Mais uma

curiosidade musical que eu achei bem engraçada. A banda Motley Crue realmente deve ser muito odiada pelos ingleses.

Pelo menos duas bandas ao que se sabe fizeram músicas sacaneando os caras.
Os primeiros foram os Dire Straits com a Money for nothing. Diz a lenda que essa letra veio enquanto o Mark Knopfler estava fazendo compras num atacadao em Nova Iorque onde se vendia microondas, cozinhas pré-fabricadas, tvs, geladeiras e etc. O M. Knopfler pegou um papel e começou a anotar as coisas que o funcionário dizia enquanto nas tvs rolava um clip da MTV. O clip, supostamente, era do Motley Crue.

Vejamos a letra:

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovesns
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin' and chicks for free

A música foi acusada de racista e homofóbica e o termo "little faggot" foi substituído por "little mother" ou "queenie", rs. Todas as indicaçoes que se trata do MC estao lá: "That little faggot got his own jet airplane" parece que nessa época nao tinha muitas bandas além do MC que tinham seus próprio avião.

A outra letra é de ninguém menos que Bruce Dickinson. No seu primeiro disco entitulado "Tattooed millionaire" ele escreveu a faixa-título pra ninguém menos que o Nikki Sixx que aparentemente dormiu com a namorada do Bruce. How dare, you cunt! Imagino o Bruce ficando puto da vida e escrevendo isso:

Tattooed boys with expensive toys.
Living in a bubble of sin.
Money can buy you most of anything.
Fix your nose or the mess your in.
Front page news you can share your views.
With a population that wants to be like you.
Out on the strip. Out on the tiles.
Same old greed behind the PR smiles.

You and all your entourage. To me your all the same.
You and all your entourage. Playing foolish games.

[CHORUS:]

I don't want your big city shining.
I don't want your silver lining.
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire.

He's got a wife, she ain't no brain child.
EX mud queen of Miami.
In his stretch cadillac, he keeps her in the back.
With his CD player and his bottle of Jack.
LA dude. LA Attitude. Laid back, selfish and getting fat.
Body guards, Porn Stars, Gold credit cards.
Using each other. Running for cover.

O clip AQUI. O legal é que a musica é até alto-astral, bunitinha pro tom da letra. Sem viadagens, eu amo qualquer coisa que o Bruce faz, rs.

Entao quero ver todo mundo cantando:
I dont want your big city shining I dont want your silver lining I dont want to be a tattooed millionaireeeeee
