Jet - Cold Hard Bitch

Otro lunes más...otro buen tema para empezar la semana.

Desde casi los inicios de este blog que no ponía nada de esta banda. No es que haya prodigado mucho sus escuchas, pero este tema me encanta porque es como una mezcolanza de influencias varias. Bebe directamente del rock más clásico y de los más grandes...a de pronto me suena a ACDC...a Black Crowes y a más...¿A que os suena a vosotros? Pertenece a su Get Born y fue single allá en el 2004, vaya hace cuatro días como quien dice...

como dice en el tema....estoy esperando....(a que se acabe la semana...)



"Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it

Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
That's all that I need

Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang around
Wanna get a reaction

Gonna take her home cause she's over romancing
Don't wanna hold hands and talk about her plans alright!

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
And I that was all that I need
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees

Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
And I was all that I need
I'm waiting give me
Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees"

Farmacia de Guardia-Ella es demoledora

Hoy un tema español de los ochenta...

Con lo defensor que he sido yo siempre de la música hecha en el idioma patrio y resulta que dedico todos los sábados sobre los ochenta a música hecha en el extranjero. Por eso, hoy repasando canciones de esa época dorada, me acorde de este tema de Farmacia de Guardia que aún no había pasado por aquí. Son un grupo murciano de esta década, que tuvieron us días de gloria con temas como este o Cazadora de Cuero. Las letras en la distancai nos chican, pero yo les tengo cariño, ya que forman parte de mi infancia...

Ay! con las demoledoras....




"Hay algo en su forma de andar
por las calles de la puta ciudad
voy corriendo hacia ese local me obsesiona su mirada al pasar

1. Porque ella (ella es) demoledora Porque ella (ella es) demoledora (x2)

2. Ella sabe reír, aun sin tener porvenir (x2)

Solo hay que verla venir
¡Hey amigo! empieza a vivir
en la cama si que sabe estar
no te asuste lo que pueda pasar

Repetir 1

Todo en ella esta bien, de la cabeza a los pies (x2)

La ciudad parece que va a estallar
cuando voy con ella a bailar
otra copa yo voy a beber
no hay desperdicio en su forma de ser

Repetir 1 y 2."

The Lost Fingers - Billie Jean

Versionando que es gerundio....

Me parece buena idea eso de dedicar los viernes a las re-creaciones musicales de algunos temas . En este apartado de grupos que versionan y hacen verdaderas maravillas con los mismos estan esta banda que, a mi personalmente, me encanta. Como ya comenté en otras ocasiones, lo descubrí en un anuncio cnatando aquel Pump up the Jam de los Technotronic. Y su disco dedicado a los ochenta es una experiencia única. Hoy os propongo la escucha de este Billie Jean del rey del Pop. Las canciones versioandas no hay que juzgarlas si se hacen buenas, si lo que consigues es darles la vuelat e interpretarlas de forma creativa y original. Y creo que esta premisa desde la que me manejo, los "dedos perdidos" la cumplen de sobra.

Disfrutadala....por cierto, si os aburris, pinchad en el siguiente enlace y vereis que es destrozar una canción, intentando versionarla...(estuve por ponerla en una sección de humor, porque es de partirse) y eso que el pavo que la canta defiende los derechos de autor...serán los suyos!!!



"She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is"

The Killers - Spaceman

Hoy nos vamos al espacio...

Mira que s un tema recurrente en las canciones, así de pronto se me ocurren las dos o tres que hizo Bowie, Serenade from the Stars de Steve Miller Band versionada por los Mclan luego y otras tantas que hablasn de las estrellas y demás astros.

Esta de The Killers es muy famosa, sobre todo por ese comienzo Oh oH Oh oHoHoH...Pertenece a su álbum Day & Age y lo cierto es que suena bastante bien. No es una banda que me acabe de convencer, pero el otro día al volver a escuchar este disco me dije...tengo que darle otra oportunidad. Redimiendome ..os los pongo de nuevo

Di alguno se apunta a una expedición espacial para el próximo puente, me avise. No os creais que hará buen tiempo, anuncian lluvia de meteoritos.



