A very teeny-bopper idealistic song which will reach out to young girls who are trying to find their way in the world, with young boys that they can relate to. I say girls because the lyrics are very girly despite it’s sung by a boyband. However, I’m sure there are exceptions to...
1978 : Boney M – Brown Girl in the Ring (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
A song whose lyrics do not make any sense, I wonder if it was a direct translation of an old Jamaican children’s ring game cause that’s what it was. This tune was Boney M’s B-Side to “Rivers of Babylon”, and both were excellent tracks outright. I grew up dancing...
Sean Kingston featuring Nicki Minaj – Born To Be Wild (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
I’ve already prepared my top list of songs for 2011. I’m sure this would’ve made my Top 55 list simply because of its sampling of one of the best songs ever sang, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” by Robert John. Sean Kingston nicely infuses it into this track despite the...
Keshia Chante – Thunder (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Nice chorus, not sure about the lyrical content though – sounds a little immature. She should’ve spent more time polishing the corny lyrics before releasing the song. DOWNLOADÂ Keshia Chante – Thunder Mp3...
Nickelback – When We Stand Together (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The verse sounds like Nickelback’s poor attempt of copying their own melody from previous songs despite the slight redeeming factor in the chorus. The lyrics are kinda lame for this muttly-looking-poodle Chad Kroeger. It’s just too tepid for my liking, they can simply do better....
Casting Crowns – Wedding Day (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
This is easily Casting Crowns’ best song off their new album, “Come to the Well”. Although it’s not as memorable as “Who Am I” but the lyrics could just spur brides-to-be to have this song as part of their wedding. When someone dries your tears When someone...
1986 : MC Miker G & DJ Sven – Holiday Rap (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
Musically, the song used a sample from Madonna’s 1983 hit “Holiday”, with different lyrics and a melodious music. In the lyrics, both singers tell their summer vacations in various towns, such as London and New York. The song also featured the chorus of Cliff Richard’s...
Kelly Clarkson – Breaking Your Own Heart (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
Nice one Kelly. The lyrics perfectly compliments the tune and she strips away her angsty dislikes with a melancholic theme. The song asks you to break your fear else you’ll continue to break your heart taking it on a lonely road. A recommended track for Kelly Clarkson’s fans, and...
Alice Cooper featuring Kesha – What Baby Wants (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
This is taken off Alice Cooper’s new album, a surprising duet with Kesha of all people. I have to say that Alice Cooper has played his cards right on this one to rope in a present artist whose been successful to revive his music career, well, sort of. The chorus is catchy, the...
1966 : Wilson Pickett – Mustang Sally (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
The song’s really catchy, and sometimes I wonder what did the lyrics meant in terms of riding Sally. Take it at face value, it’s a song about a Mustang car named Sally and that’s about it. It is one of the most covered songs for local pub bands. Ride Sally Ride! DOWNLOAD 1966...
1989 : Arthur Baker featuring Al Green and the Backbeat Disciples – The Message is Love (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
This is a remix in terms of the beat and it’s one of my favorite songs ever written, and to me, arguably Arthur Baker’s best song. The lyrics are intertwined with its gospel delivery of the Backbeat Disciples. Songs like these are definitely hard to come by these days – a...
Shontelle – Reflection (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The eloquent lyrics powers the song through, reminding that you’re perfect just the way you are, as you have everything you need in your reflection. Some days we are down, some days we need pick-me-ups. There’s not a single human on planet earth that do not go through storms, and...
