Kanye Omari West ( /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American musician, film director and fashion designer. West first rose to fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, where he eventually achieved recognition for his work on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint, as well as hit singles for musical artists including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His style of production originally used pitched-up vocal samples from soul songs incorporated with his own drums and instruments. However, subsequent productions saw him broadening his musical palette and expressing influences encompassing '70s R&B, baroque pop, trip hop, arena rock, folk, alternative, electronica, synthpop, and classical music.
West released his debut album The College Dropout in 2004, his second album Late Registration in 2005, his third album Graduation in 2007, his fourth album 808s & Heartbreak in 2008, and his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010. West released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne with Jay-Z in 2011, which is the duo's first collaborative album. His five solo albums, all of which have gone platinum, have received numerous awards and critical acclaim. As of 2012, West has won a total of eighteen Grammy Awards, making him one of the most awarded artists of all-time. All albums have been very commercially successful, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy becoming his fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the U.S. upon release. West has had 5 songs exceed 3 million in digital sales as of July 2011, with "Gold Digger" selling 3,086,000, "Stronger" selling 4,402,000, "Heartless" selling 3,742,000, "E.T." selling over 4,000,000 and "Love Lockdown" selling over 3,000,000 placing him third in overall digital sales of the past decade. He has sold over 30 million digital songs in the United States making him one of the best-selling digital artists of all-time.
Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American singer, actor, and businessman. He achieved early fame when he appeared as a contestant on Star Search, and went on to star in the Disney Channel television series The New Mickey Mouse Club, where he met future bandmate JC Chasez. Timberlake became famous in the late 1990s as the lead singer and youngest member of the boy band 'N Sync, whose launch was financed by Lou Pearlman.
In 2002, he released his debut solo album, Justified, which sold more than seven million copies worldwide. The album was a commercial success, spawning the hits "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body". Timberlake continued his success with his second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and produced the US number-one hit singles "SexyBack", "My Love", and "What Goes Around... Comes Around".
Timberlake has won six Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards. His first two albums made him one of the most commercially successful singers in the world, each selling in excess of 7 million copies. He also has an acting career, having starred in films such as The Social Network, Bad Teacher and Friends with Benefits. His other ventures include record label Tennman Records, fashion label William Rast, and the restaurants Destino and Southern Hospitality.

Morticia Addams: And after that, I think it's high time that Wednesday and I had that special mother-daughter talk.::Gomez Addams: Ah! On where to bury the bodies.::Morticia Addams: No, silly, we had that talk a year ago. I mean the talk about how to be a woman and what it means to have those special urges.
Plot
Gomez and Morticia are horrified to discover that Grandpa and Grandma Addams have a rare disease that is slowly turning them "normal". The only chance they have of curing them is to organise a family reunion, hoping that someone knows a home remedy. Unfortunately, due to a printing error, the family arrives at the reunion of an ordinary family named Adams (with one D). While Gomez and Morticia, oblivious to the mistake, search for a cure amongst a family divided by the wish to inherit; Pugsley and Wednesday are busy making new friends...explode; Uncle Fester and Thing search for a vicious Chihuahua that lives on human hair; and Lurch falls in love. Meanwhile, a couple going to the reunion are given the wrong address and end up at the Addams mansion where Granny and Cousin Itt are staying. No-one's life will ever be the same...

Plot
On any day of the week, you could expect a newborn baby to be nurtured and loved by his older sister. Except, of course, if it's Wednesday. Pubert is the latest addition to the Addams family and, to prevent sibling rivalry escalating to fratricide, Wednesday and Pugsley are shipped off to summer camp and a nanny is hired. Debby Jellinsky is great with wrinkling baldies, which makes her the perfect nanny for Pubert and the unlikely wife of Uncle Fester. The question is..."Is she grave-digging or gold-digging?"

The Family Just Got A Little Stranger.
Creepier. Kookier. Spookier. Ookier.
