Pow! may refer to:
Pow! is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt featuring trombonist Benny Green recorded in 1965 and released on the Prestige label in 1967.
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Altoist Sonny Stitt and trombonist Benny Green make for a potent team on this spirited quintet set... the two distinctive horns (along with pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Roy Brooks) have little difficulty essaying these bop pieces, blues and ballads, and their personable styles match well together".

Pow! (Chinese: 四十一炮; pinyin: sìshíyī pào) is a 2003 novel by the Chinese author and Nobel laureate Mo Yan. The novel's protagonist is Luo Xiaotong, a village boy with a passion for story-telling. It is set in a temple, where Luo recounts the story of his life to an old monk. He describes the difficult circumstances of his childhood in the "Slaughterhouse Village," a fictional town in which the population is obsessed with the consumption of meat and where corruption is rife.
The novel has been interpreted as an allegorical commentary on the state of contemporary Chinese society, though Mo himself maintains that he is merely a storyteller, uninterested in ideology.
Oh wo wo wo woo
oh no no no noo
To your friends your lying
To your rech your lying
On the phone your lying
Do yourself your lying
How you fail I'm trying
To believe were vibing
Why do we keep hiding
Baby we can fight it
Can we publicize it (can we) put it on the radio
(Oh can we) Baby let's just try it
Make ourself official (official)
The worst they can say is
You and i dont really go
But the more they see us
It's as if they watched a show
We fuss, we fight, we fall we rise we act like were in love
In front of everybody
We fuss, we fight, we fall we rise we act like were in love
In front of everybody
[Chorus:]
This love is ridiculous (ridiculous)
It's conspicuous (so comspicuous) it is making us public
This love is ridiculous it's revealing us
And it's taking us public
This love is ridiculous (ridiculous)
It's conspicuous (so cospicuous) it is making us (and it's making us) public
This love is ridiculous it's so dangerous and it's taking us public
To myself I'm lying
Every night I'm crying
I'm even denying
That I'm slowly dying
In these lights I'm shining
Off stage i aint smiling
People start to see there's something
I'm denying
Can we publicize it (can we)
put it on the radio (on the radio)
Baby let's just try it (lets just try it baby oh)
Make our self official
The worst they can say is
You and i dont really go (That we dont go that we dont that we dont that we dont no)
But the more they see us it is more of the show
[Chorus: x2]
This love is ridiculous (we fight)
It's conspicuous (we fight) it is making us public (and you know it is)
This love is ridiculous it's revealing us
And it's taking us public
It's conspicuous (Public)
This love is ridiculous (and its making us so public)
This love is ridiculous (when we fight when we argue)
It's conspicuous it is making us public
This love is ridiculous it's so dangerous and it's taking us public
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala [x2]
[Chorus]
This love is ridiculous
It's conspicuous it is making us public
This love is ridiculous it's revealing us
And it's taking us public
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaa
Conspicuous (Public)
This love is ridiculous it so dangerous and it's taking us public
