Silly (song)
"Silly" is a song written by Fritz Baskett, Clarence McDonald and Deniece Williams and performed by Williams. The soulful ballad was released off Williams' My Melody album in 1981 and became the most successful track off the album reaching as high as number fifty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming an even bigger success on the R&B chart where it peaked at number-eleven. It has since gone on to become one of Williams' most requested songs over a career that has spanned over thirty years. The song featured production by Williams and respected Philly soul producer Thom Bell. The song was recorded at Philadelphia's acclaimed Sigma Sound Studios. The song would be later covered by singer Taral Hicks nearly two decades later in 1997 and was released as the second single off Hicks' debut album becoming a hit on the R&B chart.
One of Williams' influences, Patti LaBelle, later recorded the song for her 2005 album, Classic Moments. Singer Monica later sampled the instrumental intro and bridge of the song for her number-one R&B hit, "Everything to Me" and also interpolated Williams' ending high notes at the end of the song. Monica and Williams sang "Everything to Me" and "Silly" respectively together at the BET Awards in 2010. The-Dream also sampled the song for his song "Silly", which featured Casha, on his free mixtape 1977.
Silly (band)
Silly is a German rock band. Founded in East Germany in 1978, Silly was one of the country's most popular music acts, and was well known for its charismatic lead singer Tamara Danz. Her death in 1996 ended the band's recording career after 18 years. In 2005 the surviving members began to perform as Silly again, first with several guest singers, before choosing actress Anna Loos to replace Danz. The first album with the new line-up, Alles Rot, became the band's most successful to date, reaching number 3 on the German charts in 2010.
Band history
The band was founded in East Berlin in 1978 as Familie Silly (The Silly Family) by guitarist Thomas Fritzsching and bassist Mathias Schramm, evolving from Fritzsching's previous band Phönix. They added Familie to the band's name after East German authorities refused to allow Silly by itself, as they saw it as an anglicism; the band claimed that Silly was the name of their mascot, a cat, who behaved in a silly manner.
The early band also consisted of keyboardists Ulrich Mann and Manfred Kusno and drummer Mike Schafmeier. They recruited singer Tamara Danz, the daughter of a diplomat who had previously studied linguistics; she had previously worked as a singer in both the Oktoberklub, a politically charged vocal group, and the Horst-Krüger-Band, a popular progressive rock ensemble.

Delusion
Is what you're stirring up in me Why do we
Why don't we
I thought I felt that this was Meant to be
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
Confusion
Delusion
Is what you're stirring up in me Why do we
Why don't we
I thought I felt that this was Meant to be
On one hand, we are best friends But on the other, wanna get inside
Connection
Rejection
That can wait 'cause I just made up my mind
You don't deserve me
How I can make you feel
Is presently surreal
You just don't deserve me
How I can make you feel, no no
Is presently surreal
Na na na na na, na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na na, na na
Pure beauty
But silly
You should try listening to your heart
Heard nice guys finish last
But this one didn't even get to start
So what is
The problem
What is it you just cannot see
Could it be
That you're silly,
Or maybe it's that the problem lies in me
You don't deserve me
How I can make you feel
Is presently surreal
You just don't deserve me
How I can make you feel, no no
Is presently surreal
You don't deserve me
How I can make you feel
Is presently surreal
You just don't deserve me
How I can make you feel, no no
