What is the moulin rouge? I heard it in lady marmalade, and i never really knew what it was. Thanks (link)
The Moulin Rouge translates as "The Red Windmill" .

This was a very popular nightclub situated in Paris in the nineteenth century consisting of...well..considered bohemianism...and courtesans.

It is still there actually.

The very vibrant and energetic film (directed by Baz Luhrman) introduces viewers to a world that the Moulin Rouge supposedly posessed.

Watching the film is definitley worth it if you wish to find out more about nineteenth century Paris.

Here are some links:

I hope this helped!!!

Enjoy!

Are there any songs about loving someone else, when you already are with someone?
Thanks sooo much. (link)
"Lips of an Angel" - Hinder.

It's a great song!
Have fun :)
-Alex


i heard this song but i dont know who its by i think part of the chorus goes like ".....reminace your hair in my face, adn the way your innicence tastes, and i think you should know this....." can anyone tell me who its by adn whaty song???? (link)
Sorry, just to add to the other answers:

If you like that song, you should consider hearing Hinder's album.

Its one hundered times BETTER than that song :)

Its one of those albums where you listen to it ten times in a row...and just DON'T get bored with it.

Here are the lyrics to "Better Than Me" to get you singing along :


I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)



have fun :)

I've been jumping from the tops of buildings
For the thrill of the fall ignoring sound advice
And any thought of consequence
My bones have shattered
My pride is shattered
And in the midst of this self inflicted pain
I can see my beautiful rescue

I'm falling more in love with every single word I withhold
I'm falling more in love with every single word you say
I'm falling head over heals for you

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings
At the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song
"Don't you leave me alone"
My bones were shattered
My pride lay shattered
Well I'll trample my pride
Until the whole world dance with me

I'm falling more in love with every single word I withhold
I'm falling more in love with every single word you say
I'm falling head over heals for you

Again well I'm crying out,
"wash my hands, these bloody hands, oh open my mouth and I'll sing"

I'm falling more in love with every single word I withhold
I'm falling more in love with every single word you say
I'm falling head over heals for you

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings,
With you. (link)
Not advice as such, but i would reccomed the album. Its almost as amazing as they are live.

This is definitely the best song on the album -(it's a self titled album if you did want to download it..you can get it at www.isohunt.com)

Take care

What are some motivational songs(preferably rock) that have to do with being an underdog? (link)
Im tired so i could probably answer this question alot better if i saw it sooner haha.

all i can think of right now is:

Nicklback- Where Do I Hide

American Hi-Fi - The Art Of Losing

3 Doors Down - Loser

Bare Naked Ladies - 1 Week

Blue October -Hate Me

Chris Cornell- Arms Around Your Love

Daughtry - Home

Foo Fighters- Best Of You

Foo Fighters - The One

Good Charlotte - I Heard You

Good Charlotte - Little Things

Green Day - Basket Case

Hinder - Bliss (i dont wanna know)

Hinder -Better Than Me

Hoobastank - Ready For You

Hoobastank - Unnafected

Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes

( i think ALOT of My Chemical Romance's stuff fits what youre looking for...definatley the "three cheers for sewwt revenge" album if youre into them...apparently Gerrard Way was an underdog for ALOT of his life!)

New Found Glory - Forget My Name

Nickelback - Savin' Me

Nickelback - Flat On The Floor

Panic Channel - She Won't Last

Panic Channel - Outsider


I'm not sure if they all fit what youre looking for EXACTLY, i think there may be some hybrid meanings within some of them and some meanings can be seen ambiguoisly ...but theyre either similar...or just great songs anyway :)

Have fun!

- Alex

Anyone know the song that's playing in the following video.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=z1TVWvsiteQ

it's important, please! (link)

..can i just add...the song is at the beginning of the video!!

..and it made me cry :(


I need alternativeish songs to play at a middle school dance.
We usually have just rap and hiphop, but we're having one where we don't play any of that.
What are some good dancing songs?
I've thought of

Are you gonna be my girl - Jet
Rollover DJ - Jet
For the Girl - The Fratellis

Help??? (link)
Lat year the school let the students decide which music they wanted to play. They put up a board and let people make up their own minds by letting them write their choices on it.

maybe you could have a suggestion box in which people can insert their ideas annonymously to prevent the critisizing of others.
What tended to happpen was that if a music genre wasnt liked for example, Rock, all of the people who hated Rock music would scrbble it out and write insullts next to the choice of song or band.

