♫ “Butterfly, Butterfly” ♫

“Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)” – a-ha

On its last release, a-ha is thinking about freedom.

♫ “American Woman” ♫

“American Woman” (karaoke) – Sam the Eagle

A song called “American Woman” must be one of those patriotic marching band pieces by John Philip Sousa, right? Well . . .

♫ “Waka Waka” ♫

“Waka Waka” Sharam Arena Remix – Shakira

Energy music — if this official arena remix of a song from The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Album doesn’t make you want to get out in the arena and kick a soccer ball around, I don’t know what will.

Update: the official music video.

♫ “What’s It Gonna Be” ♫

“What’s It Gonna Be” – Orianthi

If you can’t decide whether to watch the fingers on the guitar strings or listen to the lyrics, it must be Orianthi in concert.

♫ “Not Afraid” ♫

“Not Afraid” – Eminem

This new song has a startling level of personal presence, even for Eminem — as the song says, “I ain’t playing around.” (Language advisory)
