<… Read Full Bio ↴There are 4 bands with the name ATC/A Touch of Class/Above the Clouds.
1) ATC, meaning A Touch of Class (the group's previous name), is a pop band based in Germany, although the four members each come from different countries — Joe from New Zealand, Sarah from Australia, Tracey from England, and Livio from Italy. All four members were performers in the German production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats" in Hamburg when they met. Before the release of their second album the band had to drop the use of the abbreviation of their band name due to a legal dispute.
They broke into the mainstream with their electronica crossover hit single "Around the World (La La La La La)" (a cover of Ruki Vverkh's "Pesenka") off their debut album Planet Pop (February 6, 2001) under Sony BMG Music Entertainment. "Around the World" has received massive radio play world-wide, but the rest of the album was generally considered lacking by critics. In 2000 they won an ECHO for Best Dance Act. Since then, they have produced a second album, Touch The Sky (2003).
After flopping with their second album BMG dropped ATC in May 2003. The band spoke about a break for 2-3 years to change their music, but now there is no sign of a comeback as each member has resumed his or her "normal" life again.
2) A Touch of Class, a 5 member Jazz Combo
Based in the Niagara Region and directed by Craig Inglis, A Touch of Class plays music ranging from the post World War I
"Tin Pan Alley", to the romantic ballads and Swing tunes of the 30's and 40's Big Band era, and Classic Rock of the 60's & 70's.
The Band includes: Alto Sax - Channing Julien, Tenor Sax - Lucas Durand, Baritone Sax - Talek Julian, Bass - Liv Shaw, and Percussionist - Adam Slinn
3) ATC (Above the Clouds) Swedish heavy metal group formed in 1978, in Stockholm. They released the only album in their career, Cut in Ice. After this... they split up. Last known line-up of them is:
H. Spider Soder -vocals
Mappe Bjorkman - guitars
Tommy Denander -guitars
Anders Gustafsson - bass
Per Liljefors - drums
4) A.T.C. is a rap group from San Francisco, CA.

ATC Lyrics

I let it in my eyes - like an exotic drink
The radio playing songs - that I have never heard
I don't know what to say - oh, not another word
Just la la la la la - it goes around the world
Just la la la la la - it's all around the world
Just la la la la la - and everybody's singing
La la la la la la - and now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
Inside an empty room - my inspiration flows
Now wait to hear the tune - around my head it goes
A magic melody - you want to sing with me
Just la la la la la - the music is the key
And now the light is gone - still it goes on and on
So deep inside of me - I long to set it free
I don't know what to do - just can't explain to you
I don't know what to say - oh, not another word
Just la la la la la - it goes around the world
Just la la la la la - it's all around the world
Just la la la la la - and everybody's singing
La la la la la - and now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - it goes around the world
Just la la la la la - it's all around the world
Just la la la la la - and everybody's singing
La la la la la - and now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
The lyrics to ATC’s song “Around the World” are about the power of music and how it transcends language and culture. The first verse sets the scene of a beautiful day with the sun shining and unfamiliar music playing on the radio. The singer is so enamored with the moment that they can only express themselves through la la’s. The chorus repeats that sentiment, with the phrase “la la la la” expressing the universality of music.
The second verse takes place in an empty room where the singer is trying to create their own music. They come up with a “magic melody” that they want everyone to sing along to. Even when the light goes out, the music still echoes in their head. They express their frustration at not being able to properly explain their feelings, but once again, the “la la’s” come to the rescue as a universal language.
Overall, the song is a tribute to the power of music to bring people together, regardless of language or culture. It’s a joyful celebration of the simple pleasure of listening to music and the even greater pleasure of creating it.

The kisses of the sun - were sweet I didn't blink
I absorbed the warmth of the sun and didn't shy away from its brightness
I let it in my eyes - like an exotic drink
I allowed the sun's rays to mingle with my vision & fill me like an exotic beverage
The radio playing songs - that I have never heard
The radio was airing melodies I hadn't experienced before
I don't know what to say - oh, not another word
I am at a loss for words and can't come up with anything to say
Just la la la la la - it goes around the world
The simple 'la la la' tune has become an international phenomena
Inside an empty room - my inspiration flows
My creative juices flow inside a blank space
Now wait to hear the tune - around my head it goes
The tune lingers around my mind and I anticipate listening to it
A magic melody - you want to sing with me
This mystical melody is something you too feel like singing along to
Just la la la la la - the music is the key
It's the melody that's enchanting, even without the lyrics
And now the light is gone - still it goes on and on
The melody persists even after the light has faded away
So deep inside of me - I long to set it free
Such is the impact of the melody that it seeks to be released from the depths of my soul
I don't know what to do - just can't explain to you
It's hard to describe what the melody makes me feel and how to handle it
La la la la la - it goes around the world (x8)
The pleasant 'la la la' tune continues to spread across the world
