Song: Self Control. Song sung by: Laura Branigan (July 3, 1957 -- August 26, 2004) Song Written by: Giancarlo Bigazzi, Steve Piccolo and Raffaele Riefoli. Album: Self Control, April 1984. Song Record Label: Atlantic. Niceties by: www.youtube.com Synopsis! "Self Control" is the name of an international hit song recorded in 1984 by Laura Branigan, also known for the hit "Gloria", as well as the album on which it appears. The song was originally recorded and sung that same year with the same English lyrics by Italian singer Raf, who wrote the song (with the help of Giancarlo Bigazzi and Steve Piccolo). In 2006, both Danish dance group Infernal and Spanish singer Soraya Arnelas released a cover of the song. This song was used as a track from fictional radio station, Flash FM, on video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This song enjoyed success in both the UK and the US, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the UK Singles Chart. The song narrates the singer's slip into the world of nightlife, the allure of which has her "livin' only for the night" and deeming herself to "live among the creatures of the night". Rather than actually invoking control over herself, the singer repeatedly declares to a phantom protagonist that that "you take my self, you take my self control". The song was written by Raffaele Riefoli. .....Lyrics..... On the night Is my world City lights Painted girls In the day Nothing matters It's the night Time that flatters In the night No control <b>...</b>

THE LONG WAIT IS OVER! The so-called "Holy Grail" of Ninoy Aquino videos is finally online and can now be seen EXCLUSIVELY here on NINOY AQUINO TV! On February 15, 1981, less than a year after he went on a furlough to seek medical treatment in the United States, Ninoy Aquino has been invited to a freedom rally symposium by the Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) before a capacity crowd of Filipino and American guests at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles, California; where he spoke with enthusiasm and humor about his life and struggle under the martial law dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, his pompous and ambitious wife Imelda...and much more! The presentation you are about to see has been made possible through the efforts extended by our dear friend, MARVIN MATIAS, whose invaluable contribution has paved the way in making this priceless piece of history available to millions of our countrymen. May this video serve as an instrument in remembering NINOY AQUINO; a great man of principle and courage who died for the cause of freedom, and at the same time, rekindle our collective minds of what we can do if we choose to be a hero for our country. Your participation will be forever appreciated by your friends here on Ninoy Aquino TV (NATv). Thank you very much! Pardon the video and audio quality! The material is quite old!

Players had to pick either the Bills, Rams, Buccaneers, or Lions and return a punt on All-Madden Difficulty. The winner will receive a $50 dollar gift card at GameStop. Check out this episode to see the results. Our next challenge also revolves around Madden NFL 11. We asked you to go to Madden Moments and pick Vince-Sanity! In this moment, players have 2:52 in the fourth quarter to lead the Titans down the field and defeat the Texans. But it's not that easy. We want you to complete this by only running the ball with Vince Young. No throws, no field goals, just Vince Young running down for a touchdown. The fastest time wins this challenge. The deadline for submission is this Sunday August 29th, at Midnight Pacific Time. This week's challenge is a fun one. In honor of the WWE Summer Slam Event we attended, we figured we would do our first wrestling challenge. Using WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, we want you to create the funniest, most insane, or sickest finishing move imaginable. Bonus points go out to you for funny finisher names. So get creative and we will have the results in two weeks. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Follow <b>...</b>