"It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this starcrossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess I changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
Cause they calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregarding the bombs and satellites

That was the turning point
That was one lonely night

The starmaker says it ain't so bad
The dreammaker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says everybody look down!
It's all in your mind

Now I'm back at home and
I’m looking forward to this life I live
You know it's going to harm me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap

And you know I'm fine,
but I hear those voices at night sometimes,
they justify my claim
And the public don’t dwell on my transmission
Cause It wasn’t televised

But it was the turning point
O what a lonely night

The starmaker says it ain't so bad
The dreammaker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says everybody look down!
It's all in your mind

The starmaker says it ain't so bad
The dreammakers's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says everybody look down!
It's all in your mind

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They said the nile used to run from east to west
They said the nile used to run
from east to west

I'm fine,
but I hear those voices at night
Sometimes…

The starmaker says it ain't so bad
The dreammaker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says everybody look down!
It's all in your mind

The starmaker says it ain't so bad
The dreammaker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says everybody look down!
It's all in your mind

It's all in my mind."

Sweet - Ballroom blitz

Clasicazo rockero para este miércoles lunero donde los haya...

Y es que la semana para algunos se acorta, y cuanto más corta más pereza y menos ganas de ponerle empeño, total...si en dos días otra vez fin de semana.

Repasando un recopilatorio con temas que aparecían en la serie Life on Mars, la cual recomiendo, me apareció este tema de esta banda britanica tan glamurosa, de hecho fue de las primeras en hacer el Glam rock que tan de moda se pondría después. Estamos en el año 1973. No suena nada mal.

Fijaos...y mañana jueves!



"Are you ready, Steve? Aha.
Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.
Alright, fellas, let's go!

Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, aha
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing

Refrain

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Refrain

It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz, yeah, it's a ballroom blitz "

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge

Estoy bajo el puente...o de puente

Ya, ya...una traducción un poco libre, pero aprovechar el tema así y ponerlo no se puede hacer todos los días...No me he marchado a ningun sitio y aprovecho el puente para cobijarme de la lluvia y el mal tiempo. Tiempo de descanso y setas.

Nunca fui mucho de esta banda. Quizá la culpa la tenga un compañero que cantaba el tema Give it away como si le dieran espasmos. Y de así qeu opte por no hacer audición de los mismos por si acaso era algo colateral a su escucha. A día de hoy, se que su forma de desafinar y moverse como si una descarga multivoltaica le atizase era algo congenito...pero por si acaso, sólo me pongo temas suaves como este.

Esta banda de funk rock, con toques rap y del ámbito alñternativo, tuvo su mayor auge en los noventa con temas como este. Como ya sabeis es una decada perdida para mi, seguro que podeis recomendar mejor que yo cosas de este grupo.

Hoy no hay rock lunero, guardo la energia para el miércoleslunes...





"Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away."

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough

Un gran hit de los ochenta...actualizado en su última gira

Sin ser gran fan de esta banda, ya que como sabeis no soy mucho de música electrónica, hay temas que te gustan, bien por su calidad, bien porque has crecido con ellos, bien porque te traen recuerdos. Este es uno de ellos.Este fue uno de sus singles de presentación del primer álbum de la banda "Speak & Spell", allá en 1981.Inconfundible el riff de sintetizador desde el comienzo del tema. Como habalmos de versiones estos días, es curiosa la que hacen de la canción el grupo Nouvelle Vague, grupo que por otra parte vuelvo a recomendar, desde mi humilde rinconcito.

Pasad un buen día...pasado por agua!


"When I’m with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can’t seem to get enough

We walk together, we’re walking down the street
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

It’s getting hotter, it’s our burning love
And I just can’t seem to get enough

And when it rains, you’re shining down for me
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

You’re like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can’t seem to get enough"
