Lyrics:
"IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE"
It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so
It's a jungle out there
Kiuhnm

Dieci e lode!

 Dieci e lode!
Thanks, but that's not mine :-)
I can't hear the 'a' in "It's a jungle out there". I don't think the 
singer pronounces it at all.
Also, I think there isn't any "and" in "Well I do, and it's amazing".
A verse is also missing: "'cos it's jungle out there" (yep, like I said, 
I can't hear the 'a').
I'm being choosy because that's supposed to be the official lyrics, and 
I think it's not perfect.

 why don't you get a satellite tv receveir for free to air emissions? ;)
I have one, or did you not mean me?
(BTW: receiver; transmissions, not emissions).

Quando ascoltavo questa canzone capivo si e no il 40 %, ma è veramente 
carina: è stata fatta a posta per il telefilm vero?

 carina: è stata fatta a posta per il telefilm vero?
Yes!

 Shall you help me, please?
If you pick one or two spots where you didn't understand a sentence
or two, I'll have a quick listen, but I'm not going to sit through
30 minutes of whatever it is they're talking about :-)

Randy Newman, who wrote and performed "It's a Jungle out there" for "Monk",
also wrote and performed the controversial song "Short People".
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here
Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

 the mp3 files, I don't understand clearly what they are saying about.
Your posts are marked "do not archive" so I cannot find them (with 
dejanews), or I'm looking in the wrong thread.
Can you point out (again) the bits with which you are having
difficuly?

WB: At both of these, 'cos as you know I've been lucky to be on the 
staff of [both 2??] so far and I have also been invited to the 3rd 
edition of that. Lots of people were coming to talk to me from time to 
time obviously when there was time, and all of them were saying how 
impressed they were with you as a person.
