I Heard It Through The Grapevine
I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield; Barrett Strong
First recording/First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1966/1998
Covered by multiple other artists
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
'cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
Instead I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help being confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Honey, honey, I know
That you're letting' me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine

J'Suis D'Accord
J'Suis D'Accord
German Title: Ich Sag'ja
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Roger Samyn
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy; The Skyliners
J'suis d'accord pour le cinéma
Pour le rock, le twist ou le cha-cha
J'suis d'accord pour tout c'que tu voudras
Mais ne compte pas sur moi pour aller chez toi
Dans la rue, si nous nous promenons
J'suis d'accord, pour de longues stations
Tu peux me faire mille propositions
Mais ne me demande pas d'aller chez toi
Baby si tu n'es pas content
Je penserai que ça signifie
Que tu n'm'aimes pas comme tu le prétends
Et que, bien souvent, tu m'as menti
J'suis d'accord, ensemble on est heureux
J'suis d'accord, on fait de notre mieux
Ça peut durer peut-être un mois ou deux
Si tu ne me d'mandes pas d'aller chez toi
J'suis d'accord, ensemble on est heureux
J'suis d'accord, on fait de notre mieux
Ça peut durer peut-être un mois ou deux
Si tu ne me d'mandes pas d'aller chez toi
Si tu ne me d'mandes pas d'aller chez toi
Chez toi...chez toi... chez toi...

Tonton Nestor
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Tonton Nestor
Vous eûtes tort
Je vous le dis tout net
Vous avez mis
La zizanie
Aux noces de Jeannett'
Je vous l'avoue
Tonton, vous vous
Comportâtes comme un
Mufle achevé
Rustre fieffé
Un homme du commun
Quand la fiancée
Les yeux baissés
Des larmes pleins les cils
S'apprêtait à
Dire "Oui da !"
A l'officier civil
Qu'est-c'qui vous prit
Vieux malappris
D'aller, sans retenue
Faire un pinçon
Cruel en son
Eminence charnue
Se retournant
Incontinent
Ell' souffleta, flic-flac
L'garçon d'honneur
Qui, par bonheur
Avait un' tête à claqu'
Mais au lieu du
"Oui" attendu
Ell' s'écria: "Maman"
Et l'mair' lui dit
"Non, mon petit
Ce n'est pas le moment"
Quand la fiancée
Les yeux baissés
D'une voix solennell'
S'apprêtait à
Dire "Oui da !"
Par-devant l'Eternel
Voila mechef
Que, derechef
Vous osâtes porter
Votre fichue
Patte crochue
Sur sa rotondité
Se retournant
Incontinent
Elle moucha le nez
D'un enfant d'chœur
Qui, par bonheur
Etait enchifrené
Mais au lieu du
"Oui" attendu
De sa pauvre voix lass'
Au tonsuré
Désemparé
Elle a dit "Merde", hélas
Quoiqu'elle usât
Qu'elle abusât
Du droit d'être fessue
En la pinçant
Mauvais plaisant
Vous nous avez déçus
Aussi, ma foi
La prochain' fois
Qu'on mariera Jeannett'
On s'pass'ra d'vous
Tonton, je vous
Je vous le dit tout net

I Hear You Knockin'
Composer(s): Pearl King; Dave Bartholomew
First release by: Smiley Lewis - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists
You went away and left me long time ago and
now you're knocking on my door
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been
I begged you not to go but you said: "goodbye"
and now you're telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking ,go back where you've been
You better go back to your "used-to-be"
cause you and your love ain't no good for me
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been

J'Sais Pas Danser
J'sais Pas Danser
((Adapted from: Balancê (by Joao de Barro))
Composer(s): Braguinha - Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Cherche un autre partenaire
Ou un autre cavalier
Moi, je ne suis pas une bonne affaire
Je te marcherais sur les pieds
Car... J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Cette chanson brésilienne
Me donne envie de bouger
Me voilà pris d'une audace soudaine
Mais mon corps reste figé
Car... J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Mais si jamais tu proposes
D'autres ébats, d'autres jeux.
Alors ce n'est plus du tout la même chose
Je te suivrai où tu veux.
Mais... J'sais pas danser, pas danser
Ni m'balancer, m'balancer
Ça me fatigue de me trémousser
J'sais pas danser, pas danser...

Tonite, Tonite
Composer(s): Billy Myles
Performer(s): The Mello-Kings
Too-oo-oo-nite, tonite while I'm holding you so near (holding you so near)
Tonite, tonite what I'd give if I could hear
Those three little words that would thrill the heart of me (thrill the heart of me)
Just whisper (shhh whisper) "I love you" and will eternally
Tonite, tonite more than any time before (any time before)
This hea-ah-art of mine seems to need you so much more
The touch of your lips, the thrill of your embrace (thrill of your embrace)
Keep saying that no one will ever take your place
While looking up above I-I wished upon a star
And prayed for a blessing from ab-o-o-o-ove
Well, if my wish should come true until our life is through
I'll have you near to have, to hold and to love
Well, tonite, tonite may it never reach an end (never reach an end)
I'll mi-i-iss you so till you're in my arms again
With all of my heart I declare with all my might (declare with all my might)
I'll love you forever as I lo-o-o-ve you tonite
(Love you, love you, love you tonite)
Too-oo-oo-nite, tonite may it never reach an end (never reach an end)
I'll mi-i-iss you so till you're in my arms again
With all of my heart I declare with all my might (declare with all my might)
I'll love you forever as I lo-o-o-ve you-oo to-oo-ni-ite
(Love you tonite)

I Hear Trumpets Blow
I Hear Trumpets Blow
Composer(s): Mitch Margo; Hank Medress; Jay Siegel
Performer(s): The Tokens
and multiple other artists
Fanfare
I am not of royalty
I'm an ordinary guy
From a little family
And the riches pass us by
No red carpets on the floor
Nothing fancy I can show
But when we all stand together
I hear trumpets blow
Fanfare
Oh there is a fair young maiden
I love her and she loves me
She is kind and understanding
Filled with personality
And the people closest to me
All respect and love her so
When I see how much they take to her
I hear trumpets blow
Fanfare
Oh it really does amaze me
All the happiness I feel
And with every passing day I find
I can't believe it's real
So I pray that it will last
At least a hundred years or so
And I know it's not impossible
When I hear trumpets blow
Fanfare ...

Joyride (Ray Wylie Hubbard)
Joyride
Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Y' understand I was not lookin' whereby to fall in love
I'd come downtown to check out a band
at The Continental Club
A Mamie Van Doren-lookin' woman come in the door
She was untamed youth rebellion and truth and so much more
I don't know if she had seen the light, she seemed at home in the dark
Her eyes met mine and it was like the time they split the atom apart
She could have had any biker in the bar but she come up to me
She said "You're done sleeping around, from now on you're with me"
Y' understand I did not know if this was my last or my lucky day
She said "You wanna go for a joy ride or you wanna stay here and pray"
I thought about my choices and I guess I could have said no
But it was just a band I'd come to see, so I mumbled "Let's go"
She had an old Camaro--naugahyde tuck and roll
She said "You can't live down in Texas if you don't have a lot of soul"
The stereo was blasting "Mendocino" by Doug Sahm
She said "Fasten your seatbelt, you're with me from now on"
Understand I was not sleeping at the next day's sunrise
Me and this joy ride angel were up all night it's no surprise
When we got to her house she said "Go on and take off your shoes
I don't smoke afterwards I prefer to listen to blues"
"I know you're an old roots rocker and that's a compliment
When she said "Do you want to hear some Slim Harpo," I knew she was heaven sent
In her fine presence is where I want to be
I'm done sleeping around, from now on she's with me...

Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Early in the mornin' at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon
'Cause people let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
Well, early in the morning at just about the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

First performance: Peter Lind Hayes, Eddie Quillan, Frank Jenks & Robert Paige - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
I hear music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair
Sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right near by
There's my favourite melody
You, my angel, phoning me
I hear music
Mighty fine music
And anytime I think my world is wrong
I get me out of bed and sing this song
I hear music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair
Sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right near by
There's my favourite melody
You, my angel, phoning me
I hear music
Mighty fine music
And anytime I think my world is wrong
I get me out of bed and sing this song

Joyride
Composer(s): Nigel Dixon; Gary Myrick; Paul Simonon
Performer(s): Havana 3 A.M.
Stolen car jumps red lights
Twisted wire sparks new life
Need no keys, hot wire that car
Hijack and blow
Hijack and blow
And go like
Speeding under city lights
Highway winding through the night
Burn that fuel, speed up that motion
Joyride that car
Joyride that car
And don't get
Wheels are sliding
Speeds exciting
Ride like lightning
Crash like thunder...
Headlights sweep the road
Burning through the avenue
Hit the brakes, don't lose control
Joyride that car
Joyride that car

Tonight, our spirits will be climbing
To a sky lit up with diamond
When I make love to you tonight
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through
Tonight, there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do is to get close to you tonight
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And soon this ol' world will seem brand new
Tonight, we will both discover how friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through

You've given me a true love
and every day I thank you love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer
Closer to your arms
Then suddenly, I hear a symphony
Ooh, your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
'Till I leave the past behind
I'm lost in a world
Made for you and me
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Play sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine now baby
Baby, baby
You bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on
Now baby, baby
Those tears that seem my eyes
I cry not for myself
But for those who never felt the joy we felt
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rap so dy of love now
Baby, baby
As you stand holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air
Now baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singing...

Make sweet love to you
Sing it now...
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun

Vannacht kwam jij voor 't eerst in mijn leven
Wat kan er mooier zijn dan dicht bij jou te zijn
Vannacht

Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists
Our little girl taken sick one evening
As she walked home from school
And in her death bed soon bring her
It made us so sad and so blue
Then she called me close to her bedside
And whispered these words soft and low
"Tell Mommy to come to me quickly
I want to kiss you both then go"
I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in heaven on high
God has made room for you daughter
Oh Mommy and Daddy don't cry
Take care of my little brother
Tell him I've gone to rest
I know his little heart is broken
He's all that you have left
Then she closed her eyes forever
Never to see us no more
Until we meet our darling
On that bright and peaceful shore

Joy
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson
The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Come here, I’m going to make you my Joy Boy”
Well, things went good, things went bad
Now every time I think of Joy it makes me sad
It makes me ... sad
The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Roy, I’m going to make you my Joy Boy”
Well, she took me for a ride, sort of a joy ride
Now every time I think of Joy, I get all weird inside
Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Now, if you haven’t got an answer, you’d never have a question
And if you never had a question, then you’d never have a problem
But if you never had a problem, well everyone would be happy
But if everyone was happy, there’d never be a love song
Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said, “Come here, I’m going to make you all clammy inside”
Well, things went good, things went bad
Things went good and things went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad
Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow

Your wedding was so fine, a thousand people drinking champagne and wine
Your daddy smiled as he gave your hand away
All your friends got you fixed in place
I can see by the sad look on your face
that your heart is dying to fly away
Tonight you're mine
I'm gonna love you tell the end of time
Tonight we're gonna take it all the way
Tonight you're mine
This thing we're feeling girl
it ain't no crime you know
There's gonna be a brighter day
The time has come for you to make that final run
Pack a suitcase - get out the door
Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind
Well you don't need it any more
Tonight you're mine
I'm gonna love you tell the end of time
Tonight we're gonna take it all the way
Tonight you're mine
This thing we're feeling girl
it ain't no crime you know
There's gonna be a brighter day
