Ane Brun 'Big in Japan' guitar chords & lyrics

I have to admit, I hadn't heard of Ane Brun, who hails from Norway, until I tried to find out who sang the song on the Sky HD TV ad, and found it was her.

Not sure if "Big in Japan" has been released in Ireland/UK ( or even the US? ) but it's getting a load of airplay here in Ireland at the moment. I knew the song sounded familiar when I first heard it, but only when the chorus kicked in did I recognize it as another Cyndi Lauper song ( also covered by Alphaville ).

It's an amazing version of the song, if you can imagine Norah Jones singing with a Jeff Buckley guitar backing, you get the idea.

It's a lovely, soulful version of what was a pretty raucous pop song, as I recall it. I've worked out the chords and lyrics for the song, which you can find below. Just guessing, but I would imagine you just speed it up if you want to play the Cyndi Lauper / Alphaville version. Check it out at this link:

Bell X1 'The Great Defector' guitar chords & lyrics

Bell X1 ( pronounced 'bell-ex-one' ) are a hugely up-and-coming rock band from Kildare in Ireland, who are beginning to hit it big in the US ( some of their songs have featured on US TV shows like The O.C. and Grey's Anatomy )

I have already featured two of their songs on my 'Rock Songs' page: 'Flame' and 'Rocky Takes a Lover', and have now worked out the chords and lyrics for their latest single 'The Great Defector', from their soon-to-be-released 2009 album "Blue Lights on the Runway". If you haven't heard Bell X1 yet, you're really missing out - great rollicking songs with anthemic choruses and lyrics which always raise a smile. Chords & Lyrics to "The Great Defector" are at the link below:

All American Rejects - Gives You Hell chords & lyrics

Hard to believe that it is almost 2 years since the last time I posted chords and lyrics for an All American Rejects song, but it was indeed March 13th 2007 when I posted "Dirty Little Secret" chords to my Rock Guitar Chords page.

The band probably wouldn't make my all time Top 20 list, but they play their own inimitable style of Rock/Pop, and their songs are just fun - to listen to and to play!

The Oklahoma boys released a new album "When the World Comes Down" toward the end of 2008, and I've just finished working out my interpretation of the first ( and still the only ) single from the album "Gives You Hell", which you can find at the link below:
