Kežmarok (German: Kesmark/Käsmark, Hungarian: Késmárk, Polish: Kieżmark, Latin: Kesmarkium) is a town in the Spiš region of eastern Slovakia (population 17,000), on the Poprad River.
Settlement at Kežmarok dates back to the Upper Stone Age. In the 13th century the region contained a community of Saxons, a Slovak fishing village, a Hungarian border post and a Carpathian German settlement. Its Latin name was first mentioned in 1251 as Villa (Saxonum apud Ecclesiam) Sancte Elisabeth. In 1269 Kežmarok received its town charter. It also had the right to organize a cheese market (hence the German name Kesmark ("Käsemarkt" - "cheese market"). In 1433 the town was severely damaged by a Hussite raid. After 1440, the count of Spiš had a seat in Kežmarok. In the 15th century (and then once more in 1655), Kežmarok became a free royal town.
The town was a stronghold of the noble Thököly family. The Hungarian magnate and warrior Imre Thököly was born in the town in 1657. He died in exile in Turkey in 1705 but in the 20th century his body was returned to Kežmarok and he is buried in a noble mausoleum in the town's Lutheran church.
I can spend the whole day listening to the radio
Any radio station playing Rock n' Roll
I don't care whether it's acid, hard or punk
Gimme Rock
When it comes to Rock I never get enough
Make it higher, louder turn the volume up
The only kind of music that I want to hear
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock
Let that fire burn in my soul!
I can see why all the girls go wild and crazy
Why does everybody think they're just plain lazy?
Turn their tears to laughter watch them as they smile
Gimme Rock
I can tune the world out wearing' my headphones
Just as long as I have Rock I'm never alone
Play it from the top again, please don't let it stop
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock, rock-a-tri-ki-bak
Gimme Rock
Let that fire burn in my soul!
Just by turning' the dial
I know every band in style
Love songs are fine for some
But for me Rock will always be #1!
I can spend the whole day listening to the radio
Any radio station playing Rock n' Roll
I don't care whether it's acid, hard or punk
