Dis ah no mystery check the history

Cheerleader song make the world sing along
Now Samantha J pon the remix
Me a di a di girl in the tight up skirt
But Omi call me cheerleader
Pompoms in my hand when I’m singing this song
Omi make me turn up the speaker

Say oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She’s always right there when I need her
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She’s always right there when I need her

When I need motivation, my one solution
Is my queen cause she stay strong yeah yeah
She’s always in my corner right there when I want her
All these other girls are tempting but I’m empty when you’re gone
And they say
Do you need me
Do you think I’m pretty
Do I make you feel like cheating
I’m like no not really (nuh uh)

Cause oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She’s always right there when I need her
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She’s always right there when I need her

If it’s wrong I don’t care I’m a right this
Thinks you do have me flying the highest
Say whatever what you want call me like it
For the haters out there, you can bite this
You gotta know how to
Walk like a model, talk like a model
Call me Ms. Jamaica because I’m a model
Been looking like say I won the lotto
Everywhere I go, got them off there singing like

Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

She gives me love and affection
Baby did I mention
You’re the only girl for me
No I don’t need no next one
Mama loves you too
She thinks I made the right selection
All that’s left to do is just for me to pop the question

Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

Happy – Pharrell Williams

 Like the song says, it’s a beautiful, happy energy song.  A great song to learn and teach.

“Happy” – Pharrell Williams

[Verse 1:]
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way

{Uh}

[Chorus:]
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

[Verse 2:]
Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don’t waste your time
Here’s why

[Chorus]

{Hey
Go
Uh}

[Bridge:]
(Happy)
Bring me down
Can’t nothing
Bring me down
My level’s too high
Bring me down
Can’t nothing
Bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can’t nothing
Bring me down
My level’s too high
Bring me down
Can’t nothing
Bring me down
I said

[Chorus x2]

{Hey
Go
Uh}

(Happy) [repeats]
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down… my level’s too high…
Bring me down… can’t nothing…
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

[Chorus x2]

{Hey
C’mon}

Break it down – Tears For Fears

Tears for fears are another wonderful band full of good energy.

Break it down – Tears For Fears

Break it down again
So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse
When it’s all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound
It’s in the way you’re always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won’t stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down
Break it down again
So these are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force
When it’s all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound
” No sleep for dreaming” say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won’t stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down
Horsin’ around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won’t simmer won’t simmer, won’t simmer down
Play to the crowd
Play to the crowd
Play yeah yeah
It’s in the way you’re always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again
Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming

Feel It In My Bones- Tiësto feat. Tegan And Sara

Feel It In My Bones- Tiësto feat. Tegan And Sara

Blow by blow.
I didn’t see it coming.
Blow by blow.
Sucker punch.

Rushes in.

You are here to stay.

What rushes in to my heart and my skull,
I can’t control. Think about it, feel it in my bones.
What rushes in to my heart and my skull,
I can’t control.

I feel you in my bones.
(Feel… you… in… my… bones…)
You’re knocking at my window.
(I feel you in my bones…)
You’re slow to letting me go.
I know this feeling oh so,
this feeling in my bones.

Left hook.
I didn’t see it coming.
Left hook.
You’ve got dead aim.

Rushes out.
Run away.
Rushes out.
You always run away.

What rushes in to my heart and my skull,
I can’t control. Think about it, feel it in my bones.
What rushes in to my heart and my skull,
I can’t control.

I feel you in my bones.
(Feel… you… in… my… bones…)
You’re knocking at my window.

You’re slow to letting me go.
I know this feeling oh so,
this feeling in my bones.

I feel you in my bones.
(Feel… you… in… my… bones…)
You’re knocking at my window.
(I feel you in my bones…)
You’re slow to letting me go.
I know this feeling oh so,
this feeling in my bones.

I feel it in my bones.
At night my skull feels… (pressure).
I feel it (pressure) in my bones (pressure).
I feel it in my skull.

I feel you in my bones.
(Feel… you… in… my… bones…)
You’re knocking at my window.
(I feel you in my bones…)
You’re slow to letting me go.
I know this feeling oh so,
this feeling in my bones.

I take a breath. Take a breath…
with me. Blow by blow.
Take a break. Take a break…
from me. You are here to stay.

I take my heart out of my chest,
I just don’t need it any more.
Take my head out of the game,
I just don’t need it any more.

