Atomic Fireballs - Birth of the Swerve album review
The Atomic Fireballs - Birth of the Swerve is one of those snazzy swinging jazz albums that is soothing but repetitive. Some of the subject material is not new. The album is exotic and erotic due to songs such as Catfish Ball, Spanish Fly, and Mata Hari. Fairly average for a swing revival album from the 1990s.
The song Spanish Fly is about a toxic blistering liquid agent that has been used as an aphrodisiac. It’s just a tiny pill that will make you lose your will.
When things get to movin' and I gets to groovin’. Nightcrawlers all beware. I got a roundtrip ticket and I sing it like a cricket. And I think I'm halfway there. And I'm feeling kinda tipsy because I bought it from a gypsy with her hair down to her knees. Give Spanish Fly to your lover when you're feeling undercover and you know you start to squeeze.
I bought Spanish Fly for a dime and used it for a real good time. Spanish Fly is used for a real good time. Spanish fly can be used to improve your luck. It’s just a tiny pill that will make you lose your will. Time to scream and shout. Ain't no striking out. My body is shaking and my stomach is aching. But there ain't no turning back. All my head is quaking and I'm standing there naked. Ready to attack.
The song Mata Hari was about Dutch exotic dancer Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod. Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod was a Dutch exotic dancer during the 19th century and 20th century. Her stage name, Mata Hari, means “Sun” in Malay. Mata Hari brought a carefree provocative style of dancing to the stage. While sex work was still viewed negatively at the time, Hari was not at all concerned with what her line of work was, as long as she enjoyed it.
Mata Hari was convicted of espionage near the end of World War I. Her “evil ways” were her promiscuous way of exotic dancing and espionage near the end of World War I. She was an icon who was lusted after by many people. At the time, Newspapers commented on Mata Hari’s sleekness and felinity when dancing. Her death was a tragedy, as many thought she was innocent.
Mata Hari's the queen of night. She'll make you move in an awful fright. Something about her evil ways will make you curse and make you crave. Mata Hari's got slinky moves because she’s an exotic dancer. Steady groovin' with a cooler pill. Eyes of ice and heart of steel. Mata Hari's got a special touch. Sane men wanna loose control. They scream and dream about her lust. Mata Hari looks so fine. Silky touch of velvet lace.

Lulu Whidby - Home Again Blues single review
Lulu Whidby - Home Again Blues is one of the lesser know gypsy jazz singles of 1933 which has a sense of freedom and relief. Lulu Whidby had a voice similar to Annette Hanshaw given they were both harmonized altos. The single has an antique vintage dated vibe and sound in the production.
Home Again Blues explained the pain of a person who had been a rolling stone for many years without a fixed permanent personal address.
Lulu Whidby had been known to be a rolling stone for many years. Now alone she sit around and moan when night appears. Thoughts of her home fill her with regrettable tears every year. How She longs to hear a bit of news. Friends appear to offer words of cheer but she refuses to pack up her trunk because she’s got those "Home Again Blues". They say there is place like home. Home is where she belongs.
Strut Miss Lizzie is about a midnight blonde haired woman named Miss Lizzie Brown who caught the attention of the beaus who dancing at the barber's ball in the barber's hall. The beaus are attracted to her feet due to the way she dances.
All the dusky belles were there at the barber's ball in the barber's hall. All the belles and beaus prancing on their toes They were glancing, prancing, strutting and dancing. They were doing for fair. The hosts tried to do the cake walk swell. When a midnight blonde came prancing on, the beaus were loud to yell. The beaus said,” Won't you strut Miss Lizzie? Get busy.” The beaus wanted to see her walk for the folks all state the way she syncopates is the whole town talk. She moves so pretty. It's a pity. The other girlies frown. But the men she meets like the way she shakes her feet. She knocks down them dizzy. Strut Miss Lizzie Brown!
They were steppin' sweet and they were steppin' neat. They were steppin' super fine to the singing, swinging, and fancy pigeon winging. They were falling in line. Every dame and dude struck an attitude as they tried to win the cake. But everybody cried when Lizzie Brown came prancing round.

