The Ronettes - Be My Baby

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go
So won't you please

(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh

I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
Till eternity
So won't you please

(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

[INSTRUMENTAL]

So come on and please
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh

(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
(Be my be my baby) Oh-oh-oh, oohh...
(I want it only say) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooohh...

"Be My Baby", otro "archiconocidísimo" tema, que también pertenece a "The Ronettes", y que va junto a la apertura de una no tan famosa (pero no por eso mala) película de Martin Scorsese, llamada "Mean Streets".

Aretha Franklin - I Say a Little Prayer for You

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only meen heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I'm in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

Aretha Franklin, cantante de "Soul" Norteamericana, conocida como "Lady Soul" o "Queen of Soul", es para muchos una de las cantantes más influyentes de la música contemporanea, y ya en los 60, se había consolidado como estrella femenina del soul, influyendo en muchos artistas, entre ellos Whitney Houston y Janis Joplin...

...el temazo, ya archiconocido, pertenece también a la banda sonora de "My Best Friend's Wedding".

Sammy Hagar - I can`t drive 55

One foot on the brake and one on the gas
Well there's too much traffic and I can't pass No
So I try my best illegal move
A big black-and-white come an' touch my groove again

CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55

It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.

CHORUS:

Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55
No No No I can't drive I CAN'T DRIVE 55
I can't drive I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55

Samuel Roy Hagar, más conocido como Sammy Hagar, es un famoso cantante, guitarrista, y compositor de Rock Norteamericano. Entre otras bandas perteneció a Van Halen entre los años 1985 y 1996.

Años antes, en el transcurso de su carrera como solista, creó la mencionada canción "I Can`t Drive 55", que nace como protesta a la limitación federal de no poder conducir en autopistas a más de 55 millas por hora (88 Kms/h). Ley que tiempo más tarde sería modificada y finalmente abolida.

La canción pertenece además, a la banda sonora del PELICULÓN, "Volver al Futuro Parte 2", y como es de cabezona aquella historia, se hace coincidente con los 88 Kms/h...

...ojo con el look de Hagar en el video, esta NOTABLE...!!!

The Kingsmen - Louie, Louie

CHORUS:

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!

"Louie, Louie", fue compuesta y escrita por Richard Berry, un cantante y compositor de Rock & Roll negro, nacido el 11 de Abril de 1935, en Nueva Orleand, USA.

En 1956, la canción fue un éxito total en la costa oeste Americana, y más tarde, producto del cover hecho por "The Kingsmen", esta se hizo conocida a nivel de todo USA.

Se han hecho casi unas 1000 versiones de este tema, y a pesar de que la letra es inofensiva, tambien es dificil de comprender, por lo que se le dieron interpretaciones obscenas, y fue prohibida en distintos estados; hasta fue investigada por el FBI

...llegó a mi gracias al famosito comercial de DirectTV, y también es parte del soundtrack de la película "Coffee and Cigarettes"

The Ronettes - Baby, I Love You

Have i ever told you
how good it feels to hold you
it isn't easy to explain
And though i'm really tryin'
i think i may start cryin'
my heart can't wait an other day
When you kiss me i just gotta
kiss me i just gotta
kiss me i just gotta say :
Baby, i love you
come on baby
baby, i love you
baby i love, i love only you
I can't live without you
i love everything about you
i can't help it if i feel this way
Oh i'm so glad i found you
i want my arms around you
i love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel
tell me that you feel
tell me that you feel the same
Baby, i love you
come on baby
baby, i love you
baby i love, i love only you

Exáctamente, la famosa "Baby, I Love You" de Ramones, en su versión original de "The Ronettes". Este grupo de señoritas Neoyorquinas fueron famosísimas en la década de los 60 y en su formación estaban Veronica Bennett (voz principal) que luego tomaría el nombre de Ronnie Spector, su hermana Estelle Bennet, y su prima Nedra Talley. Se separaron como grupo en 1966 luego de dos shows (en USA y Canadá), donde telonearon a los Beatles

Desde el año 2004, forman parte del salón de la fama de los Grupos Vocales

Nancy Sinatra - Your Groovy Self

Don’t talk to strangers on the bus

You know that could be dangerous

Don’t walk on stick or stones

Don’t answer ringing phones

You know I got to worry

Til you bring your groovy self on home to me



Don’t take up with no alley cats

They really don’t know where it’s at

Don’t fall or trip on things

Stay away from happenings

You know I got to worry

Til you bring your groovy self on home to me



Be careful walking down the street

You never know what you might meet

Don’t change a thing or two

I’m hung up child on you

You know I got to worry

Til you bring your groovy self on home to me



Get your groovy self on home

Me quedo con la performance sexy de Nancy Sinatra, con la escenografía, y con la presencia de Elvis por ahí

...debe tratarse de alguna película del mismo personaje, cuando averigue cual es doy el aviso (aunque no son muy buenas las películas de Presley).

