Class # 20 - Sweet Child O'Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine

Sweet Child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine

Sweet Child o' mine
Sweet love o' mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Guns N' Roses is an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band, led by frontman and co-founder Axl Rose, has gone through numerous line-up changes and controversies since their formation. The band has released six studio albums, three EPs and one live album during their career.
The band has sold an estimated 100 million albums worldwide, including over 43 million in the United States. The band's 1987 major label debut album Appetite for Destruction has sold in excess of 28 million copies and reached number one on the United States Billboard 200. The album still remains the fastest-selling debut album in history. In addition, the album charted three Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Sweet Child O' Mine" which reached number one.

“The thing about 'Sweet Child,' it was written in five minutes. It was one of those songs, only three chords. You know that guitar lick Slash does at the beginning? It was kinda like a joke because we thought, 'What is this song? It's gonna be nothin', it'll be filler on the record.' And except that vocal-wise, it's very sweet and sincere…” Axl

Class #18 - Xanadu

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu

And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally

Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu

Xanadu your neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu

The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know, they are in Xanadu

The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu

A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star, an everlasting world and you're
Here with me eternally

Xanadu--Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu

Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu


Zeus, worried about the fate of a young painter, chooses one of the nine muses who preside over the arts to inspire the artist to greatness. So the lovely goddess Kira descends to earth and encourages her ward to open a disco roller skating rink. First, she locates a clarinet player whom she inspired in the 1940s, and convinces him to return to music by funding the rink. Then the three transform an abandoned building into a neon-lit, rock and roll heaven. But now that the painter's dream has come true, the time has come for Kira to return to Mount Olympus. The only problem is, the two have fallen in love, and do not want to part. But that's what will have to happen unless they can convince the gods that love is the ultimate dream.

Xanadu Your Neon Lights Will Shine

I LOVE this movie. Why talk about how bad it is? Because it is VERY bad. It's so bad it's good! Whose idea was it to merge fading musical star Gene Kelly with 80's pop sensation Olivia Newton John??? Throw in some ELO music and some neon special effects and you've got XANADU. Oh, it's fabulous!! Roller skating, off-the-shoulder 80's dresses, long hair .... This is XANADU. The storyline is negligible. You just wait till they get to the next song! The choreography is that Kenny Ortega 80's stuff. Look for Matt Latanzi (Olivia's ex) as a dancer in the background. By the time this movie gets to it's roller-skating in the round finale, you will be rocking! (The dancers/rollers chant: "Xanadu! Xanadu!" and perform some sort of choreographed hand-jive movements! I want to learn those moves!) Enjoy it, y'all. Like the song says: "Now that you're here, now that you're near ... Xanadu!"

Disappointing because Olivia is so much better than this awful script

"Xanadu" can't seem to decide if it wants to be a roller-disco movie, a dance flick, a musical, or just a vehicle for Olivia Newton-John, who is a much better actress than this lousy script allowed. And WHAT??? Is Gene Kelly doing in this movie?
The music is good, and the storyline could have been - a Muse, one of the daughters of Zeus, comes back to inspire great looking young man with a dream - but bad dialogue and some just plain dumb production numbers (roller skaters dancing and chanting "Xanadu" over and over - what is that about?) spoil it. Olivia has proven herself a capable actress, and of course her vocals are superb.It deserves two stars, and those only for the great soundtrack.

Class # 17 - Fame

Baby look at meAnd tell me what you see.

You ain't seen the best of me yet

Give me time,

I'll make you forget the rest.

I got more in me, and you can set it free

I can catch the moon in my hand

Don't you know who I am?

Chorus:

Remember my name (Fame)

I'm gonna live foreverI'm gonna learn how to fly (High)I feel it coming togetherPeople will see me and die (Fame)

I'm gonna make it to heaven

Light up the sky like a flame (Fame)

I'm gonna live forever

Baby, remember my name

Remember, remember, remember, remember,

Remember, remember, remember, remember

Baby hold me tight

And you can make it right.

You can shoot me straight to the top

Give me love and take all I got.

Baby I'll be tough

Too much is not enough

I'll surround your heart til it breaks

You know I got what it takes.

Repeat chorus
