Modern Talking - 80's Classics


Modern Talking was a German pop music duo consisting of composer/producer/background singer Dieter Bohlen and singer Thomas Anders.

It was the single most successful pop group in Germany (by sales).

Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to irreconcilable disagreements (they had never been friends in the first place).

Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on the German edition of the TV show Pop Idol/American Idol.

Brother Louie lyrics :

Dear, love is a burning fire.
Stay, cause then the flames grow higher.
Babe, don't let him steel your heart.It's easy, it's easy.
Girl, this game can't last forever.
Why ? Why can not live together.
Try, don't let him take your love from me.

You're not good, can't you see brother Louie, Louie, Louie.
I'm in love set you free.
Oh, she's only looking to me.
Only love breaks her heart brother Louie, Louie, Louie.
Only love's paradise.
Oh, she's only looking to me.
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie.
Oh, she's only looking to me.
Oh, let it Louie.She's undercover.
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie.
Oh, doing what he's doing.
So, leave it Louie.Cause I'm a lover.
Stay, cause this boy wants to gamble.
Stay, love is more than he can handle, girl.
Oh, come on stay by me forever, ever.
Why does he go on pretending that his love is never ending fate.
Babe, don't let him steel your love from me.

You'll Never Walk Alone

Gerry & The Pacemakers rivalled the Beatles early in their career, playing in the same areas of Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool, England.

Thier first hit in early 1963 "How Do You Do It?", a Mitch Murray written song that both Adam Faith and the Beatles had turned down , was a smashing hit and reached No.1 in the charts.

But specially they are now best known for their version of "You'll Never Walk Alone," which has become the anthem for Liverpool Football Club in England.

Liverpool's fans sing along to the song before every match at Anfield, their home stadium.

Jumping Jack Flash - Lyrics And Videos


Wish I was born back then to see the glory of rock n' roll.

I remeber the motion picture by the same name JJF - It was a hit !!

The Lyrics of Jumping Jack Flash:

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!
But its all right. Im jumpin jack flash,Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!
But its all right, Im jumpin jack flash,Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeahI was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!
But its all right, Im jumpin jack flash,Its a gas! gas! gas!
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash

Mirror Man - Human League Ace !!!

I remember this video from MTV back in our days.

The video is of Donald Campbell breaking the World Water speed record, his boat- bluebird- crashing and his body, consequently, never being found since.

Some say this song is about Adam Ant and how he got so consumed of himself ...

God I wish I was 17 again.

Lindsay Lohan is Great !!!

I LOVE her last album. It's a little edgy, poppy but real good listen.
Lindsay Lohan is great.

If you are expecting more songs like "Rumors" than this is not the album for you.

If you like Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" album then this is a good buy.

Definitely worth listening.

Ready for the Floor - New Hit in UK !!

Hot Chip's 3rd album 'Made in the Dark' , is very surprising.

This album gets so much better the more you listen to it.

On initial hearing I wasn't sure about this, but with every play the album improves.

Watch "Hot Chip" video 'Ready For The Floor' who reached for # 6 in BBC Chart this week :

Nina Simone - "High Priestess of Soul"

Simone was born by the name Eunice Kathleen Waymon in North Carolina.

She was inspired as a child by Marian Anderson and began singing at the local church, showing her great talent as a pianist.

Her first public show, a piano recital, was made at the age of ten. Her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the hall to make way for the white people. This incident contributed to her later involvement in the civil rights movement.

Simone's mother was a strict Methodist minister; her father, was a handyman and sometime barber who suffered bouts of ill-health.

Mrs. Waymon worked as a maid and her employer, hearing of Nina's talent, provided funds for piano lessons for the little girl.

Finally, a local fund was set up to assist in Eunice's continued education.At the age of seventeen, Simone moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she taught piano and accompanied singers.

She was able to begin studying piano at New York City's prestigious Juilliard School of Music but lack of funds meant that she was unable to fulfill her dream of becoming America's first Black classical pianist.
She later had an interview to study piano at the Curtis Institute, but was rejected. Simone believed this rejection, which fuelled her hatred of racism, was because she was black.

Nina Simone died April 21, 2003 in France.

Jessica Simpson - "A Public Affair"

I just LOVE listening to it!! Unlike some people, I'm proud to own this album. I definitely got my money's worth!!

‘A Public Affair’ it is the right kind of new disco that I love that isn't too cheesy or overdone [like some others on this album]. Good job.

In my opinion, "A Public Affair" has got to be one of the best albums that Jessica Simpson has EVER put out!!

This video from the more talented Simpson sister in which is probably the one of the catchiest pop sons I have heard in quite some time :

Mama – Genesis Fabulous Song

The first single from Genesis' 1983 album .

The song is remembered by many for Phil Collins' sinister laugh.

The band and producer Hugh Padgham revealed that the inspiration for the laugh came from rap music pioneer Grandmaster Flash's song "The Message".

Illusionist David Copperfield has used the song during one of his stage segments, the "Cocoon" illusion.