Ginuwine - the Bachelor album review
Ginuwine - the Bachelor was one of the greatest R&B/Soul albums from a male solo artist for 1996 due to being such a huge commercial success. The album had commercially successful hits such as Pony and I’m Sorry. His entire album was laced with Timbaland’s sultry production which consisted of his ultra thick drum patterns, loud claps, and prosperous snaps. Not to mention Ginuwine’s singing. Nearly each song is worth listening to on this 4/5**** album.
Pony was one of the greatest R&B/Soul songs of 1996 due to being such a huge commercial success. The song was laced with Timbaland’s sultry production which consisted of his ultra thick drum patterns, loud claps, and prosperous snaps. Not to mention Ginuwine’s singing.
The entire song is a blatant sexual euphemism for Ginuwine’s penis. Ginuwine wants the woman to ride his penis like she was riding a pony (horse). His sex is so good that she will not want to come off of his penis. A bunch of double entendres are used int he song.
Ginuwine is in need of a woman to settle down with since he is a single man that is currently a bachelor. He is single and would like to mingle. He is looking for someone who can ride his penis without quitting and without even falling off. He wants someone to take him through the maximum heights of pleasure. You and your body. Every single portion sends chills up and down your spine. Juices flowing down your thigh. That must be one intense orgasm.
550 What? is about a man who have been searching a female partner. The song is also a reference to the record label he was singed to in 1996. 550 Music was the record label Ginuwine was signed to in the 1990s which is owned by Sony. He paid homage, tribute, and respect to 550 Music in this song. Timbaland used his signature production of thick drum patterns and smoky beats. He also raps at the very end too.
Ginuwine has been looking all around and been searching for the right producers to record music with. He is known for getting down on some other shit. He just doesn't want a hit. He’s trying to stay around. He can feel what you need indeed and he’ll give you all the things you need. You'll never have to worry bout "G".
Ginuwine is happy that he found her face. He is blessed with the way she is treating him. Feeling real good. Together they will bump the place.
Timbaland is chilling on the corner with his nig Ginuwine speaking about the problems that are on his mind. Never had a true reason whether he’s gonna be here or leaving His life's been nothing but an ugly mess. Timbaland has been talking to a whole lot of people were telling him that his life was not going to be created equal.
But his manager R.R. had a bunch of plans. Then Timbaland and Ginuwine ran into J.D. and he engineered the plan
Then what Michael Caplan hooked Timbaland and Ginuwine up with Polly and she signed the "G" man (Ginuwine) to 550 Music. L. West had to live his legal statements. She means so much to Timbaland and Ginuwine because she hooked Timbaland and Ginuwine with Ron Sweeny. Timbaland and Ginuwine are now (were) working together as a team trying to take advantage and complete their dreams.
Ginuwine feels hurt about the things that happened between him and his girlfriend. He asks why did she have to leave him. That is what the song World Is So Cold is about.
The world is so cold. Why did Ginuwine’s girlfriend leave Ginuwine standing there alone with his shadow? Ginuwine looks for his girlfriend’s presence but it's not there. One thing's on his mind. The thought is having his girlfriend and to have her next to him. How could she leave that night? Already the world is so cold. Ginuwine is lost and is no doubt miserable. Ginuwine has got much good love to give. Living alone's no way to live. He can't believe she’s gone. It tore apart his heart.

Caity Gyorgy - Now Presenting: Caity Gyorgy album review
Canadian jazz singer extraordinaire Caity Gyorgy sings her renown style of swing and bebop on her 2021 album Caity Gyorgy Now Presenting: Caity Gyorgy. Caity Gyorgy gives swing jazz a breath of fresh air that is genuinely refreshing to the genre of jazz music which is much needed in todays times.
12th Ave is about Caity meeting her lover on 12th Ave in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Caity agreed to come his way on a blue and brilliant morning because he asked to meet her a week or two before But she was shy and had to hide away. But on a certain morning things were different since he gave her directions to meet him. It seems one glance was all it took to make everything clear.
