Shut up & Vote - Thermal & A Quarter

A Damn Good initiative by Thermal & A Quarter: It seems the Jaago Re! One Billion Vote campaign has organized a 5 city tour where TAAQ (One of Bangalore's and India's hottest bands - though i don't like their music too much) will be performing a couple of songs written for the great indian tamasha/ reality TV show of Indian General Elections so that youngsters like us can come out and vote...and as they say...'Vote because we have the dope, We are the Antidote'....

Lyrics of 'Shut up and Vote'


Walking man, waking up
It's never too late to shine
The seasons change, you re-arrange
Guess you're doing fine

You think you're cool, you've been to school
You know your rock n' roll

It's an easy twist, to make a fist,
Save your fingers from the cold...

Shut up and Vote
Shut up and Vote
You've got the dope, you're the antidote
Shut up and Vote
Shut up and Vote
You're so smart but you're running out of hope

It's all a mess, I must confess,
The system seems a joke
Should you make the steal, reinvent the wheel
Or simply go for broke?

Is it right, or is it left
They all give you a name
Are they clean, or are they clowns,
In the end, it's you, you're to blame

Shut up and Vote
Shut up and Vote
You've got the dope, you're the antidote
Shut up and Vote
Shut up and Vote
You're so smart but you're running out of hope

Something Stupid - Possibly the most romantic song sung...

Yes....as far as i am concerned, this takes the cake...and the girl too....

Possibly the most romantic of songs, it has been sung by the Great Great Entertainer called Frank Sinatra (Same Zodiac sign you see :-)) and his Daughter Nancy Sinatra....this is for those occasions when the words are about to tumble and the pianists are readying themselves to stand in a line...

Lyrics:

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that theres a chance
You wont be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: I love you

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though its just a line to you, for me its true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think Ill wait until the evening gets late
And Im alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: I love you
(I love you, I love you,...)

- A devout romantic :-)
