Paula Abdul Dance Like There's No Tomorrow Lyrics

Paula Abdul Dance Like There's No Tomorrow Lyrics

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Today just wasn't my day
Everyone's getting me so fed up
I've gotta find a way
I know what can make me feel better
Stepping out in my best
Looking hotter than ever
Wherever the party is
That's where I'll be in a second

I'm so ready to move my body
Forget about all my problems
When I hear that song
I'ma lose control
Hey, here I go

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

I'm loving the atmosphere
Feels like I'm floating in heaven
The music's all in my ear
Taking over me
My heart's racing
Feeling so Hollywood
How I got everybody staring
[Dance Like There's No Tomorrow lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Their eyes are the cameras
And I'm loving all the attention

Get up, 'bout to move my body
Forget about all my problems
They're playing our song
I'ma lose control
Hey, here I go

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Please DJ
Don't say it's the last one
Cause I know what it means
And I don't want you to play no slow song
I'm still building the nerve to talk to that guy
Just give me another song and make it right

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Paula Abdul says new album expected in summer

Paula Abdul, who has a new song with fellow "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, blames a plane mishap for keeping her out of the musical arena for more than a decade.

"I've been really, really blessed and fortunate and it's really, really poignant for me to come back now," Abdul, who is one of the pre-Super Bowl performers, told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Abdul is featured on the first single off the new album from Jackson, due out next month. The song is titled "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow."

Abdul says an emergency plane landing that caused her injury in 1992 — she calls it a "plane crash" — was a key reason why she abandoned her multiplatinum singing career (she hasn't released a new album since 1995).

"I had four plates and fourteen cervical spinal surgeries," Abdul said while she picked up items Saturday at The Retreat at Super Bowl XLII, a celebrity gifting suite. "It all happened during the time that I disappeared and no one knew where I went. For five and a half years, I went through paralsys, the worst experience, and then I came back on `American Idol,' that was my first time back out there."

Abdul decided to return to music when Jackson asked her to be one of the artists on "Randy Jackson's Musical Club, Vol. 1."

"Everything felt right. The song was amazing," said Abdul, who added that she just finished a video for the song: "I'm dancing — wait to you see me," she said. "I'm doing things that you won't believe, that I don't even believe."

She's already started work on a new album that she expects to be released by the summer.

As for her other job, "American Idol," Abdul claims that this season's talent is the strongest yet.

"All the fat is trimmed, meaning that it's prime rib the whole lot," she said. "If we do it right and America does it right there could be a top twelve that are of the likes of Daughtry, Kelly, Carrie, I'm telling, you're in for an amazing season."

Super Bowl's Fox-y Lineup: Timberlake, Madonna, Idol Stars

Super Bowl's Fox-y Lineup: Timberlake, Madonna, Idol Stars


Entice viewers to visit the Website? Check. Kick off unprecedented multimedia campaign? Been there, done that. Launch hip, new product while also touting old favorites? Obviously. So what else is there?

Well, we could smack Justin Timberlake around, or showcase Madonna alongside Marilyn Monroe. What are Richard Simmons and Alice Cooper up to these days? And then there are all those American Idol connections to flaunt...

Who's ready for some football?!

Although not too many people will have to be tricked into watching the seemingly unstoppable New England Patriots take on the upstart New York Giants this weekend, there's no such thing as plain, ol' Super Bowl Sunday anymore.

What with the fancy promotional soirees leading up to the main event, the pregame festivities and, of course, the commercials that will have people completely rethinking their bathroom break schedules—there's something for everyone, even if you only know Tom Brady as the guy who's dating Gisele.

"We know for a fact that the hard-core football fan watches our show every Sunday," Fox Sports chairman David Hill told Broadcasting & Cable. "But there's going to be a whole bunch of people watching the show who are not football fanatics, but who are fascinated with the whole culture of the Super Bowl."

