Para Portadas Miticas...

Sin duda Abbey Road es una de las portadas más influyentes de la historia de la música. ¿Cuántas versiones de esta imagen se han hecho desde que The Beatles sacaron a luz este disco allá por 1969? Pues infinidad, solo hace falta echar un vistazo al google imágenes para ello...

Aunque The Beatles no ha sido nunca uno de mis iconos musicales, que se dieron en esa epoca [ soy más de Bob Dylan], no dejo de apreciar los buenísimos que son, lo que han influido en la música y de admiradlos... porque, sin lugar a dudas, son unos genios. Podría ponerle miles de canciones de esta gente, pero en vez de poner uno de esos temas que tantas veces hemos escuchado: Yesterday, Michelle [ que era mi primera opción ], Let it be, Penny Lane, etc. Voy a dejarles con una de esos temas menos famosos, pero igualmente geniales, Rocky Raccoon [ si os fijais, aqui se ven las influencias que podrían haber tenido de Bob Dylan... esa armonica es muy suya ;-) ]

Lyrics - The Beatles

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of dakota
There lived a young boy named rocky raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young rocky in the eye, rocky didn't like that
He said Im gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky raccoon checked into his room
Only to find gideons bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was magil and she called herself lil
But everyone knew her as nancy

Now she and her man who called himself dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said danny boy this is a showdown
But daniel was hot - he drew first and shot
And rocky collapsed in the corner

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said rocky you met your match
And rocky said, doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able

Now rocky raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find gideons bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good rockys revival
