1. RPM, or Real Pinoy Music, was a Pinoy Pop idol co-ed group from Viva Records, formed in 2010 and silently disbanded a few years later.
2. RPM (Revoluções por Minuto) was a successful Brazilian rock/new wave band formed in 1983 by Paulo Ricardo (vocals, guitar) and Luiz Schiavon (keyboard) with Fernando Deluqui (guitar) and Charles Gavin (drums). Gavin (formerly of Ira!) soon left to join Titãs and was replaced by Paulo P.A. Pagni. RPM was extremely popular between 1986-87, breaking numerous records in the Brazilian music industry and eventually selling over 3 million albums. Among their mega hits were "Olhar 43," "Louras Geladas" and "Rádio Pirata." RPM officially broke up in 1987, and despite several reunions and a few new releases over the years, it has never regained its former popularity.

RPM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lonely in London, London, is lovely so
I cross the streets without fear
Everybody keeps the way clear
I know I know no one here to say hello
I know they keep the way clear
I am lonely in London without fear
I'm wandering round and round here
While my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
But my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Oh, Sunday, Monday, autumn pass by me
And people hurry on so peacefully
A group approach the policeman
He seems so pleased to please them
It's good to live at least, and I agree
He seemed so pleased at least
And it's so good to live in peace
And Sunday, Monday, years and I agree
While my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
But my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
I choose no face to look at, choose no way
I've just happen to be here and it's okay
Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, god bless
Silent, pain and happiness
I came around to say yes, and I say
Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, god bless
Silent, pain and happiness
I came around to say yes, and I say
While my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
But my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Oh my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Yes my eyes, go looking for flying saucers in the sky
The song "London London" by RPM depicts a sense of being lost and lonely in London, despite the city being "lovely." The singer wanders aimlessly with nowhere to go and with no one to say hello to. He crosses the streets without fear, while everyone clears the way for him. This creates an eerie feeling, as though the singer is invisible, and nobody notices or cares about his presence. Although he is alone, he finds comfort in the fact that he is not afraid.
The second verse talks about the hurry and bustle of the city, and how people go about their day peacefully. It is a reminder that busy cities like London can be peaceful, and that it is good to live in peace. The song leaves interpretation open to the listener, as the lyrics are quite enigmatic. The singer does not choose a particular way or face to look at and just happens to be there, and it is okay.
The song glorifies the simple joys of life by mentioning green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, and offering a blessing from God. There is a sense of pain and happiness, and the singer came around to say yes to life, accepting everything that comes his way.
