Jessie J - Price Tag ft. B.o.B.

I would like to thank blogger friend 啤酒花™_J for introducing me to this song (see reference below). Enjoy !!!



Lyrics:

Okay, Coconut man, Moon Heads and Pea
You ready
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and
Smile

Why is everybody so serious
Acting so damn mysterious
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)

Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Chang Cha-Chang.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Blang Ba-Blang
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

Okay!

We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes,
Am I the only one getting tired
Why is everybody so obsessed

Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling Alright.

Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Chang Cha-Chang.

Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Blang Ba-Blang

Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

[B.o.B]
Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six strings and a half stack.
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I..
Yes all I need are keys and guitars
And its with in 30 seconds I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah we leaping across these undefeatable odds
Its like this man, you can't put a price on the life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice everynight
So we aint gon stumble and fall never
Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Chang Cha-Chang.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Blang Ba-Blang

Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (uh) Cha-Chang Cha-Chang.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Blang Ba-Blang

Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

[Jessie J -Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Oo-oooh
Forget about the price tag

Lost, Found, Not Returned ?!!

Here are my comments posted at Fresh Designer's June 15, 2011 blog article 執到"寶",點算好? :

Haricot 微豆 提到...

When I was living in HK, there was no strong guidance as to what one should do. Some ppl speculated that the police would just pocketed whatever were brought into the station - less paperwork that way. That was before 1997.

Generally speaking, things are more above-board here in Ottawa. However, I still would not expect lost items to be returned to me every time, esp electronic gadgets.

Exercise - 20110622 Marathon Training

I went out with The Running Room folks for their free Wednesday group runs.

I was with the Marathon crowd and we ran 10K in slightly less than 60 min. This is a slower pace than the triathlon group I usually run with on Monday. The personal best (PB) of the group leader there is abt 3h09.

Everything else being equal, youth does have an advantage !!!

A Simple Life

I posted the following comments on 啤酒花™_J's June 17, 2011 blog article "哪个会先来".


I cannot spend my life worrying abt whether an accident would kill me tomorrow.

I can only deal with things that I have control over.

Meanwhile, I work hard and play hard and make my contributions.

And, if my book is closed suddenly, I will be generally happy with what have happened so far.



Perhaps I just want life to be simple.

Exercise - 20110615 Running + Cream Soda Float

I was going to run in the evening when the weather was not as hot. But then K wanted to attend the 2011 Sri Lanka Film Festival at the National Achieve near Parliament Hill. To entice me, she said there would be authentic food served at the reception by the Sri Lanka High Commission. Well, how can I resist!!!

So I went running in the searing 30 deg C temperature (hot by Canadian standard) and rewarded myself with a cream-soda float after!!!

"Lavender Blue" by Gene Vincent








Comments left at Xiao Zhu's .....

【薰衣草藍】

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work,
Some with a rake, dilly, dilly, some with a fork.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to thresh corn,
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, lavender's blue,
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, and the lambs play,
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way.
I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing,
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, you'll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so.
