Merry-Go-Round Someone is tossing petals in a stream Somewhere someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams Someone got a paintbrush, is painting over doubts Someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out Someone was captive and found the courage to get off From a boulder in the well, somewhere the rain has stopped Someone is finding the place where they belong
Everyday is summer somewhere in the world And the summer boys are headed for the falls to kiss the girls With their impatient hands groping honey breasts and curls They are filled with desire And high in the hills there's a baby being born As forgiveness and peace wash over bruises and sores People bridging the distance over nettles and thorns
Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round Some things will rise up so that others come down If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow
A rich man counting money, a tired man counting sheep While the safe man counts his blessings, the hungry man has beans There's a million people praying, raising up their eyes To what turns out to be the same god, the same sky We are slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid So we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate We shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away
Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round Some things will rise up so that others come down If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow
Prisons will crumble and governments will fall It's the order of freedom to be preceded by walls Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied So we carry our shame in the interest of pride And we have all these questions to make us go roam And we’ve got all this distance to make us come home As the sun burns, a child learns, the tide churns, the world turns
Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round Some things will rise up so that others come down If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line If the faucet is tightened up the love won't flow If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow

Yma Sumac, a Peruvian singer from the 40s and 50s, had (at the time) the largest vocal range, spanning five octaves.
Currently, that record has been left behind by other singers, and the current record holder is Georgia Brown, a Brazilian singer.
Yma Sumac interpreting Chuncho. She can make bird calls with her voice:
And Georgia Brown, singing in whistle register*:
Georgia's range goes from G2 to G10 (eight octaves). G10 is 25,088 Hz, well beyond the hearing limit for humans.
The male record is Adam López, with a C-bemol8 (4,435 Hz). Here by comparison:
--- * The four registers from lowest to highest are "deep fry" (distended vocal cords, made in the chest and lower larynx), "modal" (normal voice), "falsetto" and "whistle." About 10% of women can do deep fry, while under 5% of males can do whistle.

"Crimson and Clover"~ JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts did a rendition of the song in 1981 that appears on the album I Love Rock 'n Roll, and reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. She sings the song with the original lyrics which are sung about a woman. Jett did another rendition of the song in 1995 as the lead singer of Evil Stig (Jett's collaboration with punk band The Gits) on the live album Evil Stig.
"Crimson and Clover" is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells. It was one of the biggest hits of the 1960s and reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #1 in Canada in 1969. It dropped from #18 to completely out of the Billboard pop charts in one week, setting a record for the farthest drop out of the charts.
"Crimson and Clover" was completely written and recorded by the duo of Tommy James and Peter Lucia Jr., the Shondells drummer. Lucia played drums and delivered backing vocals, while James played all other instruments and sang the lead vocals.
The song is famous for a unique "wobbly" vocal effect near the end of the song. To produce this effect, Tommy James plugged his microphone into a guitar amplifier, flipped the tremolo switch, and repeatedly sang the line "crimson and clover, over and over". When it was released in November 1968, some listeners thought he was saying "Christmas is over" instead of "crimson and clover." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_and_Clover
