"Song 2" is a song by English rock band Blur, the second track from their 1997 eponymous fifth studio album. The hook features Damon Albarn yelling "woo-hoo!" as the distorted bass comes in. Released in April 1997, "Song 2" appropriately reached number two in the UK Singles Chart, number four on the Australian ARIA Charts, and number six on US Billboard Alternative Songs (previously called Billboard Modern Rock Tracks).
At the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, "Song 2" was nominated for Best Group Video, and Best Alternative Video. At the 1998 Brit Awards the song was nominated for Best British Single, and Best British Video. In December 1998, BBC Radio 1 listeners voted "Song 2" the 15th Best Track Ever. In October 2011, NME placed it No. 79 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".
Blur intended "Song 2" to be a satire of grunge. The song was nonetheless their biggest hit in the United States. The song has often featured in popular culture, and first appeared in the hit video game FIFA: Road to World Cup 98.
Tauheed Epps (born September 12, 1977), better known by his stage name 2 Chainz (formerly Tity Boi), is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia. He initially gained recognition for being one-half of the Southern hip hop duo Playaz Circle, alongside his longtime friend and fellow rapper, Earl "Dolla Boy" Conyers.

Story, to mixed reviews.

Kanye Omari West (/ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American recording artist, record producer, fashion designer and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the record label GOOD Music and creative content company DONDA. West is one of the most acclaimed musicians of the 21st century. He has attracted both praise and criticism for his work and his controversial, outspoken public persona.
Raised in Chicago, West first became known as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing hit singles for musical artists such as Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, before pursing a solo career as a rapper. In 2004, he released his debut album The College Dropout, to widespread commercial and critical success, and founded record label and management company GOOD Music. He went on to explore a variety of different musical styles on subsequent albums that included the baroque-inspired Late Registration (2005), the electronic-tinged Graduation (2007), and the starkly polarizing 808s & Heartbreak (2008). In 2010, he released his critically acclaimed fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He collaborated with Jay-Z on Watch the Throne (2011), and released his sixth album, Yeezus, to further critical praise in 2013. Following a series of recording delays and work on non-musical projects, West's seventh album, The Life of Pablo, was released in 2016.
Vigila il vigile di buon mattino
Dinna la porta, suona il postino
L'orsetto Meo ancora sbadiglia
Con tutta calma lui se la piglia
Scende per strada che gran fracasso
Di chi è la colpa di questo sconquasso?
Due capre e un gatto giu' a litigare
Tutti si affaciano per curiosare
Che stivaletti in questa vetrina
Mi faccia il pieno di gatto benzina
Wrum wrum, qui romba un motociclista
E Meo lo guarda davanti al fiorista
Dal cartellone sorride un micio
Baffolustro è il suo dentifricio
Al bar l'aqua orsetta frizza il palato
Uf meno male che il tram è arrivato
L'abito a bolle mi farà bella?
Ah, meno male, la fontanella!
A mezzogiorno, molto affamato
Il nostro orsetto fa spesa al mercato
Al tiro a segno si vince una pera
Voglio un gelato
Che gusto? Groviera!
Con i suoi fiori in bella mostra il nostro orsetto non sale in giostra
Via via dal traffico è quasi sera
Qui si stà bene piu' che alla fiera
Oh che sorpresa Meo è con noi: eccomi nonni, fiori per voi!
