Imagine of John Lennon

The song expresses the hope for a better world without war, greed and hunger. The message of this
song is that a world where everyone is equal and lives in peace is possible. In this world there are no
nations and no religions. There is no heaven and no hell and people can live in a brotherhood of man.
John Lennon and his wife (Yoko Ono) composed the song together. The song was released in 1971.
John Lennon wrote this song to make a political statement. A statement against war, hunger,
possesion and religion. I think he wanted people to create a world where they can "live as one". I
think the song is still famous because the words of the song are still important today. There are still
wars going on, people are still killing each other for religious reasons and people are still dying of
hunger. The first literary term that I have found in this song is 'End rhyme': "try - sky" , "do - too" and
"can - man". The second one is 'Point of view': John Lennon uses an "I" point of view. He tells us
about his dream for a better world. The third one is 'Repetition': the word "Imagine" is repeated 6
times. The phrase "You may say I am a dreamer", is repeated two times. These words tell us that the
world John Lennon hopes for does not exist. He hopes that it will come true "someday".

Songtext 1: Imagine by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us, only sky Imagine all the people

Livin' for today

Ah Imagine there's no countries

 It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too Imagine all the people

Livin' life in peace

You You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

Dance the night away by The Mavericks

This song is about a man who was unhappy because his girlfriend left him. Now he feels free and he
wants to find his happiness again by dancing the whole night with girls or women who can sway. He
also says that he never wants to see his old girlfriend again. This song has no special message. It only
tells how a person feels after he is left by his girlfriend. This song was released on 10 March 1998.
The name of the album is "Trampoline" The genre of this song is "poprock".The leader of The
Mavericks, Raoul Malo, said that the lyrics stemmed from the feeling that you need to escape from
whatever things you are doing. I think that the song is still famous because of the Latin American
sound. It makes you feel like dancing yourself. An other reason is that the clip of this song is very
 funny. The first literary item that I have found in this text is 'End rhyme': "free-me", "away-sway'',
''bright-light'', ''well-tell'' and "no-go''. The second one is 'Repetition'. The chorus of this song "I just
wanna dance the night away... light" is repeated four times. The third one is 'Mood': the atmosphere
is clearly a happy one.

Here comes my happiness again

Right back to where it should have been

'Cause now she's gone and I am free

And she can't do a thing to me

I just wanna dance the night away

With señoritas who can sway

Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright

Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if you should see her

Please let her know that I'm well

As you can tell

 And if she should tell you

That she wants me back

Tell her no

I gotta go

I just wanna dance the night away

With señoritas who can sway

Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright

Just like the sunny mornin' light

And if you should see her

Please let her know that I'm well

As you can tell

And if she should tell you

That she wants me back

Tell her no

I gotta go

I just wanna dance the night away

With señoritas who can sway

Right now tomorrow's lookin' bright

Just like the sunny mornin' light

I just wanna dance the night away

With señoritas who can sway

Just like the sunny mornin' light

Dancing Queen by ABBA

This song is about a girl who is 17 years old and is dancing on a dancefloor. She is the "Dancing
Queen" and she trying to find her "King".She is teasing the boys and leaves them just as easy
because "anyone could be that guy".

I think there is no message in this song. Perhaps people think of the time they were young when they
are listening to this song.

The song was released in 1976 and can be found on the album "Arrival". The song was a real world
hit! The song describes a typical Friday night in the seventies. People go out to a disco and have the
time of their lives.

I think this song is still famous because the song is very catchy and it is very well made.

Another reason is that ABBA is world famous. They won the European Song Contest with the song
"Waterloo" in 1974. And from that moment the have been very populair.

The first literary item is 'End Rhyme': "Live-Jive", "scene-queen", "low-go", "swing-king", ''guy-high",
etc.

The second one is 'Imagery', for example ''leave'em burning and then you're gone'', in reality the
boys the girl is dancing with do not 'burn'. Burn means that she just leaves them and goes to another
boy.

The third one is 'Point of view', the story is told by someone who does'nt take part in a story. The you
point of view tells us what he sees: a girl who is dancing and is having the time of her live.

