Crazy…is crazy. Gnarls Barkley has topped the charts with its smash hit song, Crazy. Crazy has been wailing on the radio, streaming over the net, and hypnotizing via the TV. The song topped many charts at the number 1 spot and still holds onto the record after many weeks.

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley

Lyrics to Gnarls Barkley Crazy

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Danity Kane the New Superhero

sugoi — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 22:52:53 +0000

After three seasons of Making the Band, Bad Boy Record’s CEO P. Diddy decided to release the debut of the quintet’s new album. The band is comprised with the talent of Aubrey, Aundrea, D. Woods, Dawn, and Shannon. Their sexy appearance and fresh voices make them a promising band. Perhaps we can speculate them to contend with Destiny Child’s fame.

DK sits at the number 2 position in Billboard’s top 200 chart just after its release two weeks ago. Showstopper, one of their most popular songs, sports a bumpin’ bass and an addictive tune that riles you up.

Lyrics to Danity Kane Show Stopper

[Hook- Group- Shannon lead vocal]
We in the car, we ride slow
We doin' things that the girls don't do
The boys stare, we smile back
All my girls in the rainbow Cadillacs, yeah 

[Aubrey]
Show stoppin' at the latest bar
The ride shinin' with the open top
Hydraulics make our heads go nod
Hair blowin' in the breeze
Yo, we superstars 

[D. Woods]
Put in the keys, make that engine purr
3 in the back, one in the passenger
Slow creepin', 'cause we look that fly
All the boys tryin' taste our candy ride 

[Group - Shannon lead vocal]
We in the car, we ride slow
We doin' things that the girls don't do
The boys stare, we smile back
All my girls in the rainbow Cadillacs, yeah 

[Chorus - Group]
Bet you ain't never seen
Chicks ridin' this clean
Louis Vuitton seats
We do it deadly
This how we keep it poppin'
Make sure that bass knockin'
So when you see us ridin'
We call it show stoppin' 

We show stoppin'
We show, show stoppin'
We show stoppin'
We show, show stoppin'
That's how we keep it poppin'
Make sure that bass knockin'
So when you see us ridin'
We call it show stoppin' 

[Aundrea]
We sittin' on 22s plus 2
Mink bucket seats, neon blue
Color coordinate with them shoes
Yeah, we divas
But we ride like big boys do 

[D. Woods]
Black tinted with a white stripe interstate
Lookin' in the mirror at my Bad Boy fitted, yup
Show stoppin' 'til they lose their breath
Turn the wheel to the right
Turn the wheel to the left 

[Hook- Group- Shannon lead vocals] 

[Chorus- Dawn ad-libs] 

[Dawn]
This is for my ladies in the 280s Mercedes
In the H3, Baby Ranges, Bentley Coupes, my Escalades
Say oh, oh
Break 'em off somethin' proper
Like a real show stopper 

[Group- Dawn lead vocal]
This is for my chicas with the Beamers A6s
'67 Chevys, Maserati, or a Lexus
Say oh, oh
Break 'em off somethin' proper
Like a real show stopper 

[Instrumental Break] 

[Chorus] 

[Dawn]
Tonight we goin' swervin'
Bustin' slides, hittin' curbs
And ghost ridin' on the whips
Hit tonight
That's what it's gonna be about
Watch my trunk go bouncy bounce
Girls gon' ridin' 

[Group - Shannon & Aubrey lead vocal- 2x]
I know you see a wifey
But peep my ride go hyphy

Lyrics to Breaking Benjamin Diary Of Jane

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane

Cassie Climbing the Charts

sugoi — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 19:11:54 +0000

Cassie entered the music biz at the young age of 16 and upon graduating high school and a little direction, she was signed into a label. Her debut single, Me&U, was released April 25, 2006 and has gradually became a regular hit on local radio stations such as Kiss 106.1 and Kube 93.3.

