1) Préscillia Betti, known by the stage name Priscilla, is a French singer, dancer and actress. She released her first single at the age of 12, and has released five albums. In 2008–2011 she played the main part in the French musical TV series Chante!.
Priscilla was born on August 2, 1989 in La Trinité near Nice, France. She was 11 years old when the show "Les drôles de petits champions" aired, and was discovered by the producer Patrick Debord (MGM). She signed with Jive records, the same record house as her idol, Britney Spears and later that year recorded her first single "Quand Je Serai Jeune".
In 2003, she acted in a film directed by Hervé Palud entitled Albert est méchant with Christian Clavier and Michel Serrault.
After having consistent classical schooling up until the end of 8th grade, she decided to not enter secondary school, preferring to take correspondence courses so that she could better concentrate on her artistic career.
Priscilla has released four albums: "Cette vie nouvelle" in 2001, "Priscilla" in 2003, "Une fille comme moi" in 2004, and "Bric à brac" in 2005.
Her song "Cette Vie Nouvelle" is a French rendition of the song "What a Feeling" from the hit movie "Flashdance". In 2006 she was asked by Disney to sing the French version of "Call me, Beep Me", the theme song for the popular carton Kim Possible.
2) Priscilla is an American glam metal band from from Cleveland, Ohio.
Picture a slightly heavier version of glam legends Poison and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what Priscilla is all about. It was the late ’80s when Priscilla made waves with their “Wake Up the Neighborhood” single, followed by opening slots for Pretty Boy Floyd and Hericane Alice.

4) Priscilla Coolidge (1941 – October 2, 2014) was an American recording artist and the sister of acclaimed vocalist Rita Coolidge, Priscilla was an artist in her own right. While she never saw the success her sister did, she made an album deserving of any collection. Her 1970 debut Gypsy Queen is a bewitching dose of sweltering blues, stirring soul, and blistering rock all wrapped in her desperate, throaty croon.
5) Priscilla Alcantara Silva Fonseca, (Itapecerica da Serra, 19 de Junho de 1996) é uma apresentadora de televisão e cantora brasileira. Em 2023 optou pelo "PRISCILLA" como nome artístico.

Priscilla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Todo mundo tem pereba
Marca de bexiga ou vacina
E tem piriri, tem lombriga, tem ameba
Só a bailarina que não tem
E não tem coceira
Verruga nem frieira
Nem falta de maneira
Futucando bem
Todo mundo tem piolho
Ou tem cheiro de creolina
Todo mundo tem um irmão meio zarolho
Só a bailarina que não tem
Nem unha encardida
Nem dente com comida
Nem casca de ferida
Ela não tem
Não livra ninguém
Todo mundo tem remela
Quando acorda às seis da matina
Teve escarlatina
Ou tem febre amarela
Só a bailarina que não tem
Medo de subir, gente
Medo de cair, gente
Medo de vertigem
Quem não tem
Confessando bem
Todo mundo faz pecado
Logo assim que a missa termina
Todo mundo tem um primeiro namorado
Só a bailarina que não tem
Sujo atrás da orelha
Bigode de groselha
Calcinha um pouco velha
Ela não tem
O padre também
Pode até ficar vermelho
Se o vento levanta a batina
Reparando bem, todo mundo tem pentelho*
Só a bailarina que não tem
Sala sem mobília
Goteira na vasilha
Problema na família
Quem não tem
Procurando bem
Todo mundo tem...
In "Ciranda da Bailarina," Priscilla celebrates the perfection and grace of the titular ballerina, highlighting the many imperfections and flaws that the rest of us suffer from. The song's lyrics are simple but poignant, drawing attention to familiar childhood ailments such as chickenpox, worms, and lice, as well as more embarrassing concerns like body odor and dirty ears. Priscilla makes the point that even the seemingly perfect among us have their faults, but the ballerina stands apart, unblemished by common maladies and human frailties.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, but one of the main themes it touches on is the idealization of beauty and perfection in society. Whether through magazine covers or social media, we are bombarded with images of flawlessness that can make us feel inadequate and imperfect. However, Priscilla's song reminds us that nobody is perfect, and that our imperfections are what make us unique and human. The ballerina may be a fictional character, but she represents the idea of beauty and grace, which goes beyond physical looks and innate talent.
Interestingly, "Ciranda da Bailarina" was originally written in 1968 by Chico Buarque for the children's play "Gota d'Água," but it became a hit many years later when Priscilla recorded it for a children's TV show in the 1980s. The song's catchy melody and simple lyrics have made it a favorite of children and adults alike, and it has been covered by many artists over the years.
