Hi, my name is Stereo Mike.
Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert 
happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades. 
You can all dial in if you want to answer 
a couple of questions, namely, 
what is Todd’s favourite cheese. 
Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort. 
We’ll see about that…
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It’s a beautiful day.
Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, 
want those three Bran Van tickets man. Waddya think? 
Todd, you there?
I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes,
When Mike came over with a script surprise.
A Mafioso story with a twist,
A “Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar” hitch,
Get your ass out of bed, he said:
I’ll explain it on the way.
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us,
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again.
Flaring out the G-Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin,
Just me and a friend.
Feeling kinda groovy,
Working on a movie. (Yeah right!)
But we did nothing, absolutely but kiss that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
With my mind on my money and my money on my… Beer, beer!
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick.
Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic’s.
Some men there wanted to hurt us,
And other men said we weren’t worth the fuss.
We could see them all bitching by the bar,
About the fine line, between the rich and the poor.
Then Mike turned to me and said:
“What do you think we got done son?”
We’ve got a conclusion, and I guess that’s something, so I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we’ll fix it all up.
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.! …
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.

Se volete staccare… questa è la canzone giusta

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 

Then 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 every day to find some clever 
lines to say 
To make the meaning come through 
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 oh the night’s so blue 
And then I go and spoil it all 
By saying something stupid 
Like I love you 
I love you… 

The time is right 
Your perfume fills my head 
The stars get red 
And oh the night’s so blue 
And then I go and spoil it all 
By saying something stupid 
Like I love you 
I love you…  

Anche quest’anno arriva San Valentino, festa degli innamorati. Non ho proprio voglia di spendere parole sul lato consumistico della festa… la festa c’è ed è giusto che tutte le coppie se la godano fino in fondo.

Quindi tanti tanti auguri a tutte le fortunate coppie di innamorati

Ed un grosso augurio anche a tutti gli innamorati non corrisposti… si ma un grosso augurio di farvela passare in fretta visto che la vita è breve e non vale la pena viverla aspettando una persona che non vi vuole…

Qualcuno si starà chiedendo come mai ho scelto la cover di Somethin’ Stupid  cantata da Robbie Williams e Nicole Kidman come canzone d’accompagnamento per quest’articolo… ho molteplici risposte, tutte completamente estranee al vero significato della canzone:

• l’avrei inserita nella playlist della serata per un dolce momento di ballo con la mia compagna
• San Valentino è un pò Somethin’ Stupid dato che ci si dovrebbe occupare della felicità del proprio partner 365 giorni l’anno (lo sapevo che sarei finito a pensare al lato consumistico della festa…)
• si potrebbe discutere sul numero di falsi “ti amo” che saranno scambiati in questa giornata… il che è Somethin’ Stupid, ma non mi va proprio di fermarmici a pensare in un articolo dedicato all’amore.

Ad ogni modo, buon San Valentino a tutti

PS: single coraggio… dura solo un giorno… domani arriva la nostra festa

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you

No, I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]

{World} was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I’d love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you

No I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

Nobody loves no one

Questa canzone di Isaak, uscita nei primi anni novanta, è stata il suo più grande successo. E’ un brano che descrive gli indelebili segni a cui l’innamoramento può portare.
Il video, pieno di passione e sensualità, è semplicemente favoloso; non per niente è ricordato come uno dei più sexy di sempre.
Per i più curiosi: lei è la top model Helena Christensen.

L’unica compagna in grado di non tradire mai

SomaFM è una radio online comprensiva di 14 stazioni dedicate a suoni chill out, lounge, ambient e downtempo. Tra le possibili scelte, la mia preferita è Groove Salad; se vi piace il genere, un ascolto è caldamente consigliato

Imagine there’s no Heaven 
It’s easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Above us only sky 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today 

Imagine there’s no countries 
It isn’t hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace 

You may say that I’m a dreamer 
But I’m not the only one 
I hope someday you’ll join us 
And the world will be as one 

Imagine no possessions 
I wonder if you can 
No need for greed or hunger 
A brotherhood of man 
Imagine all the people 
Sharing all the world 

You may say that I’m a dreamer 
But I’m not the only one 
I hope someday you’ll join us 
And the world will live as one

Inno pacifista? Brano anti-nazionalista? Anti-religioso?
Molteplici significati sono stati attribuiti a questa canzone, icona della musica pop;  a me piace interpretarla semplicemente come il grido di speranza per un mondo migliore.
