My English teacher wrote this song... nbd

[KarlaDeVito]

@BataleonStallion :

if your English teacher's name is Mr. Mundt, he most certainly did!!!

(you are very lucky to have him for a teacher -- he was my creative musical guide thru HS and beyond --

always trusted his impeccable eclectic taste!!!!)

[discerdan]

[stump469]

@StephanieBarbey

Totally.... ;)

I'm a little late to this party, but I have to say,

this song kicks butt outta a lot of the new rubbish we get now days.

And it's nearly 30 years old......

ROK on Karla !!

(your newest "old" fan)

[ododlig]

Boy... I remember when i listened to this song for the first time 8 years ago when the drummer of my band brought it to us to check the intro of this song. We liked it and we used as a template to a METAL song, hahaha, i know it's 2 very different styles but since them i was searching for more Karla's songs because i fell in love with her way to sing. It's nice to see it here in youtube, those years it was hard for me to find it.

[KarlaDeVito]

I want some french sunglasses; call waiting on my phone; I want a house for my Mother -- just like Moses Malone! I'll keep my options open, my possibilities pure, I'll keep my eye to the main chance -- I'll keep my place in this Cool World! Cool World Is this a Cool World? Is this a Cool World? Is this a Cool World...OR WHAT?!

xoxox

@wanda11111

I can't make up my mind...what the possibilities are -- fascinating or boring? Is this a Cool World or What?! I'm in a brown study; I'm in a blue funk; I'm in a purple haze -- but they fade into a Cool World! (chorus) I had a broken-down heart, I had a saddled down soul, I had a head full of doubt -- til I heard about the Cool World. Now I'm laughin up my sleeve, I'm talkin through my hat, I'm whistling past the grave yard -- pretending it's a Cool World! (chorus)

[wanda11111]

I've been looking for the lyrics of "cool world" but, NOTHING... Can anybody help? please! please! please!

tx...8-)

[setialphasix]

Oh, my GOD! Karla DeVito, you're AMAZING! I fell in love with your music of COURSE back when "The Breakfast Club" first came out, and have been a fan since! Do you have any videos of you performing "We Are Not Alone"? The lyrics were bloody BRILLIANT, but all we can find are "breakfast club" videos with the song! Thanks for bringing us all these cool performances!

[vambbo]

Karla!!!! you rock sweetheart :-) xxxxx

[Dread58]

Wow, I remember Karla from the late 70's into the 80's. WOW was I in love with her!

I still have her Cool World album.. ON Vinyl!!

I still think you were one of the HOTTEST singers in the business!

[brickmanonj]

WOW ... how great! I was just listening to this in my car tonight. I still have the original album. Well 2 copies of the LP ... my Dad has one and I have one. Great!!!

[KarlaDeVito]

[sokrowische]

Can you give us the lyrics for this great song? Love from Germany!

[KarlaDeVito]

(chorus)

Thanks for asking for them sokrowische!

[sokrowische]

Thanx so much for the lyrics - they are really cool ... and I'm laughing cause I always understood complete different thing, e.g. "I am a hustler, a murder" instead of "I want a house for my mother" :-)

[KarlaDeVito]

hahah!! that's part of the fun of listening -- filling in the blanks!

(moses malone was a young NBA player at the time and gregg mundt said Malone's wish list was exactly like mine -- he wanted to buy his mom a house!)

[sokrowische]

So I hope you and Moses finally managed to fulfill your wishes :-)!

[sokrowische]

This is my very favorite song of the 80s. Make a club remake of it and you will be rich!

[androom]

Karla should've made many more albums...

[eileenbaileyjohns]

The essence of the early 80s! What a pretty voice.

[dowmck]

What? Is this a cool video or what!!!

If Who's On First, and What's On Second, I Don't Know's On Third, Karla knocked it out of the park with this one!!

[aputey]

thanks for this
