Pliers
Pliers are a hand tool used to hold objects firmly, possibly developed from tongs used to handle hot metal in Bronze Age Europe. They are also useful for bending and compressing a wide range of materials. Generally, pliers consist of a pair of metal first-class levers joined at a fulcrum positioned closer to one end of the levers, creating short jaws on one side of the fulcrum, and longer handles on the other side. This arrangement creates a mechanical advantage, allowing the force of the hand's grip to be amplified and focused on an object with precision. The jaws can also be used to manipulate objects too small or unwieldy to be manipulated with the fingers.
Pincers are a similar tool with a different type of head used for cutting and pulling, rather than squeezing. Tools designed for safely handling hot objects are usually called tongs. Special tools for making crimp connections in electrical and electronic applications are often called "crimping pliers"; each type of connection uses its own dedicated tool.
Pliers (singer)
Pliers (born Everton Bonner on 4 April 1963, Kingston, Jamaica), is a Jamaican Reggae singer best known for his collaborations with deejay Chaka Demus under the name Chaka Demus & Pliers. He is one of the Bonner brothers all of whom are reggae artists, including, Richie Spice and Spanner Banner.
Pliers started his career performing under the name 'Blues Melody', acquiring his more famous moniker due to an apparent similarity to fellow singer Pinchers.
He had a number of early hits, working for producers such as Coxone Dodd and Winston Riley, but never achieved huge success as a solo artist, in contrast to the immense success of his partnership with Chaka Demus.
His solo song "Bam Bam" was featured on the fictional radio station K-Jah West in the soundtrack to the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Recently
by: PolarisRecently (x4)
I acted cool, I asked around,
But you could not be seen,
I was desperate, indifferent,
To put everyone on call,
You walked in, I clicked on,
You could not refuse,
It has to be, and we know it now,
So get the rocket, light the fuse,
'Cause recently I kissed you,
it's like a dream come true,
And recently you're likin' me and I'm really likin' you,
Never apart, we go around,
Siamese in crazy love,
I learn your quirks, and call your world,
What did I do before you?
Because recently I need to be with you all the time,
Recently some jealousy has crept into my mind,
Recently I noticed that it's weird to be alone,
Recently my friends, they never call me anymore,
Recently I'm happier being by myself,
