Crash Test Dummies – Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Nunca una onomatopeya se hizo tan famosa como título de una canción. Y con esta melodía volvemos a las One Hits Bands, porque estos canadienses no han tenido otro gran éxito igual. Está en el álbum God Shuffled His Feet (1993) y cuenta historias donde los protagonistas son niños: uno al que se le pone el pelo blanco de un susto, otra con su cuerpo lleno de antojos y uno con unos padres muy severos pertenecientes a una secta. Sin duda me quedo con este She couldn’t quite explain it. They’d always just been there. Porque en muchas ocasiones no nos planteamos las cosas que siempre han sido así. ¡Reinventemonos continuamente!

Un sugus para quien me adivine en qué banda sonora de serie aparece 😉 . Que tengan todos ustedes un buen fin de semana.

Letra:

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn’t come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard

[estribillo]
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn’t go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn’t quite explain it
They’d always just been there

[estribillo]

But both girl and boy were glad
‘Cause one kid had it worse than that

‘Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn’t quite explain it
They’d always just gone there

[estribillo]
