Summer in the City

 

 

Os explico: en AXN están poniendo un anuncio sobre sus series mientras de fondo se oye una canción muy bonita y marchosa cantada "a capella". La canción original corresponde al grupo de "The Lovin' Spoonful ", durante aquellos años en los que nuestros papis eran peques . Daré un premio al que sepa decirme (porque yo no tengo ni idea) qué grupo es el que canta esta versión de la canción ("Summer in The City"). Como punto de partida os diré que no es ni Joe Cocker , ni Quincy Jones , ni Van Morrison .

La letra de la canción es la que sigue:

"Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city"

Nos vemos!

Grief is itself a medicine.

You know that they say "practice makes perfect". Pretend that you are rich and you will become rich. Do you think so?

You introduction is detail, thank you so significantly information, but why do not you deliver some reference photographs?

Bueno, tras mucho buscar y preguntar a la gente hasta aburrirla, ya sé qué grupo es y ya he conseguido la canción (muy bonita, por cierto). Aún así, a ver si alguien más la encuentra.