Caity agreed to come his way on a blue and brilliant morning. Her lover had asked to meet her a week or two before. But she was shy and had to hide away. But on a certain morning things were different. He gave Caity directions so she could find her way. "It's down the street then take a left, then right, then left again. Find one eleven and you'll be on your way"
Caity saw him there by the stairs searching for somewhere to look. They caught each others eyes. It seems one glance was all it took. And Caity could count the many things that she loved about him. But it would take all day. And she could spend so many hours of the night just thinking of that faithful look knowing it's her heart he took.
And so it seems she’s living a dream. But when she wakes up, he’s still here. It seems one glance made everything clear.
The B explains how manipulative an insect creature known as a bee is. The song deals with lack of compassion and empathy.
The B is a manipulative creature. Always absent when they're wanted. Always present when they're not. The B is selfish because it can't think of others. Somehow a bee lacks all compassion. Empathy is out of fashion.
The B seems blind but its eyes see perfectly fine. But when it's faced with accusation, vision leaves the situation. The B does not deal well with confrontation. And how in the world could something radiate such hostility? Such short sighted cruelty shows a bee’s inhumanity. Thе B makes the term 'family' seem rеlative. Blood or not I cannot stand them. And I wish I could gently hand them. A one way ticket going straight down.
Why’d You Gotta explained how Caity’s man was cheating on her. Caity cannot stand the sight of her lover with another girl. She suspects that he is cheating on him.
Why did Caity have to see him dancing in the courtyard with another girl on him arm? Why did Caity have to see him dancing around the fountain with her? He used to be her baby. She wants him to give him his shoulder for the tears that she cried.
Just a couple days ago Caity took a drive. He was sittin' pretty by her side. She took some notice when his eyes started wondering. He saw that long legged beauty takin' a stroll. He couldn't see her eyes roll because he was too busy looking at her. That made Caity me an awfully sharp turn.
Then there was the time when he went away. He said he wеre working both the night shift and the day shift. So Caity callеd his hotel and they transferred her to his room. A sweet and sultry voice had answered the phone. She realizes he is talking differently from how he talks when he is at home. How did he change his voice? Caity never heard his voice sounding so high. The pitch and octave in his vocals changes. That one occasion that got Caity the most.
But the one occasion that got Caity the most was when she caught him looking white as a ghost. What happened was Caity got home early and he did too. The second that her key started turning that lock, she saw the window open and out she dropped! It's funny that the cleaner would clean without any clothes. His charm has gone and made her fall.

Caity Gyorgy - No Bounds album review
Caity Gyorgy - No Bounds gives swing jazz a breath of fresh air that is genuinely refreshing to the genre of jazz music which is much needed in todays times. She sings her swing and bebop covers on this album.
Undefined deals with the difficulty in ways a person can tell they love someone by "I love you". The song explains how the love that Caity feels for her man is undefined.
Caity needs to find another way to express a simple phrase. A more enchanting way to say, "I love you" She would like to be astute and the sentence seems minute. Head over heels is simply too graceful for her.
So could there be a better means to articulate her dream? Her passion and desires escape all languages. Words seem to fall flat each time she tries to speak her mind. The love that Caity feels for her man is undefined.
Postage Due tells ladies how to get their man’s attention if they do not respond to to them or have a reaction. The song has a 50s jazz pop theme and vibe.
Did you remember to put on your loafers? You know the ones with the penny in the front. Did you remember the number to call? And the words you'd like him to hear? Short and sweet because the telephone can be dear. Now don't you worry if he does not answer, you know a letter can work just as well Just spritz a little perfume to let him know that it’s you. Seal the note and sign your name. Don't forget the stamp for postage due.
Tell him the words you'd like him to hear. The telephone can be dear. The telephone is your friend.
East of the Sun is a cover of Billie Holiday - East of the Sun. This is Caity’s renown cover of Billie Holiday - East of the Sun. East of the sun and west of the moon. They’ll build a dream house of love, dear. Close to the sun in the day. Near to the moon at night. Their live in a lovely way, dear. Living their love in pale moonlight. Their love will not die because they will keep it that way. Up among the stars they’ll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune.

Sabertooth Swing - Extinct Possibilities album review
Sabertooth Swing - Extinct Possibilities is filled with swinging ragtime jazz songs that are similar to ragtime jazz songs from the 1930s. That is why a majority of the songs are 1930s sounding. The moods of the songs are exciting, exhilarating, and depressing. For example, Alcohol told the story about a sinner who was an alcoholic hence the prevalent theme of alcohol that is mentioned throughout the song.
