Style: Synth-pop/new wave
Here is another song where Al dives into television, including the actual lyrics from The Brady Bunch TV show. Parodying the popular one-hit wonder, “The Safety Dance,” Al showed his versitality.
Lyrics
You can watch Mr. Rogers, you can watch Three’s Company And you can turn on Fame or The Newlywed Game Or The Addams Family I say, you can watch Barney Miller, and you can watch your MTV And you can watch ’til your eyes fall out of your head That’ll be okay with me And you can watch (TV!)
You can watch Johnny Carson you can watch Phil Donahue And you can use TV Guide to help you decide with a capsulized review Say, you can watch 60 Minutes, even Captain Kangaroo But there’s only one set, so whatever you watch Well, you know I gotta watch it too
Say, give it up, give it up Television’s taking its toll That’s enough, that’s enough Gimme the remote control I’ve been nice, I’ve been good Please don’t do this to me
Turn it off, turn it off I don’t want to have to see The Brady Bunch Not The Brady Bunch Well, The Brady Bunch Yeah, The Brady Bunch
It’s the story of a lovely lady Who was bringing up three very lovely girls All of them had hair of gold, like their mother The youngest one in curls It’s a story of a man named Brady Who was busy with three boys of his own They were four men living all together Yeah, but they were all alone
Until the one day, one day When the lady met the fellow And they knew, and they knew It was much more than a hunch That the group This group must somehow form a family That’s the way, that’s the way That’s the way they all became The Brady Bunch
Well, The Brady Bunch Yeah, The Brady Bunch Well, The Brady Bunch Oh, it’s The Brady Bunch It’s The Brady Bunch Oh, The Brady Bunch, yeah
Oh, The Brady Bunch It’s The Brady Bunch Well, it’s The Brady Bunch Well, it’s The Brady Bunch Well, it’s The Brady Bunch It’s The Brady Bunch
I have been down on Monarch: Legacy of Monsters over the last few episodes. I absolutely can’t stand Cate as a character and her consistent dumb actions just make me want to stop watching the show.
I have been close to just dumping this show form the watch list.
This episodes was much better, mainly because it focused on Lee, with both Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell playing Lee in the same scene against each other. While there are some holes in the concepts (which I tried to push out of my head), the performances from the father/son duo was fabulous. In particular, Wyatt Russell was extraordinary with the situation that he found himself stuck in.
The scenes got even more intense when young Lee learned that he was talking to himself as an older man. The conflict within Lee’s face over the idea that he could just step forward and have a life with Keiko was written across it.
This was strange, because I felt the stakes in these scenes because I was never sure if something would have happened to change history. I really thought something could have happened, and that was a nice change for the past events. They have always been the best scenes of this show, but there was always the idea that nothing was going to happen to out main three. That was not this.
Yes, I basically ignored the Cate scenes, especially after she fell into the well and was perfectly fine.
I do think that this show has bought itself at least another episode of my viewership. We’ll see how long it lasts.
I jumped back into Agents of Shield last night and watched five episodes of the fourth season.
“Deals with our Devils”
Episode seven: Coulson, Fitz and Robbie are stuck between dimensions after last episode’s explosion. They can see and hear the others, but they could not interact with them.
May is desperate to save them, and she thinks the answer is inside the Darkhold and she gave it to Radcliffe. The idea of having Aida read the Darkhold in order to save Coulson and Fitz came up.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Rider spirit possesses Mack and he heads out to extract some vengeance. Robbie makes yet a second deal with Ghost Rider if he comes back to him. He would swear to keep working with the Rider to find vengeance. It agreed.
Aida ended the episode creating an artificial brain.
“The Laws of Inferno Dynamics”
This brought the mini-season arc of Ghost Rider to an end, as Robbie and the Rider are trapped in the other dimension with Robbie’s uncle Morrow.
Aida was in the heart of the attempt to stop Morrow’s bomb, and because of her action, she was allowed to remain active by Mace.
Daisy is seen by the press, but Mace stepped up and cleared her name. He reinstated her as an Agent of Shield.
However, we discover that Aida has replaced May with a LMD, and she is holding may prisoner.
“Broken Promises”
This kicked off the LMD story arc for season four for the next seven episodes.
