hmmmm a lot of popular artists mentioned here, you should
delve deeper to find the best music made then

no, no.. i'm pretty damn sure that's the backing vocal tupac
sang in "nothing but trouble".. and then the old judge
character played by dan akroyd comes in with the organ
solo..

and then later on they do a version of the wedding song,
whatever it's called, when chevy chase is getting maried to
the judge's daughter character played by john candy.

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground

And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You're at your best when when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power

probably not, i wasnt really into the indie scene (sorry for
generalisation). bizarre love triangle is an excellent song,
i always likes the subculture remix a lot, & the perfect
kiss (remix).

or if you were refering to my other post, nevermind.

"All around the world same song
All all around the world same song

I came for the party to get naughty get my rocks on
eatin' popcorn watch you move your body to the pop song
that I'm singin' dinga lingin' funky beats ringin'
everybody's swingin' in the place
as I kick the J A Z Z Y is my style
R&B mixin' it with the hip hop swing beat
Champagne in my hand, it wont be long till I'm gone
It's just the same old song

It's just a freestyle, meanwhile, we keep the beat kickin'
sweat drippin', girlies in the limo eatin' chicken
oops don't get the grease on your pantyhose
I love ya Rover, move over, I gotta blow my nose
Sneezin', but still I'm pleasin' to all the slimmies
Pull out my jimmie, time to get busy wit a Jenny
if it's good and plenty, dont you know
here I go, there I go, there I go
But I dont go nowhere without my jim hat
If I'm rappin', cause she's clappin
then I'm strappin' cause I'm smarter than that
then girlie maybe we can get along
Cutie after cutie, it's just the same old song

All around the world same song (all around the world)
All all around the world same song (it's just the same old
song)

i've only heard of the fields of the nephilim, which i think
were good but i didn't like the vocals too much, that was a
while back though, i probably wouldn't mind the vocals so
much now

pulling me down
