GENRE: ROCK

YEAR: 1966

Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on May 16, 1966. It initially met with a lukewarm critical and commercial response in the United States, peaking at number 10 in the Billboard 200, a somewhat lower placement than the band's preceding albums. In the United Kingdom, the album was hailed by the music press and was an immediate commercial success, peaking at number 2 in the UK Top 40 Albums Chart and remaining among the top ten positions for six months. Promoted as "the most progressive pop album ever", Pet Sounds attracted recognition for its ambitious recording and uniquely sophisticated music, and is widely considered to be among the most influential albums in the history of music.

We come on the Sloop John B

My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night

Got into a fight

Well I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home, let me go home

I wanna go home, yeah, yeah

Well I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk

Broke in the captain's trunk

The constable had to come and take him away

Sheriff John Stone

Why don't you leave me alone, yeah, yeah

Well I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home, let me go home

I wanna go home, let me go home

Why don't you let me go home

Hoist up the John B

I feel so broke up

I wanna go home, let me go home

The poor cook he caught the fits

And threw away all my grits

And then he took and he ate up all of my corn

Let me go home

Why don't they let me go home

This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home, let me go home

I wanna go home, let me go home

Why don't you let me go home

~oh yeah who rox?

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a 1992 American Christmas comedy film written and produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus.

In the film, taking place one year after the events of Home Alone, Kevin and his family decide to take a trip to Florida, but Kevin accidentally boards the wrong plane and ends up in New York City. He tries to make do with what he has, such as using his father's credit card to stay at the Plaza Hotel, but is soon confronted by the recently-escaped Wet Bandits. Using his wits to survive and befriending unlikely locals, Kevin must outrun and out-prank his old enemies again, while his family tries desperately to find him.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Ev'rywhere you go;

Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in ev'ry store

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots

Is the wish of Barney and Ben;

Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk

Is the hope of Janice and Jen;

And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Ev'rywhere you go;

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,

The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;

Soon the bells will start,

And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing

Right within your heart.

OLD LOVE

WHERE: LIVE IN HYDE PARK 1997

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: JOURNEYMAN

LABEL: DUCK

GENRE: BLUES ROCK

YEAR: 1989

Blues Singer Robert Cray was a co-writer of this song. He also played a guitar solo on it.

This song is about the end of the relationship between Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd, who were married for nine years. She told the Guardian newspaper in December 2008, "The end of a relationship is a sad enough thing, but to then have Eric writing about it as well. It makes me more sad, I think, because I can't answer back."

Journeyman is the eleventh solo studio album by Eric Clapton. Heralded as a return to form for Clapton, who had struggled with alcohol addiction and had recently found sobriety, the album has a 1980s electronic sound, but it also includes blues songs like "Before You Accuse Me", "Running on Faith", and "Hard Times." "Bad Love" was released as a single, reaching the No. 1 position on the Album Rock Chart, and being awarded a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1990. "Pretending" had also reached the No. 1 position on the Album Rock Chart the previous year, remaining at the top for five weeks ("Bad Love" had only stayed for three weeks).

While the album was only a moderate commercial success at the time, reaching number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart, it went on to become his first solo studio album to go double platinum. Clapton has stated that Journeyman is one of his favourite albums.

Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE (born 30 March 1945), is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and of Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and fourth in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time". He was also named number five in Time magazine's list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009.

I can feel your body

When I'm lying in bed

There's too much confusion

Going around through my head

And it makes me so angry

To know that the flame still burns

Why can't I get over?

When will I ever learn?

[Chorus:]

Old love, leave me alone

Old love, go on home

I can see your face

But I know that it's not real

It's just an illusion

Caused by how I used to feel

And it makes me so angry

To know that the flame will always burn

I'll never get over

I know now that I'll never learn

[Chorus].

Bad girls

Talking about the sad girls

Sad girls

Talking about bad girls, yeah

See them out on the street at night, walkin'

Picking up on all kinds of strangers

If the price is right

You can't score if you're pocket's tight

But you want a good time

You ask yourself who they are

Like everybody else

They come from near and far

Bad girls, yeah

Bad girls

Talking about the sad girls, yeah

Sad girls

Talking about bad girls, yeah

Friday night and the strip is hot

Sun's gone down and they're out to trot

Spirit's high and legs look hot

Do you wanna get down

Now don't you ask yourself who they are

Like everybody else, they wanna be a star

Bad girl

Sad girl, you're such a naughty bad girl

Beep-Beep, uh-uh

You bad girl you sad girl

Your such a dirty bad girl

Beep-Beep, uh-uh

Now you and me we're both the same

But you call yourself by different names

Now your mama won't like it when she finds out

That her girl is out at night

Hey, Mister, have you got a dime

Mister, do you want to spent some time

Oh, yeah

I got what you want, you got what I need

I'll be your baby, come and spend it on me

Hey, Mister
I'll spend some time with you.
