"Surfin' USA" - The Beach Boys

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd see them wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
A bushy bushy blond hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Ventura County line
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Santa Cruz and Trestles
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Australia's Narrabeen
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
All over Manhattan
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
And down Doheny Way
(Inside, outside)

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Haggerties and Swamis
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Pacific Palisades
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
San Onofre and Sunset
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Redondo Beach LA
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
All over La Jolla
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
At Wa'imea Bay
(Inside, outside)

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Yeah everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Yeah everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

“I Want It That Way” - The Backstreet Boys

Yeah

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I your fire?
Your one desire
Yes, I know it's too late
But I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance, I want you to know
That deep down inside of me

You are my fire
The one desire
You are (you are, you are, you are)
Don't wanna hear you say

Ain't nothin' but a heartache (hey, yeah)
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say, yeah)
I want it that way

'Cause I want it that way

“I Will Never Let You Down” - Rita Ora

Tell me baby what we're gonna do
I'll make it easy, got a lot to lose
Watch the sunlight, coming through
Open the window, let it shine on you

'Cause I've been sick and working all week
And I've been doing just fine (Hey)
You've been tired of watching me
Forgot to have a good time, boy (Hey)
You can't take it, all these faces
Never keeping it real
I know exactly how you feel

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down
When you feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

Oh, oh
I will never let you down
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

There's a million ways to go
Don't be embarrassed if you lose control
On the rooftop, now they know
Your body's frozen and you lost your soul

'Cause I've been sick and working all week
And I've been doing just fine (Hey)
You've been tired of watching me
Forgot to have a good time, boy (Hey)
You can't take it, all these faces
Never keeping it real (Yeah, yeah)
I know exactly how you feel

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down
When you feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

Oh, oh
I will never let you down
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

Let me take you where you never go
Have a little fun, it's the only way we know
Let me show you what you never see
You know how to love, only when you holding me (Oh)

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down (Oh)
When you feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
Oh, oh
I will never let you down (Oh)

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down (Oh)
When you feeling low love
I'll be what you dreaming of
I will never let you down

“Brazil” - Declan McKenna

I heard you sold the Amazon
To show the country that you're from
Is where the world should want to be
For a fine something all people need
I'm faithless now, though we win every time and I don't know how
'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me
But the people are dying to, to get on TV

I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
Oh, Lord

What have I become?
I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
I'm not what you think you see
I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
I've got a mission and my mission is real
'Cause you've had your chances, yeah, you've had enough
I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
And it gets me down
Oh, Lord, how it gets me down

I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord

I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while out in Brazil
'Cause it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? (Oh, yeah)

I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me

I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
(And that was my triple collateral on Free-for-All)

“Pink Pony Club” - Chappell Roan

I know you wanted me to stay
But I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in L.A.
And I heard that there's a special place
Where boys and girls can all be queens every single day

I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee
Hear Santa Monica, I swear it's callin' me
Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream

"God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl, and you dance at the club"
Oh, mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong, down at the

Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
Pink Pony Club

I'm up and jaws are on the floor
Lovers in the bathroom and a line outside the door
Black lights and a mirrored disco ball
Every night's another reason why I left it all

I thank my wicked dreams, a year from Tennessee
Oh, Santa Monica, you've been too good to me
Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene
She sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream

"God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl, and you dance at the club"
Oh, mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong, down at the

Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
Pink Pony Club

Don't think I've left you all behind
Still love you and Tennessee, you're always on my mind
And, mama, every Saturday
I can hear your Southern drawl a thousand miles away, saying

"God, what have you done?
You're a pink pony girl, and you dance at the club"
Oh, mama, I'm just having fun
On the stage in my heels
It's where I belong, down at the

Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
I'm gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood
I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club
Pink Pony Club

I'm gonna keep on dancing
I'm gonna keep on dancing

“Hey Soul Sister” - Train

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind

Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny

I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of

You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact, there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey, tonight
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey (tonight)

Hey, hey, tonight
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey (tonight)

“Alone In The Universe” - from “Seusical”

I've been guarding this clover
For over a week, getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak

Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind
For I have found something
That they'll never find

There are secrets on a leaf
In the water, in the air
Hidden planets, tiny worlds, all invisible

Not a person seems to know
Not a person seems to care
There is no one who believes a thing I say

Well, I'm fairly certain
At one time or other
Great thinkers all feel this way

I'm alone in the universe
So alone in the universe
I've found magic but they don't see it

They all call me a lunatic
Okay, call me a lunatic
If I stand on my own, so be it

'Cause I have wings
Yes, I can fly around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon I know there you'll be

One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me

I'm alone in the universe
So alone in the universe
My own planets and stars are glowing
Alone in the universe

No one notices anything
Not one person is listening
They don't have any way of knowing

Nobody knows that
I have wings, I have wings
And I can fly, I can fly
Around the moon and far beyond the sky

Well, someday soon you will hear my plea
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Please believe in me

Hello, hello?
Hello?
Who's there?
It's me, Jojo, the Mayor's son
I'm Horton, the Elephant

Are you real or are you a very large think?
Oh, I'm real, alright, I would state that in ink
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things
And I go to strange places, as if I had wings
I love a good think

Well, for me that goes double
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble
When you think, do you dream?
In bright colors

Me too and I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew
When you think, do you think you can fly to the stars?
Ah, little friend, no one else could have thinks such as ours

Yes, I have wings, I have wings
And I can fly, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky

You called my name and you set me free
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me

Goodnight, Jojo
Goodnight, Horton
See you in Solla Sollew

“Tears Are Not Enough” - Northern Lights

As every day goes by
How can we close our eyes
Until we open up our hearts

We can learn to share
And show how much we care
Right from the moment that we start

Seems like overnight
We see the world in a different light
Somehow our innocence is lost

How can we look away
'Cause every single day
We've got to help at any cost

We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't ya know that tears are not enough

If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough

It's up to me and you
To make the dream come true
It's time to take our message everywhere

C'est l'amour qui nous rassemble
D'ici ? l'autre bout du monde
Let's show them Canada still cares
You know that we'll be there

If we should try together you and I
Maybe we could understand the reasons why
If we take a stand every woman, child and man
We can make it work for God's sake lend a hand
