1.The Barden Bellas Finals

They used classic famous songs like Jessie J's No.1 golden melody in 2011"Price Tag"、Scotland's band "Simple Minds" masterpiece "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and so on as a suite.


the song price tag is told about that everyone in the world seems to be snobbish, 

they count everything by money, and each person, each thing has its price tag.


but today, we should just forget all about the price tag, forget about money.

just enjoy everyday, every second, and enjoy dance tonight!


 

2.Bellas-Just The Way You Are

we've already introduced about the song from Bruno Mars. 

while this version is totally different from the version of Bruno Mars.

Actually, i didn't pay attention to the song until i saw the movie, 

and i had fallen in love ithe the a cappella version, i gradually loved the song!

A cappella really has a magic power to catch people's ears lol.


 

3.Party in The USA

the song is really cute! it has a interesting story that:

a country girl came to the big city with her dream;however, she didn't know whether she would sucess,

and whether she could fit in.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar song that sooth her nervous, so she dance happily and thought that she could do it!


the lyric is so vivid that i could imagine the scene, and the melody will make me feel calm and delight.


 


Special Uses and Words:

1.got your shades on your eyes: wearing the sunglasses to hide.

2.pay... with : 以...當酬勞 EX: pay them with love tonight 

3.Ka-Ching: sound words-- the cash register's sound

4.low blows and video Hoes---i cannot understand the uses

5.cardigan: the sheep wool sweater
