Песни о Битлз

А вот у Стаса Намина есть композиция, прям так и называется - "Посвящение Битлз", с альбома "Гимн Солнцу" (1980). Вокализ такой красивый...

Так понял, что исполнители сабжа на русском языке здешнему народу мало интересны, но некоторые упоминались. Зафиксирую еще одну песню до кучи:) Грассмейстер - Время цветов.

August 16, 2006 -- Press Release

BeatlesandBeyond Charity CD

Once again, BeatlesandBeyond is supporting Charities - this time with a unique Compact Disc made of ORIGINAL songs donated by friends and listeners of the show.

BeatlesandBeyond has compiled a unique CD of International original songs, donated by listeners and friends of arguably the longest running Beatles Radio show in the UK. Profits from the CD sales will be forwarded to 'Adopt a Minefield' (Paul McCartneys' charity)and Diabetes UK.

http://www.diabetes.org.uk/fundraise/charity_cd.htm

Show presenter/Compiler Pete Dicks reports that the suggestion that 'Adopt a Minefield' be involved came from a listener and Pete was happy to do so, as one of his friends lost a leg in Vietnam due to a mine.

'Adopt a Minefield' has agreed to contribute in promoting the CD, as has 'Diabetes UK' - see their websites! The CD, now available, contains 16 original tracks!

We are proud to include a track by the late Mike Gibbins of Badfinger on this wonderful CD!

Billy Joel спел такую песню на альбоме Turnstiles (1976):

All You Wanna Do Is Dance

Oh baby, you don't get turned on by the radio.
Oh baby, you got nothing to play on your stereo.
"Why don't the Beatles get back together?"
"Why don't nobody sing of romance?"-
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.

Oh baby, I think you are lost in the seventies.
Oh baby, "The music she ain't what she used to be."
You don't understand what they're saying,
You've given it every chance
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.

Well you wish you were back in the good old days,
When tomatoes were cheaper,
and you never heard the words of your favorite songs
Through a three inch speaker.
And you never messed around with dangerous drugs,
You were all getting sick on beer
And you didn't get any (unless you went steady and made out for a year).

Well you can hide away honey, in your rock and roll dreams,
You can stand by your blue suede shoes
But the party is over,
And I'm getting tired of waiting for you.

Oh baby, "Where are the oldies they used to play?"
Oh baby, you want to crawl back into yesterday,
You don't want to deal with the future,
You don't want to make any plans-
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.

У тех же Guess Who в супергипермегаэпической Friends of Mine с альбома Wheatfield Soul есть такие строчки:

You got the magical mystery tour

You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour

And Kurt is the Walrus
And Kurt is the Walrus
And the Walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm
All right...

На новом альбоме ударника Kiss Питера Крисса One For All есть песня Doesn't Get Better Than This. В ней есть такой куплет -

Remember George and his guitar
John and Paul and Ringo Starr.
The time is now just you and me
Lets lock the door and let it be.

В связи с кончиной незабвенного Егора Летова надо бы упомянуть и его "вклад":

Автор: Егор Летов

Альбом: Тоталитаризм

Fm# E A D
H C#
Прозрачные жители чужой норы,
Волшебные правила любой игры,
Далекий ветер подземных стай,
Наверно это Luci in the Sky.

Fm# E A D
А мы в глубокой жопе.

Тугая мякоть, пушистый цвет,
Стеклянный шорох, большой ответ,
Такой последний, такой один,
Как измученный звук разбитых витрин.

Благая травка, великий Джа,
Полёт с девятого этажа.
Веселый праздник Растафарай,
Другое место, терновый рай.

Зашить карманы, забить окно,
Босой ногой раздавить гавно.
Срастись всецело, залечь пластом,
И ползти наружу слепым глистом.
___________________________

На втором альбоме Шакиры "Peligro" 1994 года есть песня под названием "1968". Там упоминается Леннон, Джэнис Джоплин, Джимми Хендрикс и ещё кое-кто. Вот текст. Перевод у меня есть, но только примерный, т. к. испанский знаю очень плохо...

