This is Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell from his album Rebel Yell.

Last night a little dancer
Came dancin’ to my door
Last night a little angel
Came pumpin cross my floor
She said honey baby
You got a license for love
And if it expires
Bring hell from above because

In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell more more more
In the midnight hour babe more more more
With a rebel yell more more more
more more more

She don’t like slavery
She wont sit and beg
But when you tied her open
She’s near to being
What set you free
Brought you to me, babe
What set you free
I need you hear by me, because
In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell she cried more more more
In the midnight hour babe more more more
With a rebel yell more more more
…

(solo)

I walk the walls for you babe
10,000 miles for you
I dried your tears of pain
A thousand times, for
I’d sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I’d give you all
And have none, babe
Just a Just a Justa Justa to have you here by me….

In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell she cried more more more
In the midnight hour babe more more more
With a rebel yell she cried more more more
more more more

more more more more more
more more more more more

This is a hilarious manualist/violin quartet produced by the same guy. He plays two separate violin parts and then two parts on his hands (hand farting). Now that is talent!

This is Star Wars Cantina by Richard Cheese (aka Mark Jonathan Davis). It’s a funny song with Star Wars lyrics set to the tune of Copacabana by Barry Manilow.

(Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope)
(R2-D2)
Her name was Leia, she was a princess,
with a danish on each ear, and Darth Vader drawing near
so R2-D2 found Ben Kenobi, (Obi-Wan)
He’d have to put the Death Star plans into the Rebellions hands,
So Luke and Obi-Wan had to get to Alderaan
So they stopped into Mos Eisly to have a drink with Han

At the Star Wars, Star Wars cantina
The weirdest creatures you’ve ever seena
Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars cantina,
music and blasters and old Jedi masters
at the Star Wars.

(Oona Koota Solo?)
His name was Solo (Han solo), he was a pilot
with a blaster at his side and a smile twelve parsecs wide,
there with Chewbacca, he was a Wookie,
They met with Luke and Obi-Wan about the Millennium Falcon,
docking bay ninety four(ninety four), stormtroopers at the door
With a flash of Bens lightsaber, now there’s an arm on the floor

At the Star Wars, Star Wars cantina
The weirdest creatures you’ve ever seena
Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars cantina,
music and blasters and old Jedi masters
at the Star Wars. (Mos Eisly Spaceport, you will never
find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy,
we must be cautious)

His name was Yoda, he was a muppet.
Darth Vader was so bad and by the way he’s Luke’s dad,
Luke kissed his sister, his hand got cut off
In that galaxy far far away, Luke has had a lousy day,
Boba Fett was so mean, Jabba had bad hygiene,
Why didn’t they all just relax, back on Tatooine

At the Star Wars, Star Wars cantina
The weirdest creatures you’ve ever seena
Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars cantina,
music and blasters and old Jedi masters
at the Star Wars. (The Force will be with you…always)

The Star Wars…
The Star Wars cantina…
The Star Wars…
The Star Wars cantina…

And here is a cool video featuring the song and clips of the movie that are related to the lyrics. Very well done!

The Last.fm site has now teamed up with Universal Music to provide it’s users with free, full-length music videos of some really top rated artists including Nelly Furtado, Amy Winehouse, Kanye West (really cool video!), Nirvana, Guns ‘N’ Roses and more. Thank you Last.fm (or should we thank the owner CBS) as they are actually paying a premium for each stream of a video but pass none of the cost on to it’s users. One of the really cool things is that the videos actually get scrobbled when you watch them so they go into your listening list and affect your suggestions, etc just like regular music tracks. Now if we could only get video scrobbling for everything!

Here is So Into You by Atlanta Rhythm Section from their album Rock N Roll Alternative (1976).

In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you
Would you like to go with me and see a movie
First you say no, you’ve got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, all right
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin
I never seem to know what you are thinkin
And if a fella looks at you
It’s for sure your little eye will be a-winkin
I get confused, cause I don’t know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin
I’m gonna tell you all what my heart’s been a-dyin to be sayin
Just like a ghost, you’ve been a-hauntin my dreams
So I’ll propose on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Spooky, spooky, oh whoa, all right
Spooky, oh yea yea
I said Spooky yea yea

I couldn’t find the actual music video on YouTube, so here is just a video of the front cover of the actual LP with the music playing. Hey, at least you can hear it!

