Era broma, cierto?: Hello again, The Cars

por Paty Leiva

En plena ebullición new wave, la banda The Cars tiraba pinta con este “precioso” video. Pero eso si, este va con más respeto porque el barman es el mismísimo Andy Warhol. La versión MTV estaba censurada, porque no me acuerdo de hacer visto tanta gente en pelotas –que con la moda de la época no me parecen muy estéticas que digamos–, solo recuerdo a Ocasek (el hombre – más – feo – del – mundo – casado – con – una – modelo), las hombreras, la ropa plateada y el bar de set de televisión donde toda esta gente “linda” disfruta de los más frívolos copetes ever.


You might have forgot
the journey ends
you tied your knots
and you made your friends
you left the scene
without a trace
one hand on the ground
one hand in space

oh you passed on mercy
you tried the rest
you gave your body
you gave your best
stare at the green door
livin’ in the sky
you don’t wanna know it
you just want to fly

(hello) hello
(hello again)
uh-oo, mm-mm yeah
(hello) hello
(hello again)
hello, that’s right

I know (I know you’re a dreamer)
mm-mm, who’s under the gun
I know (I know you’re a dreamer)
who’s only just begun

hello (hello)
(hello again)
mm-mm, I say
(hello) ello
(hello again)
yeah

oh when there’s nothin’
nothin’ left to lose
you leave it all
to fade to blue-ue, eah, yeah
[garbled chipmunks]

(you want to feel) electric
(you want to feel) loose
(you want to be) eclectic
you want to call a truce
(look [echo]) at the profile
staring at the flame
(wait [echo]) for the sunshine
standing in the rain

(hello) uh oh
(hello again)
I said hello (hello) hello
(hello again) hello again
I say hello (hello) ello
(hello again) hello again

(hello) uh oh
(hello again)
oo-oo
(hello)
mm-mm hello
(hello)
uh mm, I said hello-lo-lo-lo-lo
(hello)
(hello)
