'Let's Get It On'

Verano del 73'

Una música tan suave como desafiante era su título. Todo un incomparable himno de seducción.

I’ve been really tryin baby

Tryin to hold back this feeling for so long

And if you feel like I feel baby

Come on, oh come on, ooh

.

Let’s get it on, ow baby

Let’s get it on, let’s love baby

Let’s get it on, sugar

Let’s get it on, woo

.

We’re all sensitive people with so much to give

Understand me sugar

Since we got to be, let’s live, I love you

There’s nothin’ wrong with me lovin’ you, baby no no

And givin’ yourself to me can never be wrong

If the love is true, oh baby ooh

.

Don’t you know how sweet and wonderful life can be, ooh ooh

I’m askin’ you baby to get it on with me, ooh ooh ooh

I ain’t goin’ to worry, I ain’t goin’ to push, won’t push you baby

So come on come on come on come on come on baby

Stop beatin’ round the bush, hey

.

Let’s get it on, ooh ooh

Let’s get it on, you know what I’m talkin’ about

Come on baby, hey hey, let your love come out

Stop beatin’ round the bush, oh, gonna get it on

Beggin’ you baby I want to get it on

Somethin’ like summertime.

'Take It Easy'

Verano del 72'

Visión veraniega de la Autopista de la Costa del Pacífico: siete mujeres y un juego de ruedas.

Well, I'm running down the road

tryin' to loosen my load

I've got seven women on my mind,

Four that wanna own me,

Two that wanna stone me,

One says she's a friend of mine,

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels

Drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can

Don't even try to understand

Just find a place to make your stand

and take it easy

.

Well, I'm a standing on a corner

in Winslow Arizona

It's such a fine sight to see

It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed

Ford slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby, don't say maybe

I gotta know if your sweet love is

gonna save me

We may lose and we may win though

we will never be here again

so open up, I'm climbin' in,

so take it easy..."Alright"

.

Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen

my load, got a world of trouble on my mind

lookin' for a lover who won't blow my

cover, she's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy

don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy,

come on baby, don't say maybe

I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me, ooh…

.

Oh we got it easy

We oughta take it easy, yeah.

'Maggie May'

Verano del 71'

¿Qué importa la edad? la atracción de los jóvenes por alguien más mayor, más sabio, del sexo opuesto, es una clásica fantasía sexual. 'Maggie May', el tema que convirtió a Rod en un ídolo veraniego, un ‘Verano del 42’ pero más escandaloso. Tierno, pero con un perfume a Rock’&’Roll y unos arreglos de batería y mandolina bastante ‘maduros’.

Wake up Maggie, I think I got something to say to you

It's late September and I really should be back at school

I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more

You led me away from home just to save you from being alone

You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

.

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age

But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything

I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more

You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

.

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand

But you turned into a lover and

mother what a lover, you wore me out

All you did was wreck my bed

and in the morning kick me in the head

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone

You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

.

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school

Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand

Oh Maggie, I wish that I'd never seen your face

You made a first-class fool out of me

But I'm as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart but I love you anyway

.

Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home one of these days.

'In the Summertime'

Verano del 70'

When the weather's fine / You got women, you got women / On your mind' — ¡Con el buen tiempo, tienes mujeres en tu mente'... Y con el malo también... —. Este cuarteto británico de skiffle que nunca supuso una novedad, sobre todo en el mercado americano dio, sin embargo, un buen golpe con este tema. Con su piano salpicante, su cadencioso deambular y su letra simple acerca de nadar y buscar chicas, conducir y buscar chicas, pescar y buscar chicas... Sólo alguien realmente desagradable podría odiar esto.

.

.

In the summertime when the weather's high,

you can stretch right up and touch the sky,

when the weather's fine,

you got women, you got women on your mind.

Have a drink, have a drive,

go out and see what you can find.

.

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal.

If her daddy's poor, just do as you feel.

Speed along the lane,

Do a ton, or a ton and twenty-five.

When the sun goes down, you can make it,

make it good in a lay-by.

.

We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean.

We love everybody, but we do as we think.

When the weather's fine

we go fishing or go swimming in the sea.

We're always happy,

life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

.

Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.

Da-da-da-da-da...Yeah, we're happy happy,

da-da-da-da-dah.

.

When the winter's here, then it's party time.

Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes.

It'll soon be summertime, and we'll sing again,

we'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down.

If she's rich, if she's nice,

bring you're friends and we'll all go into town.

'Born To Be Wild'

Verano del 68'

Si el riff de apertura no te hace salir a toda pastilla por la autopista, es que estás en coma, pequeño.

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

.

I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

.

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

.

Born to be wild

Born to be wild.

'Summertime'

.

Verano del 68'

.

La blanca de alma negra, la que prefería que la llamaran ‘Pearl’, la de menos de un metro setenta y menos de 35 kilos, la que, apenas al año siguiente de este concierto en Gröna Lund – un parque de atracciones de Estocolmo – abandonaría este mundo por la puerta dorada de los heroinómanos. Una forma diferente de ver el tiempo de verano. Y de interpretarlo.

Summertime,

Child, your living's easy.

Fish are, fish are jumping out

And the cotton, Lord,

Cotton's high, Lord so high.

.

Your dad's rich

And your ma is so good-looking, baby.

She's a-looking pretty fine to me now,

Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Don't you cry, don't you cry.

.

One of these mornings

You're gonna rise, rise up singing,

You're gonna spread your wings, child,

And take, take to the sky,

Lord, the sky.

.

But until that morning,

Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya,

No, no, no no, no no, no...

Don't you cry — cry.

'So Happy Together'

.

Verano del 67'

.

Los reyes del Pop irónico californiano. Single clave para su carrera, compuesto por Garry Bonner y Alan Gordon, fue rechazado por diversos grupos pues el tema en sí mismo parecía una parodia... Pues bien, reemplazó a Penny Lane en el primer lugar del Billboard. Su primer y único nº 1 lo fue durante 3 semanas. ¿Irónico, no?

Imagine me and you, i do

I think about you day and night, it’s only right

To think about the girl you love and hold her tight

So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime

And you say you belong to me and ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be, so very fine

So happy together

.

I can’t see me loving nobody but you

For all my life

When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue

For all my life

.

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

.

I can’t see me loving nobody but you

For all my life

When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue

For all my life

.

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

.

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

.

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

.

So happy together

How is the weather

So happy together

Were happy together

So happy together

Happy together

So happy together

So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)