Huh? I thought music was sound… not color. Well, ever heard of the blues? A site called Guitarati (no it doesn’t really have anything to do with guitars) has presented the world with a slightly new interface for selecting music. They assert that all music can be associated with a color. So who determines what color Jimi Hendrix singing All Along The Watchtower is? You do! As you browse and find music on the site you can make color suggestions and the aggregation of all of the people that pick colors for a particular song determines its final color.

Sound strange? Well, I thought so too but it is amazingly accurate… sometimes. Go ahead and check it and see if the music that the site picks doesn’t match the color that you selected. Heck, even if it doesn’t make a lick of sense it sure is a cool and different interface.

A good friend of mine got this song stuck in my head this week. So, here you have this week’s Friday Song Of The Day. This is I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister from their Stay Hungry (1984) album.

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

Turn it down you say,
Well all I gotta say to you is
Time and time again i say no
No no no no no

Tell me not to play
Well all I gotta say to
When you tell me not to play
Is say no
No no no no no

So if you ask me
Why I like the way I play it
There’s only one thing
I can say to you

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

There’s a feeling that
I get from nothing else
And there aint nothing
In the world that
Makes me go, GO
Go go go go go

Turn the power up
I’ve waited for so long
So I can hear
My favorite song
So lets go, GO
Go go go go go

When it’s not this
I feel the music shooting
Through me
There’s nothing else
That I would rather do

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

I wanna rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK
I want to rock, ROCK
I wanna rock, ROCK

And finally the music video. This thing (like all of their videos) is hilarious.

The tough pull an “all-nighter” to meet deadlines. Here is Billy Ocean’s hit When The Going Gets Tough.

When the going gets tough
The tough get going, tough, tough, huh, huh, huh
When the going gets tough, the tough get ready

Yeah, ooooh, du da du da

I got something to tell you
I got something to say
I’m gonna put this dream in motion
Never let nothing stand in my way
When the going gets tough
The tough get going

I’m gonna get myself ‘cross the river
That’s the price I’m willing to pay
I’m gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way,

Woooh

Darlin’, I’ll climb any mountain,
Darlin’, I’ll do anything

Ooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do.
Ooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you, oooh

When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooooh baby

I’m gonna buy me a one-way ticket
Nothin’s gonna hold me back
Your love’s like a slow train coming (slow train coming)
And I feel it coming down the track,

Darlin’, I’ll climb any mountain
Darlin’, I’ll do anything
Ooh (ooh) can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do
Ooh, (ooh) wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you (ooh)
‘Cos when the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough,
The tough get rough

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Darlin’, I’ll climb any mountain
Darlin’, I’ll swim any sea
Darlin’, I’ll reach for the heaven
Darlin’, with you lovin’ me
Oooh (oooh)

Oooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do (can I touch you)
Oooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you

When the going gets tough
*Going gets tough
*Going gets rough

Of course with the highly anticipated Iron Man Movie coming up I had to post this song as a FSOTD. This is Iron Man by Black Sabbath as it appears on their Paranoid (1970) album.

I am Iron Man

Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

Finally, instead of the usual music video for the song I’m going to do something different. Here instead, is the movie trailer for the upcoming Iron Man Movie.

This weeks Friday Song Of The Day goes out to my PC. It died a tragic, burnt electronics death night before last. Thankfully it was quick and I don’t think she suffered much. The song is (I Just) Died In Your Arms from Cutting Crew’s album Broadcast (1986).

(Nick Van Eede)

I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can’t get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don’t see an easy way
To get out of this

Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed
The cat’s in the cradle
Who would’ve thought
That a boy like me could come to this

[CHORUS]
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away

Is there any just cause
For feeling like this
On the surface
I’m a name on a list
I try to be discreet
But then blow it again

I’ve lost and found
It’s my final mistake
She’s loving by proxy
No give and all take
Cause I’ve been thrilled to fantasy
One too many times

[repeat CHORUS]

It was a long hot night
She made it easy
She made it feel right
But now it’s over
The moment is gone
I followed my hands
Not my head
I know I was wrong

[repeat CHORUS]

Finally, the obligatory music video.
