Fatboy Slim - Star 69 (2001)

No lyrics needed for this one... - I was never really a fan of Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim - - - until this one came along. Checking out the gay scene of Cape Town, South Africa that year, I remember going out to a packed-to-the-rafters 'Bronx' bar and there it happened: suddenly the DJ starting to fade the iconic '...what the f***' into the preceding track. I was blown away. Gob-smacked. Jaw-dropped. So was pretty much the entire bar and a massive cheer made the round. The same must have happened to most of Brighton Beach when the man himself aired it at a festival session - here the video. Awesome track!
There is also a censored 'clean' version, but - understandably - that one far less poignant...

Street Parade feat. Maury - Respect! (2007)

Soundtrack to my Morning: perhaps a bit heavy on the message, but I like it. Incidentally, this was also the lead track to Zurich's Street Parade in 2007, Switzerland's answer to Berlin's Love Parade in its heyday...

Street Parade feat. Maury - Respect! (2007) Lyrics: Life is filled with so many contradictions We're so different, underneath we're all the same Six billion different minds sharing one single world We're all trying to survive, we're living our lives Used the world forgetting how much it can take If we continue to harm our nature we harm ourselves We gotta protect our world With all the respect we have in us Though we gotta infect the world With love to reject the disease You gotta respect yourself Whatever you need is in your reach We can make this a better world To learn somebody has to teach you will start to see a difference In the way that others hold you in a steam This goes just round and round than growing deep from within We can learn to stand up tall and face a danger Building bridges you and I can walk across Let's stand together for all our nature just play your part We gotta protect our world With all the respect we have in us Though we gotta infect the world With love to reject the disease You gotta respect yourself Whatever you need is in your reach We can make it a better world To learn somebody has to teach I don't mean another world, talking to my generation And I'm gonna spread the word, gotta listen what I'm saying I don't need another world talking to every nation You know I'm gonna spread the word, gotta listen what I'm saying You gotta respect yourself We gotta protect our world With all the respect we have in us We can make it a better world We gotta protect our world For you and for me Just got to feel free We'll make it up this time We gotta protect our world With all the respect we have in us Though we gotta infect the world With love to reject the disease You gotta respect yourself Whatever you need is in your reach We can make this a better world To learn somebody has to teach You gotta respect yourself

Coldcut Lisa Stansfield - People Hold On by didjie Lyrics: Everybody's looking for a meaning Everybody's doing their own thing And nobody's solving the problem Ain't nobody helping each other Some people give into fear Some people give into hunger Some of us live for the future And some of us wonder Give a little light, give a little love Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little hope, and a little trust Maybe there's enough for everyone People hold on Don't do yourself wrong People hold on We've got to be strong People hold on Everybody's getting frustrated Why should we live with this hatered We've all dancin' on a thin line They're makin' out we're having a good time So who's gonna give us the answer Sister and brother Givin' into life, givin' into love Maybe there's enough for everyone People hold on Don't do yourself wrong People hold on We've got to be strong People hold on People hold on, people hold on to it you know you gotta do it Give a little light, give a little love Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little hope, and a little trust Maybe there's enough for everyone People hold on Don't do yourself wrong People hold on We've got to be strong People hold on

Lil Love - Little Love (2005)

Didn't know this lil gem was actually produced by Italian DJ genius Alex Gaudino...! Two years before his legendary 'Destination Calabria' (perhaps better known as Destination Unknown...) Alex hired vocalist Jerma to produce the most blatant - but brilliant! - sample/mix/copy of Coldcut & Lisa Stansfield's 'People Hold' On'. Feast your ears :-)

Lil Love - Little Love (2005) Lyrics: Everybody's looking for a meaning everybody's doing their own thing And nobody's solving the problem ain't nobody helping each other. Some people give in to fear some people give into hunger Some of us live for the future some of us wonder. Give a little light give a little love Maybe there's enough for everyone. Give a little hope and a little trust Maybe there's enough for everyone Everybody's getting frustrated Why should we live with this hatred? We are all dancing on a thin line and nobody helping each other. Some people give in to fear some people give into hunger Some of us live for the future and some of us wonder Give a little light give a little love Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little hope and a little trust Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little light give a little love Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little light give a little love Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little hope and a little trust Maybe there's enough for everyone Give a little hope and a little trust Maybe there's enough for everyone
