1910 Fruitgum Company - "Simon says"

2 comentarios:

  1. Junto a Ohio Express y su 'Yummy, Yummy, Yummy', y a los superconocidos e invisibles The Archies y su no menos superconocida 'Sugar, Sugar', el mayor exponente del género que se conocería como “música chicle” es este grupo americano que adoptaría nombre tan singular como éste de 1910 Fruitgum Company en referencia a una marca de chicles (¡claro!).
    Este estilo de música pop tan alegre y tan pegadiza, fué creado sin otra pretensión que la de divertir y hacer pasar buenos ratos a muchos de aquellos adolescentes de finales de los años sesenta que sólo pensaban en divertirse y pasar buenos ratos.
    El éxito más sonado en la carrera de los 1910, etc... lo van a lograr en 1968 con este festivo y desenfadado 'Simon Says' del que logran vender nada menos que tres millones y medio de copias, y cuya letra remeda a ese antiguo y conocido juego infantil del mismo nombre.

  2. I'd like to play a game,
    That is so much fun,
    And it's not so very hard to do,
    The name of the game is Simple Simon says,
    And I would like for you to play it to,

    Put your hands in the air,
    Simple Simon says,
    Shake them all about,
    Simple Simon says,
    Do it when Simon says,
    Simple Simon says,
    And you will never be out.

    Simple Simon says,
    Put your hands on your head,
    Let your back bone stretch,
    Simon says,

    Simple simon says,
    Put your hands on your head,
    Let your back bone stiff,
    Simon says,
    Put your hands on your head,
    Simple Simon says,
    Bring them down by your side,
    Simple Simon says,
    Shake them to your left,
    Simple Simon Says,
    Now shake them to your right,

    Put your hands on your head,
    Simple Simon says,
    Bring them down by your side,
    Simple Simon says,
    Shake them to your left,
    Simple Simon Says,
    Now shake them to your right,

    Now that you have learnt,
    To play this game with me,
    You can see its not so hard to do,
    Lets try it once again,
    This time more carefully,
    And I hope the winner will be you.

    Clap your hands in the air,
    Simple Simon says,
    Do it double time,
    Simple Simon says,
    Slow it down like before,
    Simple Simon says,
    Ah, your looking fine.
    Simple Simon says,
    Now clap them high in the air,
    Simple Simon says,
    Do it double time,
    Simple Simon says,
    Slow it down like before,
    Simple Simon says,
    Ah, your looking fine.