1968

Dime quien conocia
Que era entonces la vida
Andaba el mundo en plan
de hallar la libertad y rechazar
lo que el pudor les imponia

Abolir lo que oprimia...

Dime quien encendia
toda esa rebeldia
Busttock y Lutter King
Satre y Gagarin
Que es lo que me perdi
Cuando yo aun no existia
Fue real o fue mentira

Sin miedos liberemos nuestros suenos
y vamos a retornar esos tiempos...

Dime, quedo en la nada la primavera de Praga
Lennon, Mac Carthney, El che, Janis Joplin
Ferre Twiggy, Hendrix, Dubceek
y millares de estudiantes
que apedreaban en las calles
Dime del pelo largo
y de la era de acuario
Los Hippies, un volcan
contrarios a Viet-nam
Joan Vaez, Yu Than
esos suenos ideales
simbolos de Flower Power

Sin miedos liberemos nuestros suenos
y vamos a retomar esos tiempos
y ahora todos con las palmas
como es...ta, ta, ta...

Ya se esta perdiendo ese espiritu del ayer
ay decidete si indiferente no quieres ser
ay decidete, decidete decide ya

Mira que no hay oportunidad
decidete, decidete decide ya
mira no las hay, es tiempo de actuar!!!

Но вообще, по сути - это что-то типа хипповского призыва к революции :))

2Whrill:

>Группа Stereo Total (немцы или французы - поют
>по-немецки и по-французски.Песни: Ringo I love
>You, I love You Ono (!!!), Fan de Sixties- перечеслияются
>все билы поименно c милым французским акцентом.

Похоже на генсбуровскую Ex-fan des sixties, которую в конце 70-х пела Биркин.


Ее лирическая героиня сокрушается о том, что все ее кумиры либо умерли, либо канули в небытие - нет больше Элвиса, Бадди Холли, Джима Моррисона, битлы распались...

Ex-fan des sixties
petite Baby Doll
comme tu dansais bien le Rock 'n 'Roll
ex-fan des sixties
ou sont tes annees folles
que sont devenues toutes tes idoles -
ou est l'ombre des Shadows
des Byrds, des Doors
des Animals
des Moo-
dy Blues
separes Mac Cartney
Georges Harrison
et Ringo Starr
et John Lennon - ex-fan des sixties
petite Baby Doll
comme tu dansais bien le Rock 'n 'Roll
ex-fan des sixties
ou sont tes annees folles
que sont devenues toutes tes idoles -
Disparus Brian Jones
Jim Morrison
Eddy Cochran
Buddy
Holly
idem Jimi Hendrix
Otis Redding
Janis Joplin
T.Rex
Elvis

Существуют французская и английская версии этой песни, а также версия, которая никогда и нигде не записывалась и не издавалась. В ней приколист Генсбур заменил имена англоязычных кумиров на имена своих французских коллег, в то время благополучно живших и здравствовавших.)))

Ex-fan des sixties
Petite Baby Doll
Que sont devenues toutes tes idoles
Dick Rivers, Eddy Mitchell,

Richard Anthony, Sylvie Vartan, Nico-

Dassin Joe

Впрочем, это не совсем по теме :)

Неужели никто не слышал:


Cranberries - I Just Shot John Lennon


It was thefearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio, late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died

With a Smith & Wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
he should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared, he said:

"I Just Shot John Lennon!"
He said: "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night

Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night

"I Just Shot John Lennon!"
He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night

Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night

>Неужели никто не слышал:
>Cranberries - I Just Shot John Lennon

Послушала. Слишком реалистичные звуки пяти выстрелов в конце. Каждый раз от них вздрагиваю. Никаких нервов не напасёшься...

В песне "The White Noise Revisited" группы Boo Radleys услыхала такие строчки: "So you listen to the Beatles and relax and close your eyes..." И песня сама так по-битловски звучит...

Red Elvises- песнь «Обратная сторона пилорамы» -«…Люська в небесах с Битлазами, ДжиммиХендриксыыыы…»
