Litterære pop-perler
Året er 1984, og den britiske pop-duoen Wham! har akkurat sluppet det som skal bli monsterhiten 'wake me up before you go go'. Jeg var ikke akkurat kritisk- hverken til musikk eller tekst på denne tiden. Det har vel snurpet seg litt til med tiden. Nå skal jeg ikke begi meg inn på noen dypere tolkning av denne teksten- først og fremst fordi den neppe fortjener det. '....Den står og skinner for seg selv, og oss som er tilstede...' Enjoy!
Wake me up before you go go(Wham!)
You put the boom boom into my heart,
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts.
Jitterbug into my brain,
Goes bang bang bang till my feet do the same.
But something's bugging me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me
What you did last night.
Left me sleeping
In my bed.
I was dreaming
But I should've been with you instead.
CHORUS
Wake me up before you go go,
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.
Wake me up before you go go,
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go go,
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo.
Wake me up before you go go,
Take me dancing tonite.
I wanna hit that high...
You get the gray skies outta my way,
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day.
Turn a bright spark into a flame,
My beats per minute never been the same.
'Cause you're my lady,
I'm your fool.
Makes me crazy
When you act so cruel.
C'mon baby,
Let's not fight.
We'll go dancing
And everything will be alright.
REPEAT CHORUS
Cuddle up baby,
Move in tight.
We'll go dancing tomorrow night.
It's cold out there
But it's warm in bed.
They can dance,
We'll stay home instead.
