"Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo

Here's to science and magic:

From my heart and from my hand,
Why don't people understand my intention?

(Weird)
(Weird science)
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces and
Magic from my hand
We're makin'

(Weird science)
Things I've never seen before
Behind bolted doors
Talent and imagination

(Weird science)
Not what teacher said to do
Makin' dreams come true
Living tissue, warm flesh

(Weird science)
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces (and)
Bits and pieces (and)

My creation--Is it real?
It's my creation--Ohh, my creation
It's my creation

(Weird science)
(Weird)

(Weird science)
(Ohh)
Magic and technology
Voodoo dolls and chants
Electricity
We're makin'
(Weird science)

Fantasy and microchips
Shooting from the hip
Something different
We're makin'
(Weird science, ohh)

Pictures from a magazine
Diagrams and charts
Mending broken hearts (and makin' weird science)

(Weird science)
Something like a recipe
Bits and pieces . . . .
Bits and pieces . . . .

My creation, is it real?
It's my creation,
I do not know

No hesitation--No heart of gold
Just flesh and blood--I do not know

From my heart and from my hand
Why don't people understand
My intentions . . . . Oooh, weird . . . .
Weird science!!
(Weird science)

Magic and technology
Voodoo dolls and chants
Electricity
We're makin'
(Weird science)

...

My creation, is it real?

Somebody Told Me by the Killers

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss

'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (woohoohoo)
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin in my moonlight

Well, somebody told me
You had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready let's roll onto something new
Taking it's toll that I'm leaving without you
Ready let's roll onto something new
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss

'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (woohoohoo)
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin in my moonlight

Well, somebody told me
You had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential a rushin' a rushin' around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now (maybe baby please)
When all I wanna do is try

Well, somebody told me
You had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around

Well, somebody told me
You had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around

Well, somebody told me
You had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around

"Doctor! Doctor!" by the Thompson Twins

Blast from the Past: 1984 I had forgotten all about the Thompson Twins and then I heard this on the radio last night:

I saw you there
Just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming yeah

I kissed you then
Then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams

Doctor! Doctor!
Can't you see I'm burning, burning?
Oh doctor! Doctor!
Is this love I'm feeling?

Gifts at night
Give such delight
We all leave
Before the morning light
Please don't go
No, please don't go
'Cause I don't want to stay here on my own

Ohhhh

Doctor! Doctor!
Can't you see I'm burning, burning?
Oh doctor! Doctor!
Is this love I'm feeling?

Oh, doctor! Doctor!
Can't you see I'm burning, burning?
Oh doctor! Doctor!
Is this love I'm feeling?

Fever breathe your love on me
Take away my name
Fever lay your hands on me
Never be the same

Ohhh

Doctor! Doctor!
Can't you see I'm burning, burning?
Oh, doctor! Doctor!
Is this love I'm feeling?

Doctor! Doctor!
Can't you see I'm burning, burning?
Oh, doctor! Doctor!
Is this love I'm feeling?

Come with me
And make believe
We can travel to eternity.

Lil' Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs

Owoooooooo
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything a big bad wolf could want

Listen to me

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
Owoooooooo

What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways

What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Owoooooooo

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place

Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want
Owoooooooo
I mean baaaaaa
Baaa
