You're Sixteen
Here's the original by Johnny Burnette, which peaked at number eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in December 1960. Johnny grew up with his parents and Dorsey in a public housing project in the Lauderdale Courts area of Memphis, which from 1948 until 1954, was also the home of Gladys and Vernon Presley and their son, Elvis.
This song was written by the Sherman Brothers, who wrote more

Vespers: White Coral Bells
White coral bells upon a slender stalk
Lillies of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh, don't you wish
That you could hear them ring
That will happen only when the fairies sing

Vespers: Now the day is over
Now the day is over,Night is drawing nighShadows of the evening,Steal across the sky.
Jesus, give the wearyCalm and sweet repose,With thy tenderest blessingMay mine eyelids close.
Through the long night watches.May thy angels spreadTheir white wings above me,Watching round my bed.
Glory to the FatherGlory to the SonAnd to thee blessed SpiritWhile all ages run.
Now the day is done.

Video: Yvonne Strahovski appears in College Humor's "Three Pop Stars, One Song"
"I'm from the year 3000. I'm here to eat your penis."
Chuck's Yvonne Strahovski gets her very own College Humor showcase, in this spoof music video where she takes on the guises of Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. It's the not-entirely-funny "Three Pop Stars, One Song" music video! But it's worth watching just to see Yvonne wearing a cream-spurting bra and (to a much lesser extent) blowing chunks into a toilet bowl. It's fun seeing her doing something outside of Chuck, anyway.

Advert: 'Virgin Media' (Dan Black's "Symphonies")
Virgin Media have a brand new advert, which you can watch above. It's pretty good, certainly more intriguing and stylish than Sky's commercials, if still very unfocused on telling people what the advantages of Virgin are over their satellite rival! And why are there no adverts for the excellent, cutting-edge TiVo box they have on the market? Crazy.
But anyway, what grabbed my attention about this advert was the beautiful music, which samples the theme from John Carpenter's 1984 sci-fi road movie Starman. It's called "Symphonies" and it's by an artist called Dan Black.
You can hear the full "Starman" theme below, together with other versions:
"Starman" by Jack Nitzsche:
Dan Black's "Symphonies":
Dan Black's "Symphonies" (featuring Kid Cudi) remix:
Dan Black's "Symphonies" (instrumental version):
Pretty great, no? But I wonder if Virgin are happy we're discussing the choice of music over their own cable offerings? Oh well, at least we're discussing the advert in some form. Time to rent Starman again, too.

Love not for all
Rammstein have accused of sadomasochism propagation
Rammstein in general always differed a width of views: in their creativity rather ambiguous themes in the creativity regularly rise. Participants of collective appeared time and again at admirers in images of murderers, tyrants and the terrorists, however earlier it, appear, confused nobody all. But here once censors have not sustained."Liebe ist Fur Alle Da" the group has anticipated an exit of sixth studio album Rammstein single release "Pussy" — the song left both in German, and in English languages. First promo-video on this composition has appeared at the very beginning of September. In a clip spectators should see the most known plots and stamps of German pornographic films. Also have seen. Not paltering, Rammstein have placed a clip "Pussy" on a site of corresponding character.
To show a frank pornography to fans of music has refused even liberal YouTube — representatives of video service have asked Rammstein to edit a roller and only have then allowed collective to lay out on a site much more modest version "Pussy".The album "Liebe ist Fur Alle Da" left in the middle of October and at once it has appeared at top of a national German chart of plates. Besides, "Liebe ist Fur Alle Da" it is predicted has taken in the lead positions in European charts Billboard, top lists of Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Czechia, France, Austria, Italy and Portugal. The great demand on an album, probably, also has drawn attention of experts of the German committee which is engaged in studying of influence of the audiovisual information on youth. Attentively having examined a cover, and then having familiarised with a musical component, department has taken out a verdict — as much as possible to limit distribution of this album.
The visual aid on a sadomasochism
Concerning sincere health of German youth the image chosen Rammstein for registration "Liebe ist Fur Alle Da" seemed to experts, that, is the visual aid on a sado-masochism. The committee was revolted with a photo on which participants of group are embodied near to the naked girl. The model lays on a table and obviously does not panic concerning that vocalist Rammstein has brought a finishing knife over a forearm of the impressive size.Jul 23, 2009
