Go ahead, make my day
The movie Sudden Impact became popular in Kenya in the early 1990s . Kenyan kids pronounced ' make my day ' as `` Makmende '' probably due to influence of the local dialects . Over time , Makmende came to be used by children to refer to those who behaved in a conceited manner . In 2010 , Makmende was turned into an Internet sensation all over Kenya 's Internet community when Just a Band created a superhero character in the music video of their song `` Ha He . '' The song Action by Finnish band LOVEX features the line in their song lyrics .
Hip hop
In late 1979 , Debbie Harry of Blondie took Nile Rodgers of Chic to such an event , as the main backing track used was the break from Chic 's `` Good Times '' .

Nike and Nelly agreed on a one - year deal in 2003 to release a limited - edition sneaker called the `` Air Derrty '' , which was a retro remake of Charles Barkley 's signature sneaker . Nelly later signed a shoe deal with Reebok . Nelly has done ads for Got Milk and the Ford Motor Company .

Time magazine named `` Rehab '' the Best Song of 2007 . Writer Josh Tyrangiel praised Winehouse for her confidence , saying , `` What she is mouthy , funny , sultry , and quite possibly crazy '' and `` It 's impossible not to be seduced by her originality . Combine it with production by Mark Ronson that references four decades worth of soul music without once ripping it off , and you 've got the best song of 2007 . '' The album 's second single and lead single in the US , `` You Know I 'm No Good , '' was released in January 2007 with a remix featuring rap vocals by Ghostface Killah . It ultimately reached number 18 on the UK singles chart . The title track , `` Back to Black , '' was released in the UK in April 2007 and peaked at number 25 , but was more successful across mainland Europe . `` Tears Dry on Their Own , '' `` Love Is a Losing Game '' were also released as singles , but failed to achieve the same level of success .
Diamonds (Rihanna song)
In a positive review of the song , Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave it four out of five stars and praised Rihanna 's direction towards a `` softer and more prolific edge '' . Brittany Lewis of GlobalGrind called `` Diamonds '' a catchy song and felt that it had the potential to be another hit for Rihanna . Glenn Gamboa of Newsday said that , although it does not sound like an emphatic hit , the lyrical content of the song depicts a `` personal shift '' for Rihanna . According to James Montgomery of MTV News , `` Diamonds '' is more positive than previous singles such as `` We Found Love '' and `` Where Have You Been '' , despite its moderate tempo . Lindsey DiMattina of Hollywood.com said that Rihanna 's singing is stronger than ever . Contactmusic 's reviewer described it as a `` laid - back track '' , and suggested that the lyrical content is related to her former boyfriend Chris Brown . In a track - by - track review of Unapologetic , Andrew Hampp of Billboard found the song inspiring and commented that it `` finds Rihanna doing one of her throatiest , most impassioned vocals to date '' . Andy Kellman of Allmusic cited the song as one of the highlights on Unapologetic , and gave it three and a half stars .