Debbie Jellinsky: [meeting Gomez] Isn't he a lady killer!::Gomez: Acquitted.
Gary: [to the Campers] Lifesaving! Now I know we're all top-notch, little swimmers, but now we get to show our stuff and earn those certificates! Hey, how about our first little pair of lifesaving buddies? Amanda, Wednesday?::Amanda: Is that your bathing suit?::Wednesday: Is that your overbite?::Gary: Now, one of you will be the drowning victim and the other one gets to be our lifesaver.::Amanda: I'll be the victim!::Wednesday: All your life.
Morticia: [to Debbie] You have enslaved him. You have placed Fester under some strange sexual spell. I respect that. But please, may we see him?
Wednesday: I don't want to be in the pageant.::Gary: Don't you want to help me realize my vision?::Wednesday: Your work is puerile and under-dramatized. You lack any sense of structure, character and the Aristotelian unities.::Gary: Young lady, I am getting just a tad tired of your attitude problem.
Wednesday: I'm not perky.::Amanda: That's for damn sure.
Debbie Jellinsky: These Addams men, where do you find them?::Morticia: It has to be damp.
Wednesday: We don't hug.::Becky: Oh, they're just shy.::Pugsley: We're not shy.::Wednesday: We're contagious.
Amanda: Hi, I'm Amanda Buckman. Why are you dressed like that?::Wednesday: Like what?::Amanda: Like you're going to a funeral. Why are you dressed like somebody died?::Wednesday: Wait.
[about Pubert]::Gomez: He has my father's eyes.::Morticia: Gomez, take those out of his mouth.
Gomez: Children, why do you hate the baby?::Pugsley: We don't hate him. We just wanna play with him.::Wednesday: Especially his head.
Plot
The Addams step out of Charles Addams' cartoons. They live with all of the trappings of the macabre (including a detached hand for a servant) and are quite wealthy. Added to this mix is a crooked accountant and his loan shark and a plot to slip in the shark's son into the family as their long lost Uncle Fester. Can the false Fester find his way into the vault before he is discovered?

It's not the same old Thing.
Weird is relative.
Creepy. Kooky. Spooky. Ooky.
Gomez: We danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled, we danced the Mamushka at Waterloo. We danced the Mamushka for Jack the Ripper, and now, Fester Addams, this Mamushka is for you.
[Wednesday is hooking up an electric chair]::Wednesday: Pugsley, sit in the chair.::Pugsley: Why?::Wednesday: So we can play a game.::Pugsley: What game?::Wednesday: [strapping him in] It's called, "Is There a God?"
[about to bury two people]::Pugsley: Are they dead?::Wednesday: Does it matter?
Girl Scout: Is this made from real lemons?::Wednesday: Yes.::Girl Scout: I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives. Are you sure they're real lemons?::Pugsley: Yes.::Girl Scout: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?::Wednesday: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?
Gomez: [as they search for Wednesday] Fan out. Pugsley, head for the dung heap. Mama and Morticia, the shallow graves. I'll take the abyss. Lurch, check out the bottomless pit. Fester?::Uncle Fester: [from a window] Up here!::Gomez: [shouting up to him] Fester, you take the ravine, and the unmarked, abandoned well!::Uncle Fester: Somebody should stay behind in case she comes back.::Gomez: Good man. Good thinking!::Grandmama: Then who'll take the swamp?::Gomez: [Thing taps Gomez's shoe] That's the spirit, Thing. Lend a hand. Let's go!
Gomez: [playing with his trains and furiously contemplating things] "How do you take it off"? That's absurd! That finger trap was a party favor at his tenth birthday!
Gomez: He wore that finger trap for two years. Mother had to teach him to eat with his feet. And the combination, and the password, and my cigar, and he slept so well!
Gomez: [he has thrown a sword and pierced the wall not but two inches from Tully's head] Ah, missed!
