She has this song; I don't believe it was ever released to radio stations. It's called Serve The Ego, and it's very prolific (yet simple). I like it a lot. Kind of interesting the way it addresses the actual disco era and the "me" generation of the 1970s while also being very applicable to today's society as well.

You should get it if you can.

Here are the lyrics.

SERVE THE EGO

Mirror, mirror
Do you like
What you see?
I'll dance for you
If you dance for me
Who says a woman
Cannot serve?
It would be my pleasure
Who says it is
Not my destiny
To let you control me?
Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego

Two ships sailing
On a neon sea
Eat the flesh
Spit out the seeds
Feathered hair
And lame heels
What turns me on
Is so surreal

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego

Tut tut, oh, to discover oh
Oh no, you're yesterday's lover

Underneath the disco light
Everybody's feelin' all right
Get on your hands and knees
And praise the new deity
Serve the ego
Serve the ego

That's so Jewel. Interesting that it's your favorite song from the album, too. I like the sort of trance-like way she sings in it...makes me think of snake-charming music.

I saw her in concert in my home town last summer, and she was so funny, and suprisingly, she's tough cookie also. This woman in the audience kept shouting things at her, all drunk and stupid, while Jewel was trying to talk in between songs. And finally Jewel was like, "excuse me. When it's *your* show, you can talk. This is *my* show." And we all applauded. lol. She also made a couple more sarcastic/biting comments to the woman throughout the show, and it was funny. I like her gutsiness.
mine are...

1. AC/DC
2. Alice in Chains
3. Van Halen

i just got a CD from an uncle/cousin person and he said it was good odd and tribal in a different language so I just put it on the other day and OMG it is sooo good!

I think the language is Italian and the music is sort of a mix between Enya

What are your favorite songs that sort of define your teenage years? Sometimes I hear something on the radio and I think, "oh my gosh, I remember exactly what was going on in my life and how old I was when that was popular". But I definitely have favori

is anyone else out there obsessed with music from this decade? I think it's one of the best decades in music history. And I love disco. I also love all the folk songs, like anything by james taylor, carole king, carly simon, the list goes on.

radio stations just annoy me so much.

-they all have commercials on at the same time
-you only notice the radio noise when the commecials are on, never when the music is on
-the music is all repetitive-never anything new
-the really r

I really like most of their stuff, but I have like three or four or five very favorite songs that I am very partial to. Their voices are beautiful...did you know they were born either on the same day or one day apart? And they're both scorpios, which is

I heard this on some commercial for a car--then I looked it up and found out it's been done by a bunch of singers. Rod Stewart being one of them (dork alert, but it's still a kickass song)!

The Corrs
"Ooh La La"

So, I'm obsessed with this new song they have out called "Seven Nation Army" or something like that. But I can't find the lyrics to it anywhere, not even on the band's website. Can someone help me out? I'd really like to know what the guy is saying. I

Here's a good one (and good cover songs are rare): "We Can Work It Out" sung by Heather Nova. Originally by The Beatles of course. It's nice, download it if you can.

I hate all boybands, all of them with no exceptions and no particular songs which could even be considered "alright".

I also don't like hip hop or rap or crappy pop music like Christina Agulera or however her name's spelled, although some songs I
