The Ronettes - Be My Baby

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go
So won't you please

(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh

I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
Till eternity
So won't you please

(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

[INSTRUMENTAL]

So come on and please
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh

(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
(Be my be my baby) Oh-oh-oh, oohh...
(I want it only say) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooohh...

"Be My Baby", otro "archiconocidísimo" tema, que también pertenece a "The Ronettes", y que va junto a la apertura de una no tan famosa (pero no por eso mala) película de Martin Scorsese, llamada "Mean Streets".

Aretha Franklin - I Say a Little Prayer for You

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only meen heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I'm in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

Sammy Hagar - I can`t drive 55

One foot on the brake and one on the gas
Well there's too much traffic and I can't pass No
So I try my best illegal move
A big black-and-white come an' touch my groove again

CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55

Oh No Huh
So I sign my name on number 24 Hey
And the judge said Boy Just one more Huh
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint
Looked me in the eye Said You get my point I say yeah Oh yeah

CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55
Oh yeah I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55
I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55

When I drive that slow It's hard to steer
And I can't take my car outta second gear
What used to take 2 hours Now takes all day Huh
It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.

CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55
No No No I can't drive I CAN'T DRIVE 55
I can't drive I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55

Samuel Roy Hagar, más conocido como Sammy Hagar, es un famoso cantante, guitarrista, y compositor de Rock Norteamericano. Entre otras bandas perteneció a Van Halen entre los años 1985 y 1996.

Años antes, en el transcurso de su carrera como solista, creó la mencionada canción "I Can`t Drive 55", que nace como protesta a la limitación federal de no poder conducir en autopistas a más de 55 millas por hora (88 Kms/h). Ley que tiempo más tarde sería modificada y finalmente abolida.

La canción pertenece además, a la banda sonora del PELICULÓN, "Volver al Futuro Parte 2", y como es de cabezona aquella historia, se hace coincidente con los 88 Kms/h...

...ojo con el look de Hagar en el video, esta NOTABLE...!!!

The Kingsmen - Louie, Louie

CHORUS:

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!

"Louie, Louie", fue compuesta y escrita por Richard Berry, un cantante y compositor de Rock & Roll negro, nacido el 11 de Abril de 1935, en Nueva Orleand, USA.

En 1956, la canción fue un éxito total en la costa oeste Americana, y más tarde, producto del cover hecho por "The Kingsmen", esta se hizo conocida a nivel de todo USA.

Se han hecho casi unas 1000 versiones de este tema, y a pesar de que la letra es inofensiva, tambien es dificil de comprender, por lo que se le dieron interpretaciones obscenas, y fue prohibida en distintos estados; hasta fue investigada por el FBI

...llegó a mi gracias al famosito comercial de DirectTV, y también es parte del soundtrack de la película "Coffee and Cigarettes"

The Ronettes - Baby, I Love You

Have i ever told you
how good it feels to hold you
it isn't easy to explain
And though i'm really tryin'
i think i may start cryin'
my heart can't wait an other day
When you kiss me i just gotta
kiss me i just gotta
kiss me i just gotta say :
Baby, i love you
come on baby
baby, i love you
baby i love, i love only you
I can't live without you
i love everything about you
i can't help it if i feel this way
Oh i'm so glad i found you
i want my arms around you
i love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel
tell me that you feel
tell me that you feel the same
Baby, i love you
come on baby
baby, i love you
baby i love, i love only you
