Stuck On You by Dave Matthews/Elvis Presley

Saw this on TV as part of an Elvis tribute video that was broadcasted as part of the release of the ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits album. I was never a Dave Matthews fan then, not a big fan up to now, but there's just something with the lyric of the song ( (I'm gonna stick like glue) that "stuck" on me.

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- sugar,
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue,
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you

Gonna run my fingers thru your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh,
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts
A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart

Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh,uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Pocketful of Rainbows By Elvis Presley

I discovered this song today, while Astrud and I were doing some travel plans. I put my iPod on shuffle and this song was one of the songs that made an impression. I liked it enough to say that this is the song for today, ranking over Tears for Fears' Woman in Chain (which Astrud and I danced to) and Pupil's sa Dulo ng Dila. I guess it's really hard to top an Elvis Song. 

I don't worry
Whenever skies are gray above
Got a pocketful of rainbows
Got a heart full of love

Mister Heartache
I've found a way to make him leave
Got a pocketful of rainbows
Got a star up in my sleeve

Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness
For a lonely night, aye
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

No more teardrops
Now that I've found a love so true
I got a pocketful of rainbows
Got an armful of you

Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness
For a lonely night, aye
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

No more teardrops
Now that I've found a love so true
Got a pocketful of rainbows
And an armful of you

Rainbows...
Rainbows...

Scooter Boy by Mojofly

Originally, I dismissed this song as a Avril Lavigne, Skater Boy rip-off. It would be years until I realized how great a song it really is. (I'll be honest, Kitchie Nadal getting famous and being really pretty helped in getting to understand this song i guess)

Walang ginawa kungdi mag TV-babad
Nang-gagago ng tao sa telepono hanggang umaga
Linggo na't di pa sya nag sisimba
Umiipon na ang kanyang mga sala

Nang-klepto pa ng marijuana ng galing Baguio
Nakipagsuntukan sa tabi ng Bicutan
Pero nahuli lang sya habang nangugupit sa Ayala

Scooter Boy, Nasan Ka?
Scooter Boy, Nasan Ka?
Scooter Boy

Saksakan ng utang sa may karinderia
May kotse sa garahe, pero walang pang gasolina
Di maiwasan di mapagalitan sa bisyong di matanggap ng magulang

Nang-klepto pa ng marijuana ng galing Baguio
Nakipagsuntukan sa tabi ng Bicutan
Pero nahuli lang sya hbang nangugupit sa Ayala

Scooter Boy, Nasan Ka?
Scooter Boy, Nasan Ka?
Scooter Boy


Bawat klase niya ay tinutulugan 
Pumapasok lang hangat umabot sa attendance
Matinik sa chicks sobrang pilyo pero bobo
Pagdating sa kalokohan siya ang number 1
Di paiiwan

Scooter Boy, Nasan Ka?
Scooter Boy, Nasan Ka?
Scooter Boy 

What You Do About Me by M2M

This song brings me back to my college days, when life had its share of problems... but we had M2M on MTV, so it was all OK.

I wish that I was her and I wish that she was me
You gotta let her go, and I know that you agree

Because how could this ever start?
If you're afraid to break her heart?
You say you love me so
You have to let her go

All that she wants is you
All that she sees is you
All that you gotta do
It's to set her free
That's what
That's what
What you do about me

Love's not an easy thing
Always somebody gets hurt
I know you were meant for me, even though she saw you first
But deal with her honestly
I won't let you cheat with me
I bet you never knew
What you got yourself into

All that she wants is you
All that she sees is you
All that you gotta do
It's to set her free
That's what
That's what
What you do about me

We could beautiful
We could be so special
We could be wonderful

All that I want is you
All that I see is you
and All that you gotta do
It's to set her free
That's what
That's what
What you do about me

All that she wants is you
All that she sees is you
All that you gotta do
It's to set her free
That's what
That's what
What you do about me

Sugar Kane by Sonic Youth

I believe I first heard of this song via the End of Days soundtrack which my brother Augy brought home for one reason and one reason only. The soundtrack  "Oh My God", the first Guns 'N Roses song to come-out of Axl's heavily revamped GNR lineup. While that song was good in it's own way, one of this Sonic Youth song was the song that really made an impression on me (the album contained songs from other bands like I liked by the way... Korn, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Eminem, etc.)

It would be years when I would encounter a copy of Sonic Youth's own album, Dirty, which has a sock-puppet pictured on the cover. My own copy would be literally dirty... smudged and frazzled edges in the inlays,  as it was a used copy that I bought at a 2nd hand store in Quiapo.

I tried to learn this song today on bass as well. Sometimes I still can't believe how great songs like this can be created out of 3 guitar chords that I learned as a 4th grade kid (C, D, G). 

You're perfect in the way, a perfect end today
You're burning out their lights, and burning in their eyes
I love you Sugar Kane, a-comin' from the rain
Oh kiss me like a frog, and turn me into flame
I love you all the time, I need you 8 to 9
And I can stay all night, your body shining

And I know
There's something down there sugar soul
Back to the cross a twisted lane
There something down there sugar kane

I'm back again in love, I'm back again a dove
Where'd you get your light, your smilin' sugar life
Another lovers day, another cracked up night
Every night I say, the light is coming

And I know
There's something down there sugar cone
Back to the cross a twisted lane
There's something down there sugar kane

Hey angel come and play, and fly me away
A stroll along the beach, until you're out of time
I love you sugar kane, a crack into the dream
I love you sugar kane, I love you sugar kane
I love you sugar kane, I love you sugar kane
I love you sugar kane, I love you sugar

Good Time by Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen

Hey, I'm an equal opportunity guy, and this song is jumping and so happy it's difficult to resist to dance to it. I'm not big on Owl City, but synth sounds are always welcome to my ears. This song definitely lives up to it's name. I came across this song from youtube, while searching for something I can no longer remember, maybe a search for Carly Rae Jepsen. Somehow I think she's cute too.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there
Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
