Re: CANADA - WV62 FINAL #15: Cirque du Soleil - Alegria | CanadaSong 63: Back to the 80s
As the Cirque prepares their performance for the final, I thought it would be great to jump right in with our national final for WV63!
Canadian music of the 80s is something I'm really passionate about, it's mostly the songs I grew up with and loved. Let's go back to the 80s and find Canada's song for the next WV edition
Please listen to each song below:
Song 1: The Spoons - Romantic Traffic (1984)
Song 2: Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance (1982)
Song 3: Lisa Lougheed - Run With Us (1988)
Song 4: Chilliwack - My Girl (Gone, Gone Gone) (1981)
Song 5: Gowan - Cosmetics (1985)
Once you've finished listening to all the songs, score them this way:
(12 being the one you like best, 4 being your least favorite)
Now send a PM to esc87fan with your votes. The deadline will be April 23 at 20 CET (14 EDT)
Enjoy!

The group is more than qualified to represent Canada, they're from Montreal. I hope you enjoy the other songs too

WORLDVISION 63 ZAGREB
Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
This popular new wave band hails from Montreal and won CanadaSong 63 in a landslide with their 1982 smash hit "Safety Dance". It is said to be a protest song against the banning of "pogoing" in dance clubs, but gained worldwide fame. Will its retro magic work on the WorldVision voters?

Lyrics
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Or sing!
We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
And say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance
We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Oh yes, the safety dance
Oh, the safety dance, yeah
Well, it's the safety dance
It's the safety dance
Well, it's the safety dance
Oh, it's the safety dance
Oh, it's the safety dance
Oh, it's the safety dance

Re: CANADA - WV64
Well, looks like we need a new game plan. But thank you to everyone who supported this 80s classic, 4th in REJU was a great achievement
CBMC is trying to think of what to send for Canada's next entry, but it seems like they've hit a brick wall

Lyrics
Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 'No"
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway

No matter what you say

Re: CANADA - WV65: A Milestone Edition
So Magic! couldn't bring their magic to the final, thank you to those who supported the song.
As I've mentioned before, WV65 will be my 20th edition as Canadian juror, but it also marks my 50th edition in the WorldVision community (I am also approaching 3 years in the game)! As such, we want to celebrate big, and CBMC is looking to bring this artist back for the occasion (she gave us a 4th-place finish in WV47 with "A New Day Has Come")!
Is there a song of hers you want to see for our big milestone edition?

I can't believe that you did not qualify, I only gave 7 points, but could have given 12 to this. I am shocked!

After nearly 3 years of being part of the WorldVision community, I have reached my 20th edition as Canadian juror and 50th edition overall! So we're bringing back one of our biggest stars for the occasion
18 editions have passed since Celine gave Canada a 4th-place finish with "A New Day Has Come". Now she comes to Spain with the biggest hit from her 1999 compilation All The Way: A Decade of Song

Lyrics
I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah
So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

Re: CANADA - WV66: A song from my childhood
As I close the book on my 50th edition overall, it's been an absolute honor to share 30 editions of Swiss music and 20 of Canadian music with all of you over the last 3 years. I took Switzerland in the beginning hoping to challenge myself, but everything I've learned has paid off. Thank you for all the love and support!
My next song as I mentioned is one that's very close to my childhood growing up in the 80s. I hope you will love it as much as I do because it's a very special song to me
See you all in Ireland!