Aida turned on Fitz and the Shield agents when they came to reprogram her brain to rid it of any remnants of the Darkhold.
Aida attacks the Shield base in search of the Darkhold. She gets her hands on it, but she gets beheaded by Mack.
Mack and Yo-Yo are fabulous this episode as they are going on about robots and how they are always turning on humans in the movies. Their banter about robot movies was my favorite part of this episode. When Mack cuts Aida’s head off , he says “Roll credits.”
We discover that Radcliffe had been working to get his hands on the Darkhold this whole time. He is quite the rat bastard.
Senator Nadeer’s brother is revealed to be Inhuman and she ends up shooting him in the gut. She has the Watchdog dispose of the body and they dump it in the water. We see a new cocoon form around him.
“The Patriot”
We get the background on Mace and the truth behind him. Turns out, Mace is not Inhuman. Instead, he has been taking a shot that gives him temporary super strength. He always has one of his men nearby with a briefcase containing the shots for any emergency situation.
However, he gets caught in the woods, with Coulson and Mack, by some rogue Hydra agents hired by the Watchdogs. His shots are destroyed and his secret comes out.
They are saved by Daisy and May (the LMD). Coulson convinces Mace to stay as the face of Shield, doing the political stuff, while Coulson takes the head of operations.
“Wake Up”
May is trying to escape, but we find out that she is not actually escaping. She is in the Framework and she is repeating everything in her “attempt to escape.” The Framework will become one of the major arcs this season in Agents of Shield.
There is a Senate hearing that does not go well.
The May LMD realized that she was the leak that caused Coulson and Yo-Yo to get caught breaking into the Senator’s office. She confronted Radcliffe and realized that her programming prevented her from telling the truth to Coulson or from hitting him.
Radcliffe is captured by Shield at this point, but Fitz figured out that this Radcliffe is also an LMD.
We learn of some tragic back story for Mack, whose daughter died days after she was born. mack and Yo-Yo grow closer.

This song really spoke to me…. especially that line that says I can’t reach the remote control…
Lyrics
I’m waking up, in Cheeto dust My belly’s covered with pizza crust I’m using my inhaler now I’m out of shape, fattening up I’m sipping Coke from a Solo Cup Donut crumbs are upon my lips, whoa
The TV’s on, I really hate this show I can’t reach my remote control Welcome to my new place, to my new place Sorry it’s a cramped space, but it’s my place Whoa oh, whoa I’m, really inactive, I’m so inactive Whoa oh, whoa I’m, really inactive, highly inactive
My muscle’s gone, I’m atrophied Always lose my fight with gravity I rest my bones, and just chillax, whoa My NordicTrack’s collecting dust And my StairMaster’s a pile of rust This is it, The Inertia, whoa
I can’t get up, this couch is part of me I’m growing cobwebs on my knee Pretty sad for my age, sad for my age I could break my rib cage, here is my age Whoa oh, whoa I’m, really inactive, yes, quite inactive Whoa oh, whoa I’m, really inactive, not very active
Near comatose, no exercise Don’t tag my toe, I’m still alive
I’m giving up, my energy is shot I’m never moving from this spot Never move from this place, move from this place I’ll stay here in this place, right in this place Whoa oh, whoa I’m, really inactive, just so inactive Whoa oh, whoa I’m, really inactive, not so attractive
It is EYG Comic Cavalcade time. It was another fun week. I got some deliveries from Midtown Comics this week too, including some Daredevil #1 blind bags and some variants.
Comic of the Week
The Fury of Firestorm #1
Firestorm has always been one of my favorite DC characters. I enjoyed the original appearances of Robbie Raymond and Martin Stein, combined into one being with amazing nuclear powers. It was exciting to hear that Firestorm would be back in his own limited series. Then, the first issue was excellent with a mystery behind what is going on. Good stuff.
Books this week:
Amazing Spider-Man #26. Written by Joe Kelly with pencils by Francesco Manna & Ed McGuinness. Cover art was done by Ryan Stegman & Marte Gracia. I also picked up the Spider-Gwen variant cover by David Nakayama. Death Spiral Part 7 is picking up the pace as the Carnage/Torment team-up gets even more dangerous as they are looking for a spiral for Spider-Man.
