Lionel Richie - All Night Long
yea… so in case you didn’t know a lot of big things have happened in the us the past couple of days. i’m probably the last person on tumblr making any sort of comment about all of this. i actually had a good post planned out for King Day and the inaugration, but… i was out a little too much the past couple of days. i’ll probably make those posts though sometime this weekend.
well now on to today’s song. this is dedicated to Kanye West’s shag from the inaugural ball. when i saw it on tv i immediately thought about one of my favorite Lionel Richie’s song. most people think that i only love obscure and weird music, but i have a huge love for a lot of music that many think is lame, but one thing you’ll learn about me from this blog is i could give a rats ass. all night long is the shit. lionel richie’s fake ass jamaican accent makes this song a bbq/family reunion classic. it’s just a fun song about celebration. it reminds me a lot of election night as i saw people dancing in the street wildin out. that sense of hope and optimism was everywhere. now today things have gotten worse then they were, but i’m going to leave my pessism that has jaded my adult life due to the bush administration’s rule of my whole adult life and work my ass off and stay more optimistic.
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
(play on, play on)
Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
Were going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
Were going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come onand sing along!

All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good wild and sweet
Let the music play on
(play on, play on)
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
Were going to party
Liming, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
