Edith Piaf - La Vie En Rose

The distinctive melody of this song makes it instantly recognizable. With music by Louis Guglielmi and regular Piaf collaborator Marguerite Monnot, it has lyrics by Piaf herself, and was the song that broke through for her internationally. The title translates literally as "life is pink," but is generally taken to mean looking through rose-colored glasses, a well-known saying.

Scooter - 4 A.M.

This is the lead single from Scooter's sixteenth studio album Music for a Big Night Out. The song samples the 1991 single "Promise Me" by Beverley Craven and "Million Voices" by Otto Knows. Vocals credited to Jaye Marshall.

Republic - Egy szó, egy hang

One of the last songs of this great Hungarian band, released just one year before the lead singer died.

 

Monza - Hallo Taxi Nummer 10

The band of Dieter Bohlen before Modern Talking, this song is from 1978.

David Bowie - Afraid

A great song from the Heathen album.

David Bowie - Where Are We Now?

Having not performed live since 2006 and rarely been seen in public since amidst rumors of ill health, Bowie surprised his fans on his 66th birthday when this song's video was uploaded onto his website. The tender ballad was recorded in the singer's now-native New York and produced by his long-time collaborator Tony Visconti.
The haunting music video was directed by Tony Oursler and also harks back to Bowie's time in Berlin. He is seen looking in on footage of the auto repair shop beneath the apartment he lived in, along with stark images detailing the bleak landscape of the city at the time.

 

Buckcherry - Gluttony

Josh Todd told Noisecreep about the song's provocative video, which was directed by Billy Jayne and filmed in a North Hollywood church.: "The concept of the video is excess, consuming everything excessively, and moderation is not even in the equation," he said. "I'm very familiar with that, and a lot of guys in the band are familiar with that. Because the record is called Confessions, we filmed the video in a church, we got Jesus down here - which is killer - and we got a lot of our fans in it, which is amazing - they came out on their own time and have really put in a lot of sweat equity, so thank you to them."

Bon Jovi - Because We Can

The lead single from Bon Jovi's What About Now album was written by Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora from the band with longtime associate Billy Falcon. Other contributions to the Bon Jovi oeuvre co-penned by Falcon include "Just Older", "Last Man Standing", "Everybody's Broken", "When We Were Beautiful," "Superman Tonight" and "Give In To Me."

Bad Religion - Fuck You

Bad Religion vocalist and songwriter Greg Graffin told Billboard magazine regarding this song, that it took him, "32 years as a songwriter to finally be able to write what I feel." Graffin added that he'd had the tune "floating around for a long time," which he'd kept humming to himself. "That's an example of a song that had the music before the lyrics," he said. "The only thing that really fit right there was 'fuck you,' and it actually ended up being just the right sentiment."

Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt

The song's lyrics involve a narrator describing the terrors of nightmares. The opening line of the song's intro and chorus (Nun, liebe Kinder, gebt fein Acht. Ich habe euch etwas mitgebracht, meaning "Now, dear children, pay attention. I have brought something for you") is taken from the 1950s German children's TV show Das Sandmännchen (The Little Sandman). Every night the show would come on and Das Sandmännchen would tell bedtime stories. This may entail the song's narrator being a darker version of the title character.
