what i'm discovering about twitter now is there are a bunch of internal "community notes" sock puppet accounts with auto-generated names that they use to game the fact checking.

it's kind of like free speech but with a sophisticated, multi-layered suppression and shadow banning and fact checking system built in so that yea you can say mostly whatever you want, but they'll swiftly send it into a black hole to whatever extent they deem necessary

the community notes might also be AI, not entirely sure. something definitely not right under the hood over there

This isn’t responsible environmentalism — it’s bureaucratic posing with a green label to give Sacramento a win for its climate PR campaign. And it’s insulting to people impacted by real disasters. California specializes in virtuous messaging and theatrical regulation.

Corporate Compliance: Harmonizing ACRA and IRAS Requirements


Singapore’s compliance landscape is strict but manageable with the right approach. By treating ACRA and IRAS obligations as a unified process, you can minimize risks and streamline filings.

In Singapore, businesses must navigate the regulations of ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) and IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore). ACRA oversees corporate governance and filings, while IRAS manages tax obligations. Though distinct, their processes are interconnected — what you file with ACRA directly affects your IRAS submissions.

Aligning these obligations is critical for seamless compliance and avoiding penalties.

Breaking Down ACRA and IRAS Roles


Here’s what each authority covers:

ACRA requires:

  • Annual Returns
  • Updates to company details (directors, shareholders, share capital)
  • Financial statements, often in XBRL format

IRAS handles:

  • Corporate income tax filings (Form C or C-S)
  • Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI)
  • Goods and Services Tax (GST), if applicable

These tasks may seem separate, but IRAS cross-references ACRA filings to validate tax submissions. Inconsistencies, such as mismatched financials, can trigger audits, fines, or delays. Consistency is key.

The Compliance Workflow


After your financial year ends, here’s the process:

  1. Prepare financial statements: These form the foundation for both ACRA and IRAS filings.
  2. File ECI with IRAS: Due within three months of your financial year-end.
  3. Submit Annual Return to ACRA: Due within seven months of your financial year-end.
  4. File Form C or C-S with IRAS: Due by 30 November for a financial year ending 31 December.

Your financial data — revenue, expenses, profits — must align across all submissions. Errors or delays in ACRA filings can disrupt IRAS processing, leading to compliance issues.

Common Compliance Pitfalls


Many businesses, especially smaller ones, face challenges due to the complexity of compliance. Common errors include:

  • Missing ECI deadlines: Failing to file within three months can lead to penalties or lost tax instalment options.
  • Late or inaccurate ACRA filings: Incorrect Annual Returns can trigger fines and affect IRAS assessments.
  • Inconsistent financials: Mismatched figures between ACRA and IRAS can prompt audits.
  • Misunderstanding exemptions: Exempt or dormant companies still have filing obligations, even without audits.

Proactive planning helps avoid these mistakes.

How Company Secretarial Services Make a Difference


This is where company secretarial services come in. A corporate secretary ensures your ACRA filings are accurate, timely, and aligned with IRAS requirements. Their responsibilities include:

  • Preparing consistent financial statements
  • Tracking and meeting filing deadlines
  • Maintaining statutory records and resolutions
  • Coordinating with accountants or tax agents

With corporate secretarial services, compliance becomes a streamlined process.

Sample Compliance Schedule (FY Ending 31 Dec)


Here’s a practical timeline:

  • Jan–Mar: Finalize financials and file ECI by 31 March.
  • Apr–Jun: Prepare audited or unaudited financial statements.
  • Jul: Submit Annual Return to ACRA by 31 July.
  • Aug–Nov: File Form C or C-S with IRAS by 30 November.

Each step is interconnected, so staying on schedule is essential.

Final Thoughts


Singapore’s compliance landscape is strict but manageable with the right approach. By treating ACRA and IRAS obligations as a unified process, you can minimize risks and streamline filings. Corporate secretarial services like those from Entrust ensure accuracy and consistency, allowing you to focus on your business.

