Classic song #25:
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND: Oh, Sweet nuthin' (1970)
Siguiendo con los bolos de The Black Crowes en Amsterdam,
no me puedo resistir a rescatar para esta sección de clásicos uno de los
grandes momentos que vivimos la segunda noche con una épica versión de “Oh,
sweet nuthin’” de The Velvet Underground, cantada por Rich Robinson.
No voy a exagerar ni un ápice y os puedo asegurar que
estuve muy enganchado al tema durante los días sucesivos al concierto. No me la
podía quitar de la cabeza, de veras. Una y otra vez me venía su melodía a la
mente y no podía dejar de cantar su estribillo.
Este tema de la Velvet no será tan conocido como “Sweet
Jane”, “Heroin” o “Rock’n’Roll”, pero es sin duda una de las grandes joyas de
esta formación de Nueva York. Cantada por Doug Yule, aquí os la dejo para todo aquel
que la quiera disfrutar. Temazo del
copón!!!
Say a
word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't
got nothing at all
Not a
shirt right off his back
He ain't
got nothing at all
And say
a word for Ginger Brown
Walks
with his head down to the ground
They
took the shoes right off his feet
And
threw the poor boy right out in the street
She
ain't got nothing at all
She
ain't got nothing at all
She
can't tell the night from the day
They threw
her out in the street
But just
like a cat she landed on her feet
And say
a word for Joanna Love
She
ain't got nothing at all
'Cos
everyday she falls in love
And
everynight she falls when she does
You know
she ain't got nothing at all
She
ain't got nothing at all
Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't
got nothing at all
Not a
shirt right of his back
He ain't
got nothing at all
And say
a word for Ginger Brown
Walks
with his head down to the ground
They
took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet
And
threw the poor boy right out in the street
She ain't got nothing at all
She ain't got nothing at all
She ain't got nothing at all Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
She ain't got nothing at all
She ain't got nothing at all
