LAMBADA by Kaoma

-
"Lambada", also known as "Chorando Se Foi (Lambada)" or "Llorando Se Fue (Lambada)" (both meaning 'crying [he/she] went away' in Portuguese and Spanish, respectively), is a song recorded by French-Brazilian pop group Kaoma. It featured guest vocals by Brazilian vocalist Loalwa Braz, and was released as the first single from Kaoma's debut album Worldbeat. The video, filmed on Cocos beach in the city of Trancoso, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, featured the Brazilian child duo Chico & Roberta.



The song in Portuguese was a mix cover of the 1986 hit "Chorando Se Foi" by Márcia Ferreira (with lyrics translated to Portuguese) and the Cuarteto Continental hit "Llorando Se Fue" (the first upbeat version of the song introducing the accordion), released in 1984 through the Peruvian record label INFOPESA and produced by Alberto Maravi; both songs were adapted from the 1981 Bolivian song "Llorando se fue" by Los Kjarkas.

At the time of release, "Lambada" was regarded as the most successful European single in the history of CBS Records, with sales of 1.8 million copies in France and more than 4 million across Europe. It is one of the greatest-selling singles of all time, having sold more than 5 million copies worldwide in 1989 alone. However, the Kaoma group did not credit the original song of the Kjarkas, turning their version into plagiarism and ending with a lawsuit that would be won by the original authors of the song, the Bolivian group.



LYRICS 

Chorando se foi quem um dia só me fez chorar Chorando se foi quem um dia só me fez chorar Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor Que um dia não soube cuidar Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor Que um dia não soube cuidar A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde for Dança sol e mar, guardarei no olhar O amor faz perder e encontrar Lambando estarei ao lembrar que esse amor Por um dia, um instante foi rei A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde for Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor Que um dia não soube cuidar Canção riso e dor, melodia de amor Um momento que fica no ar Dançando lambada

BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds

 BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds This song was inspired by the 1987 Enniskillen bombing, when a bomb planted by the IRA exploded during a Remembrance Day service at Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, killing 11 people and injuring at least 63. Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr explained to Q magazine in 1989: "In the second part of 'Belfast Child' I'm trying to relate to people in Northern Ireland who've also lost loved ones. I'm trying to talk about the madness and sadness and emptiness. I'm not saying I have any pearls of wisdom, but I have a few questions to ask. When I'm asked on American TV who my heroes are, rather than saying Lou Reed or Bob Dylan or someone who goes without saying, I say there are these people called Amnesty International and what they are doing I think is rather heroic. It only takes about 30 seconds."  The music is based on a traditional song alled "She Moved Through The Fair," which Jim Kerr hea...

Feels Like I'm in Love Song by Kelly Marie Ray Dorset, who was the lead vocalist for Mungo Jerry, wrote this for Elvis Presley, who was one of his idols. Unfortunately, Elvis' untimely death ruled this out and the song ended up as the B-side of a Mungo Jerry single released in France. In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Dorset explains: "I wrote Feels Like I'm In Love in 1977 with Elvis Presley in mind and even recorded it Elvis-style on my demo. My producer, Barry Murray, was about to send it to Elvis when he got a phone call saying Elvis had died. After that, I kinda put it to bed for a while. Kelly Marie had a few minor hits in France and had been hanging around our office a bit. I thought she had a good voice, so I asked her if she wanted to record the song." This was originally released 18 months earlier but it failed to chart. It then became a northern club hit before finally topping the UK charts. Kelly Marie was born Jacqueline McK...