The pigskin will be laced with as much star power as ever this year, and that's not even including the celebs Ryan Seacrest will be interviewing on the red carpet (yes, there's a red carpet now) during Fox's all-afternoon pregame coverage from University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Rumored ticket-holders (or luxury box guests) include George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson and Paris Hilton, who heard there was a party going on somewhere.

But for those unable to tee off alongside Nick Lachey at the Super Skins Celebrity Golf Classic in Scottsdale, or boogie with John Travolta at American Airlines' Saturday Night Spectacular, or knock one back with Carmen Electra at Snow Queen Vodka's Leather & Laces party Friday, Fox has ensured there will be plenty of celebrity sightings right in their living rooms.

Sometime between 3:30 and 4 p.m. PT, Fox watchers will be treated to a duet from Willie Nelson and Sara Evans, then, during the following half hour, Paula Abdul will be doing the singing for a change, debuting her new single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," off of Randy Jackson's latest album.

About an hour before the 6 p.m. kickoff, Alicia Keys will perform. The Idol invasion continues with hometown girl Jordin Sparks singing the national anthem.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be serenading American girls and boys during the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show. A coup for them considering last year's headliner, Prince, saw his album sales double the week after the game, according to Billboard.

Meanwhile, amid all the hullabaloo (and don't worry, Fox will still be providing plenty of football-related coverage throughout all that), what's a deep-pocketed advertiser to do?

They may not have been dreaming about it as long as Eli Manning has, but marketing teams have been gearing up for the 2008 Super Bowl since Peyton uncorked the champagne last year. And whether they sell cars, cola, tacos or underwear, all want to ensure that the record $2.7 million they're forking over for 30 seconds of ad time is being put to good use.



"You want to be in the game for a really good reason," AdvertisingAge TV editor Brian Steinberg told E! Online, pointing out the inherent difficulties of making sure viewers know they're watching, for example, a Coke ad, rather than one of Bud purveyor Anheuser-Busch's telecast-leading seven spots. "If you're just there for the hell of it, it's not always easy to get a message out."

But once it's out, boy is it out. More than 93 million people tuned into CBS' Super Bowl coverage last year, and then there were the countless others who hit up the Internet to rewatch their favorite commercials after the game.

Anheuser-Bush, which pays below the average rate because it buys in bulk but shells out a fee to be the event's exclusive beer peddler, alone accounted for 30 million hits in the week following Super Bowl XLI, per the company's estimate.

And, along with Coca-Cola Co.'s three spots (including one for Vitaminwater in which 7-foot, 2-inch Shaquille O'Neal plays a jockey!), the brewer's four minutes of ad time are among the most anticipated this year, as well. (A bonus spot has been prepped for mobile devices after the game, as well.)

Within minutes of their premieres, viewers will be able review and vote for their faves on Google, spike.com, budbowl.com, MySpace, AOL, YouTube, ESPN, funnyordie.com, iFilm, Yahoo, etc.

"It's one of the few remaining venues where people actually watch the commercials. Really, at the end of the day, when you break it down, it's not that much of a premium in terms of reaching people," said Michael Fluck, brand manager for first-time Super Bowl advertiser Bridgestone Firestone North America, which has two 30-second spots this year, not to mention its halftime show sponsorship.

"Not only do we target our core demographic, we reach everybody else, pretty much," Fluck said.

As is the current trend, 10-second snippets of Bridgestone's ads—"Scream," featuring a cute squirrel that would be in danger of becoming road kill if the oncoming car had been equipped with lesser tires; and "Unexpected Obstacles," in which fitness guru Richard Simmons, rocker Alice Cooper and an albino snake also face off against a speeding car—can be previewed online, including on Bridgestone's Website.

Also not technically premiering until Sunday but available for your drooling pleasure is Timberlake going through everything except hellfire once the pull of Pepsi Stuff gets a hold of him. A literally wigged-out Andy Samberg and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo also appear in the 30-second ad plugging PepsiCo's new campaign, cosponsored by Amazon, in which Pepsi product buyers earn points redeemable for DVDs, clothing and other "stuff" via pepsistuff.com.

