Nina Simone – I Got Life

  General Comment:"What about God?" I'm sure she actually says "What have I got?", which makes more sense.
  The muller advert version of this song isn't the original - it's Nina Simone vs. Groovefinder. The Nina Simone version sounds much more placid, it's like acoustic. I like both versions but I lke the "let's all dance about and celebrate" feel to the newer version.

  General Comment:Read the last half of the song Feckless, the whole song is about appreciating the things you've got and most them money can't buy.

  General Comment:This may sound upbeat, but it's about being a negro slave, and that all you have is your body.

  General Comment:It's a shame what they did on the spanish Audi commercial, cut and pasting the song and ommitting thigs like "in't got no culture
  Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling" that wont sell properly.
  But best are the subtitles in spanish that changes the meaning again.
  
  amazing.
