The Balkans (often referred to as the Balkan Peninsula, although the two are not coterminous; Albanian: Gadishulli Ballkanik and Siujdhesa e Ballkanit; Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian: Balkansko poluostrvo and Balkanski poluotok; Bulgarian and Macedonian: Балкански полуостров, transliterated: Balkanski poluostrov; Greek: Βαλκανική χερσόνησος, transliterated: Valkaniki chersonisos; Italian: Penisola balcanica; Romanian: Peninsula Balcanică; Slovene: Balkanski polotok; Turkish: Balkan Yarımadası) is a geopolitical and cultural region of southeastern Europe.
The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria and Serbia, while the name "Balkan" in Turkish means "a chain of wooded mountains", for which there is one of the theories for the name's origin. The region was established in Antiquity when the peninsula became widely accepted with the Thracian name "Peninsula of Haemus"(the name for the region until the Late Middle Ages), which name also derives from the Balkan Mountains, with the name "Haemus Mountains" in the period. The Balkans are highly mountainous; Mount Musala (2,925 metres (9,596 ft)) in the Rila mountain in Bulgaria is the highest. Many linguistic families meet in the region, including the Slavic, Romance, Hellenic, Albanian, and Turkic language families, while the main religions are Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life
yeah
'cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said: You gotta get up
You gotta get off
you gotta get down
girl.
You know
you drive me crazy
baby
You've got me turning to another man.
Called you on the phone
no one's home -
Baby
why'd you leave me all alone?
And if it wasn't for the music I don't know what I do.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life from a broken heart.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life with a song.
You know I hopped into my car - didn't get very far
I know.
Before I had you on my mind - why be so unkind?
You've got your women all around
all around this town.
But I was trapped in love with you and I didn't know what to do
But then I turned on the radio
found out all I need to know.
- Check it out. -
Last night a D.T. saved my life
. . .
Last night a D.J. saved my life
. . .
listen up to your local D.J. - you better hear what he's got to sa
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
'cause I can do
On the double. And
you don't let it
Trouble your brain
'cause away goes trouble
Down the drain. Said
Away goes trouble down
The drain. - Well