Neighborhood Watch #1. Written by Sarah Gailey and illustrated and cover art by Haining (Silver Medalist). The new book from Boom! Studios deals with a couple of neighboring towns: Willow Haven and Open Arms, and its neighborhood watch program. There is a murder that happens too.
Uncanny X-Men #26. “Careful What You Wish For” Written by Gail Simone and art by Luciano Vecchio. Cover art was done by David Marquez and Matthew Wilson. The kids of the Haven House are being grabbed and their histories are suddenly strange. And … the New Mutants? What is going on here?
Uncanny X-Men Annual #1. “The Rise of the Regulators” Written by Gail Simone & Mikki Kendall with art by Francesco Mortarino with Elisabetta D’Amico. Cover art was done by David Marquez & Matthew Wilson. This story was a great bit with the history of Haven House. That history is known as the Regulators and they have a tie to pre-adamantium Wolverine. I love when the history of the area folds in with the mutants.
D’Orc #3. “A Bit Light-Headed” Written, drawn and cover art by Brett Bean. D’Orc faced off with a powerful dwarf with a big hammer. I have truly been enjoying D’Orc. The humor of the book has been great and D’Orc and his crew are deep in action too. Solid book.
The Muppets Noir #2. Written, drawn and cover art by Roger Langridge. Kermit is still unconscious and the rest of the Muppets were trying to decide what to do about the show. Meanwhile, the detective Flip Minnow continued to try and solve the case and find Meringue Crustworth. The noir world introduced us to Staler & Waldorf, the Swedish Chef and Sweetums. Lots of Muppet fun.
Mad About DC #1. Cover art was done by Dan Panosian. Guest editor (for some reason) was Chip Zdarsky. I also picked up the foil issue of the same cover by Dan Panosian. This was one of the books I got from Midtown this week. It was a fun version of Mad Magazine focusing on the characters of DC. Tons of satire and humor.
Baby Garfield #1. “Baby Garfield’s First Word” and “Baby Garfield’s First Hairball” Written by Grace Ellis (1st) and Michael Northrop (2nd). Art for the two stories was done by Asia Simone and Rob Justus respectfully. This was another book I got from Midtown Comics. I was not the biggest fan of Garfield, but I considered picking this up on the shelf. When I did not get it, I got it and I liked it. I was surprised how much I actually enjoyed this book.
Everyone Loves a Jewel Thief #1. Written by Aaron Campbell & Tim Seeley with art and cover art by Aaron Campbell. Ignition Press has been huge lately and has been very successful. We have yet another new book, this one compiling a team of jewel thieves.
Dead by Deadlight #1. Written by Derek Fridolfs with art by Dean Kotz. Cover art was done by Alex Horley. This is a survival online game adapted into the comic form by Titan Comics. There are some horrific imagery in this book and it is a compelling start. The killer is definitely scary and I am curious to see how this book progresses.
Cosplayer Versus Shark #1. “Part One: Up from the Depths” and “Part Two: It’s Always Shark Week!” Written by Pat Jankiewicz and art by Shaun “Spanky” Piela. This was a wild and weird one shot that reminded me of a Carl Hiaasen novel, specifically Chomp. This is a lot of fun.
Pretty Hate Machine #1. Written by Ryan O’Han & Tim Seeley with art by Paolo Armitano. Cover art was done by Todor Hristov. Another new horror series, this one based upon the album from Nine Inch Nails. The new Mad Cave book was very entertaining and the imagery was scary.
Something is Killing the Children #46. “All Her Monsters” Part Six. Written by James Tynion IV and illustrated and cover art by Werther Dell’Edera. It has been quite a few months since we have seen Erica Slaughter. It was great having Something is Killing the Children back on the reading list. It is consistently one of the best books available when it is out.
Estuary: A Ghost Story #1. Written by David “DB” Andy & Tim Daniel and illustrated and cover art by Maan House. What is better than combining nun horror with aquatic horror… plus a ghost story of a shipwrecked Spanish vessel. Another new series from Oni Press.
Iron Man #4. “No Escape” Written by Joshua Williamson and art by Carmen Carnero with Jan Bazaldua. Cover art was done by Ryan Stegman & Frank Martin. Tony Stark is trying to find the winner of the Tony Stark Award, who has been grabbed by AIM. However, he comes across a different type of AIM… Advanced Iron Man.
