What's My Name, the single performed by Barbadian R&B recording artist Rihanna, featureing her ex-boyfriend, Canadian Rapper Drake, has become a great hit in YouTube and the real world. The single was the top spot in U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and marks Rihanna's eighth career Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 and third this year.
The song is the second single in Rihanna's fifth studio album Loud, was written by Stargate, Ester Dean, Traci Hale and Drake, and was produced by Stargate. The first time when I listen to What's My Name, I didn't like it so much, but now I abuse the Replay button. It's a beautiful song and Rihanna is gorgeous in the music video.
Rihanna is the first person ever to reach a trio of Billboard Hot 100 artists in a year. Before this year, the last time when she ruled the Hot 100 was in 2008, with her own "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia" and added vocals to T.I.'s "Live Your Life."
Below is the lyrics of Rihanna – What's My Name. Enjoy the song and lyrics.
[Rihanna]
Ooh na na, what's my name

[Drake]
I heard you good with them soft lips
Yeah you know word of mouth
The square root of 69 is 8 something
Cuz I've been tryna work it out, oooow
Good weed, white wine
I come alive in the night time
Okay, away we go
Only thing we have on is the radio
Ooooh, let it play, say you gotta leave
But I know you wanna stay
You just waiting on the track to finish girl
The things we could do in twenty minutes girl
Say my name, say my name
Wear it out, its getting hot, crack a window, air it out
I can get you through a mighty long day
Soon as I go the text you gon right is gon say…
[Rihanna]
Not everybody knows how to work my body
Knows how to make me want it
Boy you stay up on it
You got that something that keeps me so off balance
Baby you're a challenge, lets explore your talent
[Chorus]
Hey boy I really wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy to really take it over
Looking for a girl to put you over
Oooooh, oooooh
Hey boy I really wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy to really take it over
Looking for a girl to put you over
Oooooh, oooooh
Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Whats my name, whats my name
[Rihanna]
Baby you got me, aint nowhere that I'd be
Then with your arms around me
Back and forth you rock me
So I surrender, to every word you whisper
Every door you enter, I will let you in
[Chorus]
Hey boy I really wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy to really take it over
Looking for a girl to put you over
Oooooh, oooooh
You're so amazing, you took the time to figure me out
Thats why you take me, way past the point of turning me on
You bout to break me, I swear you got me losing my mind
Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name

Ooh na na, what's my name

Coldplay - Christmas Lights Lyrics
Christmas night, another fight
Tears we've cried are flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood
I took my feet to Oxford street
Trying to right or wrong
Just walk away those windows
But I can't believe she's gone
When your still waiting for the snowfall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
A group of candles on me are flickering
Oh they flicker and they flow
And I am up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope
And like some drunken in this city
I am go singing out of tune
Singing how I always loved you darling
And how I always will
But when your still waiting for the snowfall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Those Christmas Lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Ohh Christmas Lights keep shining on
Those Christmas Lights
Light up the street
Maybe they bring here back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Ohh Christmas Lights keep shining on
Ohh Christmas Lights
Light up the streets
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas Lights keep shining on

But on Friday, Viacom appeals a ruling to a court again against YouTube. The media conglomerate contends that its video copyright is infringing by YouTube and asks for more than one billion U.S. dollars in compensation.
Back to June this year, Viacom believed that YouTube turned a blind eye to the infringing content. These infringing content, including thousands of Viacom's MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon video were posted by Viacom's users, and YouTube failed to remove them. But the judge finally ruled that YouTube was innocent as YouTube had removed all the infringing content as soon as it received the infringement notice.
This time, Viacom has collected one hundred thousand alleged infringing videos and submits them to the court. What's more, Viacom declares that YouTube has a system that can identify pirated video content when the pirated video is being uploading, which suggests that YouTube has the ability to reject illegal content. Still, the court judges that YouTube needn't to take any responsibility as YouTube had removed those infringing content the next day.
Viacom also claims that YouTube has developed into the largest video site through the illegal use of copyrighted video clips.
At present, about 24 hours video content is uploaded to YouTube per minute.
Google thinks that the the original judgement will be upheld.

Nelly - Just A Dream Lyrics
I was thinking about her Thinking bout me Thinkin bout us (us) What we gunna be? Open my eyes, (Yeah) it was only just a dream...
So I drive on back (uh) down that road (road) Will she come back? (Uh) No one knows I realize (Yeah) It was only just a dream.
I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement Number 1 spot, Now she find her a replacement I swear now I can't take it Knowing somebody's got my baby
Now you ain't around, baby I can't think I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring Cuz I can still feel it in the air See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair
My love of my life, My shawty, my wife She left me, Im tied. Cuz I knew that it just ain't right
I was thinking about her Thinking bout me Thinkin bout us (us) What we gunna be? Open my eyes, (Yeah) it was only just a dream...
So I drive on back (Uh) Down that road (Yeah) Will she come back? (back) No one knows I realize (Yeah) It was only just a dream.
When I be ridin man I swear I see your face at every turn trying to get my usher on but I can't let it burn And I just hope that she notice she the only one I yearn for No more will I be missing, will I learn?
Didn't give her all my love I guess now I got my payback Now im in the club thinking all about my baby HEY, she was so easy to love But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough I'm going through it everytime that I'm alone Now I'm wishing she would pick up the phone But she made a decision that she wanted to move on Cause I was wrong.
I was thinking about her Thinking bout me Thinkin bout us (us) What we gunna be? Open my eyes, (Yeah) it was only just a dream...
So I drive on back (Uh) Down that road (road) Will she come back? (back) No one knows I realize (Yeah) It was only just a dream...
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up If you ever loved somebody put your hands up Now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything X2
I was thinking about her Thinking bout me Thinkin bout us (us) What we gunna be? Open my eyes, (Yeah) it was only just a dream...
So I drive on back (Uh) Down that road (road) Will she come back? (back) No one knows I realize (Yeah) It was only just a dream... X2
