Playing a Burning Piano!


Love to play piano? Would you like to play a burning piano? I thank that you will never want to do that. But one person actually did this. Yosuke Yamashita (66), a Japanese jazz pianist played a burning piano in Ishikawa Prefecture, western Japan. He amazed about 500 spectators by playing the piano for full ten minutes before all the strings were burnt out or snapped and the piano went quiet.

For pretection, Yamashita was wearing a firefighter's uniform. This performance was a reproduction of a scene from the 1973 movie "Burning Piano". In the movie also, Yamashita played the burning piano.

"I did not think I was risking my life but I was almost suffocating from the smoke that was continuously getting into my eyes and nose. I had decided to keep on playing until the piano stopped making sounds, so though I did not mean it but it ended up having a life-or-death battle between the piano and myself," said Mr Yamashita.

'Gotta Digg' - Digg it!



Are you a Digger? Do you love Digg.Com? If yes, you must watch this video "Gotta Digg". It is a nice song by Kina Granis. Watch it, love it and vote for her!

The Lyrics:
When I'm feeling lazy, at school or when I work
I sneak to my computer, and then I like to shirk
I don't go online shopping, I don't email with my mom
I open up my browser, and go to digg-dot-com

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server's down!

I always dig up Apple, and I bury Microsoft
But when I said I was a girl, all the diggers scoffed
And when I see those stories about Senator Ron Paul
I don't even RTFA; I just digg them all!

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server's down!

The fanboys can be tiresome, they always are outspoken
And if you're listening Kevin Rose, the comment system's broken!
I know digg isn't perfect, but be thankful for what we've got
It's just like daddy always says: "At least it's not Slashdot!!!"
Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server's down!

Beyonce sued again for 'Baby Boy'



Last week, a panel of US Federal Court judges heard the appeal case of Jennifer Armour, who is alleging that the singer Beyonce used her lyrics in her hit song, 'Baby Boy'. According to Jennifer Armour, Beyonce took the lyrics from her own song, 'Got a Little Bit of Love For You'.

In the original trial, the judge ruled in Beyonce's favour stating that the two songs were "substantially dissimilar". But, Armour’s attorney Dana Kirk said that the case should be resurrected since a jury hearing was not conducted and also that an expert analysis shows that Beyonce Knowles’ upbeat ‘Baby Boy’ had similarities with her client’s demo. So, the case now continues in a three day trial which will be heard in the New Orleans-based 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

Watch the popular 'Baby Boy' video:

Candle in the Wind 1997




This is a video of the famous song 'Candle In The Wind 1997' or 'Goodbye England's Rose'. This song was specially performed by Elton John at the funeral of Princess Diana. The song peaked at number one in the UK becoming John's fourth number one single. It also peaked at number one in most other countries. As of 2007, it is the world's best-selling single in history stated in The Guinness Book of Records 2007.

The Lyrics of Candle in the Wind 1997:

Goodbye England's Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
And you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
And the stars spell out your name.

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind:
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
Along England's greenest hills;
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will.

Loveliness we've lost;
These empty days without your smile.
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child.
And even though we try,
The truth brings us to tears;
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years.

Goodbye England's Rose,
From a country lost without your soul,
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know.

No 50 Cent Song?



No more solo from 50 Cent? Rapper 50 Cent has pulled out of the MOBOs and other European dates a day after he was beaten to the top of the chart by rival Kanye West. Earlier, the star had vowed to retire as a solo artist if Kanye outsold him. Yesterday, Kanye West went straight in at number one in the album chart with his latest offering, Graduation. And 50 Cent only managed the second spot with his record, Curtis.

Both albums were released on the same day and the rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - vowed in an interview:

"If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums." Link

So, what will happen to the 50 Cent fans? No more new solo from the 'In Da Club' rapper?

Sea can Play Organ



Do you know that sea waves can play a pipe organ? Take a look at the pictures. This sturecture was made specially for the sea waves! Sorry! This is an musical instrument. On the shores of Zadar, Croatia, this musical instrument produces beautiful tunes, when sea waves touches it. All total of 35 musically tuned tubes and the movement of the sea are the main players of this incredible thing.

The musical Sea Organ (morske orgulje) is located on the shores of Zadar, Croatia, and is the world’s first musical pipe organs that is played by the sea. Simple and elegant steps, carved in white stone, were built on the quayside. Underneath, there are 35 musically tuned tubes with whistle openings on the sidewalk. The movement of the sea pushes air through, and – depending on the size and velocity of the wave – musical chords are played. The waves create random harmonic sounds. Link

First Russian Music CD




These pictures shows the "First Russian CD". This was the first CD produced by a Russian music company called “Melodia”. The cover was printed both in English and Russian language because it was mainly manufactured for export. In Russia common people didn’t have CD players untill mid 90s, so it was obvious that during late 80s there were no Russian Music CDs. So, nobody in Russia was in need of these CDs from "Melodia"!

Mozart's Secret Composition



You may not believe this, but it is true that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote a song tited "Lick me in the Ass". Mozart’s widow, Constanze Mozart, sent the manuscripts to publishers Breitkopf & Härtel in 1799, saying that they would need to be adapted for publication. So, the publisher changed the titles and lyrics to the more acceptable to - "Laßt froh uns sein" ("Let us be glad!"). The original, unbowdlerized manuscript and lyrics were discovered in 1991, with the manuscript for another Mozart work, "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber" ("Lick me in the arse nice and clean", K233; K382d in the revised numbering), although later research has indicated that the latter composition is probably the work of Wenzel Trnka (1739-1791).

The lyrics goes like this:
Lick me in the ass!
Let us be glad!
Grumbling is in vain!
Growling, droning is in vain,
is the true bane of life,
Droning is in vain,
Growling, droning is in vain, in vain!
Thus let us be cheerful and merry, be glad!

Church of Desire



Church of Desire by Bon Jovi
Album: Richie Sambora: Stranger In This Town

Woke up in a cold sweat
In the middle of the night
Seems like a lifetime
When you're wondering who's wrong or right
One confession would resurrect the truth
Revenge or forgiveness for sins between me and you

Now we dance with the devil down lonely
street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire

You never find a reason why love falls from grace
Some kind of voodoo, like a spirit you can't embrace
There's a voice in the mirror, and a ghost in my heart
That relives the passion before we were torn apart

Now we dance with the devil down lonely
street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire

Now we dance with the devil down lonely
street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire

You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another,
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me
and I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standing there

Yeah, well since I saw her standing there

Watch the video here:


Lyrics of I'll Be There For You

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love it's suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

[Solo]

And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

Big Yellow Taxi lyrics:


They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees - please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing,
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