Wolverine #18. “Clash of the Champions” Written by Saladin Ahmed with art by Martin Coccolo. Cover art was done by Dan Panosian (Bronze Medalist) . Wolverine faces off against Hercules, controlled by The Adamantine. It is a bloody and brutal war between Logan and Herc. And this will bring Athena to the fray.
Black Cat #9. “String Theory” Written by G. Willow Wilson with art by Gleb Melnikov and Andres Genolet. Cover art was done by Adam Hughes. MJ and Black Cat find themselves in alternate universe, living all new lives. Are their new lives what they really want?
Mortal Thor #9. “Inevitable” Written by Al Ewing with art by Pasqual Ferry. Cover art was done by Alex Ross (Gold Medalist). Sigurd has to deal with a threat from the Radioactive Man. Sigurd is preparing to launch an assault on Roxxon.
Space Ghost #10. Written by David Pepose and art by Jonathan Lau. Cover art was done by Francesco Mattina. Space Ghost faced off with something than no one can defeat…time. Specifically, Tempus the Time-Master.
Web of Venom #1. Written by Jordan Morris and art by Luke Ross & Ramon Rosanas. Cover art was done by Stefano Casselli & Federico Blee. We got another book featuring a symbiote and a new Venom form. This time is is Boomerang, aka Fred Meyers. I’m not sure why we need to have yet another symbiote anti-hero running around. The story was fine, but I am not sure why it is needed.
Twilight Zone #6. “Growth” Written, art and cover art by Nicole Goux. A sad story about a girl with a plant that was alive… an actual baby.. and the hatred that people who are different face. This one turns out tragic, much like many of the Twilight Zone episodes.
Bleeding Hearts #3. Written by Deniz Camp and art and cover art by Stipan Morian. The Vertigo zombie book is back this week and the Zombie boy is showing signs of being more than just another in the hungry horde. What does that mean? Bleeding heart continues to be one of the more intriguing Vertigo books.
Other books this week: Murder Podcast #6, Defenders of the Earth: Dark Destiny #4, Blood & Thunder #12, Absolute Green Lantern #13, The Nice House by the Sea #9, and Alice: Forever After #3.
Quick Hits: Moonstar #2 was released this week as Danielle Moonstar is on the mission. I picked up two covers from Midtown Comics this past week. Both with the guest appearance of EYG Hall of Famer “Weird Al” Yankovic. The first one was World’s Finest #50 with Al and his accordion hanging out with Batman and Superman. The other was Bizarro: Year None #1 where Al is portrayed as the “Normal Al” Yankovic, with a briefcase. I love Weird Al so I knew I wanted to find these two covers for my collection. Hello Darkness #20 had a collection of fun horror short stories. My favorite of the stories was “The Thread” which was pretty gross in the end. Transformers #31 focused on Megatron taking the next step in his status, in a manner I would not have expected. One of my favorite books this week is one of the oddest team-ups I have ever seen. It is Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theater Presents Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla #1. It is as wild as it sounds. Speaking of wild, the team up between Ash and Archie continues in Archie x The Army of Darkness #3 from Dynamite Comics. This one had a cool cover that nearly made the medal round. Sai: Dimensional Rivals #4 kept going into multiple worlds in search of the seventh stone. The idea of the different art in the different universes makes this book original. And finally, Speed Racer: Tales from the Road #1 which featured the winners of the Mad Cave Studios talent search.
We get more with Dunk and Egg as the second episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continued. Dunk has started to see his friend and mentor Arlan in a different light as he spoke of his life and no one remembered him.
Dunk approached the Targaryen princes Baelor, Maekar, and Aerion, who have arrived for the tournament, and asked if they would vouch for him. Baelor did remember Arlan and agreed to vouch for Duncan.
Dunk went to buy new armor, which led him to sell his horse Sweetfoot. Dunk did show some ability with handling horses as he calmed one down that had been upset by its rider.
He also had asked Tanselle to paint a new coat of arms on his shield, though he was not sure what to have on it. After some thoughts and suggestions from Egg, he settled on an oak tree with a shooting star above it.
