Si tienes una guitarra, seguro que alguna vez has tocado (intentado tocar) el solo de esta canción. Y si no tienes guitarra, más de una vez la habrás tarareado.
Como decían los Rolling Stones, es sólo rock'n'roll, pero me gusta.
Whatever you want Whatever you like Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choice Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you loose
You're showing off You're showing out You look for trouble Turn around, give me a shout I take it all You squeeze me dry And now today You couldn't even say goodbye
I could take you home On the midnight train again I could make an offer you can't refuse
Whatever you want Whatever you like Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choice Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you loose
You're showing off You're showing out You look for trouble Turn around, give me a shout I take it all You squeeze me dry And now today You couldn't even say goodbye
I could take you home On the midnight train again I could make an offer you can't refuse
Whatever you want Whatever you like Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choice Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you loose
Eran geniales, los Blues Brothers. Y si no habéis visto la película, os la recomiendo (especialmente si os gusta el blues), "Granujas a Todo Ritmo". Por desgracia, ya es irrepetible.
Ahí va una de sus canciones más conocidas, en la actuación extraida de la propia película: Everybody Needs Somebody (To Love):
Were so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight,and we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois law enforcement community who have chosen to join us in the palace hotel ballroom at this time.
We do sincerely hope youll all enjoy the show, and please remember people, that no matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there still some things that make us all the same: you, me, them, everybody, everybody.
Everybody needs somebody Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love) Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss) Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss) I need you you you I need you you you I need you you you in the morning I need you you you when my souls on fire
Sometimes I feel I feel a little sad inside When my baby mistreats me I never never never have a place to hide I need you
Sometimes I feel I feel a little sad inside When my baby mistreats me I never never never have a place to hide I need you you you I need you you you I need you you you I need you you you I need you
You know people when you do find that somebody Hold that woman, hold that man Love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold her Squeeze and please that person, give em all your love Signify your feelings with every gentle caress Because its so important to have that special somebody To hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please
Everybody needs somebody Everybody needs somebody to love Someone to love Sweetheart to miss Sugar to kiss I need you you you I need you you you I need you you you...
La verdad es que siempre me ha gustado esta canción, es alegre y divertida, y me anima mucho. Seguro que aunque no te suene el título, la has oído alguna vez. No he podido encontrar el vídeo, sólo esta actuación en una televisión holandesa (creo). Eso sí, al menos es la versión maxisingle, más larga y mejor que la que ponen por la radio.
Woke up this morning with my heart on fire Held on to what I'd been dreaming Woke up this morning I had one desire To get back to what I'd been seeing
Heaven, it was heaven,
I have never know any like this, Witnessed anything like this Glowing all over as I started on my feet I thought that I heard somebody calling
Heaven, it was heaven,
Now I know I've seen the light make it go on shining I keep on searching for the way to your heart, try to believe it's getting better, baby, take me all the way to your heart I want you... (ohohohoho)
All as we kisses, all the tenderness That I'm being shared all around it Only remind me of my only stress No loving arms to surround me
Falling, I am falling
You can help me out again being mine forever I keep on searching for the way to your heart, try to believe it's getting better, baby, take me all the way to your heart I want you... (ohohohoho)
You got it, you got it There'll be no doubt about it nobody's going keep me from you - oh I want you, I need you I'll find a way to get through Nobody is going keep me from you - uhuh
Heaven, it was heaven,
Now I know I've seen the light make it go on shining I keep on searching for the way to your heart, try to believe it's getting better, baby, take me all the way to your heart I want you... (ohohohoho)
I keep on searching for the way to your heart, try to believe it's getting better, baby, take me all the way to your heart I want you, I want you... (ohohohoho)
Sin duda, una de las canciones más eléctricas y sensuales de las últimas décadas, los irlandeses U2 con "With or Without You", del disco "The Joshua Tree".
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without you
With or without you With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you
With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
My hands are tied My body bruised, she's got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you
With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you
Una versión en directo, y con el karaoke incorporado:
Todo un clásico, la canción ganadora del Festival de San Remo 1984, la italiana Fiordaliso con "Non voglio mica la luna" (eso sí, el playback es penoso). Os pongo también una versión en castellano, pero no la que cantaba ella misma, sino de Daniela Romo.
Vorrei due ali d’aliante Per volare sempre più distante E una baacca sul fiume Per pulirmi in pace le mie piume Un grande letto sai Di quelli che non si usan più Un giradischi rotto Che funzioni però Quando sono giù un po’.
Non voglio mica la luna Chiedo soltanto di stare Stare in disparte a sognare E non stare a pensare più a te
Non voglio mica la luna Chiedo soltanto un momento Per riscaldarmi la pelle Guardare le stelle E avere più tempo più tempo per me. Con gli occhi pieni di vento Non ci si accorge dov’è il sentimento Tra i nostri rami intrecciati Troppi inverni sono già passati Io vorrei defilarmi per i fatti miei Io saprei riposarmi ma tu Non cercarmi mai più.
