sammigirl Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm trying to create a video for youtube, but I cannot seem to find any songs I need for it. I'm looking for songs regarding being successful, succeeding, making it to the top, etc. Can anyone help me out with songs about success? Thank you, Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Life's been good to me - Joe Walsh I have a mansion forget the price Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice I live in hotels tear out the walls I have accountants pay for it all They say I'm crazy but I have a good time (Everybody say oh, yeah.....OH,YEAH) I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime Life's been good to me so far My Maserati does 185 I lost my license now I don't drive I have a limo ride in the back I lock the doors in case I'm attacked I make hit records, my fans they can't wait They write me letters tell me I'm great So I got me an office, gold records on the wall Just leave a message maybe I'll call Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through Everybody says I'm cool (He's cool) I can't complain but sometimes I still do Life's been good to me so far I go to parties sometimes until four It's hard to leave when you can't find the door It's tough to handle this fortune and fame Everybody's so different I haven't changed They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time Everybody says Oh yeah (Oh yeah) I keep on going guess I'll never know why Life's been good to me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 What Is Success -- Allen Toussaint covered by Bonnie Raitt What is success? Is it do your own thing ? Or to join the rest And if you truly believe it, And try over and over again Living in hopes That someday you'll be in with the winners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 who says divorce isn't a success story? Fair point. But whether or not this song is written from the perspective of the injured party (as it appears), it is about loss, grief, resignation (defeat?) rather than success, surely? The ironic reference to a Winner in the title/chorus must be understood in the context of the bitterness and resentment of the "loser standing small". I rate this song as one of Abba's finest moments, a real highlight in the history of pop, and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