Gomez: Think of it, Thing. For twenty-five years we've attempted to contact Fester in the great beyond, and for twenty-five years, nothing. I'm beginning to think my brother truly is lost.
Gomez: [about Morticia] I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss.

Transcribers' Note: the "! ! !" represents the sound of three drum beats in rapid
succession-like "boom- ba-boom"
While I was walkin' down the beach one bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin' in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise
Oh, I discovered a ! ! !, right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a ! ! !, right before my eyes
I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew who'd buy most anything
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop
"Oh, get out of here with that ! ! !, before I call a cop"
Oh, get out of here with that ! ! !, before I call a cop
I turned around and got right out, a-runnin' for my life
And then I took it home with me to give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door
"Oh, get out of here with that ! ! !, and don't come back no more"
Oh get out of here with that ! ! !, and don't come back no more
The way the two of you were standing outside the door
I knew it was the end of your dream
And when you walked into the room without your girl
You didn't have to say a word to me
In the long lonesome summer many things will change
A lot of part time friends will move along
When good times have you smiling I know you're in there dying
Because it's just another good time gone
One of the times we got to work a little late
For drinking on a night too hot to sleep
You said you didn't mind going on this way
As long as it was good enough for me
They say the weather's changing, seasons are rearranging
Summer's never been this long before
Sometimes it makes me spin how things were so different then
Last night before my pillow gave way to my head, it
said,
"Drink my wine, smoke my cigarettes and talk to the
dead."
It said, "The window's wide open get up, I'll make your
eyes red.
The matchmakers making a match,
To burn down your bed."
Silhouettes are the things I know,
And the things not known yet, not yet.
In time you'll see what's not known,
No not to me yet.
It said, "The window's wide open get up, I'll make your
eyes red.
The matchmakers making a match,
To burn down your bed."
All this time it's been killing me,
If I walk thru that door I'll never return.
Cuz you speak and your words are like fire;
Your eyes are still filled with admiration that was
once shown to me,
Freely but now stripped away.
And I'm pale as a ghost,
And I'm whiter than snow,
Cuz inside I'm so hollow, hollow.
Don't bring back all those things,
All those memories those ways,
Its okay.
I'll forget, I'll live on day by day.
It was a waste,
All those tears that fell far from my face, my face.
I wanna be free, from my thoughts,
And free from this place, this place.
The windows wide open I'll walk away,
It's a disgrace,
But you're content with your actions and this lie,
So why do I try?
All this time it's been killing me,
If I walk thru that door I'll never return.
Cuz you speak and your words are like fire,
Your eyes are still filled with admiration that was
once shown to me,
Freely but now stripped away.
And I'm pale as a ghost,
And I'm whiter than snow,
Cuz inside I'm so hollow, hollow.
Don't bring back all those things,
All those memories those ways,
Its okay.
I'll forget, I'll live on day by day

(But first the notion that man has a body
distinct from his soul is to be expunged;
this I shall do by printing in the infernal
method, by corrosives, which in Hell are
salutary and medicinal, melting apparent
surfaces away, and displaying infinite which
was hid. Messiah or Satan or Tempter was
formerly thought to be one of the Antediluvians
who are our Energies.)
Is it true what they say:
"If the sky falls we shall catch the larks?"
As you'll see if the sky falls
We shall catch no pretty larks
If it will have done, my dearest
We shall catch some evil demons
They'll be biting our fingers,
They will have devoured the earth
If you'll have invited them
You shall not be disappointed.
And what have you preferred to toll
Though there is nothing left at all...
Needs must when the devil drives -
There's no need to fear or cry
Night has come and day had gone
Having led chaos to enthrone
Try to save your soul and head.
Meet the omens of THE END!
BUT...
For evermore the first and foremost
SELF COMES FIRST
If you really want to watch all the omens of that end
Don't complain then - try to hold future troubles in your hand
Even if tomorrow's cares shall fit you like a glove
Anyway I wash my hands off -
SELF COMES FIRST -
Goodnight, good luck.