Non voglio mica la luna Chiedo soltanto di andare Di andare a fare l’amore Ma senza aspettarlo da te
Non voglio mica la luna Chiedo soltanto un momento Per riscaldarmi la pelle guardare le stelle E avere più tempo più tempo per me
Quiero envolverme en tus brazos que no quede entre tu y yo un espacio naaa ser el sabor de tu boca y llenarme toda con tu aroma naaa ser confidente y saber por dentro quien eres tu naaa como un tatuaje vivo impregnarme en tu ser no borrarme de ti naaa
Yo no te pido la luna tan solo quiero amarte quiero ser esa locura que vibra muy dentro de ti naaa Yo no te pido la luna solo te pido el momento de rescartar esta piel y robarme esa estrella que vemos tu y yo al hacer el amor naaa
Correr en contra el viento conocer todos tus sentimientos naaa los cuerpos entrelazados esperemos todos los inviernos naaa besame y en mis labios hallaras calor naaa sienteme fragil y de papel como tiemblo por ti naaa
Yo no te pido la luna tan solo quiero amarte quiero ser esa locura que vibra muy dentro de ti naaa Yo no te pido la luna solo te pido el momento de rescartar esta piel y robarme esa estrella que vemos tu y yo al hacer el amor naaa yo no te pido la lunaa solo quiero tener muy cerca de mi naaa yo no te pido la lunaa solo quiero entregarme para siempre ti naaa naaa naaa
Yo no te pido la luna tan solo quiero amarte quiero ser esa locura que vibra muy dentro de ti naaa Yo no te pido la luna solo te pido el momento de rescartar esta piel y robarme esa estrella que vemos tu y yo al hacer el amor naaa
Yo no te pido la luna tan solo quiero amarte quiero ser esa locura que vibra muy dentro de ti naaa Yo no te pido la luna solo te pido el momento de rescartar esta piel y robarme esa estrella que vemos tu y yo al hacer el amor naaa
Ojo, que esto tiene pinta de ir a ser la canción del verano.
Se trata de un spot publicitario de la empresa Kukuxumusu, y ya van promocionando sus camisetas para SanFermín. Y lo hacen a través de un vídeo musical, con Pablo Carbonell de protagonista. Ni el guaraney ni lo del pontelcinturón...
Por cierto, que el final es un poco desagradable... Ups, tenía que haberlo puesto antes del vídeo, ¿verdad?
What's a woman when a man Don't stand by her side? What's a woman when a man Has secrets to hide?
She'll be weak, she'll be strong Struggle hard for so long
What's a woman when a man (What's a man wihtout a woman?) Don't go by the rule? What's a woman when a man (What's a men without a woman?) Makes her feel like a fool?
When right turns to wrong She will try To hold on to the ghosts of the past When love was to last Dreams from the past Faded so fast
All alone in the dark She will swear He'll never mislead her again
All those dreams from the past Faded so fast Ghosts of the past When love was to last
All alone in the dark She will swear cross her heart Never again
Hoy empiezo con un vídeo de los que más me gustan, y es que el montaje es realmente espectacular, basado en El Fantasma de la Ópera. Es el "I'll do anything for love (but I won't do that)", interpretado por Meat Loaf, y ayudado al final del vídeo por Mrs. Loud (qué pedazo de voz tiene esta mujer). La letra y la música es del genial Jim Steinman ("Total Eclipse of the Heart", "Holding out for a Hero"...).
La versión original es más larga, llega a los 12 minutos (es una auténtica ópera rock), pero el vídeo no se queda corto, con más de 7 minutos.
En la letra (para el que quiera cantar) hay algunos trozos que luego no salen en el vídeo, ya os digo que es una versión recortada.
And i would do anything for love, i'd run right into hell and back I would do anything for love, i'll never lie to you and that's a fact But i'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way And i would do anything for love, but i won't do that, i won't do that Anything for love, oh i would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but i won't do that, oh i won't do that
Some days it don't come easy, and some days it don't come hard Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end Some nights you're breathing fire, and some nights you're carved in ice Some nights you're like nothing i've ever seen before or will again Maybe i'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are burning As long as your dreams are coming true, you better believe it That i would do anything for love, and i'll be there til the final act I would do anything for love, and i'll take a vow and seal a pact But i'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight And i would do anything for love, oh i would do anything for love Oh i would do anything for love, but i won't do that, no i won't do that
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of But i just won't do that
Some days i pray for silence, and somedays i pray for soul Some days i just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n roll Some nights i lose the feeling, and some nights i lose control Some nights i just lose it all when i watch you dance and the thunder rolls Maybe i'm lonely and that's all i'm qualified to be There's just one and only, the one and only promise i can keep
As long as the wheels are turning, as long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it That i would do anything for love, and you know it's true and that's a fact I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back But i'll never do it better than i do it with you, so long, so long And i would do anything for love, oh i would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but i won't do that, no no no i won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of But i just won't do that
But i'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way And i would do anything for love, oh i would do anything for love I would do anything for love But i won't do that No i won't do that
Will you raise me up, will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town? Will you make it all a little less cold? I can do that! i can do that!
