Songwriting[edit]
Music[edit]
Like two other songs from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Down by the River", Young wrote "Cinnamon Girl" while he was suffering from the flu with a high fever at his home in Topanga, California.[1][2]
This song displays the very prominent role played by Danny Whitten in the sound of Young's early recordings. The vocals are a duet, with Whitten singing the high harmony against Young's low harmony. (The 45 rpm single mix of the song, in addition to being in mono and cutting off the guitar outro, features Whitten's vocal more prominently than the album version.) Young performed the song on his then-recently acquired Gibson Les Paul, "Old Black".
The song was written in Double drop D tuning (DADGBD). This tuning is used in several of his most famous songs, such as "The Loner", "The Old Laughing Lady", "When You Dance I Can Really Love", "Ohio", and "Cortez the Killer"[3]. The music features a prominent descending bass guitar line.[4] The song's "one note guitar solo", consisting largely of a repeating, sharply played jangling D note, has often been singled out for praise. [5]
Lyrics[edit]
The lyrics have the singer daydreaming for a girl to love, singing that he waits "between shows" for his lover.[6] Young has claimed that he wrote the song "for a city girl on peeling pavement coming at me through Phil Ochs' eyes playing finger cymbals. It was hard to explain to my wife."[4] The city girl playing finger cymbals is a reference to folk singer Jean Ray.[6] Music critic Johnny Rogan described the lyrics as "exotic and allusive without really saying anything at all."[4] Critic Toby Creswell describes the lyrics as "cryptic love lyrics" noting that they are sung "over the crunching power of Crazy Horse."[2] Critic John Mendelsohn felt the song conveyed a message of "desperation begetting brutal vindictiveness," hinted at by the "almost impenetrably subjective words" but carried strongly by the sound of Crazy Horse's "heavy, sinister accompaniment."[2] Introducing the song at a performance associated with Writer's Week at Whittier College (California) in April, 2015, Los Lobos co-founder Louie Perez said that when he first heard "Cinnamon Girl", he was sure it was about a Mexican girl.[7]
In an interview with Q magazine, singer Beck named the "Cinnamon Girl" riff as his all-time favourite, equal with Black Sabbath's "Supernaut".

Plot[edit]
Kae Serinuma is a fujoshi, a female manga and anime geek who loves reading yaoi (boys love) material and imagining men together in romantic relationships, both fictional and real. When one of her favorite anime characters is killed off, Kae is so shocked that she locks herself in her room for a whole week. When she eventually comes out, she discovers that she has lost a lot of weight. She becomes a beautiful girl that catches the eye of four boys at her school: Yūsuke Igarashi, Nozomu Nanashima, Hayato Shinomiya, and Asuma Mutsumi. Despite learning about Kae's bizarre tendencies, the four boys, along with another fujoshi girl named Shima Nishina, all fall for Kae and begin competing with each other for her affection, much to Kae's frustration as she wants them to get along with each other.

Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki[4] (drama CD), Keisuke Kōmoto[7] (Japanese); Orion Pitts (English)[8]

An androgynous first year girl who is the descendant of a rich family and is skilled in both sports and arts. Like Kae, she is also a fujoshi and even runs her own dōjin circle.

Asuma Mutsumi (六見 遊馬, Mutsumi Asuma)
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai[4] (drama CD), Nobunaga Shimazaki[7] (Japanese); David Wald (English)[8]
A third year student who is president of the history club and one of the few people who liked Kae before she lost her weight.

Wanting Kae to go back to her more beautiful self, Nozomu and Hayato try and get Kae to lose her weight, only to discover that their methods are doing more harm than good. As Yūsuke comes to realise that he loves Kae regardless of her weight, the boys come up with a reward system, awarding Kae with yaoi fanservice for every weight goal reached.

After Kae recovers, she and Asuma come up against the alleged ghost of Sametora, managing to use charms bought at the shrine to bring him to peace.

The next day, Kazuma challenges Asuma to a duel of the Guard the Castle card game, with Kae as the prize, leading Asuma to realise this is the one thing he cannot let his brother have.

After Asuma makes a public broadcast asking Kae to meet him on the roof after school, he prompts the others to also come to the rooftop and properly reveal their feelings, leading to everyone confessing to Kae at the same time. Feeling she can't make a decision without knowing everyone better, Kae decides to spend each day of the holiday going on dates with each of her suitors. As such, she goes to an aquarium with Yusuke, an amusement park with Nozomu, and alpaca farm with Hayato, a trip to Okinawa with Shima, and a treasure hunt with Asuma. After remaining uncertain following the dates, Kae ends up rekindling her love for Shion upon learning that he might be revived for a second season of Mirage Saga, leaving everyone's confessions unanswered.

I'm Sitting on Top of the World
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

"I'm Sitting on Top of the World" is a popular song with music written by Ray Henderson and lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. It was published in 1925.
The song was most likely first recorded by Art Gillham (‘the Whispering Pianist’), who recorded ‘I'm Sitting on Top of the World’ on 24 October 1925. Al Jolson's recording is generally attributed to 1926. It was used in the 1928 part-talkie film "The Singing Fool" starring Al Jolson. In February 1926, Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Hotel Biltmore Orchestra's 1925 recording of I'm Sitting On Top Of The World charted at #9.

Additionally, the song "I'm On My Way" by The Proclaimers makes reference to the song, saying "I'd have Al Jolson sing 'I'm sittin' on top of the world'."
The song was a major revival in a 1952 version by Les Paul and Mary Ford. Aretha Franklin recorded the song for her album The Tender, the Moving, the Swinging Aretha Franklin (1962).
Appearances of the song[edit]
Jolson's recording (1926) was played:
In the closing sequence of Richard Loncraine's film Richard III (1995).
During the opening montage of 1930s New York City in the 2005 remake of King Kong.
As part of the soundtrack of Woody Allen's film Zelig (1983).
