Sa, inauguriamo un nuovo giochino: cazzeggiando in rete sono finito sulla pagina di Wikipedia che mostra la Top100 USA dalla sua nascita fino ad oggi. Spinto dalla curiosità ho pensato di guardare qual’era la canzone in testa alla classifica nella settimana in cui sono nato. Inutile dire che il risultato è stato abbastanza agghiacciante (più che altro perchè non solo ho trovato la canzone, ma anche il video).

Ebbene sì: la canzone che spakkava il culo quando sono nato io è Physical di Olivia Newton John (quella che ha fatto Grease con John Travolta …)

Olivia Newton John - Physical


I’m saying all the things that I know you’ll like
Making good conversation
I gotta handle you just right
You know what I mean
I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
There’s nothing left to talk about
Unless it’s horizontally

Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

I’ve been patient, I’ve been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It’s gettin’ hard this holdin’ back
If you know what I mean

I’m sure you’ll understand my point of view
We know each other mentally
You gotta know that you’re bringin’ out
The animal in me

Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Let’s get animal, animal
I wanna get animal
Let’s get into animal
Let me hear your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

A parte l’indiscussa gayaggine del video, mi è caduta definitivamente la mascella quando si vede il tipo che fa (per modo di dire …smiley l’assolo di chitarra con le molle da palestra.

Non contento di tutto ciò, mi sono incuriosito e ho deciso di controllare come stavo messo nella Hit Parade Italiana. Questa volta la canzone è risultata essere la celeberrima Bette Davis Eyes di Kim Carnes. E per un pelo! Al secondo posto c’erano i Ricchi e Poveri!

Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes



Her hair is Harlowe gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll turn her music on you
You won’t have to think twice
She’s pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she’ll tease you
She’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

She’ll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She’ll lay you on her throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

She’ll expose you, when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She’s ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

And she’ll tease you
She’ll unease you
All the better just to please ya
She’s precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

She’ll tease you
She’ll unease you
Just to please ya
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll expose you, when she snows you
She knows ya
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

A questo punto, passo la palla a voi: come siete messi? Che canzoni furoreggiavano quando siete nati? Fatemi sapere nei commenti! Salterà fuori solo roba dall’ottanta con furore oppure ci sarà qualche ospite più giovane che ci delizierà con un buon sound anni 90?
