If I had a penchant for betting I'd bet that the name Shirley Bassey brings to mind the theme songs to the James Bond films 'Goldfinger', 'Diamonds Are Forever', and 'Moonraker' in the '60s and '70s and little -if anything- else. No question, great songs brought to life by her unmistakable voice, but to me, the song "History Repeating" written by Propellerheads' Alex Gifford beats those by miles and hands down :-)
History Repeating
The word is about, there´s something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving...
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution´s near,
But to me it seems quite clear
that it´s all just a little bit of history repeating.
The newspapers shout a new style is growing,
but it don´t know if it´s coming or going,
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke rather sad,
that it´s all just a little bit of history repeating.
... and I´ve seen it before
... and I´ll see it again
... yes I´ve seen it before
... just little bits of history repeating
Some people don´t dance, if they don´t know who´s singing,
why ask your head, it´s your hips that are swinging
Life´s for us to enjoy
woman, man, girl and boy,
feel the pain, feel the joy
aside set the little bits of history repeating
... just little bits of history repeating
... and I´ve seen it before
... and I´ll see it again
... yes I´ve seen it before
... just little bits of history repeating