Lyrics:

Cassie-
you’ve been waiting so long
I’m hear to answer your call
I know that I shouldn’t have had you waiting at all
I’ve been so busy, but I’ve been thinking about what I wanna do with you

Bridge-
I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it’s true
They know you’re the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
Now, it’s me and you

Chours-
It’s me and you, now
I’ve been waiting (Waiting)
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It’s me and you, now
I’ve been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now
Baby, tell me how you like it

Cassie-
I was waiting for you to tell me you were ready
I know what to do, if only you would let me
As long as you’re cool with it, I’ll treat you right
Here is where you wanna be

Chours-
it’s me and you now (Baby, it’s me and you)
I’ve been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Thinking bout making that move)
Baby, tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it)
It’s me and you, now (Uh-huh)
I’ve been waiting (Hey)
Think I wanna make that move, now (Wanna make a move)
Baby, tell me how you like it (Yea)

Cassie-
Baby, I’ll love you all the way down
Get cha right where you like it, I promise you’ll like it (I swear)
Just relax and let me make that move (It’s our secret thang)
Keep it between me and you

Chours-
It’s me and you, now (Oh Yea-a)
I’ve been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Move now)
Baby, tell me if you like (Tell me if you like it)
It’s me and you, now (Yea)
I’ve been waiting
Think I wanna make that move, now (Gonna make a move now)
Baby, tell me how you like it
It’s me and you

India.Arie Offers Fresh Tunes

sugoi — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 22:44:49 +0000

The name doesn’t ring-a-bell in a lot of people’s minds, but it might starting now. Her newest album, Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship, has reached the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Now this album is pretty much brand, spankin’ new so it’s tough to say how long she’ll hold the spot. I was able to recognize one of her songs, I Am Not My Hair, and it’s pretty catchy. Time will only tell of her success. Perhaps it’s time for a breakthrough.

Here’s what Rhapsody has to say about her:

“India.Arie made waves in 2001 with her debut release on Motown Records, Acoustic Soul. The album was not a blockbuster but it did produce some singles with considerable staying power, including “Video” and “Brown Skin.” Arie also garnered a few Grammy nominations out of the deal. More importantly, Arie has become the darling little sister of the Neo-Soul set, garnering comparisons to artists like Jill Scott and Macy Gray for her conscious lyrics and vibrant, organic sound.”

Nelly who? Nelly Furtado

sugoi — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 04:55:33 +0000

Not the Nelly you're probably thinking about. Nelly Furtado made a huge presence in 2000-2001 with her hit song, Turn off the Light. Having been working a day job, she later releases Folklore several years later. One song you've most likely heard on the radio then was, Powerless. Powerless topped the Billboard charts at the 5th position one point. Although she's been laying low on the radar, she just released a NEW album on June 20th called, Loose.

Rhapsody says, "Although she grew up in Canada, Nelly Furtado's parents were Portuguese immigrants, and she was raised surrounded by the exotic rhythms of their music. Still drawn to the beat years later, Furtado gravitated toward the popular rap and contemporary R&B groups of the day. Like many teenagers, she used music not only as a means of escape, but also as a way to fan the flames of her dreams. After graduating from high school, Furtado headed to Toronto, where she formed the hip-hop duo Nelster."

As a side note, doesn't she look a little like Monica from Friends? Maybe it's just me…

Sugar Ray Will Always Be A Classic

sugoi — Thu, 15 Jun 2006 01:31:00 +0000

Sugar remains a top artist for me and fans all around the world. Their band’s ska like rock always carry a catchy melody combined with Mark McGrath singing the catchy tunes.

Rhapsody says,
“Sugar Ray owe a great debt to the powers that make their fusion of styles so darn catchy. Somehow, the union of hardcore Speed Metal with growling vocals, the sunny, feel-good songs with shimmering acoustic guitar, grungy guitar-driven rock and DJ Homicide’s groovy beats make a unified sound all their own. Fueled by the popularity of their ubiquitous first single “Fly” and singer Mark McGrath’s pin-up looks — the five-piece SoCal band seem likely to beat Warhol’s “fifteen minutes of fame” prediction.”

Nickelback hitting number 1 on Rock Charts

sugoi — Sat, 03 Jun 2006 07:45:22 +0000

Nickelback has a soft side with their song Far Away and they also have more rockin' songs like, Animals, which topped out at the number 1 spot for a while on the Billboard mainstream rock chart.

Here's a little background for you to read from Rhapsody:

"Canadian band Nickelback blend low-fidelity electric guitar tremolo with warm, acoustic strumming and soulful singing. Although the vocalist treads into melodramatic territory at times, he's sporadically accompanied in refreshing vocal harmony by his bandmates. These are catchy alternative rock songs that (predictably) explode into overdriven, distorted choruses complete with the vocalist's grungy growl."

Paradise Song of the Day

sugoi — Tue, 23 May 2006 21:16:03 +0000

Today's awesome song of the day is from The Fray's latest album, How to Save a Life. This song is in the Top 10 of Billboards Hot 100 chart, currently sitting comfortably at the 9th spot.
