This weeks theme for openmic is: JOY OF LIVING. It is a very interesting theme but at the same time, it gave me a very tough time to find a song that may go in line with the theme. This is because I have a very little song vocabulary and do not know much song.
HOW I GOT TO KNOW THIS SONG
I went to google to search for songs related to happy living and some how, I jumped into some list of songs in which this song was among the list.
I remember my younger sister loved this song. She told me about the song a particular day and was surprised I didn’t know the song.
LYRICS OF THE SONG
"Dynamite"
'Cause, ah-ah, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shoes on, get up in the morn
Cup of milk, let's rock and roll
King Kong, kick the drum, rolling on like a rolling stone
Sing song when I'm walking home
Jump up to the top, LeBron
Ding dong, call me on my phone
Ice tea and a game of ping pong
This is getting heavy
Can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready
Life is sweet as honey
Yeah, this beat cha ching like money
Disco overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go
I'm diamond, you know I glow up
Hey, so let's go
'Cause, ah-ah, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa
Bring a friend, join the crowd
Whoever wanna come along
Word up, talk the talk, just move like we off the wall
Day or night the sky's alight
So we dance to the break of dawn
Ladies and gentlemen, I got the medicine, so you should keep ya eyes on the ball, huh
This is getting heavy
Can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready
Life is sweet as honey
Yeah, this beat cha ching like money
Disco overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go
I'm diamond, you know I glow up
Let's go
'Cause, ah-ah, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na, life is dynamite
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na, life is dynamite
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, eh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, eh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, eh
Light it up, dynamite
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, eh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, eh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, eh
Light it up, dynamite
'Cause, ah-ah, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite
(This is ah)
'Cause, ah-ah, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na, life is dynamite
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na, life is dynamite
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa
WHY I CHOSE TO PLAY THIS SONG
First apart from the lyrics and it's relation to the song, it has really interesting funk groove which is very interesting to listen to often.
Since the title is about life and the joy of living, then I would say this song makes quite a description. Following the lyrics, you would notice, the writer is enjoying life and gave quite a description; Life Is Sweet as Honey.
