LYRICS:

"If you could wish upon a star,
What would it be?
Would you drive the prince's car?
Or take the captain's ship to sea?

Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
Is a magical land for both of you and me,
Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
We will dive into a world of dazzling fantasy,

Would you wish for a fish, or your favourite dish?
Eat a lot of meat, or call your best friend Pete?
Stand in a land with a castle made of sand?
Or dance in France with ants in your pants?

Would you sing, would you run?
Would you skip, would you hop?
Would you fly high? OH MY!
These extraordinary things.....
Are sure to please...

Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
Is a magical land for both of you and me,
Hip Hop, Hip Hop Fairytales,
We will dive into a world of dazzling fantasy."

(As cited on Wikipedia)
"National Day (Arabic: يوم استقلال الإمارات العربية المتحدة‎) is celebrated on 2 December each year in the United Arab Emirates. It marks the UAE's formal independence from the United Kingdom and the eventual unification of the seven emirates in 1971 which combined to form the modern-day country. The union became independent on 2nd December 1971.

On 2 December 1971, all emirates except for Ras Al Khaima, united as a country at the suggestion of H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, H.H. Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and his other brothers, the rulers of other emirates. Ras Al Khaima joined later as a part of the country. Qatar and Bahrain were also suggested to be a part of the country but they declined the idea.

People celebrate this day with flags and drawings on their faces. They also go on streets and celebrate this day with decorated cars. The locals also do a "Maseera", in which people go on the road and drive around the Emirate in celebration with music, poems, and many, many flags.

Many Schools in the UAE celebrate National Day by holding an event in school where kids will dress up in the Cultural "thoub" and "kandoora" and perform the "youlah" and dance the cultural dance."

Strauss, John Williams, James Newton-Howard, Wagner, Debussy, Patrick Doyle, Shostakovich, Vaughan Williams, Bill Conti, Sibelius, Elgar, Klaus Badelt, Michael Giacchino, Aerosmith, Elliot Goldenthal, Harry Gregson-Williams, James Horner, Def Leppard, Michael Kamen, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Christopher Young, Gabriel Yared, Bon Jovi, Debbie Wiseman, Shirley Walker, Brian Tyler, Alan Silvestri, Howard Shore, The Beach Boys, Marc Shaiman, Wishbone Ash, Graeme Revell, John Powell, Mozart, Rachel Portman, Michael Nyman...... and many more!
