She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
.....
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
This was inspired by a 1970 Temptations song called "Psychedelic Shack," which had the refrain: "Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at."
The lyrics are fun and harmless, but they can be interpreted as being about a place where people go to have sex. At Disney World, you will never see Mickey Mouse dancing to it.
Nile Rodgers and Don Was produced this.
This was the B-52's first Top 10 hit in the US.
The group performed this on an episode of The Simpsons as "Glove Slap."
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
You're living in your own Private Idaho
Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
“There is no chicago urban blues, more heartfelt than my lament for you.”
(When Prefab Sprout Wrecked My Mind ... que dirían los suecos Blind Terry)
Uno leyendo una biografía de los Pet Shop Boys y el otro un NME con Morrissey en la portada. Pura iconografía de los 80
Pura iconografía de los USA de los 60. ¡Con Sharon Tate como una de las protagonistas!
Ayer estuve viendo el episodio final de los Soprano y sonó de fondo esta canción, un clásico doo wop, “Denise” de Randy & The Rainbows, que en los 70 versionearon Blondie con el título de “Denis”. Prefiero OÍR la versión original pero me gusta más VER la segunda, aunque sorprende un poco el excesivo rol sexy de Debbie Harry. Claro, eran los 70 y las feministas no tenían mucho peso, parece. Hoy sería políticamente incorrecto...
No son los Four Tops, ¡son Orange Juice!
En la vida James Dean se hubiera imaginado que alguien le hiciera un tributo semejante... Amor de fan
And I miss you - like the deserts miss the rain
A Everything But The Girl parece que les gusta mucho Hal David... Esa línea está muy inspirada en él, ¿verdad?
Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
Oh, I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain
I dont know just what to do with myself
Hal David en estado puro. Por algo le llaman el mejor letrista del pop
Es la canción que abre el lp, una canción triste que repite unas frases sobre el manto de guitarras acústicas, el pálpito rítmico constante y bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla... (uffffffff)
Juan Vitoria en su libro Discos Ocultos
La canción suena 100 % Saint Etienne. Incluso la letra parece un pastiche de ellos: Una estación de tren, líneas como “and I begin to cry/then the rain come down” y el final de la letra: “I´ve been once before/forgot to say goodbye...” El single se publica el Lunes en UK
Odio al tío ese de LCD Soundystem; sólo hace que copiarme y luego todo el mundo dice que es buenísimo (Mark E. Smith de The Fall)
Llegan a España este mes: No hay fechas para Valencia
It´s perfect for love- the music is so romantic, so sensual. You could get depressed by the lyrics, but there´s a lot of hope in there. I´m sure the world was tough back then, but listening to it today, Marvin is like a messenger. This record is perfection, both flawless and timeless. It´ll never be passé. (Vanessa Paradis al Mojo 171. Febrero 2008)
Straight from the motherfuckin dungeons of pop! Born in a Stockholm basement some two years ago, rising from the ruins of compromise and time wasted, Juvelen signalled the start of something funky fresh. Finally the record will be set straight. The good name of pop music will be restored, and sexy will once again be the shit. You can't really mention Prince as an influence these days, can you? Let's just say its about songs of the heart, sung from the hip. May I kick it
