r/Music on Reddit: Here are lyrics to my favourite song, CopaCabana by Barry Manilow
December 29, 2021 -

[Verse 1]

Her name was Lola She was a showgirl, with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there She would merengue, and do the cha cha, and while she tried to be a star, Tony always Tended bar, across the Crowded floor, They worked from 8 til 4 They were young and they had eachother, who could Ask For More

[Chorus]

At the Copa, Copa Cabana, The Hottest spot north of Havana, At the Copa, Copa Cabana, Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copaaaaaa,.. They Fell in Love

[Verse 2]

His Name was Rico, He wore a Diamond, He was escorted to his Chair, He saw Lola Dancing there, And when She Finished, He called Her over, But Rico Went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar, And then the Punches flew, And chairs were Smashed in Two, There was Blood and a single gun Shot but Just who Shot Who

[Chorus]

At the Copa, Copa Cabana, The Hottest spot north of Havana, At the Copa, Copa Cabana, Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copaaaaaa,.. She Lost her Love

[Verse 3]

Her Name is Lola, She was a Showgirl, But that was 30 Years ago, When they used to have a show, Now it’s a Disco but not For Lola, Still in the Dress she used to wear, Faded feathers in her hair, She sits there so Refined, and drinks herself Half-Blind, She lost her Youth and she lost her Tony, now she’s lost her mind

[Chorus]

At the Copa, Copa Cabana, The Hottest spot north of Havana, At the Copa, Copa Cabana, Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copaaaaaa,.. Don’t Fall in Love,. Don’t Fall in Love

What song has horrific lyrics, but a happy beat, or vise-versa?
“Copacabana (At the Copa)” by Barry Manilow. By the end of the song, Lola is an alcoholic who’s gone insane. She sits in the bar wearing her dancing-girl costume from thirty years ago reflecting on the murder of her one true love. And then that uptempo chorus kicks in… More on reddit.com

why is copacabana(at the copa) (by Barry Manilow ) so sad but no one notices
Who says nobody notices? There are a bunch of articles online and other Reddit posts pointing out the same thing. It's one of my karaoke go-to's and it's pretty obvious if you pay attention to the lyrics. I think a lot of people enjoy and are used to sadness in pop music. There are a lot of pop songs with sad or disturbing lyrics. True crime podcasts are immensely popular. Many normal people are fascinated by the lurid, violent, or criminal. More on reddit.com

What's the joke about the song "I Write the Songs that Make the Whole World Sing"?
The joke is that Beach Boy Bruce Johnston wrote the song and multiple artists recorded and released it within a short span of time. The song came out in 1975, but was released by Captain and Tennille. A few months later, David Cassidy released this song. And a few months after that, Barry Manilow released the song at the end of the year. So 3 versions of the same song were released within one year. In 1977, original writer, Bruce Johnston, released his version of the song. The only version to become a huge hit was Manilow's. By the late 80s, when this eppy of Full House was recorded, everyone was sick of this song- yet no one would let it die. It was a joke for the parents watching who lived through this era.