Don't you care about existence:
GOD will take it for HIS own.
Only Devil keeps your body:
GOD will kill it.
Oh!
Don't you pray of this to your GOD? -
Wait for so-called judgement-day.
Don't you care about your body?
Don't you care about its way? -
Only Satan saves its life
Death won't come into your house
Whilst you stay in Satan's town
You won't die -
You'll never die
While you're standing upside-down
If you'd been slave of desire -
You became the Devil's child
Stay alive among the fire -
Self comes first...
Burn, cry...
Goodnight.
OH NO, NOW I HAVE KNOWN -
I AM A THING AND NOTHING MORE.
I HAVE LOST MY KEY
HAVING CLOSED MY DOOR TO MY LORE -
I WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
My body doesn't have a name,
(Nobody does know it anyway)
I do think of chance that I could get:
"Who does need the useless one like that?"
Nobody does know my misery.
They say:"Nobody's interested in my fate!"
How many fools also lost their key yet?
And that's why they'll come here later than I will!
They always come too late -
I have to leave these gates
Unless they'll have returned
I'll waste my hate no more.
I am the THING on the endless shelf of life,
The nameless one among the countless names
I am the THING that does try to survive
Amongst the devil's court -
That's why I belong to him -
I am his THING.
Why do you think you aren't a THING? -
Then you cannot see the wood for the trees...
Do not you understand we are THINGS in a hand?
We can't see a GOD while we're down on our knees...
WELL! - I am just a THING and a THING that's useless
WELL! - I am just a THING in a Devil's hand
WELL! - I am the silent shadow in a Lucifer's looking glass
WELL! - I am just a THING that you won't be able to understand.
No way to mind - that's only reason why I'm silly slave -
I am not a worm, I am a THING in a darkest cave
Ain't no fallen one that does try to save one's creepy-crawly ugly life.
I am the THING that's never going to die!
Why didn't you think us to be a THING?
You know - you could see the wood for the trees
Do not you understand - we are THINGS in a hand -
We can't see a GOD while we're down on our knees
Do not pass by my place
Mistress of the chaos:
Take me down from my shelf,
Try to see,
Try to guess
Which way shall I go,
Which road shall I ride,
Though I will have stayed there
Where I had been before...
You are poor mortal whore!
We shall go side by side
When we're met face by face...
Try to distress me. -
Are you trying to guess?
You are also a THING!
Babylon whore,
Sweet mistress of the chaos,
Didn't you guess
Who I am,
Who you are:
We are one and the same -
We do play hidden game
"FIND THE THING - FIND NO ONE" -
And your quest will be done.
Sweet mistress you'll have gone
I am not a drunken swine
That used to lick up last drop of wine
I won't change the mind of mine -
I'm the THING that's never going to die
If you can't believe in peace
Call your Devil: 666
That is catching sick-sick-sickness
In our cheap existence:
I think having lost the key
The others could not get in
And they'll be staying outside
Until they're going to die.
I have opened secret door:
We are A THING and nothing more
We've been put by... and not arrived,
We do become almighty sacral pride
Of our taker,
Almighty maker,
Our creator,
Our tormentor,
Our offender,
Our defender -
WE ARE A THING.
I don't know, I couldn't feel a thing
Am I losing out, on some important thing?
My hands are tied the party's in full swing
Am I losing out on some important thing
A real important thing
Helter Skelter, Where's your shelter
Helter Skelter, Watch it swelter
Don't go too fast, I heard the chuchbells sing
Am I losing my edge, overlooking things?
My tongue is tied, with a familiar ring
Am I losing out on some important thing
A real important thing
Alcoholic, melancholic
Symbiotic, vitriolic
Try harder, must try harder
Helter Skelter, Where's your shelter
Helter Skelter, Watch it swelter
Alcoholic, Melancholic,
Symbiotic, Melancholic,Vitriolic,
Try harder, must try harder
