"Maharaja Night" is a song by Gino Caria, released under the alias Lou Grant. It was initially released on a 12-inch single in Italy in 1994 by Time Records. The song made its first album appearance on NRG Express 1995 3 on February 21, 1995, which was a promotional album released by Avex Trax in Japan. Additionally, the song was also featured on the ParaPara video パラパラ教典 (ParaPara Kyōten) on December 16, 1994, on VHS, also by Avex Trax. "Maharaja Night" was written by Sergio Dall'Ora and produced by Giacomo Maiolini and Dall'Ora. In 1994, two remixes of the song were made, one by T.Y.M. (麻布十番 Mix, Azabujūban Mix), and another by Y&Co. (横浜 Mix, Yokohama Mix), both of which were released on a 12-inch vinyl by Avex Trax in Japan.
On June 21, 2006, the song was self-covered by the Lou Grant alias, reusing Caria's vocals, under the new title "Maharaja Night 2006".
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
TOKYO!
OSAKA!
NAGASAKI!
NAGOYA!
KYOTO!
[Verse 1]
Everything is right
If your body is moving around the sound that light
Makes you move by your side
King and Queen to dance
With this energy romance, tonight so high
Come on open your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
If you have something in your brain (baby)
If you're singing in the rain
Like a movie in black and white
Fly with me, in extasy
[Chorus]
It's all right (All right)
Dancing in Maharaja Night
(Maharaja, Maharaja)
Woh-oh-oh
It's so fine (So fine)
Energy for all the time
(For all the time)
It's okay (Okay)
Dancing in Maharaja Night
(Maharaja, Maharaja)
Woh-oh-oh
It's my life (My life)
Energy for all the time
(For all the time)
Woh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Get into the beat
Come on baby don't be seat
Tonight is right, is a Maharaja Night
Looking for a sound
Mr. D.J. please don't stop your mix around
Eh! Man pump up the ground
