Paul McCartney cumple 70 tacos

    Hoy el excomponente de los Beatles celebra su 70 cumpleaños, el hombre aunque tenga sus años  no se le ocurre ni por un momento bajarse de los escenarios.

   Paul fue mundialmente conocido por ser integrante del grupo The Beatles (1960- 1970) y posteriormente del grupo The Wings (1971-1981), aún así en su carrera en solitario ha realizado, y de hecho realiza, numerosas giras mundiales.
    McCartney es el compositor de mayor éxito comercial de música popular y así aparece designado en el libro Guinnes World Records.

  Por todo lo que ha conseguido y más, doy mis más eufóricas: FELICIDADES.



  Después de esta charla os pongo un vídeo de  la canción más versionada de la historia con más de 3.500 versiones grabadas[5]y que se ha tocado más de 7.000.000 veces en la TV y radio de Estados Unidos.



  La letra como ya es usual en mí:
  
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
now I'm long for yesterday
 
Yesterday,
 Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
 
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
now I'm long for yesterday
 
Yesterday,
 Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

AC/DC: Highway to hell o Thunderstruck

       AC/DC es un grupo australiano de hard rock formado en la ciudad de Sídney en 1973 por los hermanos de origen escocés Malcolm y Angus Young.Al principio se hicieron famosas sus actuaciones en directo, gracias en parte al extravagante estilo de su guitarrista principal, Angus Young, generalmente vestido con uniforme de colegial en los conciertos

       Aunque llegaron al Reino Unido en pleno auge del punk rock, en poco tiempo obtuvieron una enorme aceptación del público.
Han vendido más de 250 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo.


      Hoy os dejo con dos de sus grandes temas, a mí en concreto me gusta más el de Highway to hell, pero insisto ambos son geniales.



Letra de Highway to hell (sigo con la misma candinela):


Livin' easy, lovin' free,
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Askin' nothin', leave me be,
Takin' everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme,
Ain't nothin' I would rather do
Goin' down, party time,
My friends are gonna be there, too
Yeah...

[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to Hell!
On the highway to Hell!
Highway to Hell!
I'm on the highway to Hell!

No stop signs, speed limit,
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it,
Nobody's gonna mess me 'round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues,
Playin' in a rockin' band
Hey momma, look at me,
I'm on my way to the Promised Land
Whoo!'

[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to Hell!
Highway to Hell!
I'm on the highway to Hell!
Highway to Hell, mmmmm...
Don'tcha stop me!
Ah! Ah! Ow!

[Instrumental Intermission]

[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to Hell!
On the highway to Hell!
I'm on the highway to Hell!
On the highway to - whoa!
(Highway to Hell!)
I'm on the highway to Hell!
(Highway to Hell!)
I'm on the high-!
(Highway to Hell!)
Whoa-oh yeah!
(Highway to Hell!)
And I'm goin' down...
All the waaaaay! Whoa!
On the highway to Hell...






Letra de Thunderstruck:

(thunder) (x10)
i was caught
in the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
[...of a lightning attack]
i looked round
and i knew there was no turning back (thunder)
my mind raced
and i thought what could i do (thunder)
and i knew
there was no help, no help from you (thunder)

Sound of the drums
beatin' in my heart
the thunder of guns
tore me apart
you've been - thunderstruck

Rode down the highway
broke the limit, we hit the town
went down to texas, yeah texas
and we had some fun
we met some girls
some dancers who gave a good time
broke all the rules, played all the fools
yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds

I was shakin' at the knees
could i come again please?
yeah the ladies were too kind
you've been - thunderstruck, thunderstruck
yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck
Yeah
oh, thunderstruck, yeah

Now we're shaking at the knees
could i come again please?
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck
thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah

Said yeah, it's alright
we're doing fine
yeah, it's alright
we're doing fine
(so fine)

Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah,
tunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
whoa baby, baby, thunderstruck
you've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
you've been thunderstruck
