"Ah Music..."

Oh. mah. gosh. I am already IN LOVE with the music from Switzerland's Top 20 list. I'm sure this isn't even the tip of the iceberg, but I can't wait to be exposed to new artists and styles!

Ok, this video sucks, BUT the song is pretty dang catchy. And holy cow, good rap in english already blows my mind, but in another language... *slow clapping while standing* 

(P.S. drugs are BAD, and hookah is stupid.)

ohmahgosh. what is this dancing!? I LOVE IT. It's like Michael Jackson meets Grease! #soretro Also, her voice is awesome.

Just, yes. The Eagles meets Spanish classical guitarist/vocalist, anyone? Mmm.


Also on the Top 20 is Xavier Naidoo, who I am already familiar with (I knew a German exchange student once upon a time); I even own one of his albums, which I love. And apparently the Swiss are big fans of Ed Sheeran and Coldplay as well. Nice! Good taste these people :) Shocking, I know, for a country famous for its brilliant music festivals ;)

Baby You're So Classic

Sorry to post more than once today, but I am LOVING this song from MKTO and had to share. I dub it my personal theme song :) Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Hey! Where's the drums?
Oh whoa-oh-oh-oh
Let's go!

[Tony:]
Ooh girl you’re shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don’t make you like they used to
You’re never going out of style

Ooh pretty baby
This world might've gone crazy
The way you save me
Who can blame me
When I just wanna make you smile?

[Hook:]
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let’s get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this

[Chorus:]
You’re over my head
I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you,
Baby you’re so classic

Four dozen roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style

Ima pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman bringin' glamour back
Keep it real to real in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle

[Hook:]
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let’s get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this

[Chorus:]
You're over my head
I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic

[Malcolm:]
Baby you’re class and baby you're sick
I never met a girl like you ever til we met
A star in the 40s, centrefold in the 50s
Got me tripping out like the sixties
Hippies Queen of the discotheque
A 70s dream and an 80s best
Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn, Massive
Girl you’re timeless, just so classic

[Chorus:]
You're over my head I’m out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You’re one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic
Baby you’re so classic

xoxo,