Will you hold me sacred? will you hold me tight? Can you colorize my life, i'm so sick of black and white? Can you make it all a little less old? I can do that! oh oh, now i can do that! Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand? Can you give me something i can take home? I can do that! oh oh now, i can do that!
Will you cater to every fantasy i got? Will ya hose me down with holy water, if i get too hot? Will you take me places i've never known? I can do that! oh oh now, i can do that! After a while you'll forget everything It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling And you'll see that it's time to move on I won't do that! no i won't do that!
I know the territory, i've been around It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around I won't do that! no i won't do that! Anything for love, oh i would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but i won't do that, no i won't do that
Seguro que habéis visto el anuncio del nuevo Fiat Bravo 2007. En youtube y en el emule las búsquedas y descargas tanto del anuncio como de la canción son abundantes.
Pues bueno, la canción es "Meravigliosa Creatura", de Gianna Nannini. Os pongo dos vídeos de la canción, la versión original, más movida, que fue la que presentó en el Festivalbar 95 de Ascoli, y la versión acústica actual, la que aparece en el anuncio.
También os pongo la letra, para los fans del karaoke, en italiano y su traducción al castellano.
Molti mari e fiumi Attraverserò dentro la tua terra mi ritroverai turbini e tempeste io cavalcherò volerò tra i fulmini per averti Meravigliosa creatura sei sola al mondo meravigliosa paura d'averti accanto occhi di sole mi bruciano in mezzo al cuore amore è vita meravigliosa Luce dei miei occhi brilla su di me voglio mille lune per accarezzarti pendo dai tuoi sogni veglio su di te non svegliarti non svegliarti non svegliarti .... ancora Meravigliosa creatura sei sola al mondo meravigliosa paura d'averti accanto occhi di sole mi tremano le parole amore è vita meravigliosa Meravigliosa creatura un bacio lento meravigliosa paura d'averti accanto all'improvviso tu scendi nel paradiso muoio d'amore meraviglioso Meravigliosa creatura meravigliosa occhi di sole mi bruciano in mezzo al cuore amore è vita meravigliosa
Traducción al castellano:
Muchos mares y rios Atravesaré Dentro de tu tierra Me reencontrarás Remolinos y tempestades Yo cabalgaré Volaré entre los rayos Para tenerte Maravillosa criatura estás sola en el mundo, Maravilloso miedo de tenerte cerca Ojos de sol me queman en medio del corazón Amor es vida maravillosa Luz de mis ojos Brilla sobre mi Quiero mil lunas Para acariciarte Pendo de tus sueños Velo sobre ti No te despiertes, no te despiertes No te despiertes...todavía Maravillosa criatura estás sola en el mundo, Maravilloso miedo de tenerte cerca Ojos de sol me tiemblan las palabras Amor es vida maravillosa Maravillosa criatura un beso lento Maravilloso miedo de tenerte cerca De repente tu bajas al paraíso Muero de amor maravilloso Maravillosa criatura Maravillosa Ojos de sol me queman en medio del corazón Amor eres vida maravillosa.
¿Quién no se acuerda de Barrio Sésamo? Epi, Blas, la rana Gustavo, Coco...
¿Y quién no ha oído alguna vez esta canción que cantaban allí? Os dejo dos versiones diferentes, y no pongo la letra de la canción porque el que quiera karaoke lo tiene bastante fácil...
Para empezar sección de vídeos musicales, una canción que me encanta: It's Not Unusual, de Tom Jones, todo un clásico. Primero un vídeo (cutre, en esos años...) de la década de los 60, cuando la cantó por primera vez, y luego otro más actual, del Festival de Viña del Mar (Chile) de 2007. Al final, tenéis la letra, por si queréis karaoke.
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone It's not unusual to have fun with anyone But when I see you hanging about with anyone It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die
It's not unusual to go out at any time But when I see you out and about it's such a crime If you should ever wanna be loved by anyone It's not unusual, it happens everyday No matter what you say You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do what you want it to Why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone It's not unusual to be sad with anyone But if I ever find that you've changed at any time It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you Whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh Whoa-whoa