Music historians Schinder and Schwartz wrote of the transformation in popular music styles that took place between the 1950s and the 1960s . They said that the Beatles ' influence can not be overstated : having `` revolutionised the sound , style , and attitude of popular music and opened rock and roll 's doors to a tidal wave of British rock acts '' , the group then `` spent the rest of the 1960s expanding rock 's stylistic frontiers '' . Liam Gallagher and his group Oasis were among the many who acknowledged the band 's influence ; he identified Lennon as a hero . In 1999 , he named his first child Lennon Gallagher in tribute . On National Poetry Day in 1999 , the BBC conducted a poll to identify the UK 's favourite song lyric and announced `` Imagine '' as the winner . Universal
American popular music
By the end of the 1990s and into the early 2000s pop music consisted mostly of a combination of pop - hip hop and R&B - tinged pop , including a number of boy bands . Notable female singers also cemented their status in American and worldwide popular music , such as Beyoncé ( with her solo career and as lead singer of Destiny 's Child ) , Britney Spears , Christina Aguilera , Katy Perry , Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift . Also notable was the influence of hip - hop producers on popular music in the mid-late 2000s , who made the sounds first heard on Usher 's Confessions and Nelly Furtado 's Loose imitated throughout popular radio with artists Madonna , Akon and Lady Gaga . In the late 2000s into the early 2010s , pop music began to move towards being heavily influenced by the European electronic dance music scene , taking root in the college crowd through producers like David Guetta , Calvin Harris , Swedish House Mafia and Skrillex .
John Lennon
Lennon co-wrote `` Fame '' , David Bowie 's first US number one , and provided guitar and backing vocals for the January 1975 recording . The same month , Elton John topped the charts with his cover of `` Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds '' , featuring Lennon on guitar and back - up vocals ( Lennon is credited on the single under the moniker of `` Dr. Winston O'Boogie '' ) . He and Ono were reunited shortly afterwards . Lennon released Rock ' n ' Roll ( 1975 ) , an album of cover songs , in February . `` Stand by Me '' , taken from the album and a US and UK hit , became his last single for five years . He made what would be his final stage appearance in the ATV special A Salute to Lew Grade , recorded on 18 April and televised in June . Playing acoustic guitar and backed by an eight - piece band , Lennon performed two songs from Rock ' n ' Roll ( `` Stand by Me '' , which was not broadcast , and `` Slippin ' and Slidin ' '' ) followed by `` Imagine '' . The band , known as Etc. , wore masks behind their heads , a dig by Lennon who thought Grade was two - faced . 1975
Aerosmith
The band took a brief break before recording their follow - up to Pump in 1992 . Despite significant shifts in mainstream music at the beginning of the 1990s , 1993 's Get a Grip was just as successful commercially , becoming their first album to debut at number 1 and racking up sales of 7 million copies in a two - and - a-half - year timespan . The first singles were the hard rocking `` Livin ' on the Edge '' and `` Eat the Rich '' . Though many critics were unimpressed by the focus on the subsequent interchangeable power - ballads in promoting the album , all three ( `` Cryin ' '' , `` Crazy '' and `` Amazing '' ) proved to be huge successes on radio and MTV . The music videos featured then up - and - coming actress Alicia Silverstone ; her provocative performances earned her the title of `` the Aerosmith chick '' for the first half of the decade . Steven Tyler 's daughter Liv Tyler was also featured in the `` Crazy '' video . Get a Grip would go on to sell more than 7 million copies in the U.S. alone , and over 20 million copies worldwide . The band won two Grammy Awards for songs from this album in the category of Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal : for `` Livin ' on the Edge '' in 1994 and `` Crazy '' in 1995 .

Nick Murray of Rolling Stone was positive , giving the song a rating of 4 out of 5 stars , praising `` some George Kranz scatting and a Nile Rodgers guitar riff . '' He also wrote that Mars , Ronson and The Hooligans `` channel the days when brags were n't humble and disco was n't retro . '' Brennan Carley of Spin noted that `` Mars sounds a bit like Nelly on the track , sing - rapping his way through goofy lyrics ( '' Got Chucks on / With Saint Laurent / Gotta kiss myself / So pretty `` ) '' , while comparing the bass line to something `` taken straight from Prince 's playbook . '' He added that `` It 's a definite step towards more classic funk for Ronson , who has a history of dabbling in heavy horn sections and walking guitar solos . '' He finished by saying `` Mars ' voice keeps things light and bubbly though , making ' Uptown Funk ' the kind of song you 'll be unable to escape on the radio in a matter of days . '' Lucas Villa of AXS called Ronson `` eternally cool '' and added that the producer 's `` latest foray into ' Funk ' is definitely his freakiest , freshest and most fun release yet . ''
Both Sides, Now
I was reading Saul Bellow 's Henderson the Rain King on a plane and early in the book Henderson the Rain King is also up in a plane . He 's on his way to Africa and he looks down and sees these clouds . I put down the book , looked out the window and saw clouds too , and I immediately started writing the song . I had no idea that the song would become as popular as it did .
