All You Zombies (song) - All You Zombies (song) "All You Zombies" is a song by The Hooters on their second album Nervous Night released in 1985. The song stems from the stories of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments and Noah's Ark in the Old Testament of the Bible, and the fact that in both stories the people had rejected higher guidance. Some suggest that the song is a religious allegory on the unenlightened, warning them of what is to come if they do not accept the word of God, while others believe that the tune was written first and the lyrics only added because they fit. The song was performed by the band at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia, on July 13 1985..

Please Please Me - United Kingdom, due only to the constant efforts of producer George Martin. To date, the Beatles had released only two singles ("Love Me Do"/"P.S. I Love You" - October 5, 1962; "Please Please Me"/"Ask Me Why" - January 11, 1963) with only moderate success. At the time, groups rarely released an LP unless the album was supported by a massive hit or popular film. Martin pushed for the album to be released, and many of the tracks came to be hits in the UK and/or the United States (some not until it was re-released two years later). American audiences saw only one Beatles single ("Please Please Me"/"Ask Me Why" - February 25, 1963) before Please Please Me was released (under the title Introducing the Beatles on Vee-Jay Records).

If You're Happy and You Know It - If You're Happy and You Know It "If You're Happy and You Know It" is a popular children's song, or nursery rhyme, credited to songwriter Alfred B. Smith c. 1916. It has, like many familiar childhood cantations, been altered in various ways over the years for various uses, particularly as political rags. The original song as it is known to Americans begins:- If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it, Then your face will surely show it, If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. In Great Britain, the fourth line is more usually rendered as "And you really want to show it". Numerous variations of.
Ironic (song) - Ironic (song) Ironic is the title of a 1995 song written and performed by singer Alanis Morissette, which first appeared on her highly successful debut album Jagged Little Pill. Musically, the song is a glossy take on a basic grunge music format, with delicate, sparsely-instrumented verses alternating with loud, aggressive chorus sections. Lyrically, the song consists of a series of vignettes describing situations, each ending in the repeated question "Isn't it ironic?" For example: A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic... don't you think? Linguistic controversy The song's usage of the.
Hitler has only got one ball - he was indeed monorchic, but the confirmation comes from Soviet sources who may have had propaganda reasons for the assertion. When mentioned, the song asserts that Hitler lacked the right testicle, but the autopsy states that it was the left testicle that was missing. In his autobiography Fringe Benefits, well-connected Anglo-Irish gadabout and publicist Donough O'Brien claims the original was written by his father, Toby O'Brien, also a publicity agent, in August, 1939 as British propaganda. [1] This purported original version started with the words "Göring has only got one ball", and went on to imply that Hitler had two small ones. This is in contrast to virtually all later versions, in which the positions were reversed. In another variation from the later form, the final line of this original ends.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Godspeed You! Black Emperor Godspeed You! Black Emperor (formerly known as Godspeed You Black Emperor!) is a Canadian rock group based in Montreal, Quebec. The band is most commonly classified as post rock, but they exist outside any established scene and take influences from a range of styles including progressive rock, punk, classical music and the avant garde. Their records each consist of a few fairly long tracks (mostly between 10-20 minutes), divided into "movements" which are sometimes specified in the record sleeve. The band formed around 1994 with three members, but its lineup has changed frequently. The band has had as many as fifteen members at one time, but has tended to settle down to a group of nine. The instruments played vary with the lineup,.
