You get two benefits from one show: 一集节目，两个收获
Enjoy beautiful weekend songs and learn English at the same time: 边享受好听的歌曲，边学英语
We want to make sure we choose songs suitable for learning: 我们给大家选了适合英语学习的歌

"歌词"英语怎么说？
这两个说法都可以 Lyrics Words
区别是words这个说法比lyrics更口语
The lyrics to this song are very simple, but super practical: 这些歌的歌词都简单，但非常实用

For me, a good English song for learning should have lyrics that can be used in everyday situations: 对我来说，适合学英语的歌一定要有通用、实用的歌词
But many songs like R&B songs and rap songs are nice to listen to, but not the best for learning: 有些现在的R&B, rap歌就没法用来学英语

The Lazy Song
Today I don't feel like doin' anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan

Something Stupid
I know I'd stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance

You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid Like I love you
