Birth Of the Rich [부자의 탄생] OST Part 3

Lee Ji Young and her brother Lee Seung Woo of Soulstar recently participated in the soundtrack for the TV drama “Birth of the Rich”. The CD was released this Monday as a single with two tracks. Both tracks are kind of jazz-y, and I especially enjoy Lee Seung Woo’s upbeat number. He has a pretty good voice.

Thanks to LENOVO for the tip!

Note: This single was used in the Meritz Securities TV commerical. Not sure what the rationale was behind the release of this single since it just contains two versions of the birthday song. I wish Big Mama could sing at my birthday party though.

“Gold” & “It’s Raining Men” Live Rips + Lyrics

I ripped the audio from Big Mama’s performances of “Gold” and “It’s Raining Men” at Ice Festa 2009. I ripped from the clean video versions without the announcers’ commentaries but you could still hear the cheers from the crowd. I hope they’ll perform these two songs on TV sometime .. I really like their renditions!

And since I’m so nice, I’m also posting the lyrics here. I crossed out the parts that aren’t in Big Mama’s version. Click on the title to download the mp3.

Gold (originally by Linda Eder)

I wonder if when all is done,
Anyone heard my voice…
But from the start, we have no choice-
Our journeys just begin

I’ll never know if I was right
Did I fight hard enough?
Or when the battles grew too rough,
Should I have given in?

But here I stand and swear to you:
I did the best that I could do

I know my voice was just a whisper
But someone may have heard
There were nights the moon above me stirred
And let me grab ahold
My hands… have touched… the gold…

My heart’s been driven by extremes,
Blind with dreams, tight with fear
But still, God knows that I was here,
And oh I was alive! And now i lay the past to rest,
For in the end, I did my best

You have to live the life you’re given
And never close your eyes!
You hold on and stare into the skies
And burn against the cold-
For any moment you might find the gold!

And there was joy through it all,
And I am standing tall
And though my voice was just a whisper,
Someone must have heard!
There were nights the moon above me stirred
And let my life take hold!

I rode across that sky!
And once I touched the gold
Here in my own two hands…
I once held the gold

It’s Raining Men (originally by The Weather Girls)

Hi – Hi! We’re your Weather Girls – Ah-huh -
And have we got news for you – You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home. – Alright! -

Humidity is rising – Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men.

It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!
I’m gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It’s Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It’s Raining Men! Ame———nnnn!

I feel stormy weather / Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don’t you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed

God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It’s Raining Men! Yeah!

Humidity is rising – Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men.

It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men!

Lyrics:

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (Ah!)

I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops, Mr. Moto, I’m a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot, and I’ll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Oh, slip me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I’ll cut a rug, ’till I’m snug in a jug
A sliced up onion, and a raw one
Draw one -
(Waiter, waiter, percolator)

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (Ah!)

Boston bean (soy beans)
I said, them little itty bitty Green beans (cabbage and greens)
I’m not keen about a bean
Unless it is a chili chili bean (Talk it boy!)

I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops, Mr. Moto, I’m a coffee pot (yeah)
Shoot me the pot, and I’ll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup (yeah)

Slip me a slug of the wonderful mug
‘An I’ll cut a rug that’s snug in a jug
Drop your nickel in my pot, Joe
Takin’ it slow
Waiter, waiter, percolator

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy!
