Choosing Music Videos From Will to Power to Madonna

A difficult choice for me to make:

Which video to play next?

I like Will Power, it's reminding me of Sheryl and Dave and her Titanic story, of how her heart will go on

I like Lucky, it's about Shanil, who is just like me, and like my big bro, and Rukshi, and how Shanil told me, how both of us, the dads were cut down in their prime, and his dad's name is Lucky

That O Jays song is clearly about Trump

If I

I mean, it's crazy, those people are crazy

They should have licensed it to the Trump people, and MAGA

They would have made millions of dollars in royalties and sales

When Trump ("Mr Trump") comes to SL, we will play it for him

I don't feel like Prince, Bathsheba Yarhi Milo or Elisabeth of Troy

Madonna, sigh

Live to Tell

No to American Boy

I feel sorry about Kanye, they didn't have good friends, the guy spiralled, away from Jay Z, Obama shouldn't have shunned him as a this or that

He's a talented musician, who has a lot of soul, which shines through, and he has probably gotten hurt

And turned████

No for Bowling for Soup

Dunno what the ████ the Phil Collins song is, Against All Odds

Nightshift is about Lasantha, how he would have made my biggest ally, really, he would have been favorably reporting about me