Dunk and Egg participated in a tug-of-war with Lyonel, who was taking it fairly lightly. They did wind up winning.
I am still amazed at the size of the actor playing Dunk. He towers over everyone in the town and one would wonder why people do not look up to the character more, figuratively.
At the end, Dunk is able to place Arlan in proper position in his mind, and swears that he will be Arlan’s legacy.

Well, I used to live on chocolate sauce Made sumo wrestlers look like Kate Moss Walked down an alley and I got stuck I got more rolls than a pastry truck When I’m all done eating I eat a little more When I leave a room First I gotta grease the door
Grapefruit Diet (Diet!) Can’t have another éclair Grapefruit Diet (Diet!) I gotta decrease my derriere

The newest Keanu Reeves movie debuted this weekend on Apple TV + instead of in theaters. Is there a reason for that?
According to IMDB, “Follows Hollywood star Reef as he is forced to confront his problems and atone for his past after being threatened by a bizarre video footage from his past.“
This was listed as a comedy on Apple TV, but there was not a lot of laughter in the film. Keanu Reeves’s character was sad and depressing for much of the run time. He was playing a huge Hollywood star who had dropped out of the limelight for the past five years. Some of the details of his past are hinted at but never really gone into deep detail about, but he is on an apology tour, claiming to be sober.
Matt Bomer and Cameron Diaz play his best friends who have supported him from the beginning, but who are feeling taken advantage of by their friend.
There is a strong cast besides Reeves, Diaz and Bomer. Others appearing in the film include Susan Lucci, Jonah Hill (who also directed the film), Martin Scorsese, David Spade, Van Jones, Laverne Cox, Roy Wood, Jr, Drew Barrymore, Welker White, and Asante Jones.
I am not sure much about the story, and I could’ve used more humor in the dark comedy. Jonah Hill was over the top again, although there were some moments among the ridiculousness where we see some real character in his role. My favorite scenes involved Martin Scorsese, surprisingly.
Much like the other movie I watched today (Thrash), this is not the worst thing on TV, but I did find it a little boring. It is a fine film to play if you have nothing else to do. It is not going to be a great viewing though.
I swear I saw this movie, but it was with killer alligators instead of a pack of sharks.
That movie was called Crawl, and, to be fair, was much better than the new film called Thrash, which debuted on Netflix this weekend.
We will never be done with shark movies. There is something about sharks that make them horrifying, and the perfect killing machines, specifically on film.
There are fewer shark movies that are awesome than those that are garbage, but every once in awhile, there are some good ones made. Which category does Thrash fall into?
According to IMDB, “When a Category 5 hurricane decimates a coastal town, the storm surge brings devastation, chaos and something far more frightening: hungry sharks.“
Thrash has some decent moments, but there are some really dumb scenes that stretch plausibility to a level that just pulls you out of the film.
Phoebe Dynevor played Lisa, who gets stuck in her car as the flood came in. Lisa was pregnant. Whitney Peak played Dakota, a young lady who saved Lisa from her car. These two characters were placed in some ridiculous places in an attempt to survive. However, these two were more believable than the other main story.
Three kids, who were in a unloving foster home situation with a horrible couple, have to survive when the bull sharks make it into their house. The kids are played by Stacy Clausen, Alyla Brown and Dante Ubaldi. They were fine, but some of the situations that they were placed in were out there.
There were some questions I had about time as the darkness came and went very quickly.
Having said that, Thrash was not the worst shark movie that I have seen. I would consider it somewhere in the mid area of shark movies. Certainly it is no Jaws, but it is much better than stuff like 47 Meters Down or Into the Deep. I compared it to Crawl earlier in this review, but that movie was so much better.
I think Thrash would be a passable movie to watch on Netflix if you do not have much else to do. I would not say it does not completely suck, but that is hardly high praise.
After Mark got his guts ripped out of him last episode by Conquest, he has to take some time to heal. Two months? Sure, why not. Mark is unconscious for two months and Nolan and Oliver are left to pour liquid protein into his mouth.
The episode served as a series of bonding moments for Nolan and Oliver as they get past their personal issues and spent time training, hunting and eating some really gross looking food (that apparently Oliver loved!).