"The stage is set and we aim to fill it," Cie Nicholson, senior VP and chief marketing officer for Pepsi-Cola North America, said regarding the unparalleled opportunity the Super Bowl brings. "In doing so, we're going to put on a really big show the way only we can."

Also under the Pepsi umbrella Sunday:

* Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J and Macy Gray's energy and spirits will be flagging until they get a taste of Diet Pepsi Max.
* Naomi Campbell struts her stuff for SoBe Life Water.
* AMP Energy will give NASCAR star Dale Earnhart the fuel he needs.
* Derek Jeter goes to bat for the launch of G2, a low-cal Gatorade that has the Yankees shortstop seeing diamonds in midtown Manhattan.
* Don’t adjust your dials: Pepsi has also teamed with sister brand Frito-Lay for a completely silent 60-second spot about the love of the game featuring deaf PepsiCo employees communicating in American Sign Language.

Sparks, Keys, Petty headline Super show

She's just a rookie, and already Jordin Sparks is going further in the NFL than her father. Only 2 1/2 months after the youngest "American Idol" winner released her debut album, the teen is set to perform the national anthem Sunday at the Super Bowl. In nine years as a pro cornerback, pop Phillippi Sparks never reached the big game.

"I said, 'Dad, I'm singing at the Super Bowl,'" she said Thursday. "He said, 'At least one of us made it.'"

No surprise about which team she'll root for when the New York Giants play the New England Patriots. Her dad spent all but one season with the Giants.

"There definitely is a tie with them," the 18-year-old Sparks said. "I got to go for the underdogs."

Sparks considers herself a "huge, humongous football fan." Nine-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys, who will provide the pregame entertainment, is less so — most of the time, anyway.

"Even I, who might think the Mighty Ducks and Penguins are playing, love the Super Bowl," Keys said. For the record, she's pulling for her hometown Giants.

Tom Petty, headlining the halftime show with his Heartbreakers, stayed neutral.

"I'm for everybody," he said.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, however, has a fan in Bill Belichick. In a light moment for him, the Patriots coach admitted he was sorry to miss Petty's performance and said he might play the band's CDs while preparing for the game.

"Well, it's never kept anyone from winning," Petty said.

Like previous halftime performers Prince, the Rolling Stones and U2, Petty's greatest challenge will come in whittling down his band's work into a tight set. They have a total of 12 minutes to perform, and that includes moving 56 carts on and off the field.

"There's this football game that has to go on," Petty said.

Petty grew up in Gainesville, Fla., and does root for the Gators. He also wasn't picking any political candidates, even though his "American Girl" was blasting during Hillary Clinton's recent campaign rallies in New Hampshire.

"We weren't aware of it, but we've heard about it," he said. "We're not endorsing any candidates. You wouldn't want to take a guitar player's advice."

Sparks lives in nearby Glendale — convenient, because the Super Bowl will be played there, at the University of Phoenix Stadium. She sang the national anthem before the Arizona Cardinals played their first regular-season game at the stadium in 2006, but the Super Bowl is in another league.

"For me, since my career has been a couple of months, it's way up there," she said.

Sitting next to Sparks, Keys looked forward to a European tour that begins Feb. 25. Coming off her album "As I Am," she also announced the dates and locations of her U.S. tour, starting April 19 in Hampton, Va., and ending June 18 at Madison Square Garden.

Before that, there's Sunday's performance.

"I'm going to take you by the neck and demand that you watch me," Keys said.

"What she said," Sparks echoed.

Madonna's Super Bowl Score

One ticket to the Super Bowl: $2,000. Thirty seconds of advertising during the Super Bowl: $2.7 million. Five seconds' worth of Madonna in a Super Bowl ad: A heck of a lot more than that.

Sources tell E! Online that the Material Girl was paid $10 million to appear in a commercial for Sunsilk hair-care products that will premiere during the in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and New York Giants (most of whom do not make $10 million in an entire season).

In the 30-second spot, old stock footage of Madonna, Shakira and Marilyn Monroe is woven together in a Warholian, pop art-inspired montage touting Sunsilk's new "Life Can't Wait" global campaign.

