  • 0:22 - 0:23
    Gloria
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    You're always on the run now
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    Running after somebody
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    You gotta get him somehow
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    I think you've got to slow down
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    Before you start to blow it
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    I think you're headed for a breakdown
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    So be careful not to show it
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    You really don't remember
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    Was it something that he said?
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    All the voices in your head
  • 1:01 - 1:06
    Calling, Gloria?
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    Gloria
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    Don't you think you're fallin'?
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    If everybody wants you
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    Why isn't anybody callin'?
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    You don't have to answer
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    Leave them hangin' on the line
  • 1:25 - 1:31
    Oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    Gloria (Gloria)
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    I think they got your number (Gloria)
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    I think they got the alias (Gloria)
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    That you've been living under (Gloria)
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    But you really don't remember
  • 1:48 - 1:52
    Was it something that they said?
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    All the voices in your head
  • 1:56 - 2:01
    Calling, Gloria?
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria
  • 2:18 - 2:21
    How's it gonna go down?
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    Will you meet him on the main line?
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    Or will you catch him on the rebound?
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    Will you marry for the money?
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    Take a lover in the afternoon?
  • 2:36 - 2:40
    Feel your innocence slipping away
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    Don't believe it's comin' back soon
  • 2:43 - 2:47
    And you really don't remember
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    Was it something that he said?
  • 2:50 - 2:53
    All the voices in your head
  • 2:54 - 2:59
    Calling, Gloria?
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    Gloria (Gloria)
  • 3:02 - 3:06
    I think they got your number (Gloria)
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    I think they got the alias (Gloria)
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    That you've been living under (Gloria)
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    But you really don't remember
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    Was it something that they said?
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    Are the voices in your head
  • 3:24 - 3:28
    Calling, Gloria?
  • 3:29 - 3:42

Title:
Gloria - Tribute to Laura Branigan (1957-2004)
Description:

This "Gloria" music video is a tribute to Laura Branigan, a four-time Grammy Award nominee, who died at the age of 47 from cerebral aneurysm in August 2004. Branigan's high-octane remake of Gloria (lyrics by Trevor Veitch) was a top disco hit of the 1980s. It stayed on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 36 weeks, a record for a solo female artist at the time.

Gloria was in Branigan's words "a character study of a girl that's running too fast for her own steps." The song appeared in the 1983 movie Flashdance (starring Jennifer Beals & Michael Nouri) but was not included in its soundtrack album. The original version of Gloria is a 1979 Italian pop song written and composed by Umberto Tozzi and Giancarlo Bigazzi.
