Lo so, è da parecchio che non scrivo... giornate e serate troppo piene di altro, e che non mi lasciano ne' il tempo ne il respiro necessario per sedermi davanti alla macchina da scrivere.
Tuttavia non mi va che si depositi troppa polvere su questo blog, e allora ecco una chicca del 1986 (si, ultimamente sono un po' nostalgico), una spassosa parodia/cover di Money for nothing dei Dire Straits creata dai tizi di Spitting Image.
E spasso a parte, devo dire che raramente ho sentito un cantato tanto vicino all'originale di Knopfler.
Money for nothing / Making nice curtains
Look at them yuppies, they're the ones who buy it
Watch 'em playing our new CDs
It ain't heaven, it's just sorta soothing
Play it in the background at your dinner parties
Our music goes with microwave ovens
With Filofaxes and with old stripped pine
Our music goes with video recorders
Our music goes with Laura Ashley blinds
Look at them yuppies, that's the way to sell it
Watch them playing in their GTi's
That ain't common, it's kinda classy
It's Fergie's favourite and it's Lady Di's
Our music goes with see-through watches
With leather jackets and with arctic plants
You can play it to your mom and dad
You can even play it to your granny and aunts
Look at them yuppies, listening to our records
In all the wine bars and the chic bistros
And when they go 'round for cocktails with their neighbours
Guess what's playing on the stereos
I want... I want my royalty
I want my royalty
With filofaxes!
It looks good next to video recorders...
It looks good with Laura Ashley blinds
