You and I s lyric video is quite a saucy one, with a female dancer showcasing the words, as well as shots of - where else? - Miami, Pitbull's place of residence. Have fun watching the lyric video for "Timber" on VEVO below: it's going down!

Canadian rock icons Barenaked Ladies are known for writing the theme song to one of TV's most popular shows, The Big Bang Theory, and CBS's series Eye On Music sat down with the band to learn more about about the song came together. The group's singer and co-founder, Ed Robertson, revealed that the inspiration behind writing the track came from Simon Singh's book Big Bang, and the lyrics came to him when they were playing a show in LA and he improvised them onstage. The Big Bang Theory's creators just happened to be in the audience for the gig, and decided right there and then that Barenaked Ladies needed to be the writers of their developing show's theme.

The band was already being considered to write the theme song because of how they pack so many lyrics into one line in a matter of seconds. Just take a look at one of their best hits, "One Week": it's almost a rap, the words are sung so fast!
The 40th Annual People's Choice Awards are going down on CBS on Wednesday, Jan. 8th, and the full list of nominees have just been announced. Naturally, over here at MetroLyrics we're stoked to see all the musical acts that are up for awards. Leading the pack is Katy Perry, who's up for five awards, and it makes sense since 2013 was a huge year for the pop star. But who else made the cut in the PCAs? Have a look at the full musical nominees below:
We first got to know Madison Beer when she shared her My Musical Mind survey with us, which helped us learn that she's a Rihanna fan and needs nothing but positive energy while in the recording studio. Discovered by Schoolboy

    Count Basie

    • 5 Pages

    Moten 's death in 1935 altered Basie 's career dramatically. He took over the band and they called themselves The Barons of Rhythm. Later on, with some financial and promotional support from John Hammond, these musicians formed the first Count Basie Orchestra. Within a year or so the band had developed its own variation of the basic Kansas City swing style which displayed a solid rhythm enhancing the horn soloists. Familiar pattern is evident in the band 's theme song, "One O 'Clock Jump," written by Basie himself in 1937, which has a soft introduction by the rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass, and drums), then bursts into full orchestral…

    For the past couple of years, there seems to a new subject that is engulfing social circles, the internet, and the news. It seems as if citizens have discovered the 1%, or America’s richest individuals. Some have dismissed these reports as inflated statistics, greatly exaggerated and that an individual cannot own that much money. In reality, America is very much controlled by a wealthy elite, as explained by Mike Lofgren in his article “Revolt of the Rich”. Lofgren proposes that the wealthy elite in America are transitioning into separating themselves from the common population.…

    Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air. These are the opening lines to the intro song of the television comedy “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, that me and every 90’s kids with a TV has had memorized since the day we first heard it. Even as you read that first sentence, you can’t help but to rap the words, and hum the tune as you envision a young Will Smith spinning on his royal chair with the graffiti background. The effect of the lyrics and the music video to this intro song goes way beyond pure entertainment value. The music video and lyrics spread happiness, smiles, and even helped to usher in a new generation of kids with the carefree fresh prince mindset.…

    The Millionaire Next Door

    • 892 Words
    • 4 Pages

    This book focuses on the fact that you must earn your wealth and not inherit wealth. I always believed most millionaires became wealthy by inheriting their wealth one way or another. But the truth is that 80% of millionaires earned their wealth by working hard and only 20% inherited their wealth. When people actually earn the wealth they accumulate, they never want to let that go. That means most millionaires live well below their means. In general, millionaires are frugal. Not only do they self-identify as frugal, they actually live the life. They take extraordinary steps to save money. They don’t live lavish lifestyles. They’re willing to pay for quality, but not for image. The people that end up losing their wealth are the ones who spend to look cool. These are the people that buy the massive SUVs just to show off. They spend money just so other people know they have money, and this is how they end up…

    Tom Petty

    He wrote this song from his real life experiences or his close friends as he does all of his songs it seems. I believe that makes him unique from many artists that just sing lyrics someone else wrote. Runnin’ Down a Dream provides a very up tempo beat that can lift crowds out of their seats. When you listen to this song you can’t help but to dream of success, and also realize the pathway to success can be bumpy, if you will. The song also tells you that in order to make his dreams come true he had to run them down. Dreams don’t just come to you have to go get them, which I believe is an excellent message.…