After You’ve Gone explained the pain of losing a loved and coping with the loss of them being gone. Loss is the theme and subject of this jazz song.
There's no denying you'll feel blue and you'll feel sad once you lost the person you loved the most. You loved that person both night and day all these years. You'll miss the dearest person that you've ever had known and loved. There'll come a time when you'll regret it. Someday when you grow lonely, your heart will break like mine. You’re gonna wake up. You will find that you were so blind to let somebody come and change your feeble mind.
Alcohol told the story about a sinner who was an alcoholic hence the prevalent theme of alcohol that is mentioned throughout the song.
Here is a story about a sinner who used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position. But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements, and his crazy wife's fanatical ambition turned him to the booze. He got mixed up with a floosie (gold digging woman) who led him on a life of indecision. The floosie made him spend his dough. She left him lying on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. He was left a drunken mess in some Salvation Army Mission. It's such a shame.
Who’d thought that he would blow it all on that demon alcohol? Who’d thought that he would fall a slave to demon alcohol?
He'll drink anything. Port, Pernod or tequila. Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks. As long as all his troubles disappeared. But he messed up his life when he beat up his wife. And the floosie's gone and found another sucker. She's gonna turn him on to drink. She's gonna lead him to the brink. And when his money's gone, she'll leave him in the gutter.

Royal Crown Revue - The Contender album review
Royal Crown Revue - The Contender is another raucous cabaret jazz album that has swinging elements of swing jazz from the swing revival of the 1990s. The tone for this album is much different from their other albums. This album is more aggressive due to having fighting songs such as Big Boss Lee, Friday the 13th, and The Contender. Which is why The Contender is considered to be a more brash aggressive Royal Crown Revue album. Many of the moods of the songs are exciting and exhilarating. The album had explored new avenues of storytelling.
Friday the 13th explained the trouble Eddie had gotten himself into in New York City. Joey The Amateur and Eddie were out drinking last night when Eddie got 3 sheets to an ill wind. Eddie gets carjacked by Joes. He finds himself lost of his prized possession which is his fine Double 5 Lincoln convertible. Eddie goes on an adventure to retrieve his Double 5 Lincoln convertible back. This leads Joey A. (Joey The Amateur) and Eddie get into a fight which leads into them boxing each other in a boxing match. This also leads them getting into a scuffle.
It was a fine left coast morning. And Eddie found himself planted outside The Cap 'N' Cork tipping back the hops in order to calm his dancing hands. You see Eddie doesn't usually play the tied-up watchdog routine looking up and down the street. But this is the corner Joey A. and Eddie were supposed to meet.
You see Joey The Amateur and Eddie were out clinkin' glasses last night. When Eddie got 3 sheets to an ill wind himself being in possession of a fine Double 5 Lincoln convertable. Joey offered to skip him back to the crib. He awoke to a barren driveway. And a neighbor started to chide. "Joey dumped you off and he's got your ride!" Black cats don't bother Eddie because he smiles in bad company. And he is cool as the day is long. But takin' short. That's dead wrong.
It was now 11:22 AM and up scuffles Benny The Shoe. A real hot air merchant from way back. Eddie inquired about Joey A and his superfine Lincoln. Then Benny beat his gums and testified to Eddie explaining, "Joe's washing the short. Changing da oil He'll be here by three." So the little hand hits 3 PM and who should appear but a Cuban cat named Geronimo. An upstanding cat in the textile business. He said, "Joey knocked over a racketman and is laying low for a few. But in your trunk he left you some treasure. A pint of rye and a case of Slim Jim's for your masticating pleasure.
Now it is 10 PM. Eddie is hot as a hophead's zippo when Rosie appears on her financially motivated nightly exercise routine. He asked the whereabouts of the horsepower thief in question Snd she shot him that amphetamine stare. Rosie said, "Joey A.? I just got out of his Lincoln on Hollywood Way." Eddie thought "Kill Joey A.!" when the bar keep came out to simmer him slow boil. Rosie said, "Joey A. just called on the blower. He said you better skip town 'cause the cops got your ride. You're wanted for solicitation. Possession -- you owe him one. And here's the scather. And another thing cat. Don't ask me for goddamn favors!"
