Careless Whisper

It's a song popularized by George Michael in mid 80's. He wrote it when he was seventeen. It became one of the most played songs of the decade and voted Londoner’s Favourite record of all time in January 1995 in a competition run jointly by the capital’s leading evening newspaper and radio station.

And now in the Philippines........

Ito ay isang tanyag na awitin sa taong kasulukuyan.

Bakit?
Part of the chorus of the song ang kinanta ni Dr. Hayden Kho sa isang sex video scandal na laganap na saan mang sulok ng Pilipinas. Ang nasabing video ay mapapanood sa internet, cellphone o sa mga pirated dvd's.

Kapag naririnig ang kantang ito na pinapatugtog sa isang FM radio station o di kaya ay kinakanta mo o ng kakilala mo ay maalala talaga ang isang malaking iskandalo na kalat na kalat sa Pilipinas.

Here's the lyrics of the song:

I Feel So Unsure
As i take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

[Chorus]

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that i've been given
So i'm never gonna dance again
The way i danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

[Chorus]

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay

[Chorus]

Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Was what i did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone
