After five years in the wilderness, Uncle Kracker returned late last year with a monster hit, 'Smile,' from his new album 'Happy Hour' and he's pretty much been grinning ever since. 'Smile' instantly became a huge pop hit, and quickly proved it had crossover power, as well, when it began to catch fire at country radio.

Music Trivia Song This Week
Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover
Paul Simon
Simon told the story of this song: "I woke up one morning in my apartment on Central Park and the opening words just popped into my mind: 'The problem is all inside your head, she said to me...' That was the first thing I thought of. So I just started building on that line. It was the last song I wrote for the album, and I wrote it with a Rhythm Ace, one of those electronic drum machines so maybe that's how it got that sing-song 'make a new plan Stan, don't need to be coy Roy' quality. It's basically a nonsense song."
I'm dancing alot and I'm taking shots I'm feeling fine
I'm kissing all the boys and the girls
Someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind

Kate Perry
California Girls
Lyrics I Kissed A Girl
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
Born on October 25, 1984 in a strict Christian family, Perry was later known for her song "Ur So Gay".Her parents were pastors and there was always gospel music in the family. In an interview Perry said that her mother used to ban her from listening to what they call "secular music" .
Thus, young Perry was apt in gospel music until one day during a slumber party she heard the voice of Freddie Mercury. Inspired by the Queen frontman's style of singing she was metaphorically 'opened' to another possible side of music, although it was not until much later that this side of her will come out as her main music style.
Trivia Song of the Week
K.D.Lang
Hallejulah
Leonard Cohen
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
This song was the debut single for Alexandra Burke, the 2008 winner of the UK X Factor show. Her version broke the record for Europe's fastest selling download and topped the UK chart. Its success prompted renewed interest in Jeff Buckley's rendition and as a consequence his version of Leonard Cohen's spiritual epic reached #2 just behind Alexandra Burke.
It also prompted renewed interest in Leonard Cohen's original version. As a result the Canadian singer-songwriter got a look in on some chart action, gaining his very first UK Top 40 hit at the age of 74.
Something that I wanted too say is how can you even go close to selecting Sheryl Crows version of Tomorrow Never Dies over K.D.Lang for the bond movie they must have rocks in their heads.
Just listen too Crows version of Hallejulah, Lang makes her sound like an amateur. Sorry if it may sound harsh but it's the truth.
