Existen canciones que te revoletean en la sesera pero que no recuerdas cómo miércoles se llama el grupo que la interpreta y mucho menos cómo rayos se llama la dichosa canción, obviamente escribo éstas líneas con la frustración que sentí en esos instantes... Hace una semana la oí por los altoparlantes del almacén y mi memoria musical despertó con esa tonadilla pegajosa que escuché hace ya varios años. Le pregunté a Carrizo si sabía cómo se llamaba la canción y me dijo "Ellen", y la busqué con ese palabra en Mr. Google mas no la hallé quedándome en ascuas. El viernes, como para hacerme burla, la volví a oir por todos los recodos del almacén y aleteando por mis orejas y me propuse averiguar hasta dar con el paradero de dicho grupo y datos de la canción. Recordé que en una parte de la canción decía "Come on". Probando algunas variantes "Come on Hellen", "Come on Ellen", "Come on Eileen" atiné el título y de paso al nombre de grupo... El grupo se llama Dexis Midnight Runners que surgió a mediados de los setenta y se proyectó hasta los 80´s siendo su canción más conocida y vendida "Come On Eileen". Fue unos de los primeros videos que aparecieron en pantallas en donde se aprecia a un grupo de desgarbados chicos ataviados con ridículos overoles de mezclilla e improvisando pasos de baile no menos ridículos pero la canción me encanta porque es como siento el trabajo, como una hemorragia de adrenalina en la corriente sanguínea, si cabe la expresión... Aquí la letra de la canción que se convirtió en mi rompedero de cabeza de los últimos días y también el video con este buen grupo inglés de la época del Rey Pepino y del Lobo Feroz ¡Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh¡"... ¡Bien vieja estoy eh! Como diría un amigo que está en línea mientras escribo éstas palabras...
Dexis Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
( Dexys Midnight Runners )
(Come on Eileen!)
(Come on Eileen!)
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame
them?
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than
ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers ....
Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty ......
Ah, come on Eileen!
(Come on Eileen!)
(Come on Eileen!)
These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen, I'll sing this tune forever
Come on, Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress .... Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on! Come on Eileen!!!
Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
Come on, Eileen, taloora aye
Come on, Eileen, taloora aye
Come on, Eileen, taloora aye
Come on, Eileen, taloora aye
Come on, Eileen, taloora aye
Come on, Eileen, taloora aye
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty ......
Ah, come on Eileen!
Come on, Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress .... Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on! Come on Eileen!!!
Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
