A snippet of the song plays over Chief Brody's radio in the second shark attack in Jaws, moments before Alex Kitner and Pippet the dog disappear beneath the waves.

Maybe I hang around here

A little more than I should

We both know I got somewhere else to go

But I got something to tell you

That I never thought I would

But I believe you really ought to know

I love you

I honestly love you

You don't have to answer

I see it in your eyes

Maybe it was better left unsaid

This is pure and simple

And you should realize

That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you

I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable

I'm not trying to make you anything at all

But this feeling doesn't come along everyday

And you shouldn't blow the chance

When you've got the chance to say

I love you

I honestly love you

If we both were born

In another place and time

This moment might be ending in a kiss

But there you are with yours

And here I am with mine

So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you

I honestly love you

I honestly love you.

Talk to me

Want my love

Talk to me

But not that stuff

You ain't get enough using my love

You call for me

Again I'll see

In the heat of the night

You lose control and sell your soul

I lose control in the heat of the night

It's much too late to leave the trade

But I can't stand it anymore

You lose your heart and sell your soul

I lose control in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night

Talk to me

Want my love

Talk to me

But not that stuff

Who's on my side losing my pride?

You call for me

Again I'll see

In the heat of the night

You lose control and sell your soul

I lose control in the heat of the night

It's much too late to leave the trade

But I can't stand it anymore

You lose your heart and sell your soul

I lose control in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night

In the heat of the night

You lose control and sell your soul

I lose control in the heat of the night

It's much too late to leave the trade

But I can't stand it anymore

You lose your heart and sell your soul

I lose control in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night

You lose control and sell your soul

It's much too late to leave the trade.

GENRE: NEW WAVE

YEAR: 1984

“Forever Young" is a song from German synthpop group Alphaville's 1984 debut album of the same name. The single was a strong hit in Scandinavia and in the European German-speaking countries in the same year.

Although it was not the group's highest-charting European hit, and it failed to reach the American top 40 despite three separate U.S. single releases (nevertheless, the single achieved more success in the United States than in the United Kingdom), "Forever Young" became one of the signature songs of the band and it has subsequently been covered by numerous artists.

Marian Gold (born Hartwig Schierbaum on 26 May 1954) is the lead singer of the German synthpop group Alphaville, and has also recorded as a solo artist.

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won

Turn our golden faces into the sun

Praising our leaders we're getting in tune

The music's played by the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, or never

Forever young, I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth's like diamonds in the sun

And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams swinging out of the blue

We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, or never

Forever young, I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, or never

Forever young, I wanna be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

HOLLABACK GIRL

WHERE: LIVE IN “THE VOICE” 2014

COUNTRY: U.S.A.

ALBUM: LOVE. ANGEL. MUSIC. BABY.

LABEL: UNIVERSAL

GENRE: HIP HOP

YEAR: 2004

"Hollaback Girl" is a song recorded by American Singer Gwen Stefani for her debut solo studio album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby.(2004). As part of Stefani's vision of creating "a silly dance record", "Hollaback Girl" is a hip hop song that draws influence from 1980s hip hop and dance music. The song was written by Stefani, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, supposedly as a response to Courtney Love's statement that Stefani was a "cheerleader" in an interview with Seventeen magazine. The song was released as the album's third single on March 15, 2005, and was one of the year's most popular songs, peaking inside the top 10 on the majority of the charts it entered. It reached number one in Australia and the United States, where it became the first digital download to sell one million copies.

"Hollaback Girl" received several award nominations, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year at the 48th Grammy Awards, but lost in both categories. The single divided pop music critics, with some praising its minimalistic production and others declaring it embarrassing; men's magazine Maxim called it the "Most Annoying Song Ever". In the United States, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks and was ranked at number two on the Year-End Hot 100. The recording topped the charts in Australia and reached the top ten in several other countries, including Ireland, Italy, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It has since been certified platinum in United States by the RIAA, and in Australia by ARIA.

A music video representing Stefani as a cheerleader at a California high school was released on March 21, 2005, and was directed by Paul Hunter. The visual received four nominations at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, and ultimately won for Best Choreography. The singer has performed "Hollaback Girl" on numerous occasions, including on all three of her concert tours, and on several televised appearances.
