Some radio stations didn’t want to play the record because it mentioned a commercial product by names (Coca-Cola), and because the lyrics were about local women from Trinidad prostituting themselves to U.S. soldiers. The sisters later told biographers that they were asked to record the tune and were unaware either of the copyright for the original composer of the melody (Belasco) or the implications in prostitution of the lyrics.

Jacques naît à Bruxelles, en Belgique. Il connaît une enfance dure. À 16 ans, il écrit des pièces de théâtre. À partir de 1952, il compose quelques chansons qu'il montre surtout à sa famille, mais celle-ci ne l'encourage pas beaucoup dans son entreprise. Plus tard, il obtient des soirées dans des cabarets, mais le public n'est pas friand de ses productions. Il se met alors à chanter à l'Olympia, toujours sans succès. Il finit par s'installer à Montreuil, en banlieue parisienne. Ce n'est qu'en 1957 que Brel reçoit sa formation musicale, dont il a été privé durant son enfance. Et le succès finit par arriver. On le réclame et le reconnaît enfin. Il connaît alors un véritable triomphe. Quand son père et sa mère meurent, Brel compose Amsterdam. En 1966, il arrête la chanson. Mais il reste de la place dans son temps pour des films, du théâtre... Il a plus de temps pour s'adonner par exemple à divers loisirs. En 1975, Jacques s'installe aux îles Marquises. Son état de santé s'aggrave. Un jour de juillet 1978, il se sent très mal. Il est hospitalisé jusqu'en octobre, le mois de son décès et est ensuite enterré aux Marquises. "Ne me quitte pas" rencontre un grand succès grâce à l'interprétation théâtrale de Jacques Brel. Il ne se contente pas de chanter, il vit totalement sa chanson... Regard implorant, mains tendues, perles de sueurs... Brel nous transporte littéralement dans un l'univers sombre de l'abandon et du désespoir. Jacques Brel, dans sa chanson, est littéralement "au tapis". À genoux, il supplie sa dulcinée de revenir. Une magnifique chanson sur fond de rupture qui est au fond une belle ôde à l'amour. La chanson "Ne me quitte pas" aurait été inspirée au chanteur par son histoire d'amour avec Suzanne Gabriello. Lorsqu'il arrive à Paris, il vit une grande idylle avec cette chanteuse et comédienne. Pourtant, à l'époque, il est toujours marié avec Thérèse Michielsen alias "Miche", la mère de ses 3 filles et qui lui donnait toujours son consentement malgré ses incartades. C'est Brel qui mit définitivement fin à leur histoire en 1961.
“You Never Can Tell” was released to the public in 1964, being sung by the mythical Chuck Berry. This song has a style of rock and roll, very popular by the time (although it emerged in 1950s).

The Beatles :’’ Yesterday ‘’ (1965) The Beatles were an English rock band formed in l in 1960 in Liverpool , by John Lennon , Paul MacCartney ,Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Paul McCartney wrote this song and was the only Beatle to play on it. It was the first time a Beatle recorded without the others. Paul McCarteny composed this music in one night. The music is considered has the best of the group , the music had almost 2,2000 covers. This song is about how sometimes we just look back and realize how our lives used to be and we see that the way we've acted has made us different and we want to go back but we can’t. That’s what people think but in 2014 Paul McCartney said that the music was about his mother and the melancholia about her dead.
In October 1966, "Good Vibrations" song was released, which was associated with the practice of surfing. This song was part of the album Pet Sounds, which led the group to be one of the most innovative of the rock up to that time. Half a century later, when the songs of that time were reviewed, this is one that time has not forgot from the memory of millions of listeners. When they released "Good vibrations" the Beach Boys were the most popular band in the United States. The group was formed five years before, in 1961, in the city of Hawthorne. They were three brothers Brian, who was the leader, Carl and Dennis Wilson, with a cousin Mike Love and a friend Al Jardine. Later, Brian, would be replaced by Bruce Johnston, at the time he became an unbearable guy, because of drugs. In the mid-60s, a decade considered to be the brightest, musically, of the last century, rock, which was so important in the previous decade to young people, was going through an unstable period due to constant changes in society and socio-political events. The war in Vietnam led, among other things, to a widespread protest among the American population. The young people angrily expressed their opposition to the conflict and ended up embracing pacifism by meeting in communes in San Francisco, proclaiming free love, wrapped in clouds and dreams under the effects of psychedelic drugs. "Make love and not war," they said in unison. That movement gave way to a creative process of songs inspired by such feelings and proclamations.This completely influenced the group, whose songs reflected the youthful culture of Southern California: surfing, cars and romance.
"Remember a Day" is a song recorded by Pink Floyd for the album A Saucerful of Secrets (1968), written and sung by Rick Wright. The sessions in which it was recorded also included "Jugband Blues", "Vegetable Man", "In the Beechwoods" and "John Latham". It was performed in September 2008 by David Gilmour, in memory of Richard Wright, keyboardist, founder and partner of Gilmour in Pink Floyd, who died at that time as a result of a short battle against cancer at the age of 65. Andrew King, the manager of Pink Floyd, mentions: "Remembrance Of Lane Lea ... we make 'Vegetable Man' there ... and 'Remember a Day', in which Syd makes a guitar solo". Another curiosity about this song is the null participation of Nick Mason, drummer of Pink Floyd. This is because the song is being recorded in mid-1967, that is, in advance, and by then Mason could not find a correct rhythmic base for this song. It was then that Norman Smith, producer of the album, took charge of this task, adding also accompaniment in the choirs of the song. The release of the single in the US contains monaurally edited versions of the two songs. This single was never distributed in the United Kingdom.

