\"David_Bowie_Hunky_Dory\"Primera aparici\u00f3n estelar del polifac\u00e9tico y ambiguo David Bowie en este blog (antes ya se hab\u00eda presentado<\/a> en los coros<\/a>). Y la canci\u00f3n seleccionada es Life On Mars?<\/strong>, de su \u00e1lbum Hunky Dory<\/strong> (1971<\/em>). <\/p>\n

Treinta a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s vuelve a estar en la picota por su aparici\u00f3n en la banda sonora de la serie<\/a> hom\u00f3nima de la BBC y el acompa\u00f1amiento de una campa\u00f1a publicitaria televisiva de tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito. Una letra cargada de surrealismo (casi tanto como David) con referencias a Lennon, Mickey Mouse… y una carga extra de iron\u00eda: \u00bfos suenan los acordes al My Way<\/em> de Frank Sinatra? En 1968, Bowie escribi\u00f3 en ingl\u00e9s la letra de una canci\u00f3n francesa titulada \u00abComme, D\u2019Habitude<\/em>\u00ab, llamando a su versi\u00f3n \u00abEven a fool learns to love<\/em>\u00ab. Nunca fue publicada, pero m\u00e1s tarde Paul Anka escuch\u00f3 la original, compr\u00f3 sus derechos, y la reescribi\u00f3 titul\u00e1ndola \u00abMy way\u00bb. Qu\u00e9 pu\u00f1etera es a veces la vida \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\u00bfHabr\u00e1 vida en marte? Gracias a Cymo por la recomendaci\u00f3n v\u00eda twitter :-).<\/p>\n

Letra:<\/p>\n

It’s a god-awful small affair
\nTo the girl with the mousy hair
\nBut her mummy is yelling \u00abNo\u00bb
\nAnd her daddy has told her to go
\nBut her friend is nowhere to be seen
\nNow she walks through her sunken dream
\nTo the seat with the clearest view
\nAnd she’s hooked to the silver screen<\/p>\n

But the film is a saddening bore
\n‘Cause she’s lived it ten times or more
\nShe could spit in the eyes of fools
\nAs they ask her to focus on<\/p>\n

[estribillo]
\nSailors fighting in the dance hall
\nOh man! Look at those cavemen go
\nIt’s the freakiest show
\nTake a look at the Lawman
\nBeating up the wrong guy
\nOh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
\nHe’s in the best selling show
\nIs there life on Mars?<\/p>\n

It’s on America’s tortured brow
\nThat Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
\nNow the workers have struck for fame
\n‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again
\nSee the mice in their million hordes
\nFrom Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
\nRule Britannia is out of bounds
\nTo my mother, my dog, and clowns
\nBut the film is a saddening bore
\n‘Cause I wrote it ten times or more
\nIt’s about to be writ again
\nAs I ask you to focus on<\/p>\n
