Juan Formell Y Los Van Van – Me Mantengo

Juan Formell Y Los Van Van – Me Mantengo




Hey Juan!
Dice mi amigo Cucurucho que seguimos poniéndola,
Dando, pegándola y ahora... ahora...
Que no nos cambien la emisora!
Desde tiempos de antaño surgieron ritmos
Que ya causaron gran sensación.
Como fueron el Mambo, el Son, la Cumbia,
El Danzonete y el Charlestón.
Y así la gente se contagiaba con una música singular
Que con buen gusto, a todos llegaba,
Incitándolos a bailar.
Pero al pasar el tiempo todo fue cambiando y en la actualidad
Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ahora es mejor ni hablar!
Ahora es mejor... quedarse tranquilo
Por eso ahora con este Songo a todo el mundo quiero expresar
Que si! Que si! Que si!
Que si se puede bailar de todo sin ser tan burdo ni chabacán.
Que la alegría y la picardía
No se confundan en tu cantar
Con todo aquello que nada aporte
A nuestra música popular.
Ahora defiende todas tus tradiciones
No las traiciones, porque así...
Ya no podrán hablar.
Ya no, ya no, ya no
Ya no podrán hablar.
Tendrán que confiar, te van a respetar
Ya no podrán hablar.
Y ahora vengo como vengo,
Sigo ahí! Por eso me mantengo.
Y ahora vengo como vengo,
Tengo lo que tengo,
Sigo ahí! Por eso me mantengo.
Si a la gente le gusta
Si a la gente le encanta mi salsa!
Suave!
Mi música linda a la mamita y a toas las señoritas, si si
Ta buena pa bailar
Sigo ahí, sigo ahí, con mi música elegante,
Un poquitico picante
Y al final... no hay quien la aguante!
A todos mis amigos les digo:
Ay Dios! Por eso me mantengo
A mis hermanos, los que crecieron conmigo
El pueblo de Cuba ha sido testigo
De las tristezas y alegrías que he vivido.
Tu que no creías ay no...
Y ahora te veo rezando, pidiéndole a Dios!
Yo siempre estaba en tu preferencia y ahora
Que no me cambie la emisora.

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen


Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them

You're grown, so grown
Now I must say more than ever
(Come on Aileen)
Toora loora toora loo rye ay
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen


These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
So resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever

(Remember) Toora loora toora loo rye ay
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
Ah come on let's, take off everything
Pretty red dress, Eileen tell him yes
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
That pretty red dress, Eileen tell him yes
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please

Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
Now you have grown, now you have shown
Oh, Eileen

Said-
Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here change
I said toora loora, toora loo rye ay

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything
In that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty, on Eileen

Come on Eileen, whoa what he means
Oh oh oh
Ah come on, (Everything) ah, come on, ah, come on
In that dress, oh oh oh, I confess...

Oh, believe me, if all those endearing young charms
That I gaze on so fondly today
Were to suddenly leave you upflight in the night
Just like fairy gifts up in the sky

Kid Creole & the Coconuts - Stool Pigeon



Kid Creole & the Coconuts - Stool Pigeon



There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
And the maximum security
Even after plastic surgery
So go on and squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
After all the talk then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did in the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
So the FBI they rewarded him
Because they like a guy who will stab a friend
There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
There's a gentleman that's going round ....
If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
He got a spanking new identity
And a condo down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewelry
But he couldn't buy any company
There's a gentleman that's going round ....
There's a gentleman that's going round ....

Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful

Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful




Engine, engine number 9
On the new york transit line
If my train goes off the track
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up
