Why Dont You Do Right? (originally recorded as Weed Smokers Dream) is an American blues and jazz-influenced pop song written by Joseph Kansas Joe McCoy in 1936. A minor key twelve-bar blues with a few chord substitutions, it is considered a classic womans blues song and has become a standard.
One of the best-known versions of the song was recorded by Peggy Lee and Benny Goodman on July 27, 1942, in New York. Featured in the 1943 film, Stage Door Canteen, it sold over 1 million copies and brought her to nationwide attention.
Lee often stated that Greens recording was influential to her music. In a 1984 interview she said, I was and am a fan of Lil Green, a great old blues singer, and Lil recorded it. I used to play that record over and over in my dressing room, which was next door to Bennys. Finally he said, You obviously like that song. I said, Oh, I love it. He said, Would you like me to have an arrangement made of it? I said, Id love that, and he did.
Why Dont You Do Right? was not Goodman and Lees biggest hit. However, it reached number four on the Billboard charts and defined Lees sultry and rich vocal style early on in her career. Lee married guitarist Dave Barbour and left Goodman in 1943. She intended to retire from the music industry and focus on homemaking, but she continued receiving offers to return to the music world, largely due in part to the success of Why Dont You Do Right? Ultimately she returned to singing, and collaborated off and on with Goodman throughout her career. They recorded an alternate version of Why Dont You Do Right? in 1947.")

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard is a song by American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. It was the second single from his second, self-titled studio album (1972), released on Columbia Records.
The song is about two boys (Me and Julio) who have broken a law, although the exact law that has been broken is not stated in the song. When the mama pajama finds out what they have done, she goes to the police station to report the crime. The individuals are later arrested, but released when a radical priest intervenes.
The meaning and references in the song have long provoked debate. In a July 20, 1972 interview for Rolling Stone, Jon Landau asked Simon: What is it that the mama saw? The whole world wants to know. Simon replied I have no idea what it is... Something sexual is what I imagine, but when I say something, I never bothered to figure out what it was. Didnt make any difference to me.
More recently, in October 2010, Simon described the song as a bit of inscrutable doggerel, while the radical priest has been interpreted as a reference to Daniel Berrigan, who was featured on the cover of Time on January 25, 1971, near when the song was written.
The song mentions Rosie, the queen of Corona, referring to a neighborhood in Queens near where Simon grew up.")

Music: Space Oddity (1969) by David Bowie
Video: Solaris (1972) by Andrei Tarkovsky
Space Oddity is a song written and recorded by David Bowie. It was first released as a 7-inch single on 11 July 1969. It was also the opening track of his second studio album, David Bowie. It became one of Bowies signature songs and one of four of his songs to be included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fames 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
The song is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut, and was released during a period of great interest in space flight. The United States Apollo 11 mission would launch five days later and would become the first manned moon landing another five days after that. The lyrics have also been seen to lampoon the British space programme, which was and still is an unmanned project. Bowie would later revisit his Major Tom character in the songs Ashes to Ashes, Hallo Spaceboy and possibly the music video for Blackstar.
Space Oddity was David Bowies first single to chart in the UK. It reached the top five on its initial release and received the 1970 Ivor Novello Special Award for Originality. His second album, originally released as David Bowie in the UK, was renamed after the track for its 1972 re-release by RCA Records and became known by this name. In 1975, upon re-release as part of a maxi-single, the song became Bowies first UK No. 1 single.

Deep Purple was the biggest hit written by pianist Peter DeRose, who broadcast, 1923 to 1939, with May Singhi as The Sweethearts of the Air on the NBC radio network. Deep Purple was published in 1933 as a piano composition. The following year, Paul Whiteman had it scored for his suave big band orchestra that was making a lady out of jazz in Whitemans phrase. Deep Purple became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.
Margaret Germano, better known as Peggy Mann (September 27, 1919 – summer 1988), was an American Big Band singer who was prominent in the 1930s and 1940s.

Born in Paris, Clerc grew up listening to classical music in his father Paul Alain Clercs home, while his mother Evelyn Merlot introduced him to the music of such singers as Georges Brassens and Edith Piaf. He began to learn the piano at six, and by 13, started to play by ear everything he heard on the radio]
During his secondary school and university days, he met Maurice Vallet and Etienne Roda-Gil, two of his main songwriters, and began to compose his first songs. He changed his name to Julien Clerc upon signing a contract with Pathé Marconi, releasing his first album in May 1968.
Lyrics
This melody
Is a melody for you
Cette mélodie
Cest locéan entre nous
Cette mélodie
Deau salée et de mélancolie
Dans ton pays
Elle te revient parfois
Comme ça, voilà, comme ça
Le vent dici
Fait voler tous nos oiseaux
Les champs dici
Font ce quils peuvent pour les troupeaux
Les gens dici
Qui ne connaîtront pas dautre vie
Dans ce pays
Dont les fruits sont si beaux
Quon se contente des noyaux
This melody
Is a melody for you
Les gens dici ne sont pas plus grands
Plus fiers ou plus beaux
Seulement, ils sont dici, les gens dici,
Comme cette mélodie
Les gens dici ne sont pas plus grands
Plus fiers ou plus beaux
Seulement, ils sont dici, les gens dici,
Comme cette mélodie
Tu est partie
Mais ton rève reste au chaud
Ce vieux soleil
Etait trop fort pour ta peau
Cette mélodie
Qui reviendra parfois dans ta vie
Cette mélodie
Dans ta ville sest transformée en pluie, en pluie...
Thats why
This melody is a melody for you")
