Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

|
Está canción del año 1979 y cuyo título es muy apropiado para el día de hoy, es del grupo The Boomtown Rats. Fué escrita por vocalista Bob Geldof tras ver la noticia de que un chico americano había matado a varios personas con un arma de fuego un lunes y que cuando le preguntaron el ¿Por qué? simplemente dijo: "No me gustan los lunes, esto ha animado el día".

Este es otro clásico imprescindible, por cierto, impresionante el toque de piano inicial, que la disfruteis.

Solo la canción


The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody’s gonna go to school today
She’s gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn’t understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?

Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father’s world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen
Now that ain’t so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot
The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
(With the problems of the how's and why's)
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die?
Oh Oh Oh

Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like
I don’t like (Tell me why)
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like
I don’t like (Tell me why)
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

Clásicazo. Buenísimo el sólo de piano y el estribillo con ese coro. Enorme canción. Muy apropiada para los lunes (siempre que te toque ir a trabajar, si tienes vacaciones lo ves distinto jejejejejejejejeje).
