It's My Life is from the album Crush (2000), Bon Jovi first new album in five years. Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and producer Max Martin (responsible for several Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears hits) composed the track together.
Released in May 2000, it reached #1 in eight European countries, #33 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 (but was hugely successful on radio) and the music video directed by Wayne Isham has surpassed 1.6 billion views.
"Ma Baker" is from the album Love for Sale (1977), the second album by Boney M. Frank Farian (the creator and producer of the group) was inspired by the true story of Ma Barker, one of the most famous criminals in the United States in the 1930s, leader of a gang that robbed banks and was considered one of the most dangerous women of the time.
It was one of Boney M. biggest international hits: it reached #1 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and several other European countries, selling millions of copies.
Boney M. was basically a studio project created by Frank Farian, he sang during the shows while Bobby Farrell was miming.
Cruel Summer is part of the self-titled album Bananarama (1984), the second album of the British trio. The song was written by Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward and Siobhan Fahey along with producers Jolley & Swain during an unbearable heatwave in London in 1983. The three were trapped working while their friends took a vacation.
The video, shot in New York (Brooklyn) during another brutal heatwave, shows the three of them sweating and suffering for real on the streets of the city. This visual greatly helped the song to become a hit in the US after being included in the film Karate Kid (1984).
Released as a single, it reached #8 in the UK and #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the biggest hits of Bananarama career and an absolute classic of dance pop of the 80s.
“I didn’t come here to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him.”
One of the coldest lines in FIRST BLOOD (1982) because it’s not a threat. It’s a warning from the one person in the movie who actually knows what Rambo is capable of.
