On est mercredi, ce soir c'est "Nouvelle Star" pour ceux qui ont une télé et qui sont pas bloqués sur le foot.
J'ai plus de télé mais j'ai vu l'émission de la semaine dernière. Apparemment beaucoup de gens se font un petit "mercredi Nouvelle Star" en groupe de temps à autres.
Ça détend, on se prend tous pour des rock-critics, on dit de la merde, on se liquéfie devant le choix calamiteux des chansons, en pleurant sur la saison de folie d' il y a deux ans, avec le Benjamin qui ne faisait que des choix impeccables.
Oui donc, la semaine dernière il y a un mécheux-tête-à-claque qui a massacré "I will survive", cette chanson qu'on ne peut plus décemment écouter depuis 98.
Et à part Manoeuvre personne, et surtout pas Lio évidemment, ne savait que cette chanson avait été l'objet d'une superbe reprise de CAKE en 1996 sur l'indispensable album "Fashion Nugget".
N'en déplaise par contre à Manoeuvre, la reprise du mécheux, pour être "rock", n'avait vraiment rien à voir avec la géniale reprise de CAKE.
Accessoirement, signalons à Manoeuvre que CAKE n'est pas DU TOUT un groupe "néo grunge". Mega SIC ! On metrra ça sur le compte de l'excitation du direct et du choc subi face à l'inculture crasse de Lio. Ou alors au fait qu'un autre candidat venait justement de massacrer un standard du grunge : "Black Hole Sun" de SOUNDGARDEN, qu'il a réussi à faire passer pour un truc de balloche-bellâtre sans âme.
Donc bon, voici le "I will survive" de CAKE
Mais vu qu'on parle de CAKE, groupe injustement sous-estimé, parlons d'autres chansons du groupe lui-même, qui sont de grosses tueries. Et en live s'il vous plait, histoire de se rendre bien compte.
Notez que le gratteux d'origine GREG BROWN n'est pas sur ces vidéos puisqu'il s'est barré en 98. C'est pourtant à lui qu'on doit une grande partie du "son CAKE", reconnaissable entre mille. Un très grand guitariste. Son remplaçant depuis 98, Xan Mc Curdy, n'est pas une pelle non plus ceci dit .... la preuve :
Et celle ci on l'aime aussi pour les paroles bien cyniques et très intelligentes que je vous colle juste après, génial !
Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs,
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
That proves you were there, That you heard of them first?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle? Ah, tell me.
How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
Aging black leather and hospital bills,
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments,
But rock on completely with some brand new components.
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
Your chaos won't convert them.
They're so happy to rebuild it.
You'll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking,
You're drinking,
You're drinking what they're selling.