Ooh You can dance

Digging the dancing queen Friday night and the lights are low

Looking out for a place to go

Where they play the right music

Getting in the swing

You come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy

Night is young and the music's high

With a bit of rock music

Everything is fine

You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen
 Young and sweet

Only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen You're a teaser, you turn 'em on

Leave 'em burning and then you're gone

Only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance

You can jive

Girls Just Want To Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper

The song is about a girl who is telling her mother and father that girls want to go out at night and
have, fun just like boys. In the 80's girls were expected to stay at home and lead a decent life and
prepare themselves for marriage and being a housewife. Cindy Lauper is a feminist and she believes
in equal rights for men and women. Also girls have the right to go out and have fun. This is the
message of the song.

The original version of the song was written by Robert Hazard in 1971. The song was sung from a
man's point of view. The word 'fun' meant that boys were having sex with girls. Cindy Lauper
changed the lyrics of the song, now this song tells a story of girls that want to have fun. Cindy Lauper
released the song in 1983.

I think that this song is still populair because Cindy Lauper's song is a exemple for girls and other
groups fighting for equal rights.

The first Literary item i found is 'End Rhyme': "Light-right-night'' ''fun-sun''

The second one is 'point of view': The story is told from an I point of view. This is a girl.

The third one is 'repetition': "They wanna have fun is repeated a lot.

Living Doll by Cliff Richard/The Shadows

The song is about a person who got himself a 'living' doll. He is very pleased with this doll because it
can cry, talk, sleep, walk and even its hair looks real. The underlying message is that the singer
compares a cute-looking girl to a plastic doll. He is going to "lock her up in a trunk". This means that
he wants to hide his girlfriend from other good-looking boys. No one else can have her. The song was
written in 1958 by Lionel Bart. He needed only ten minutes to write the lyrics after he had seen an
advert in a newsaper for a child's doll. The doll could walk, sit and sing. The song was released in
1959 and it was written for the film 'Serious Charge'. Cliff Richard plays a part in this film and sings
'Living Doll' and to other songs. The writer doesn't want to tell anything special with the song.
People still listen to the song because it is an all time classic. Another reason why this song is still
populair is that Cliff Richard is a rock 'n' roll legend and one of the greatest pop artist in Great-
Brittain. The first literary term is 'Repetition': the word got is repeated 12 times and a great part of
the lines of the song are repeated 3 times. The second literary term is 'End rhyme': ''real-feal'' The
third one is 'Point of view': an "I" point of view tells the story

Got myself a cryin', talkin'

Sleepin', walkin', livin' doll

Got to do my best to please her

Just 'cos she's a livin' doll

Got the one and only, walkin', talkin', livin' doll Take a look at her hair, it's real

And if you don't believe what I say, just feel

I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk

Sleepin', walkin', livin' doll

Got to do my best to please her

Just 'cos she's a livin' doll

Got a rovin' eye

Albatross by Fleetwood Mac

'Albatross' by Fleetwood Mac is a song without lyrics. It is an instumental song played by guitars. The
music is very relaxing. The instruments, drums and guitars, imitate the sound of waves and the sea.
When you listen to the music you can imagine that an albatross is flying above the sea. I think there
is no special message hidden in this song. 'Albatross' was released in November 1968. The name of
this song comes from one of the biggest seabirds in the world called the albatross. An albatross can
fly in the air for a very long time. I found the following information about the song. Peter Green, the
guitarist of Fleetwood Mac, got the idea to of writing this song because he had read the poem "The
rime of the ancient mariner". This poem was written by the British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in
1798. In this poem an albatross follows the boat of a group of sailors. One of the sailors kills the bird
with a crossbow. This will bring bad luck to the sailors. I think this song is still popular because there
are not so many instrumental rock songs, like 'Albatross'. The way 'Fleetwood Mac' creates the
soundscape of the sea is very special. The song is used in many documentaries and films. This is also
a reason why the song is still popular. The first literary item is 'Mood': the relaxing mood is created
by using only musical instruments. The second literary item is 'Onomatopoeia': the sounds of the
instruments, drums and guitars, try to imitate the sound of the sea. The third literary item is
'Metaphor'. The word 'Albatross' is sometimes used as a methaphor. It can mean a curse or bad luck.
