Ain’t Got No (I Got Life)


I've found such a positive song. It's absolutly a catching song.
(Apropos catching songs:  You know, there's a German word which really discribes songs which you can't forget, which are always, always, in your mind. Traslated word by word it would be "ear worm". I spoke with my English teacher and she said that there isn't a special word for this in English. And now I've looked it up in several online dictionaries and they gave me "ear worm" as a translation. And now I'm really confused. So, what's right?)

This positive and hope-giving song is called Ain't Got No (I Got Life).
(May be should firstly watch the video. The video itself is already sooo imaginative ... and after klicking "play" you should come back^^.)

Patrice describes all the things he might have not: shoes, pants, a swetter, a name, a bed, a mind, a father, a culture, friends, schoolin, love, ...
But then he says to himself that he has got something: hair, a head, a brain, ears, eyes, a nose, ... And for me, an inveterate optimist, the best thing is:
I got my smile
But something which I really find sadly is something he's singing nearly at the end of the song:
(Down with the optimists! ^^ )
And what have I got?
Why am i alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got?
Nobody can take away?
But at the very end of that song there's his conclusion:
I've got life
I got my freedom
I got life
So the winner are ... the optimists!^^
No, I think the world would be very boring if there were just optimists.

I hope you like it. Well ... we'll see.
