Oma biisi

Jokaiseen tunnelmaan ja tilanteeseen löytyy aina sopiva biisi. Mutta sitten on näitä biisejä, jotka vain yksinkertaisesti kuvastavat omaa olemusta totaalisesti. Minulla nämä biisit vaihtelevat aina muutamien vuosien välein. Pitkän aikaa minulle ”se oma biisi” on ollut The Rolling Stonesin ”2000 Light Years From Home”. Nyt kaksi biisiä ovat nousseet ylitse muiden. Mutta en osaa valita kumpaa olisin enemmän tai vähemmän. Olen siis kumpaakin …

Muddy Waters: I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man
(alkup. Willie Dixon)

The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
I got a boy child’s comin’
He’s gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women’s
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about
But you know I’m him
Everybody knows I’m him
Well you know I’m the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I’m him

I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Concheroo
I’m gonna mess with you
I’m gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
The hoochie coochie man
But you know I’m him
Everybody knows I’m him
Oh you know I’m the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I’m him

On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
And that you’ll see
I got seven hundred dollars
Don’t you mess with me
But you know I’m him
Everybody knows I’m him
Well you know I’m the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I’m him

The Platters: The Great Pretender

Oh yes, I’m the great pretender
Pretending that I’m doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I’m the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel when my heart cant conceive

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
Im wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that youre still around

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel when my heart cant conceive

Oh, yes, I’m the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that youre still around

Siinä sitä on elvistelyä ja haaveilevaa melankoliaa … that’s me.
