[00:00.00] christina aguilera - back in the day
[03:49.25][00:09.14]
[00:01.09] what we're gonna do right here is go back
[00:05.29] way back, back into time
[00:41.77] back in the day
[00:42.52] they used to say
[00:43.66] play that song, get it going and the band played
[00:46.12] and still today
[00:47.53] you hear us say
[00:48.48] play that song all night long, mr. dj
[00:50.81] though times have changed,
[00:52.24] it's still the same
[00:53.21] we all need a minute to get away
[00:55.64] so let it go and feel the flow
[00:58.09] if you've got soul, let the world know
[01:00.64] we're gonna set the mood (set the mood off right)
[01:05.34] gonna go back to an old school groove (go back to an old school groove)
[01:09.94] gonna rewind to another time
[01:14.49] when the originators innovators were alive, yeah
[01:18.99] here we say now
[01:19.51] so break out the marvin gaye and etta james