"Je t'aime ... moi non plus" a été publié en 1969 après un an d'enregistrement et est considéré comme "La plus belle chanson d’amour", en raison de ses paroles et de ses interprètes. C'est une chanson qui représente le refoulement de ne jamais pouvoir atteindre l'amour physique jusqu'à des degrés superlatifs. Le tabou du sexe lui-même. La lettre est écrite comme un dialogue entre deux amoureux. De plus, alors qu'ils tournaient le 10 décembre 1967, Serge et Brigitte se masturbaient tous les deux pour obtenir de meilleurs gémissements et des chuchotements sexuels bien réels. La chanson a été un succès incontestable dans toute l’Europe, bien qu’elle ait été controversée car aucune chanson n’avait représenté jusqu’à présent un acte sexuel aussi direct et il y avait beaucoup de censure. Malgré tout, il a atteint le numéro 1 des ventes au Royaume-Uni et 58 aux États-Unis.

In addition to what is the song about, in this song we can get the difference between the ironic and desire and it is plenty of incredible verses that can manage the perfection. Furthermore, the empowering song shows Freddie feeling unstoppable, to clarify we have some verse as "floating around in ecstasy," "like a tiger defying the laws of gravity," and "traveling at the speed of light."

This song is the opening track from U2's 1983 album, War. Sunday Bloody Sunday is the name given to actual events that occurred on January 30th, 1972 where soldiers in the British Army fired on a group of civil right protestors and bystanders in the town of Derry, Northern Ireland. Thirteen men were killed that day and this is the basis for the U2 song of the same name. The band has come out and said this is an anti-war song that is not a call for rebels to unite, but actually a call for people to unite against violence. Lead singer Bono says, "How long, how long must we sing this song". He means that how many people need to die and how many wars need to be fought before we realize what a life is really worth. In the third verse, Bono points out that many people have been killed during this war, but no one has really won. He goes on to say that this atrocity and others like it around the globe are swept under the rug or glossed over by media outlets in such a way that the facts appear to be "fiction" and what we see and read in the papers and on television are the doctored reality.

Andrew later revealed that the song came about when they were visiting George's parents

Red Hot Chili Peppers are a Californian rock band who have combined aspects of funk and hip-hop with rock and roll, pioneering funk metal. The band started in 1984. One critic has summarized their lyrics as 'sex, good times, rock and roll and more sex'. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of their sound is the bass playing of Flea, whose flashy, slap-heavy playing not only provides a groove but is also the source of many musical flourishes. They are also well known for playing bare chested, in fact Flea often goes one step further and performs naked on stage. Epic Records offered the band a contract where each member would be paid a million dollars, but through some odd fate, the deal did not fall through and the Red Hot Chili Peppers signed with Warner Brothers Records. After the sobering death of guitarist Hillel Slovak, the Red Hot Chili Peppers would also lose Jack Irons, which would lead to the addition of current members, John Frusciante and Chad Smith.
Bon Jovi is a rock band from New Jersey that was founded in 1983. This band used the so-called "glam sound", that liked in the 80s, but with the appearance of alternative rock in the nineties this style decayed.

It's my life is a song that was published in the year 2000. In the lyrics we can know the story of Tommy and Gina. Tommy is a normal guy who is on his computer trying to watch a Bon Jovi concert. Suddenly his girlfriend, Gina, calls him to tell him that she is at the concert and if he wants to arrive in time to see it live he has to be there in 5 minutes. We can see how Tommy runs through the streets of the city to arrive on time while being chased by dogs, he meets people disguised as Elvis, crosses the street in the middle of traffic, jumps over cars and a bridge. Gina and Tommy are characters that appeared on other songs too. For this reason in the song they also want to pay homage to them, because they "never gave up"
This song of Green Day is the fourth single of its seventh album, American Idiot, that left in 2004, but the video clip in 2005. The song and its title are based on what Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of the band, felt after his father died. Billie himself explains that the title is what he told his mother after running away from his father's funeral and shutting himself in the room. He said this because he could not accept the death of his father and wanted everything to be a dream that would end in October. For more information about the band: https://www.greenday.com/
