“You Belong with Me” is a country pop song performed by American recording artist Taylor Swift. The song was co-written by Swift and Liz Rose and produced by Nathan Chapman with Swift’s aid. It was released on April 21, 2009 by Big Machine Records as the third single from Swift’s second studio album, Fearless. Swift was inspired to write “You Belong with Me” after overhearing a male friend of hers arguing with his girlfriend through phone call; she continued to develop a story line afterward. The song contains many pop music elements and its lyrics have Swift desiring an out-of-reach love interest. info from Wikipedia!

“Telephone” is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga from her second studio album The Fame Monster, featuring American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles. Gaga originally wrote “Telephone” for Britney Spears, however plans did not go through, and Gaga recorded the song herself, with Beyoncé as the featured vocalist. The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga’s fear of suffocation. The lyrics portray the singer as preferring the dance floor, rather than answer her lover’s phone calls. Gaga explained that the telephone addressed in the lyrics of the song, is in reality a person telling her to continue working harder. Musically, the song consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and an epilogue where the line is disconnected. Knowles appears in the middle of the song with the verses being sung in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats.

Just one day after Gorillaz were named Coachella’s closing night headliner, “Stylo,” the first single off the cartoon band’s upcoming third album Plastic Beach, leaked out into the blogosphere. Gorillaz’s Murdoc Niccals wrote on his Twitter page, “A leak! A leak! Plastic Beach has sprung a leak! One of those Russian pirates has put a bullet hole in my island! My single’s leaked! STYLO!” The first single features R&B singer Bobby Womack’s trademark croon on the chorus, as well as rapper Mos Def, who will join Gorillaz as an animated character named “Sun Moon Stars” on Plastic Beach. “Stylo” will officially be released on January 26th, with Plastic Beach to follow on March 9th.

In summer 1962, seventeen-year-old keyboardist Booker T. Jones, twenty-year-old guitarist Steve Cropper, bass player Lewie Steinberg, and Al Jackson Jr., a drummer making his debut with the company, were in the Memphis studio to back up former Sun Records star Billy Lee Riley. During downtime, the four started playing around with a bluesy little organ ditty reminiscent of Ray Charles. Jim Stewart, the president of Stax Records, liked what he heard and hit the “record” button. He liked the finished product enough to want to release it.^[9] Cropper remembered a riff that Jones had come up with weeks earlier and before long, they had a second song.

Stewart wanted to release the single with the first song, titled “Behave Yourself”, as the A-side and the second song as the B-side. Steve Cropper and radio disc jockeys thought otherwise; soon, Stax released Booker T. & the M.G.’s’ “Green Onions” backed with “Behave Yourself”. In conversation with BBC Radio 2′s Johnnie Walker, on his show broadcast on September 7, 2008, Steve Cropper revealed that the record became an instant success when DJ Reuben Washington, at Memphis radio station WLOK, played it four times in succession, this even before the tune or the band had an agreed name.

The single went to number one on the R&B charts and number three on the Pop charts and is now considered one of the most important riffs in rock history. It is featured in countless movies/trailers including a pivotal scene in the motion picture American Graffiti and on TV every year.

“The Logical Song” was a hit on its original release, reaching number 7 in the United Kingdom, number 6 in the United States and spent two weeks at number 1 on the Canadian RPM Singles Chart for two weeks.

The lyrics are a “story of innocence and idealism lost” with Hodgson condemning an education system not focused on knowledge and sensitivity.

The song tells the story of a man who:

• is taken away from the unspoilt immediacy of childhood (When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical),
• undergoes education (but then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical),
• sees a future prepared for him lacking any spontaneity of reaction (And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical),
• feels constricted in his freedom of speech (Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal),
• is put under pressure to conform (Won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable)
• and ends up confused, without a coherent self-image (please tell me who I am).
