THE LOVIN´ SPOONFUL. Summer In The City.
“Summer In The
City” quizá sea uno de los temas más versionados de la historia. Desde B.B.
King hasta The Stranglers, muchos sucumbieron a la melodía y el
ritmo malabarístico de esta canción sensacional. Contenida en el espléndido “Hums
of The Lovin´Spoonful” (66), su existir se debe a la inspiración de Steve
Boone y el hermanísimo de John, Mark Sebastian. Una de las mejores
canciones de la banda de Nueva York, ganando por la mano incluso a la
dulzarrona “Do You Believe In Magic?”. The Lovin´Spoonful fueron
unos maestrillos engarzando estilos, casando con tino el pop con el blues, el
pop con el country o el pop con lo que fuera. Sin embargo, “Summer In The
City” no es ni pop ni blues ni folk, está al margen de etiquetas y en el
límite de los géneros, es solo una señora canción y punto. Muy apropiada para
los días que corren y especialmente dedicada a todos aquellos que este verano
no podrán salir de la jungla de asfalto y cristal.
SUMMER IN THE CITY
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
