
and multiple other artists
I can't forget the night we met
How bright were stars above
That precious memory lingers yet
When you declared your love
And then you went away
And now each night and day...
I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine, my Charmaine
I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again
I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same
I wonder if you ever think of me too
I'm waiting my Charmaine for you

Radar Love
Radar Love
Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
My baby called, said she needs me here
It's half past four and I'm shifting gears
When she gets lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need to talk at all
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a wave in the air
Radar love
Radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee is comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
I'm spinnin' into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends a comfort coming in from above
Don't need a letter at all
Chorus
No more speed I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of clouds goes down real slow
And the radio plays some forgotten song
Brenda Lee is coming on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar lover gone
…We got a thing that's called radar love…

The Logical Song
The Logical Song
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
First release by: Supertramp - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
clinical, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am

Charly (Anne Léonard)
Charly
Composer(s): Sébastien Balasko - Daniel Faure
Performer(s): Anne Léonard
Charly:
Comme disait Freud, sur lequel j'ai fait un exposé
Absolument aaaapocalyptique la semaine dernière
L'attirance médiumnique de nos sexes opposés
Est inversément proportionnelle à l'attirance psychique……..
L'amour est compliqué, aujourd'hui les garçons
Ne savent plus flirter, simplement, sans raison
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre ta conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination
Je sais bien que tu meurs d'envie de m'embrasser
Mais tu racontes Freud avant de dessiner
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre la conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination
Dis: "Je t'aime!"
Prends-moi dans tes bras, et oublions Kafka
L'amour comme autrefois, c'est merveilleux, crois-moi!
Demande à ta maman, demande à ton papa
Ils s'embrassaient, tout simplement, en chantant …
Ta sensibilité prend de telles proportions
Que tu ne peux rien faire sans une explication
Chaaarly ! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre la conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination
Charly:
L'hypnose sensorielle et ta structure environnante, ma chérie
M'interdit farouchement d'appliquer les théories marxistes
de notre masochisme décadent…..
Dans le contexte social actuel,je pense que l'union libre
Serait envisageable afin de permettre le recyclage
De notre métabolisme sexuel et d'éviter le paroxysme
De la paranoïa que menace…..
Je sais bien que tu meurs d'envie de m'épouser
Mais tu racontes Freud avant de dessiner
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre la conversation
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination
Si tu m'aimes, prends-moi dans tes bras, et oublions Kafka!
Faisons comme autrefois, Charly, épouse-moi !
Demande à ma maman, demande à mon papa
Embrasse-moi, épouse-moi
Oh Charly, Charly………….
L'amour, c'est une fille qui rencontre un garçon
Et ça finit toujours de la même façon
Chaaarly! Prête-moi ton vélo pour suivre ta conversation
Je sens que ta libido dép…
Je sens que ta libido dép…
Je sens que ta libido dépasse ton imagination

Raconte-Moi La Mer
Raconte-Moi La Mer
Composer(s): Claude Delecluse
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Raconte-moi la mer
Dis-moi le goût des algues
Et le bleu et le vert
Qui dansent sur les vagues
La mer c'est l'impossible
C'est le rivage heureux
C'est le matin paisible
Quand on ouvre les yeux
C'est la porte du large
Ouverte à deux battants
C'est la tête en voyage
Vers d'autres continents
C'est voler comme Icare
Au devant du soleil
En fermant sa mémoire
A ce monde cruel
La mer c'est le désir
De ce pays d'amour
Qu'il faudra découvrir
Avant la fin du jour
Raconte-moi la mer
Dis-moi ses aubes pâles
Et le bleu et le vert
Où tombent des étoiles
La mer c'est l'innocence
Du paradis perdu
Le jardin de l'enfance
Où rien ne chante plus
C'est l'écume et le sable
Toujours recommencés
Et la vie est semblable
Au rythme des marées
C'est l'infinie détresse
Des choses qui s'en vont
C'est tout ce qui nous laisse
A la morte saison
La mer c'est le regret
De ce pays d'amour
Que l'on cherche toujours
Et qu'on n'atteint jamais
Raconte-moi la mer
Dis-moi le goût des algues
Et le bleu et le vert
Qui dansent sur les vagues

So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up
Jump back
Well, now, I think you've got the knack
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now

A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
