Letra de Música: Melanie C - Anything Goes

Anything Goes

Composição/Letra: Cole Porter
Produção: Peter-John Vettese

Letra:

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today
Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock should land on them

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows, anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, anything goes

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes

When grandmamma whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolos
Anything goes

If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like
Well, nobody will oppose!
When every night
The set that's smart
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios
Anything goes

If saying your prayers you like
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like
If back stairs you like
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like
Well, nobody will oppose!

And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes
Anything goes
Anything goes
Anything goes

Letra de Música: Melanie C - Something Wonderful

Something Wonderful

Composição/Letra: Oscar Hammerstein, Richard odgers
Produção: Peter-John Vettese

Letra:

This is a man who thinks with his heart
His heart is not always wise
This is a man who stumbles and falls
But this is a man who tries
This is a man you'll forgive and forgive
And help and protect, as long as you live

He will not always say what you would have him say
But now and then he'll say something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do, will hurt and worry you
And all at once he'll do something wonderful

He has a thousand dreams that won't come true
You know that he believes in them and that's enough for you

You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so he'll get your love
A man who needs your love must be wonderful

Letra de Música: Melanie C - My Funny Valentine

My Funny Valentine

Composição/Letra: Lorenz Hart, Richard odgers
Produção: Peter-John Vettese

Letra:

Behold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble upright truthful sincere
And slightly dopey gent

You're my funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet, you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day

Letra de Música: Melanie C - Tell Me It's Not True

Tell Me It's Not True

Composição/Letra: Willy Russell
Produção: Peter-John Vettese

Letra:

Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
Something on the news
Tell me it's not true
Though it's here before me
Say it's just a dream
Say it's just a scene
From an old movie of years ago
From an old movie of Marilyn Monroe

Say it's just some clowns
Two players in the limelight
And bring the curtain down
Say it's just two clowns
Who couldn't get their lines right
Say it's just a show on the radio
That we can turn over and start again
That we can turn over, it's only a game

Tell me it's not true
Say I only dreamed it
And morning will come soon
Tell me it's not true
Say you didn't mean it
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end
Of an old movie of years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe

Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end
Of an old movie from years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe

As Spice Girls e o BRIT Awards

No dia 25 de fevereiro de 2015 Melanie C e Emma Bunton chamaram a atenção da mídia ao aparecerem juntas no BRIT Awards, maior premiação da música britânica.

Mas a história das Spice Girls junto da cerimônia não vem de hoje: começou 18 anos atrás quando elas praticamente roubaram os holofotes da premiação em 1997.

O BRIT Awards 1997 não só serviu para coroar o primeiro ano da carreira das meninas com dois prêmios, Melhor Single (Wannabe) e Melhor Vídeo (Say You'll Be There), como também para reafirmar o Girl Power no mundo todo.

As Spice Girls com seus dois prêmios em 1997.

Foi durante a premiação que elas apresentaram o medley de Wannabe e Who Do You Think You Are no qual Geri Halliwell vestiu seu famoso vestido com a bandeira do Reino Unido que é um dos mais famosos do mundo pop.

No palco: as meninas e o famoso vestido.

Um ano depois, as meninas receberam a indicação para o prêmio Melhor Vídeo (Spice Up Your Life). Não venceram mas receberam um prêmio especial em reconhecimento ao fenômeno de vendas de seus dois primeiros álbuns.

O grupo como quinteto poucos meses antes da saída de Ginger.

Desta vez, elas cantaram o então novo single Stop e Victoria se tornou o destaque do grupo ao debutar seu novo corte de cabelo curto que virou febre no Reino Unido.

Stop right now, thank you very much!

Apesar de não se fazerem presentes da cerimônia de 1999, Mel B recebeu uma indicação solo para Melhor Vídeo (I Want You Back). A primeira indicação solo de uma Spice Girl.

 

Geri abriu a cerimônia de 2000 com pernas gigantes.

Em 2000, Geri Halliwell abriu a cerimônia com seu single Bag It Up, as Spice Girls por sua vez encerraram a premiação com alguns de seus hits e receberam um prêmio especial que era dado para um artista todos os anos: Excepcional Contribuição para a Indústria Musical Britânica.

As Spice Girls encerrando sua apresentação em 2000.

Geri foi convidada previamente pelo grupo para cantar com elas e receber o prêmio, mas recusou. Neste ano, ela e Melanie C concorreram juntas na categoria Melhor Cantora, assim como Geri concorreu ao prêmio Melhor Artista Pop.

A imagem que todos queriam ver.

Geri e Emma novamente marcaram presença em 2001. Emma foi acompanhada de seu namorado Jade Jones, enquanto Geri apareceu quase irreconhecível para apresentar o prêmio Melhor Cantor, vencido por seu amigo Robbie Williams.

No mesmo lugar, mas separadas: Emma e Geri em 2001.

Geri Halliwell teve mais duas indicações na cerimônia de 2002: Melhor Cantora e Melhor Single (It's Raining Men). Mesmo assim, ela não compareceu no evento.

Mel B e Geri representaram o grupo em 2010.