Frank & Nancy Sinatra - Something Stupid

I know I stand in line until you think
You have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two......
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Something stupid like I love you

I can see it in your eyes that you despise
The same old lines you heard the night before......
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true......
And never seemed so right before
I practice everyday to find some clever lines
To say to make the meaning come true......
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head......
The stars get red and on the nights so blue......
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Something stupid like I love you

...traducción:

Mi turno esperaré
hasta que quieras una noche
y me llegues a ver,
si vamos a bailar yo sé que es posible
que no quieras volver.

Tranquilos paseamos y tomamos unas copas
en cualquier lugar...
Y todo lo estropeo con algo estúpido
diciendo yo... Te quiero.

En tus ojos puede verse
que esa frase repetida la desprecias ya.
Tan solo son palabras que al decirlas
yo las siento porque son verdad.

Pensar en cada día con la frase más bonita
que te exprese mi amor
y pienso que en la noche y al decirla
sé que siempre me saldrá mejor.

Me embriaga tu perfume mientras brillan las estrellas
en la noche azul,
y todo lo estropeo con algo estúpido
diciendo yo... Te quiero.

Mamonísimo el tema pero sin embargo me encanta

...detesto la versión de Robie Williams, así que ni la mencionen =S

...SALUDOS.

Elvis Presley - Mystery Train

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train got my baby and gone

Train train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train train, comin' 'round the bend
Well it took my baby, but it never will again (no, not again)

Train train, comin' down, down the line
Train train, comin' down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby, 'cause she's mine all, all mine
(She's mine, all, all mine)

No soy GRAN fanático de Elvis, pero desde la primera vez que escuché esta canción, me encantó

...y la escuché en el disco "Freno de Mano" de Los Tres ...al Álvaro le sale notable la interpretación a lo Presley, jajajajajajjaa

...SALUDOS =)

The Doors - The Crystal Ship

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss
Another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again
We'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry
I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back
I'll drop a line

...traducción:

Antes de que te duermas dentro
de la inconsciencia
Me encantaría tener otro beso
Otra intermitente oportunidad de éxtasis
Otro beso, otro beso.
Los dias son brillantes y llenos de dolor
Encierrame en tu gentil lluvia
Los tiempos que tu corrias
eran demasiado dementes
Nos encontraremos otra vez,
nos encontraremos otra vez.
Oh dime donde tu libertad descansa,
Las calles son campos
que nunca mueren,
Enviame desde razones que
Tu preferias llorar, yo preferia volar.
El barco de cristal esta siendo llenado
Un millar de chicas, un millar de estimulos,
Un millar de maneras para gastar
tu tiempo;
Cuando nosotros regresemos, yo
dejare caer un verso.

Canción cuya letra es casi una "Carta Fúnebre".

Jim Morrison, estudiante de cine y literatura, músico, y poeta.

Caetano Veloso - Capullito de Aleli

Lindo capullito de alelí,
Si tu supieras mi dolor,
Correspondieras a mi amor,
Y calmaras mi sufrir
Porque tu sabes que sin ti
La vida es nada para mi.
Tu bien lo sabes, capullito de alelí.


No hay en el mundo para mi
Otro capullo de alelí
Que yo le brinde mi pasión
Y que le de mi corazón.
Tu solo eres la mujer
A quien he dado mi querer
Y te brindé, lindo alelí
Fidelidad hasta morir


Por eso yo te canto a ti
Lindo capullo de alelí.
Dame tu aroma seductor
Y un poquito de tu amor
Porque tu sabes que sin ti
La vida es nada para mi
Tu bien lo sabes, capullito de alelí.

Caetano Veloso llega hasta sus monitores, gracias a la gentil colaboración de Nathaly, GRACIAS.

...a propósito, notable la intervención sinfónica.

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Billy-ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit hed come along
When they gathered round and started talkin
Thats when billy would take me walkin
A-through the back yard wed go walkin
Then hed look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was

Being good isnt always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin to me
Hed come and tell me everything is all right
Hed kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin kisses from me on the sly
Takin time to make time
Tellin me that hes all mine
Learnin from each others knowing
Lookin to see how much weve grown

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me

Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien, más conocida como Dusty Springfield, fue una cantante Britanica de Pop-Soul nacida en Hampstead, Londres el 16 de Abril de 1939, y que falleció en la misma ciudad el 2 de marzo de 1999.

Gozó de gran popularidad en la década de los 60, representando la corriente más sofisticada y selecta del "Swinging London" (marcado movimiento musical Inglés de ese entonces, al que entre muchas bandas pertenecieron "Los Beatles").

Durante la década de los 70, Springfield se transformó en un ícono de la cultura Lésbica, al reconocer abiertamente su bisexualidad.

Respecto al tema "Son of a Preacher Man", este fue rescatado en 1994 por Quentin Tarantino, para agregarlo a la Banda Sonora de la película "Pulp Fiction" (osea que de ese modo llegó hasta mis oidos).

...que la disfruten =)

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking

You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been a messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be a changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be a playin
and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha!
I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he knows you ain't HAD time to learn.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!
