  Tongue-in-cheek translations of rap lyrics for the clueless! 
   
  Rap songs are famous for their double entendres, clever turns of phrase, and general ingenuity, but that doesn’t mean things always make sense the first time around.  
   
  Enter Understand Rap, a funny pop-cultural reference based on the website of the same name, which dryly and precisely explains the confusing lyrics and terms used in rap songs—in language that even the most unhip person can understand!

  Anonymous SHAKE-SPEARE - The Man...

  WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE had nothing to do with the actor and money lender William Shaksper from Stratford-upon-Avon. The man behind the nom de plum „William Shakespeare“ was, in fact, a very well educated aristoctrat who often frequented the court of Elizabeth and whose real name was Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford. The dramas of the spear shaker, Shakespeare were not written for the Globe theatre but for the Queen's court. The dramatist Ben Jonson published the Shakespearian works and saw to it that a monument, with a bust of the „marionette dramatist“ William Shaksper was erected in the church of Stratford-upon-Avon. These astonishing theories are not the theme of a fictional work. They are based on a diligently researched academic biography of the the author, which could indeed deliver the story for a novel.

  Do Not Adjust Your Set is a 60s comedy show comprised mostly of satirical sketches, often presented in a bizarre, surreal and disjointed manner- much like that of Monty Python, a succeeding show which several of the cast became part of. 
  An important Monty Python predecessor and arguably one of the finest children's sketch comedies ever produced, DNAYS is certainly something you do not want to miss... 
  This volume features a compilation of classic sketches from the show, including: 
  -Instrumental-The Problems of Falling Over-The Wild and Woolly West-Weather-Hamster Allergies-Post Early for Christmas-Its Lucy!-You're Fired!-Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band-Announcement-Tubas in Moonlight-Fancy Dress for Two-Dog Food-Captain Fantastic-Musicians at Work

  The former Van Halen front man recounts his life, from his childhood to his wild days in rock ‘n’ roll, in this one-of-a-kind memoir. 
   
  For almost forty years, Sammy Hagar has been a fixture in rock music. From breaking into the industry with the band Montrose to his multiplatinum solo career to his ride as the front man of Van Halen, Sammy’s powerful and unforgettable voice has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written—songs like “I Can’t Drive 55,” “Right Now,” and “Why Can’t This Be Love.” 
   
  In Red, Sammy tells the outrageous story of his tear through rock ‘n’ roll. From the decadence of being one of the world’s biggest rock stars to the unfiltered story of being forced out of Van Halen, Sammy’s account spares no one, least of all himself. His is a tale of a true rock ‘n’ roller—someone who’s spent decades bringing the party with wherever he goes but always headin’ back to Cabo for más tequila. 
   
  Praise for Red 
   
  “There are tell-all books, and then there are tell-all books written by Sammy Hagar. The ex-Van Halen front man holds back nothing—and I mean absolutely nothing. . . . Red is jam-packed with great anecdotes . . . and other tidbits that take fans of music and pop culture to places they normally wouldn’t get to go.” —Associated Press
