Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face
Brush shoulders with the stars
Where strangers take you by the hand
And welcome you to wonderland
From beneath their panamas

Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan

Castaways and lovers meet
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat
Watch the waves break on the bay
Oh soft white sands, a blue lagoon
Cocktail time, a summer's tune
A whole night's holiday

Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan

Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan

Pack your bags
And leave tonight
Don't take your time
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!

Pack your bags
And leave tonight
Don't take your time
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight
(Cool, cool, cool, cool)

Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan!
(Cool, cool, cool, cool)
(Cool, cool, cool, cool)

Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do?)

Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do?) es una grandísima canción del dúo británico Wham! escrita por los propios miembros de la banda, George Michael y Andrew Ridgeley.

La canción, lanzada por vez primera en 1982, cuando Wham! eran unos completos desconocidos, se reeditó en 1983 después de que su nombre ya empezaba a conocerse en todo el mundo.

En 1986 volvieron a hacer una remezcla a la que le pusieron el título de Wham! Rap ´86, incluida en su álbum Edge of Heaven.

Wham! bam!
I am! a man!
Job or no job,
You can't tell me that I'm not.
Do! you!
Enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

You got soul...
You got soul...

I said get, get, get on down,
Said get, get, get, on down,

I said get, get, get on down,
Said get, get, get, on down

Hey everybody take a look at me,
I've got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet down on the line
I said, I - don't - need - you
So you don't approve,
Well who asked you to?

Hey, jerk, you, work
This boy's got better things to do

Hell,
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt,
I choose, to cruise
Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife,
I've found my groove and I just can't lose
A.1. style from head to toe,
Cool cat flash gonna let you know,
I'm a soul boy - I'm a dole boy,
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!

Wham! bam!
I am! a man!
Job or no job,
You can't tell me that I'm not
Do! you!
Enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

Party nights, and neon lights,
We hit the floors, we hit the heights
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot-damn! everybody, let's play!
So they promised you a good job - no way!

One, two, three, rap!

C'mon everybody, don't need this crap!

Wham! bam!
I am! a man!
Job or no job,
You can't tell me that I'm not
Do! you!
Enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

If you're a pub man
Or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat with a trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs is where you're at
Make the most of every day
Don't let hard times stand in your way
Give a wham give a bam but don't give a damn
Cos the benefit gang are gonna pay!

Now reach up high and touch your soul,
The boys from wham! will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break your mama's heart, (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad)
But you'll throw the dice and take my advice,
Because I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing? Yeah!
Are you gonna get down? Yeah!
Say wham! Wham!
Say bam! Bam!

Wham! bam!
I am! a man!
Job or no job,
You can't tell me that I'm not
Do! you!
Enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

Wham! bam!
I am! a man!
Job or no job,
You can't tell me that I'm not
Do! you!
Enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

Wham! bam!
I am! a man!
Job or no job,
You can't tell me that I'm not
Do! you!
Enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

Do you want to work? No
Are you gonna have fun? Yeah

Do you want to be a jerk? No

Are you gonna stay young? Yeah

Everybody say Wham! Wham!

Say Bam! Bam!

Everybody say Wham! Wham!

Say Wham, Bam!

Don't need this crap!

Enjoy what you do?

Everybody say Wham! Wham!

Say Bam! Bam!

Everybody say Wham! Wham!

Say Wham, Bam!

Careless Whisper

Careless Whisper es una maravillosa canción escrita por mi adorado y añorado George Michael junto a Andrew Ridgeley, que formaban el dúo británico Wham! Fue lanzada en 1984 y aparecía dentro de su segundo álbum que llevó por título Make it Big. El tema llegó al Nº 1 en 25 países y vendió más de 6 millones de copias en todo el mundo.

La canción fue originalmente lanzada como un sencillo de George Michael como solista, aunque él todavía formaba parte de Wham!

Sin duda es una de las baladas más escuchadas de la historia de la música... eterna en la voz mágica de George Michael.

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
If your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good together,
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone

Now that you're gone
What I did that was so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?

Last Christmas

Last Christmas es una canción del dúo británico Wham! escrita por el gran George Michael y que aparece en el álbum de 1986 Music from the Edge of Heaven. La canción nunca llegó a estar en el número 1 en el Reino Unido, aunque sí que lo consiguió en Eslovenia y Suecia y la segunda posición en otros países, pero pese a ello ha sido el single más vendido sin alcanzar la primera posición en las listas de su país. Las ganancias que consiguió la canción en su primer año fueron destinadas a paliar el hambre en Etiopía. Desde su lanzamiento ha conseguido vender más de 1,8 millones de copias y es una de las canciones navideñas más escuchadas en estas fechas. Que tendrá esta canción por la que no pasa el tiempo y que no me canso de escuchar todas las navidades... que tendrá George Michael que suena siempre tan bien. Sin duda es una de las mejores canciones de Navidad de la historia... es mágica y seguirá formando parte de todas las listas de canciones navideñas por mucho, mucho tiempo... eternamente.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away (you gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognise me

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying: I love you

I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kiss me now

I'll know you've fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away (you gave it away)

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away (you gave it away)

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Oh, oh baby

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God I thought you were

Someone to rely on

Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man undercover but you tore me apart

Oooh ooh

Now I've found a real love

You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away (you gave it away)

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away (you gave it away)

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man undercover but you tore him apart

Maybe next year

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special
