Erasure

Vince Clark e Andy Bell eram a dupla inglesa que, entre outras coisas absurdas, cantava uma cover de Take a Chance on Me, do Abba. O melhor era o clipe, onde eles cantavam vestidos de drag. Erasure era tudo! Entre as criações do grupo estão Blue Savannah, Stop, Star, A Little Respect e I Love to Hate You. Quando eu era criança, confundia muito Erasure com Depeche Mode. Não pergunte como. Mas eu confundia.

Brinde: uma letra do Erasure:

A Little Respect

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace in our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Outro dia vi um cara de calça semibag. Eu podia jurar que ela tinha sido enterrada, junto com as ombreiras. Afinal, nem tudo nos anos 80 foi maravilhoso...

Ah, hoje eu lembrei do bailinho da vassoura. Vocês lembram? A música tocava. Claro, sempre música lenta: Richard Marx, Chris DeBourgh, Toto, lentinhas do Rick Astley, entre outras. A vassoura ia passando de mão em mão. Quem estivesse com a vassoura trocava ela pelo par de outra pessoa. Quando a música terminasse, quem estivesse com a vassoura ficava com aquela cara de "ahhh, ops... droga.". E, claro, tinha gente que se recusava a pegar a vassoura, casaizinhos que não se separavam e assim vai. Era uma época difícil.

Comprei um CD da Cyndi Lauper duplo, muuuuito bom. E quanto custou? Apenas 14 reais!!! Tem tudo: Goonies, Girls just wanna have fun, true colors, I drove all night, e muito mais. Vale a pena! Na Virtual Cd, que tem em tudo quanto é canto e vende uns cds mto baratos de vez em quando.

Da trilha de um filme que não é da época, mas se passa nos anos 80, "Quem vai ficar com Mary?". Eu odeio esse filme, by the way, mas você não pode ignorar The Foundations.

Build Me Up Buttercup
The Foundations

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah dah dah)
I run to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time, and I'll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

I-I-I need you-oo-oo more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

Alguém me explica porque o Fala sério não funciona no meu blog? Droga. A vida é uma droga. Oh dia, Oh vida, Oh azar...

Tá ok, eu já notei que os comentários não funcionam. Gostaria de pedir, por favor, àqueles que comentaram no post anterior, pra mandar de novo. Eu estou tão envergonhada de fazer meus visitantes passarem esse carão...

Pela nonagésima vez:



The Get-Along Gang

The Get-Along Gang, Get-Along Gang
Each is special in its own
Montgomery is the leader and he's such a good sport!
The Get-Along Gang, Get-Along Gang
There's Woolma and Dotty with the spirit
And Bingo with pranks who doesn't ruin it
Logical Portia will figure out
And last Zipper, the lean machine

Get up with the Get-Along-Gang
Come on, they're adventures don't end
Get up with the Get-Along-Gang
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Get up!

The Get-Along Gang

Ah, eu desisto!

Cansei de fingir que não ligo mais pros anos 80! Eu estou morrendo de saudade de ressucitar as memórias da minha infância! Então, que seja. E, para comemorar, eu vou colocar minha mais nova paixão aqui, o Googlism:

the 80's is the root for the artists in this album in a certain form
the 80's is starting to peak
the 80's is getting us all nostalgic
