l Devo and Toni Braxton we kick off our
list with two musical flavors which may
not at first glance mesh together opera
[Music]
Oh
the time of our lives brought together
classical vocal icons el Divo and
American singer Toni Braxton for a slow
and moving ballad used during the 2006
[Music]
the song has a 90s flair to it likely
due to Braxton’s involvement while ill
divos trained precision gives the whole

World Cup in the United States all
collaborated with the award-winning
vocal group sounds a blackness for this

similar to the Battle Hymn of the
Republic while evoke a mental images of
America’s heartland
Paul is pure class as his charismatic
vocals blend perfectly with the power of
sound of blackness it’s one heck of an
number eight we are 100 lei hola pitbull

soundtrack work or his career with
formidable prog rockers aphrodite’s
child but did you know he also
contributed the instrumental anthem to
the song was appropriately titled well
anthem and was released in an orchestral
version as well as the electronic medium
[Applause]
the songs trees a bit from the composers
soundtrack work on films like chariot
sapphire or blade runner’ injecting an
infectious Europop vibe to a short but
sweet bit of techno electronica number
six
una stat de italiana Eduardo bonauto and
Gianna Nannini if the slick production
and catchy melodies behind una stat de
italiana sound familiar
that’s because the song was co-written
by Giorgio Moroder the man responsible
for writing numerous soundtrack and pop
hits during the 1970’s and 80’s
moroder’s anthem for the 1990 Italian
World Cup is performed by natives Gianna
Nannini and eduardo Bonato

and true slice of old-fashioned rock and
roll the sort of swing and tune that
wouldn’t sound out a place blaring at a
drive-in or as the soundtrack to a sock
hop
still most Ramblers know how to write a
catchy tune and it’s somehow all works
perfectly