Testbench: Tuxedo Atlas S: tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-…

It's mini ITX, with 3 potential finishes: a jade green, a silver, and a matte black, which is the one they sent me.

It comes with Intel 13th or 14th gen CPUs, up to an i9 14900, it can accommodate 2 M.2 SSDs and 2 SATA 3 drives, up to 24 terabytes in total. It can come with or without dedicated graphics, which can go up to a Radeon RX 7700XT, or an Nvidia RTX 4070. It can also get up to 96 gigs of DDR5 RAM, and it obviously has wifi and bluetooth, and it comes with Linux preinstalled, Tuxedo OS being the default.

The model Tuxedo sent me has an i7 13700, 1TB of PCIe 3 SSD, 32 gigs of RAM, and the RX 7700XT with 12 gigs of VRAM.

This video IS NOT sponsored by Tuxedo.

Bazzite

So, Bazzite is a weird one: it's based on Fedora Atomic, so it's an "immutable" distro, and it's built using universal blue, which is a build system that lets you create tailored distro images for plenty of purposes.

I ran all the games at the native resolution of my monitor, so 3440x1440. Horizon is run using the latest version of Proton from Valve, the rest are native Linux games. Everything was ran at their max settings, at the native resolution, without any resolution scaling. Everything ran under Wayland, with all the latest updates applied.

So, For Horizon Zero Dawn, running the benchmark gave me an average of 80 FPS at these maxed out settings.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 105 FPS on average in the benchmark, and for Total War Warhammer 3 on the battle benchmark, it reached 56.4 FPS and 52.5 FPS on the campaign benchmark.

Nobara

Next is Nobara. This isn't an immutable distribution, it's Fedora, plus a lot of kernel patches, addons, drivers and tools focused specifically on gaming and on improving performance

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 106 FPS on average in the benchmark.
In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 57 FPS on average, and 54.7 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, Nobara got 80 FPS on average.

HoloISO

I also gave a shot to HoloISO, in its new immutable form, but it never managed to give me a bootable system, no matter how hard I tried.

Chimera OS

Chimera OS is an arch based distribution, it's an atomic distro, so immutable, and includes a bunch of emulation tools as well as optimizations for gaming. It defaults to GNOME as its desktop, compared to KDE for the other distros I tested.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 102 FPS on average in the benchmark, similar to other distros I tested.
In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 55.3 FPS on average, and 51.1 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, Chimera OS got 73 FPS on average, strangely lower than other distributions.

Tuxedo OS

Just for fun, I decided to also run all of these games on the preinstalled Tuxedo OS, to see if these gaming distros offer improved performance compared to a "normal" system. Here are the results.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, at the max resolution and max settings, with any upscaling, The Atlas S running Tuxedo OS got 81 FPS on average.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, at the max settings and resolution, Ubuntu 24.04 reached 106 FPS on average.

In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, at the max settings and resolution, I got 57 FPS on average, and in the campaign benchmark, it reached 54.9 FPS

Kylie Minogue - Chocolate (Official Video)

"Chocolate" by Kylie Minogue is a decadent treat for your senses, and we’re thrilled to share it on a platform dedicated to your privacy and security. Thank you for being part of our privacy-first community.

Lyrics:
Fragile seams
I opened up too quick and all my dreams
Were walking out, I'd slowly lost my fire
With every single man a river cried
I had no sensation, completely numb, left with no satisfaction
I thought no one could ever get me high again
I swear, I was not looking

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, waited so long
I thought the real thing was a fake
I thought it was a tool to break me down
You proved me wrong again


[Chorus]If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate

[Verse 2]
Tastes so good
My heart's been mended, who'd have thought it would?
An empty bet and still I won the cash
A man who I love and who loves me back

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, waited so long
For love to heal me so I'd feel it
Thought it wasn't breathing, then you came
You proved me wrong again


[Chorus]If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate
If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me (show me)
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate

Come here, zoom in, catch the smile
There's no doubt it's from you
And I'm addicted to it now
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go (like chocolate)
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go
Just one look, boy, to melt me down
Just one heart here to save me now
Your candy kisses are sweet, I know
Hold me tight, baby, don't let go

If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
In a heart shape come around me
And then melt me slowly down
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down
Like chocolate

Billie Eilish - CHIHIRO (Official Music Video)


Billie Eilish's "CHIHIRO" is a visually stunning and emotionally charged track that delves into themes of identity and self-exploration. With her unique sound and captivating visuals, Eilish invites listeners on a journey of introspection, making this song a standout in her discography.

Lyrics:
To take my love away
When I come back around, will I know what to say?
Said you won't forget my name
Not today, not tomorrow

Kinda strange, feelin' sorrow
I got change (yup), you could borrow (borrow)
When I come back around, will I know what to say? (Come back around)
Not today, maybe tomorrow

Open up the door, can you open up the door?
I know you said before you can't cope with anymore
You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store
I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?

Did you take
My love away
From me?
Me
Me

Saw your seat at the counter when I looked away
Saw you turn around, but it wasn't your face
Said, "I need to be alone now, I'm takin' a break"
How come when I returned, you were gone away?

I don't, I don't know why I called
I don't know you at all
I don't know you
Not at all
I don't, I don't know why I called
I don't know you at all
I don't know you

Did you take
My love away
From me?
Me

And that's when you found me
I was waitin' in the garden
Contemplatin', beg your pardon
But there's a part of me that recognizes you
Do you feel it too?

When you told me it was serious
Were you serious? Mm
They told me they were only curious
Now it's serious, mm

Open up the door, can you open up the door?
I know you said before you can't cope with anymore
You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store
I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?

Wringing my hands in my lap
And you tell me it's all been a trap
And you don't know if you'll make it back
I say, "No, don't say that"

(Wringing my hands in my lap)
(Tell me it's all been a trap)
(Don't know if you'll make it back)
(I say, "No, don't say that")
(Wringing my hands in my lap)
(Tell me it's all been a trap)
(You don't know if you'll make it back)
(No, don't say that)

GOOD GOD!! They should not have paid.

Walmart agreed to a settlement with New York officials after it shipped toy guns to the state.

Authorities determined the world’s largest retailer facilitated the sale of realistic-looking toy guns to residents in violation of state law, an announcement said Tuesday. An investigation conducted by New York’s Office for Attorney General found that third-party vendors on Walmart’s online platform sold the imitation firearms.

Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER (Official Music Video)


Billie Eilish's "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" is a captivating track that explores themes of connection and individuality. With her signature ethereal sound and introspective lyrics, Eilish invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of relationships and the beauty of being true to oneself.

Lyrics:
('Til I'm in the grave)

I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry

If you go, I'm going too, uh
'Cause it was always you, alright
And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better

And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die

I want you to see, hm
How you look to me, hm
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You would keep the compliments I throw ya

But you're so full of shit, uh
Tell me it's a bit, no
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid

And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long, but baby, I
Don't wanna say goodbye

Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('til the day that I die)
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('til the light leaves my eyes)
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('til the day I die)
But if it's forever, it's even better

I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you, don't act so surprised

With its smooth harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, this classic track continues to resonate with listeners, showcasing the group's exceptional songwriting and vocal talent.

Lyrics:
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Na na na, na na

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be

Right-wing Polish presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki has won the election boosting the influence of pro-Trump groups in the region.

Nawrocki's win is a setback for advocates of reproductive and LGBTQ rights due to his veto power and alignment with the Law and Justice (PiS) party.

Nawrocki's victory is unlikely to change Poland's aggressive stance on defense spending, which is already approaching 5% of GDP.

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black


Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" is a soulful and haunting track that delves into themes of heartbreak and despair. With her distinctive voice and poignant lyrics, Winehouse captures the raw emotions of loss and longing, making this song a powerful reflection of her artistry.