Take a breath. Take a breath…
with me. Blow by blow.
Take a break. Take a break…
from me. You are here to stay.

I take my heart out of my chest,
I just don’t need it any more.
Take my head out of the game,

Closer – Tegan and Sara

I’m pretty sure these are my favorite female singers in a long time! Damn they are good. What sweet harmony and energy right?

Closer – Tegan and Sara

All I want to get is a little bit closer
All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?

Here comes the breath before we get a little bit closer
Here comes the rush before we touch, come a little closer

The doors are open, the wind is really blowing
The night sky is changing overhead

It’s not just all physical
I’m the type who won’t get oh so critical
So let’s make things physical
I won’t treat you like you’re oh so typical
I won’t treat you like you’re oh so typical

All you think of lately is getting underneath me
All I dream of lately is how to get you underneath me

Here comes the heat before we meet a little bit closer
Here comes the spark before the dark, come a little closer

The lights are off and the sun is finally setting
The night sky is changing overhead

It’s not just all physical
I’m the type who won’t get oh so critical
So let’s make things physical
I won’t treat you like you’re oh so typical

I want you close, I want you
I won’t treat you like you’re typical
I want you close, I want you
I won’t treat you like you’re typical

Here come the dreams of you and me
Here come the dreams
Here come the dreams of you and me
Here come the dreams

It’s not just all physical
I’m the type who won’t get oh so critical
So let’s make things physical
I won’t treat you like you’re oh so typical

I want you close, I want you
I won’t treat you like you’re typical
I want you close, I want you
I won’t treat you like you’re typical

I won’t treat you like you’re typical
I won’t treat you like you’re typical

All I want to get is a little bit closer
All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?

Tug of War – Carly Rae Jepsen

This is actually my favorite Carly Rae Jepsen song.  It’s a super easy song on the guitar too. Just A, D, E.  If I was a girl, I’d be playing it!

Tug of War – Carly Rae Jepsen

You seem too good
Too good to be true
You’re holding me stronger
Stronger than I’m used to

Don’t go out with the boys tonight
I won’t sleep a wink
Wondering what you’re doing
Don’t go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
[Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing}
[Radio] Wondering what you’re proving

You seem to good
To good to be true
I’m loving you longer
Longer than I’m used to

Don’t go out with the boys tonight
I won’t sleep a wink
Wondering what you’re doing
I don’t go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
[Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing}
[Radio] Wondering what you’re proving

[2x]
Tug of war
Sweet as sin
I let go
I fell in
Feel the pull
Call your name
I’m alone
Once again

[Album] {You seem, you seem too good
Too good to be true
You’re holding me stronger
Stronger than I’m used to}

Don’t go out with the boys tonight
I won’t sleep a wink
Wondering what you’re doing
Don’t go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
Wondering what you’re proving.

Tug of war
Sweet as sin
I let go
I fell in
Feel the pull
Call your name
I’m alone
Once again

Tug of war (Don’t go out with the boys tonight)
Sweet as sin (You seem too good)
I let go (Too good to be true)
I fell in
Feel the pull (Don’t go out with the girls tonight) (I’m loving you longer)
Call your name (I will turn to drink)
I’m alone
Once again (Longer than I’m used to)

Tug of war (Don’t go out with the boys tonight)
Sweet as sin (You seem too good)
I let go (Too good to be true)
I fell in
Feel the pull (Don’t go out with the girls tonight) (You seem too good)
Call your name (I will turn to drink)
I’m alone
Once again (Too good to be true)

(Tug of war)
(Feel the pull) (Don’t go out with the boys tonight)
(Tug of war)
(Feel the pull)

With a little help from my friends – Beatles

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs because it’s such a happy and fun song to play with my friends, literally.  This is a great song to jam on.

With a little help from my friends – Beatles

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you’re on your own?)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I just need someone to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

A Day In the Life – Beatles

A lot of people argue that this is the best Beatles song ever! I have to agree with them.  It’s pure genius I think.  I get a feeling from this song that is so deep it almost scares me. I feel haunted my John Lennon literally!

A Day In the Life – Beatles

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I’d love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on

Riders on the Storm – Doors

This is older music from the late 60’s.  But wow! What a futuristic sound and did you ever hear a piano sound more like raindrops before?  The Doors have many great songs.  Check them out!

Riders on the Storm – Doors

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There’s a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