Nolan buried Conquest out of respect. In one of the post credits scenes, the show went back to the grave and lingered on it with dramatic music and I waited for the fight to come out of the grave. However, the music went silent and there was no reveal of anything. I really do not want Conquest to come back and so I am not sure if this was meant to foreshadow his return or to show that he is not coming back. Please let it be the latter.
The Viltrumites brought the war to Talescria where the Coalition was based. Things were looking bad until Mark, Nolan and Oliver arrived to switch the momentum. The war at the end of the episode was amazing.
Alan was the MVP of this episode as he was all over the episode.
The shortest song of the countdown, Harvey the Wonder Hamster is a song written for the Weird Al Show and the character of Harvey, who was Al’s pet but also appeared as an anthropomorphic hamster sidekick of the town’s crimefighter, Fatman.

Oh, Harvey, Harvey Harvey the wonder hamster He doesn’t bite and he doesn’t squeal He just runs around on his hamster wheel

Album: Dare to Be Stupid
Released: 1985
Genre: TV Theme Songs
Weird Al rerecorded the theme for the 1967 cartoon George of the Jungle for his Dare to Be Stupid album. His version of the theme was included in the 1997 live-action movie of the same name. This will be one of the few songs in this top 100 that Weird Al did not write or at least contribute to himself.
Lyrics
George, George, George of the jungle Strong as he can be Ahhh Watch out for that tree
George, George, George of the jungle Lives a life that’s free Ahhh Watch out for that tree
When he gets in scrapes When he makes his escapes With the help of his friend An ape named Ape
Then away he’ll schlep On his elephant Shep While Fella and Ursula Stay in step with
George, George, George of the jungle Friend to you and me Ahhh Watch out for that tree Watch out for that (Ahhh) (Oooh) tree George, George, George of the Jungle Friend to you and me
It is the penultimate episode of The Pitt and Robby is having an existential crisis and his buddy Duke saw it and called him out. Dana seemed to be able to sense what Robby was feeling. He comment about being afraid that she wasn’t going to see him any more.
Robby is clearly losing his patience. His chewing out of a couple of paramedics over their failure for gender bias in cardiac care was anything but kind hearted. Of course, they deserved the cut down.
Going back to Robby and Duke, Robby actually admits that he was feeling as if he did not want to keep going. This stripped away the question about whether or not Robby was feeling suicidal and places our concerns over what is going to happen to Robby. Noah Wylie is the star of the show, but does that guarantee that he will be safe.
The Langdon scene with the man with the spinal injury was absolutely suspenseful and tense. Langdon had every pressure in the world in this scene and he crushes it. I hope that this is something that can get Robby to give Langdon his flowers. That scene with this victim was my favorite moment of the episode.
My least favorite… the tug of war rope imbedded in the man’s hand. Ugh… HATE IT! I loved that character, but every time they showed his hand with the rope in it… I had to grimace.
If that was not enough… Dr. Al-Hashimi brought Robby in to a room asking his opinion on a case, which turned out to be her… and we find out that she has a seizure disorder paired with viral meningitis and altered mental status. How is this going to affect things?

A cool, up-close and personal look at Logan in the brown costume. The claws are right next to his face. This is a powerful image of the Wolverine.
Silver Medalist
Neighborhood Watch #1
Cover art by Haining
A new Boom! Studios book has a very disturbing cover. Who is this lady and what is she cutting with that knife? Is that a heart? I like the color of the cover and the scary concept. I am very curious about this book.
Gold Medalist
Mortal Thor #9
Cover art by Alex Ross
The first year winner of the Best Cover Artist, Alex Ross, is back on top with his solid work on Thor books. The look of the Radioactive Man and his green color popped on the cover. A great Thor cover once again.
Bohemian Polka is the only polka Al ever put together for an album that was just a cover of a single song, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. I can remember the shock when first playing the song and seeing how the polka would not feature a group of songs from a variety of artists.
Lyrics
Is this the real life Is this just fantasy Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy ‘Cause I’m easy come, easy go Little high, little low Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me To me

Hey! Hey! I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me He’s just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go – let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go – let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go – let him go Will not let you go – let him go Will not let you go – let him go No, no, no, no, no no no no no!
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me For me

Nothing really matters Anyone can see Nothing really matters Nothing really matters to me Anyway the wind blows – Hey!