The Contender is about a boxing match in the boxing ring at a gymnasium. Eddie plays the role of a boxer in the song. The song was inspired by boxing champion Muhammed Ali.
The lights are spinnin’. Eddie’s gotta get himself up off the floor. His head is ringing. Bet they think he can't take too much more. The crowd is howling like the ocean's pounding roar. His legs are goin' out. Someone up there don't like him. Now his right and his left will decide because they're done with this bum takin' dives. Now his eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears but he see salvation tonight in a left and a right.
People called Eddie a kid, champ, or lefty. A bowery kid to the core. Fast cars and hipster movie stars. He ain't got none of that anymore. Now he is down in the 7th round. By the 8th round his ribs are sore. Eddie is staggering around by the 9th round.
It's a one-way ticket. Smart money is showing him the door. Backed on the ropes now is where his body lays. When the crowd goes silent, he’ll be comin' back for more. Now his eyes may be swollen with right hooks and tears but he see salvation tonight in a left and a right. Eddie sees salvation tonight.

Royal Crown Revue - Mugzy’s Move album review
Royal Crown Revue - Mugzy’s Move is an action-packed filled cabaret jazz album that has lively swinging elements of swing jazz. The album is filled with fast paced uptempo swing jazz numbers. This Royal Crown Revue album was inspired by classic pulp fiction movies and books. The band was proficient and energetic with their energy when recording and performing these songs. They helped bring in that swing revival.
Datin With No Dough explained how Eddie dated a woman while he had no money.
Eddie fly and flash. His jive is sweet. Pressed in pleat right to his feet. But when it comes to cash he is incomplete. That is because he is datin' with no dough.
Eddie told the woman he is dating he wants to take her on a date on the condition that she'd have to wait because he never owned a car in the state of New York. He’ll be datin' with no dough. The valets and the maître d' roll out the red carpet for Eddie. His looks are deceiving because when the check comes he’ll be gone. If flash were cash he’d be a Rockefeller.
Eddie took the woman he is dating uptown to show her that he had some class. He could not pay the drink tab. You know He ended the date with her foot up his ass. She found out Eddie was a broke deadbeat and left his ass.
Trouble In Tinsel Town explained the hustle and bust of Hollywood life in Hollywood, California.
Dirty neon lights and the traffic's cry. Footsteps echo on the street. The cheap but lovely chicks. And a sawbuck for a trick. She'll work for a bite to eat. So where is all the glamour? Where's that lovely starlet's kiss? But out in TV land they dream of Tinsel Town. But I'll tell you just what they've missed in the city where the night runs deep. Hustlers roll. Beat cops stroll. Seedy bars. Cats in lowered cars. That's Hollywood while you're asleep.
Well here comes the fog. Or is that smog? I can't tell anymore There ain't no welcome wagon around this town.
Fred and Ethel sure the hell ain't next door. But way out in the distance someone watches the late night show. They dream of being hip on Sunset Strip.
A song called the The Rise And Fall Of The Great Mondello explained the rise and fall of a trapeze artist known as The Great Mondello.
Ladies and gents. Your attention please. Let's look to the flying trapeze. The Great Mondello will take to the sky! Watch him go! see him fly!
Now this wonder will start with some flips while the ladies are biting their lips. Now the tension is high as it gets. That's right folks. There are no nets being used. This cat was flying through with the greatest of ease. All of a sudden The Great Mondello missed the trapeze. Kersplatty on the ground he went. Come and see where Mondello did land. The poor fellow is in the Lord's hands. That's all folks. Go home. See you next week.

Royal Crown Revue - Walk on Fire album review
Royal Crown Revue - Walk on Fire is a beautiful sophisticated raucous cabaret jazz album that has swinging elements of swing jazz. The album is filled with fast paced uptempo swing jazz numbers. Exotic love songs on the album include She Walks On Fire and Trapped (In The Web Of Love).
She Walks On Fire is about this sexy woman who is both cabaret dancer and a belly dancer walks on fire when she performs her exotic dancing. The song is a love song.
She walks on fire. How their fever grows to be desired and left standing cold. It pains him to know when she walks on fire. Blue eyes turn black when their love's spoken slow. Red hearts shed jade light when it's time to go. Love makes a liar of him when she's close. The man is waiting to know if she loves him so.
The Stranger is one of the stranger swing revival songs on the album. The song is about One kid from Brooklyn and another kid from Queens who met on a crosstown train.
One kid from Brooklyn and another kid from Queens met on a crosstown train. They cut from class and they both agreed that bottle down at Coney's is all they need. They stashed a handful of kicks under their belts. But Queens stepped on Brooklyn's time. Now a new gang's there with icy stares. The stranger said hello and that's goodbye. He's got more faces than the cards you drew. You can't say spit, but you know it's true. When it all comes down and the deal is through, the stranger made a buyer of me and you.
She smoked the filters and he smoked them straight On gin and jazz they agreed. A pack of nights went spinnin' round.And in no time they were shacking up midtown.
A vow it would seem, to fill out that dream. But life ain't what you think Cause where once stood two, there now stand three The stranger now divides their company.
Mr. Meschugge is the instrumental song which served as the closer for the Walk On Fire album. The song has a bit of a German theme going on due to the song title that was used.

The Flap! s/t album review
The Flap! album by Australian swing jazz and ragtime band Flap! was one of the swingingest swing jazz albums from the country of Australia for 2008. Who knew such posh swinging jazz could come from the country of Australia?
Take Off My Dress is a ukulele backed ragtime jazz song with songstress Jess Guille singing the vocals. This is a Jess Guille solo. Jess looks and searches for some love and affection her previous lover left behind.
Jess has been searching for the time that he stole with his breath. Jess has been undoing the binds she got in while she got undressed. She finds herself perplexed walking down these crowded lonely streets. How is it that she always wondering who's gonna make it to her pants next? I guess it's her age and history. It's not really that much of a mystery. It's time to stop asking silly questions and just do what feels best. Jess needs your help. If you've got the time come in and take off her dress.
It's been a crazy year. And she has learned a lot of things. Like when to smile, when to laugh, and where not to sing. But there are some things that you just can't mistake. Because it's about what pleases Jess. Her life flies by the hour.
My Sweet Tatana Wife is about Eamon’s sweet wife who is from Tatana Island which is located in the National Capital District of Papua New Guinea.

Eamon is here on Tatana Island, Papua New Guinea. And it was there Eamon saw her walking with hips swaying like the palms. He swore he kissed her gently and held her firmly in his arms because she was the finest girl to ever walk the Earth. His sweet Tatana wife.

Flap! - A Great Day For The Race album review
Flap! - A Great Day For The Race is another fantastic album by the fantastic Aussie band Flap!. Who knew such posh swinging jazz could come from the country of Australia? A Great Day For The Race was one of the swingingest swing jazz albums from the country of Australia for 2012.
The Northcote Rooster explained Eamon’s encounter of him seeing a giant rooster.
Eamon was up on Ruckus Hill late on a Saturday night and he saw a sight so strange. He nearly shat himself with fright. It was a rooster as big as houses that came rambling up the hill. The rooster was 40 feet from beak to claw. Snd maybe larger. And well it's true, mate. Never was Eamon known to lie.
This rooster had a wingspan that was wider than your mum (mother)And every time the bastard flapped his wings, his shadow blocked the sun. This rooster was a monster. You could see him from the moon. The cock's comb on this rooster's head brushed against the sky. Swept the stars from heaven and set them in your eyes. They're eyes as bright as heaven.
He didn't get back until June
Come Down To My Funeral was written by Eamon McNelis, one of the lead singers of Flap!, after a friend of his had passed away. The sound of funeral doom can be heard on this song. Eamon like to take the chance to each and invite all of you to come down to his funeral. So won't you come down to his funeral?
So let me make this clear. No, he won't send paper invitations. Just pass the word to all who thought that Eamon McNelis was worth a tear. Just don't bury him in Faulkner. We'll be drinking scotch and stout. And Mister Lee will drink red wine. So come down to his funeral and we'll all have a time.
There'll be dancing all night long. To all the girls who plucked their courage up and asked for Eamon to dance, Well Eamon never been a dancer, sorry girls. But now's your chance. We could dance the Charleston. We could dance the Tango too. We could trip the light fantastic.
He has got his friends and all his lovers. They'll be there as well. The party's good, the drugs are hard, and the devil plays trombone. The carpet's dirty and the drinks are cheap. And we'll all feel all at home.
The Princess Mary Rag is about Eamon McNelis attempting to start a family with Danish princess Princess Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark and make Princess Mary his wife.
Eamon McNelis has got a harem of 600 girls. He dresses them all up in diamonds and pearls. Each one's a stunner as cute as you'll find. But there's just one girl he can't get out of his mind. Now each night there's two girls lying in his bed. Maybe he is stupid or maybe he is crazy. Or maybe two girls every night gets to be too much because he is lazy.
Eamon feels so in love that he feels he is in strife. He’d do most anything if she'd just love him. Maybe Eamon should pray to the gods high up above him. The gods can take his diamonds and pearls. The gods can have his harem of 600 hundred girls. He would give them all up for just one kiss from that one girl.
Eamon McNelis has his eyes set on Danish princess Princess Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark. He wants to make Princess Mary his wife and start a family with her.
He wonders why Princess Mary won’t come home with him. He wonders why Princess Mary leave Prince Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. That is who that other guy is royally known as. Although Eamon loves Princess Mary forever, he now really sees her position because he knows she belongs to Denmark and she’ll never belong to him.
Oh, Princess Mary
Why don't you come home with me?
Go on, leave Freddie
You could see just how happy we could be
'Cause I love you 'til forever
You and me could start a family
Oh, my beautiful Princess
Won't you please come home with me?
And although I love you 'til forever
Your position I now really see

Anja Kotar - NOMAD album review
Anja Kotar - NOMAD is a Slovenian pop album filled with American pop influences. The production is lively and is very much modernized. Many of the songs such as Happy Pill and Eighteen are synth pop-inspired.
“Happy Pill” is an 80s synth pop-inspired electro-gospel reflection on the everyday effects of the opioid crisis. As one of the most intimate songs on the NOMAD album, it constantly plays between good and bad, drowning sadness in temporarily induced happiness. This song of hers uses contemporary poetry.
You of all people should know these facts when dealing with opioids. When you’re feeling high someone else is feeling low. When you’re feeling happy someone else is balling tears. When you’re feeling safe they’re out facing their worst fears. And in this world there’s always gonna be someone that you lose. I know it’s hard but who it’s gonna be is something you must choose.
These lyrics explain how people lose their problems to opioid pills.
If happiness does come inside a 100 milligram dose
I sure would like to get my hands on a couple of those
To strip me of my thoughts and numb the way I feel
I lost you to a pill
Poster Child of California is about an actress in California who’s addicted to the California lifestyle. She is a poster child of California. Anja Kotar was inspired the by the Californian culture and California lifestyle when she came up with the concept of/for this song. Anja says she’s on her way to becoming the poster child of California. Anja also proves real big hair and big dreams always go hand in hand. This life may not be poster perfect but she sure is lucky when you scratch the surface.
This woman is an 80s runaway kid with scrunchies in her recently bleached out hair. She’s everybody’s best friend. Pressing on the pedals speeding through the streets that she grew up in but keeps coming back to and searching on. Her libretto’s darker than the cover shows. She’s so out of reach and unattainable.She’s on her way to becoming the poster child of California. She’s the perfect child of California. Never seen her eyes but you still know her.
Be careful because her force will captivate you. Nomad of the old world she sets the world ablaze. Deep down she still gets scared but she's determined to amaze. Fighting for what's right she’s standing up for change. Real big hair and big dreams always go hand in hand.
And every wave that hits the shore reminds her of the days before. When sun rays twirled around her hair, the wind blew worries through the air. She is all grown up but yet she still walks the same beaches. This life may not be poster perfect but she sure is lucky when you scratch the surface.
5/5*****!
