Dhanashree
Dhanashree is an Indian classical raga that appears in the Sikh tradition from northern India and is part of the Guru Granth Sahib.
Raga Dhanashree appears in the Ragmala as a ragini of Malkauns and currently is a member of the Kafi thaat. It closely resembles Bhimpalasi in musical content but the vadis and moods are different. Dhanashree is performed in the early afternoon and presents a cheerful, happy mood. It provided the setting for hymns by Guru Nanak, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan and Guru Tegh Bahadar for a total of 101 hymns.
The following represents the order of notes that can be used on the ascending and descending phase of the composition and the primary and secondary notes:
Pa is given considerable emphasis and Ni and Pa receive sliding approaches, a characteristic of this raga. The pentatonic ascent provides some of the melodic features of this raga.

Countdown
by: DanseroDriving down your street
At one twenty miles or so
I know just where to go
I'm standing outside of your door
So lost in love
And there is so little time
I've got to have you here right with me
Or I'm going out of my mind
(Chorus)
I Countdown the time
I Countdown the time till you're mine
I Countdown the time
I Countdown the time till you're mine
Oh for a taste of your love and your lips
Such forbidden desire
I can't get much higher
Or try to explain
So lost in love
And there is so little time
I've got to have you here right with me
Or I'm going out of my mind
(Chorus)
Countdown, baby coming down your street
I'll knock down all your suitors that I meet
Countdown, baby there's no need to fear