Dez anos depois da última aparição das Spice Girls como grupo, Mel B e Geri retornam a cerimônia para representar a banda. Na premiação que comemorava os 30 anos do evento, o grupo venceu na categoria Mais Memorável Performance dos 30 Anos de BRIT Awards, além de Geri e Mel B apresentarem prêmios separadamente. Com essa vitória, o grupo conquistou seu quinto prêmio.

Solo Spice: pela primeira vez que apenas uma Spice Girl vai ao evento.

Depois disso, Emma voltou apenas com seu namorado em 2012 como convidada e em 2015 retornou com um reforço: Melanie C. As duas Spice Girls posaram juntas para fotos e com outros artistas, como a girlband Little Mix. Não é preciso dizer que isso aqueceu os corações dos fãs ao redor do mundo!

Melanie C e Emma 18 anos depois de sua estreia na premiação.

Em 2016, com as comemorações dos 20 anos do lançamento de Wannabe, seria interessante uma reunião Spice na premiação, não seria?

Letra:

Hahahaha

Been around the world a time or two
Forgotten more than you ever knew, yay
We can taste all this
Make your hair turn white
Make no apologies
For the good life, yay

Sticks and stones, they'll break our bones
But baby the names don't hurt

We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
Nothing you do can touch us
So take a shot
Baby, that's all right
We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do
We're pain-proof

I was talking 'bout the way we look
Better face the facts
'Cause you know you're hurt, yay
Sit in your car
Right outside my door
Why the sudden interest
I've never seen you before, no

You can twist our words to suit your twisted views
It ain't our damn choice to always be in the news

We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
Nothing you do can touch us
So take a shot
Baby, that's all right
We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do
We're pain-proof (pain-proof)

It's like a hide and seek in every part of our life
But you'll never get inside

We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
Nothing you do can touch us
So take a shot
Baby, that's all right
We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do

We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
Nothing you do can touch us (no)
So take a shot
Baby, that's all right (it's all right)
We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do (yeah hahahaha)

We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
Nothing you do can touch us (you can't touch us, no)
So take a shot
Baby, that's all right
We're pain-proof (we're pain-proof)
I guess we must be used to the worst you can do (we must be, oh)

We're pain-proof (pain-proof)
Nothing you do can touch us
So take a shot
Baby, that's all right

Letra:

Ohhhh, woah
Remember, woah
And treasure, woah, oh, oh

The world can be so cold and such a lonely place
When you're out there on your own
In a crowd it seems you're just another face
And you're feeling so alone

You've got to live for the moment yeah
Before the moment is gone

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt
And every time someone tries to bring you down
Remember, it's a day in your life
So treasure every day in your life

You've gotta live beyond your limitations, yeah
And keep your dreams alive
Even though you're feeling this frustration, yeah
You've gotta push it all aside

You've got to look to the future yeah
Before the future is here

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt
And every time someone tries to bring you down
Remember, it's a day in your life (oh yeah)
So treasure every day in your life

Oh,
When the odds are stacked against you
Hold on tight
We'll weather the storm
Oh, woah
When you're feeling under pressure
We'll pull together
Like never before

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt
And every time someone tries to bring you down
Remember, it's a day in your life (oh yeah)
So treasure every day in your life

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt
And every time someone tries to bring you down
Remember, it's a day in your life (oh yeah)
So treasure every day in your life

Fade

You've gotta dance (you've gotta dance) like there's nobody watching you (there's no one watching you)
And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt (i'll never hurt you, no no)
And every time someone tries to bring you down (you've gotta dance)
Remember, it's a day in your life
So treasure every day in your life

Letra:

Aaaahhhh Aaaahhhh Aaaahhhh Aaaahhhh Aaaahhhhaaa Aaaahhhha

I can give you what you want (I got what you Want)
I can tell you what you want (tell your secrets too)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing

Just because I kept your pager number
Doesn't mean I wanted to go on
Don't you know, that is just the way I am boy
Baby I'm not trying to be cool
I just believe that love's a waste of time
Don't you know, I'm not tryin' to press you over

Mamma said it I could play it cool
I'll have and coming back for more

I can give you what you want (my dear)
I can tell you what you want (to hear)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing
I can give you what you want, yeah
(I can give you what you want)

Honestly I love the way you send me
But a love ain't playin' on my mind
Don't you know, that I do not have the time boy

Daddy said that playin' hard to get
won't have them beggin' me for more

I can give you what you want (my dear)
I can tell you what you want (to hear)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing
I can give you what you want

I can give you what you want (I got what you want)
I can tell you what you want (tell your secrets too)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing
I can give you what you want

I know the things your dreamin' of
A part of me can feel them too
Give me a little time and I will make
All your dreams come true

I can give you what you want (oohh)
I can tell you what you want (to hear)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing
I can give you what you want

I can give you what you want (I got what you want)
I can tell you what you want (tell your secrets too)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
But that don't mean it's a lifetime thing (I can give you what you want)
I can give you what you want (I got what you want)
I can tell you what you want (tell your secrets too)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time
