Christopher Columbus (between 25 August and 31 October 1451 – 20 May 1506) was an Italian explorer and navigator from the Republic of Genoa who completed four Spanish-based voyages across the Atlantic Ocean sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs, opening the way for the widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas. His expeditions were the first known European contact with the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Tracks of my Tears, Linda Ronstadt 1975 (Smokey Robinson 1965)
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh, I need you, (need you)
Need you, (need you)
Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute he's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, oh
(Outside), I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading
(I'm just a clown), since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you
Baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Woah baby take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, ooh

Bank of the Chain Gang, Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders 1982)
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Well, it hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we've been cast out of, oh-oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
Circumstance beyond our control, oh-oh
The phone, the TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
Well, I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now I'm back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang

Love Grows (where my Rosemary goes) (1970 Edison Lighthouse)
She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me
She talks kinda lazy
And people say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine and I just gotta say, "Hey"
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well that I can't get away
I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me
There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine and I just gotta say, "Hey"
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well that I can't get away
I'm a lucky fella and I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me
It keeps growing every place she's been and nobody knows like me
If you've met her, you'll never forget her and nobody knows like me
La, la, la, believe it when you've seen it
Nobody knows like me...