"Make your hair happen," the ad urges, to the closing strains of Madonna's "Ray of Light."

Shakira did herself a nice—although not as nice—turn, as well, collecting $2.5 million from Unilever, which opted to use its only Super Bowl buy to spotlight the Sunsilk brand. (For those who don't want to wait for the two-minute warning, the commercial can be previewed at lifecan'twait.com.)

Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, had no comment on her client's reported payday.

"I have not seen the commercial nor do I have any information on the financial part of the deal," she told E! News.

Even if she did the work gratis, however, Madonna would still be the richest gal in the business. The Confessions on a Dance Floor artist banked $72 million between June 2006 and June 2007, according to Forbes.com's new list of the top 20 "Cash Queens of Music."

In addition to her slice of her $260 million-grossing Confessions tour, Madonna had proceeds from album sales, merchandizing and license fees, clothing lines, fragrance deals and other endorsements to fall back on.

A whole Super Bowl ad behind was Barbra Streisand, who came in at number two with $60 million.

But although Madonna didn't have to do much to have her moment in the Sunsilk, she's been plenty busy recording her 11th studio album, the working title of which is Give It to Me, which is due out in April.

Justin Timberlake, who's also making a Super Bowl showing in a Pepsi ad, and Timbaland were reportedly on their way to London last week to shoot the video for the album's first single, "4 Minutes to Save the World," which the duo wrote and produced.

Will it be a Giant day for Eli Manning?

Hoboken's own Eli Manning hopes to lead Big Blue to a victory today over the Packers at Lambeau Field, but to do so he'll have to have ice in his veins. The game time temperature is supposed to be close to 0, and if there's a nice breeze, the wind chill could be in the negative teens. And you thought the Hoboken waterfront was cold today - brrr.

Here are the latest stories from the tabloids about Mile Square Manning.

The New York Post says Eli asked his fiancee, Abby McGrew, to brave the cold and sit in the stands, rather than in a luxury suite.

Eli's oldest brother, Cooper Manning - why don't the Jets sign him to a contract, just for the heck of it? - told the Post that Miss McGrew usually sits in the stands, but on the rare occasion she's been in a luxury box, the Giants have lost.

"Abby almost always sits in the stands, but I guess once or twice she was invited to sit in a suite and things didn't end well," Cooper told the Post.

"In the spirit of superstition, Eli told her, 'I don't care if it's 4 degrees in Green Bay, you're sitting in the stands,'" he said.

Cooper says Abby, "a great gal," will oblige Eli's request. "Anything for a 'W,'" Cooper told the newspaper.

The Post has another story that Eli is cheating - not on McGrew, but on Hoboken. He's apparently becoming quite the Big Apple fan - even signing "I'm Too Sexy" at karaoke bars.

Cooper, again, had the scoop for the Post.

"He's gotten into wine. He can navigate a wine list pretty good, which is pretty funny. We'll be out to eat, and he'll order some Bordeaux I've never heard of, and I'll say, 'Oh, hey hey, who's this? Look how hoity-toity,'" Cooper told the newspaper.

"He really adores New York. He is in heaven right now."

But don't worry. He may stray, but he's still a Hobokenite at heart:

To be sure, Eli mostly leads a quiet life of ordering in from his Hoboken, NJ, home. But he "really loves visiting Manhattan," particularly to eat, Cooper said.

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News reports that Eli's two playoff wins have garnered him plenty of endorsements.

Fresh off two straight playoff wins, Eli Manning is fielding numerous endorsement inquiries from national brands - and a victory Sunday will only earn him more money, experts told the Daily News.

"If the Giants win and go on to the Super Bowl, he'll be on center stage in one of the most-watched sporting events in the world," said Steven Weinreb, managing director of Steiner Sports.

He's already locked up Citizen Watch Co., Toyota of New Jersey and ESPN Radio.

For a long time it seemed like the only Manning you'd see on TV was Peyton. In fact, in two of Eli's most memorable commercials, he was a co-star with his big brother.