So, in doing this annonyously and having a variety would satusfy everyone at SOME point throughout the night and would prevent alot of squabbling beforehand :)

Good luck, hope it all goes well!

i want to find some "pretty songs"
like. where the music is just pretty.
i don't know if you know what i mean.

are just PRETTY. haha. orrr by
gregory and the hawk. stufff like that.
pleasee help out with maybe a list or

I think this mucic is pretty by an acoustic duo called Alex and Shaun

www.myspace.com/alexandshaun

Check out the song "Maybe"

Have fun :)


I love Pramore. Are there any other bands that have a lead female singer? (link)
:O i love them too ( seeing them on the 6th sept! :))

i used to be in a band and got told alot of the time we sounded like paramore haha

www.myspace.com/forbiddenlust

however that didnt work out..so this is like paramore acoustic!

www.myspace.com/alexandshaun


i dont think youll find many other bands with the same sound, after all Paramore are original and i think thats great, this band are inspiring teenagers all over the globe to become as sucessful as they are.

With hope maybe in a few years, there will be more paramores :)

all i can think of the bands with either all female members, or frontwomen are:
Lilix
Halo Friendlies
Garbage
Juliette and the Licks
Saving Jane
Lacuna Coil
Within Temptation
The Donnas
Evanescence
Slunt
Avril Lavigne
Bif Naked
Michelle Branche
Kelly Clarkson


hope this helped (somehow!)


Anyone know any songs about a friend betraying you? Thanks. (link)
"Faded Glory"- www.myspace.com/alexandshaun

the song is about betrayal by a boyfriend ,the loss of a certain feeling and how you wish it could all be taken back to start fresh again -although you know it won't happen.

HOWEVER, you can still find the same meaning within the song.
Lyrics have different meanings for different people.

Hope i helped :)


Is there any songs that talk about like, how you'll be waiting for your guy. Like Elliot Yamin's song, Wait for you. Except with a girl singing it?

or any songs about missing your boy.
thanks. (link)
www.myspace.com/alexandshaun

especially the song "Maybe".

hope this helped :)


I don't know if this goes here but it is related to music :D

Does anyone know any songs that are related to always being second best or nothing in comparison to another?

Thanks! (link)
Yes,

check out an unsigned acoustic duo on myspace:

www.myspace.com/alexandshaun

They have a few songs which you may be looking for with this particular meaning.
Especially the song "Maybe" :)

Hope I helped :)


I heard this song on the radio the other day, but I don't know the title. At the chorus they always start with "her eyes" or something like that.

Please help~ (link)
I'm not sure if it's been released ( seeing as this band isnt played on the radio in England), However, there's a Red Jumpsuit Apparatus song called Love Seat" and the chorus goes as follows:

"Her eyes are watering
I said we're better off this way
things change, its happening everyday
He'll come and take my place
and show you things that I just couldn't face,
we'll sit and sing a song
of what we did wrong. "

Even if thats not the right song, this one is a great song :) haha

hope i helped ,
Alex

Does anyone know any pop or rock songs that involve being imperfect? I wish that I could hear some things that relate... help? (link)
right

PLEASE listen to the song "maybe"

www.myspace.com/alexandshaun

see what you think.
its an acoustic song ( and a rough recording)


its about how love and a certain relationship was imperfect... as in the girl was never good enough.

listen to the words in the verse as these are more about being imperfect.

enjoy :)
and get back to me if poss :)


i usually am music savvy type girl and i always find my own music. but lately i can't find any. im into all types of music except pop. whats on my ipod currently is indie music. anyone got any good artist? (link)
check out this unsigned band from England called Forbidden Lust..im sure they'll offer what you're looking for,as they really vary their style.

they're on myspace: www.myspace.com/forbiddenlust

good luck. hope you like them :)


where's a good site to do music downloads besides itunes, myspace, and limewire [which is illegal anyway]?
maybe even a site where you can listen to the whole song without a lot of "buffering"?
thanks. (link)
you cant download songs, but its good..and has different versions of some songs on there..which is a bonus if youre a huge fan of a certain artist

its called: www.seeqpod.com

they dont buffer as much as myspace!!
just wait for the song to upload and away you go...

enjoy!
