Greatest song ever

Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's free (to wear sunscreen)
Text in red are my comments and oppinions.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
Wear Sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience…

That's the way it often is
I will dispense this advice, now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;
oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.

Except if you're named Maito Gai and Rock Lee
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself, and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….

Possible, but not probably
You are not as fat as you imagine.

O'Rly?
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.

Both's so fecking hard
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind;
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Or everyday of the year
Do one thing everyday that scares you

By going outside to face people, I face things that scares me
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Never. I think... I'm not too sure
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy;
sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind; the race is long,
and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

We are our own enemies
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Don't ever listen to people's oppinions about you. They most often lie.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Never got love letters
Stretch

Ahahahaha.. Air, AIR!!! Can't breathe!
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…
the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives,
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.

If that only was the accepted way today
Get plenty of calcium.

Milk FTW
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Already gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll divorce at 40,
maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…

Will I get that old?
What ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much
or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance,
so are everybody else’s.

Spoilsport
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can,
don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it,
it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..

Mind over matter. My body won't ever be what I want it to be
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

No need to read beauty magazines, it's enough for me to look in the newspaper
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings, their your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Everything's fine with your parents when you move out.
Understand that friends come and go, but with the precious few you should hold on.

And some people don't get that.. Stupid arses
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get,
the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Looking forward to class reunions
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;
live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Hell no!
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander,
you too will get old and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young
prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.

Respect everyone, no matter age or apperance, FFS
Don’t expect anyone else to support you.

First thing you ever learn
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse;
but you never know when either one might run out.

Gief moneh!
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Oh shit, I'm fucked now then
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

What?
But trust me on the sunscreen…

Okay, can do!
