What have you done for me lately? [Janet Jackson]

Used to be a time when you would pamper me
Used to brag about it all the time
Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind
Who's right?

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah

Used to go to dinner almost every night
Dancin' 'til I thought I'd lose my breath (Ahh)
Now it seems your dancing feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death
Ain't that a shame?

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah

I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it's the truth
You seem to think you're God's gift to this earth
I'm tellin' you, no way

You ought to be thankful for the little things,
but little things are all you seem to give
You're always putting off what we can do today
Soap opera says, you've got one life to live
Who's right, who's wrong?

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah

Get with it

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
This is wild, I swear

Sledgehammer [Peter Gabriel]

You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Yeah. Yeah.

Show me round your fruitcage
'Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Ooowww. I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge, sledge
Sledgehammer

I'm getting ready
I've kicked the habit (Kicked the habit, Kicked the habit)
Shed my skin (Shed my skin)
This is the new stuff (This is the new stuff)
I go dancing in (we go dancing in)
Oh won't you show for me (show for me)
I will show for you (show for you)
Show for me (show for me)
I will show for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
(Show for me)
Only you
You've been coming through
(Show for you)
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey
(Show for me)
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
(Show for you)
Going to feel that power, build in you
(Show for me) Come on, come on, help me do
Come on, come on, help me do
(Show for you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
(Show for me)
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
(Show for you)
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night

I can't wait [Nu-Shooz]

(Baby, I-I-I can't wait)

My love, tell me what it's all about
You've got something that I can't live without
Happiness is so hard to find
Hey baby, tell me what is on your mind

Cause I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
Till you call me on the telephone
I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
I can't do it all alone
(I can't wait)
You know I love ya, even when you don't try
I know that our love will never die
Hey darlin', when you look into my eyes
Please tell me you'll never have to say goodbye

Cause I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
This is what I've been waiting for
I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
Till my love walks in the door
I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
True love is so hard to find
I've got no super mind
I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
Tell me what is on your mind

(I can't wait)
(I can't wait)
No, I can't wait
I'll tell you one more time (Baby, I can't wait)
Tell me what is on your mind

Oh, I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
This is what I've been waiting for
I can't wait
(Baby, I can't wait)
Till my love walks in the door

Camouflage [Stan Ridgeway]

I was a PFC on a search patrol, hunting Charlie down
It was in the jungles wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone
And I could hear the enemy moving in close outside

Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun
And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate
And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there at my shoulder and said 'Wait'

When he came in close beside me he said 'Don't worry son, I'm here'
'If Charlie want to tangle now he'll have two to dodge'
I said 'Well, thanks a lot'. I told him my name and asked him his
And he said 'The boys just call me Camouflage'

Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big marine

Well we fought all night and side by side we took our battle stance
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
Cause they seemed to go right through him, just as if he wasn't there
At that moment we both took a chance and ran

And it was here at the river bank when the ambush came on top of us
And I thought it was the end, and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzing through a bush
And that big marine, he just swat it with his hand
Just like it was a fly

Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
This was an awfully strange marine

And I knew there was somethin' weird about him
Cause when I turned around he pulling a big palm tree right up out of the ground
And swatting those Charlies with it
From here to kingdom come

When he lead me out of danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
And when I got back to my HQ I told then about my night
And the battle I spent with a big marine named Camouflage

When I said his name a soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm
And lead me to a green tent on the right
He said 'You may be telling true boy, but this here is Camouflage'
'And he's been right here since he passed away last night'
'In fact he's been here all week long'

But before he went he said 'Semperfy' and said his only wish
Was to save a young marine caught in a mirage
So here, take his Tog Tags son. I know he wants you to have it now
And we both said a prayer for a big marine named Camouflage

Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Wooh oh oh oh Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine

Wooh oh Camouflage
Wooh oh Camouflage
Wooh oh Camouflage
Wooh oh Camouflage
Wooh oh Camouflage
Wooh oh Camouflage

The boy in the bubble [Paul Simon]

It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry

It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry

It's a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-T-Ta-T-T-Ta-Ta-Ta...
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable

It's our occupation, we're a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why

Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-T-Ta-T-T-Ta-Ta-Ta...
Taking chances, bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conversation is interrogation
Get out of here, we just don't have the time

Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-T-Ta-T-T-Ta-Ta-Ta...
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)

Hesitation is just frustration
Give us the music and we're all right
On each occasion, for your information
We can look after ourselves all right

Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-T-Ta-T-T-Ta-Ta-Ta...
Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)

Fascination is our sensation
We like to put ourselves on the line
Recreation is our destination
So don't wait up for us tonight

Take or leave us, only please believe us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)
Like us, hate us, but you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable (Respectable)

Take or leave us, only please believe us...

The latest controversial in the Caribbean, ladies and gentlemen

Searching in my mind there's only two things I can find
I have one desire and that's to dance until you drop
Stare into your eyes there's only two things I can find
You have one desire and that's to dance until you drop

Boops, by definition
Who is one who wants to lose ????
???? everybody a chance

He thinks he's got class
They think he's an ass
Behind his back they get the last laugh

Stare into your eyes there's only two things I can find
You have one desire and that's to dance until you drop

Bass. The final frontier