Lyrics:
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew
So far removed
From all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny
Rollin' up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black
Black, black
Black, black
Black
I go back to
I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

The EU is preparing for trade talks with the US and has warned of retaliatory tariffs if Trump follows through on his tariff threats, including a 50% levy on steel and aluminum imports.

The EU has approved tariffs on €21 billion of US goods and is preparing an additional list of tariffs on €95 billion of American products.

The deadline for reaching a mutually acceptable solution is July 9, after which the EU may implement tariffs on July 14 or earlier.

Yo, this one here goes out to all my players out there, man
Ya know, that got that one good girl, Lord
That's always been there, man
Like, took all the bullshit
But then one day, she can't take it no more and decide to leave

Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
Coulda sworn I was dreamin' for her
I was feenin' so I had to take a little ride
Backtracking over these few years
Tryin' ta figure out what I do to make it go bad
'Cause ever since my girl left me
My whole life came crashing and I'm so

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

Can't believe I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right outta my life
After all I put you through
You still stuck around and stayed by my side
What really hurt me is I broke your heart
Baby, you're a good girl and I had no right
I really wanna make things right
'Cause without you in my life girl, I'm so

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

Been all about the world, ain't never met a girl
That can take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come where you'd get up and run
And I would be out chasing you
'Cause ain't nowhere in the globe I'd rather be
Ain't no one in the globe I'd rather see
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy but now so lonely

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

Never thought that I'd be alone
I didn't think you'd be gone this long
I just want you to call my phone
So stop playing girl and come on home
Baby girl, I didn't mean to shout
I want me and you to work it out
I never wished to ever hurt my baby
And it's drivin' me crazy 'cause I'm so

Lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely

So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
Mr. Lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely
Mr. Lonely

At My Privacy DNS, we're committed to bringing you exceptional content while ensuring your online experience remains private and secure. Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is a timeless masterpiece, and we're proud to share it on a platform that values your digital rights. Thank you for being a part of our privacy-focused community.

Lyrics:
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you, now I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared

(You're gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had met me)
Remind me of us (tears are gonna fall)
They keep me thinking (rolling in the deep)
That we almost had it all (you're gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had met me)
They leave me breathless (tears are gonna fall)
I can't help feeling (rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
But you played it, you played it, you played it
You played it to the beat

Scripture Reading
Romans 8:14-17

Everyone moved by the Spirit is a son of God. The spirit you received is not the spirit of slaves bringing fear into your lives again; it is the spirit of sons, and it makes us cry out, ‘Abba, Father!’ The Spirit himself and our spirit bear united witness that we are children of God. And if we are children we are heirs as well: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, sharing his sufferings so as to share his glory.

AC⧸DC - Thunderstruck (Official Video)


About the The Razor's Edge:
AC/DC cracked the seal on the '90s with one of the best riffs of their career. That would be "Thunderstruck," the opening track on The Razors Edge. In addition to "Thunderstruck," the band brought out "Moneytalks," probably the closest they ever came to writing a pop song. Then there was "Are You Ready" - one of their fiercest calls to action. The gritty edge and booming chants on this album were a welcome reminder for a new generation that pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll was alive and well.

Lyrics:

[Intro]Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah
Thunder, ah

[Verse 1]
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)
I looked 'round
And I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought, what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (Thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart


[Chorus]You've been - thunderstruck

[Verse 2]
Went down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas
Yeah, Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah-yeah, they, they, they blew our minds

[Pre-Chorus]
I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please?
Yeah, the ladies were too kind


[Chorus]You've been - thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah-yeah-yeah, thunderstruck
Oh, thunderstruck
Yeah

[Bridge 1]
I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please?
Yow

[Solo]
[Chorus]Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah-yeah-yeah, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said

[Bridge 2]
Yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine
Yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine, so fine


[Chorus]Thunderstruck, yeah-yeah-yeah
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Whoa, baby, baby (Thunderstruck)
You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck
