(NOTE: this is actually a later post, but i want this week's post to begin with Marvin. whahaha..)

i cannot say for how many times in the past few years that i absolutely like the song Pure Imagination. i didn't know who sang it (the version i really like sounds like Cake's), but i know the song was very old... a clip with gene wilder singing as willy wonka does it. (mom bursts out laughing when i asked about the song). but anyway, i searched for the lyrics (musical mood eh?) and was pleasantly surprised that Maroon 5 (one of my fave bands) is doing a cover for the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (where 'pure imagination' all started). i swear you'll get snazzily nostalgic.. ;)

Pure Imagination
Maroon 5

Come with me, and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin, with a spin
Traveling in a world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation

And if you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

And if you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
