BROS- "When will I be famous?" (1988)

 

Pour ceux qui ne s'en souviendraient pas, BROS est un des premiers "boys band" made in England qui ont squatté la tête des charts avec plusieurs de leurs singles, dont le terrible "When will I be famous?" en 1988, leur 2ème titre.

Composé de Matt, luke et Craig, ce groupe qui compose eux-mêmes leurs morceaux se voient gratifiés sur les deux années qui suivront 8 de leurs titres dans le top10 musical. 

lIs ont aussi, comme la plupart des futurs boys band, sombré corps et biens dans un anonymat truffé de problèmes personnels (dettes terribles pour le chanteur haut perché), de déveines (drames personnels) ou de problèmes de santé.

 
When will I
will I be famous?

You're suitably at one with your body
and the sun
yes
you are!
You've read Karl Marx and you've taught yourself to dance

You're the best by far!
But you keep asking the question

oh
you're not supposed to mention.

When will I
will I be famous?
I can't answer
I can't answer that.
When will I see my picture in the paper?
I can't answer
I can't answer that.

When will I
will I be famous? You keep asking me
babe.

You're a slave to fashion and your life is full of passion

It's the way you are!
You've suffered for your art with the iogging in the park

You know you should go far!
But you keep asking the question
oh

you're not supposed to mention.

When will I
will I be famous? . . .

Oh
I can't tell you when you'll see your name up in lights.
When will I
will I be famous? You keep asking me
babe.
I can't wait!

You won't suffer in silence

You're a talent
you know that I've noticed

You'd like to be a legend
a big star over night!

I can't answer your question

- I can't wait -
it's driving me insane

And you're impossible in patience
tearing at my brain!

When will I
will I be famous?
I can't answer
I can't answer that.
When will I
will I be famous?
I can't answer
I can't answer that.
When will I
will I be famous?
I can't answer
I can't answer that.

A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry.
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry.
You tell me that you love me ev'ry day.
When we're alone I really feel in love.
But when we're at a friends house you are changed

You treat me bad
I feel I'm sick in bed.
I want your love
give me your love -
That's how I feel
I want it to be real.
I want your love
give me your love -
I need you just and I - I owe you so much.
A -E-A -E -I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry. . . .
Do you really like something you say

I know you do
it makes me so confused.
I'm sure this is the way that you're to play

Let's get it right
it's much too good to lose.
I want your love
give me your love -
That's how I feel and I want it to be real.
I want your love
give me your love

I need your touch and I - I owe you so much.
A - E - A - E - I - O - U - U - I sometimes cry. . . .
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry. . . .
I need you back
I want you back
give me your love.
I need you back
I want you back
give me your love.
Girl
girl
I know I owe you so much

But can I pay you with just
with just one touch?
And girl
I know you care -
I'll never love another to that
to that I'll swear.

A -E-A -E -I-O -U-U -I sometimes cry. . . .
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry....

Gina X Performance "No G.D.M" (1979)

 

Gina X Performance voit le jour à Cologne, Allemangne dans les années 7O, formé de la très charismatique Gina Kikoine (chant et paroles) et de l'auteur-producteur-musicien Zeus B.Held.

Entre 1979 et 1984, le groupe sort 4 albums arthouse/electro-disco:  Nice Mover, X-Traordinaire, Voyeur et Yinglish.

En 1979, leur titre "No G.D.M" devenu aujourd'hui un classique devient un hit club des deux cotés de l'Atlantique. le titre est dédicacé à Quentin Crisp, célèbre icône gay des 70's, en réponse à sa remarque sur les "Great Dark Man".

Revival: le 23 Aout  2003, l'exellent label Internationnal Deejay Gigolo sort son 108ème maxi incluant un remix du single par Pablo Clements et Paul Mogg aka The Psychonauts, un remix de Headman (Robi Insinna), ainsi qu'un dernier de  Cat O'Nine Tale.

 

 

Wanna be a great dark man,
Being but a lesbian.
You are perfect you are sheer,
If you are a red haired queer.

That's life, one dice,
C'est la vie, ma cherie,
But it really doesn't matter.

No gdm, no great dark man
No gdm, no great dark man

There won't be a great dark man
If I am a red haired queer
You are perfect, you are sheer
If you are a red haired queer

Tel aviv, had a sniff,
C'est la vie, ma cherie,
But it really doesn't matter.

Yellow teeth between pink lips,
I like sher with a crazy lock
Perfume behind a lobe of ear,
Rouge on my face hides my beard.
Long violet finger nails,
I adore those magic tales,
I don't mind, I don't mind

Wanna be a great dark man,
Being but a lesbian.
You are perfect you are sheer,
If you are a rat tat queer.

That's life, one dice,
C'est la vie, ma cherie,
Tel aviv, had a sniff,

 En 1983, plein boom de l'italo-disco, Charlie aka Maurice Cavalieri ose nous pondre le petit bijou hypnotique qu'est Spacer Woman, qu'il produit lui même sur Mr Disc Organization .

23 ans après, l'Italien Gianluca Pandullo aka I-Robots le revisite à sa sauce pour nous le servir version electro allemande sur Boysnoize records, c'est un carton, preuve que ce morceau demeure intemporel.

Roxette est un groupe qui voit le jour en 1984 à Halmstad en Suède.

Formé du guitariste Per Gessle & de la chanteuse Marie Fredriksson, le groupe squatte la tête des chats en 1988 avec le single 'The Look", véritable bombe outre-atlantique qui s'en suit de "It Must Have Been Love" sur la B.O de Pretty Woman, qui marquera toute une époque.

 

 

 

 

1-2-3-4
Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look
Heavenly bound cos heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour
Her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look

She's got the look (she's got the look)
She's got the look (she's got the look)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la
She's got the look

Fire in the ice, naked to the T-bone
Is a lover's disguise, banging on the head drum
Shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look
Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer
She's a miracle man, loving is the ocean
Kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look

She's got the look (she's got the look)
She's got the look (she's got the look)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la
She's got the look

Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look
And she goes....

Na na na na na......
She's got the look

Le Tigre "Deceptacon" DFA remix (27 mars 2006)

 

Le Tigre est un groupe electro/pop/new wave Américain qui voit le jour en 1998.

Actuellement composé de ses 3 membres: Kathleen Hanna,  Johanna Fateman et  JD Samson, le groupe a su s'imposer grâce à des morceaux originaux aux paroles parfois surprenantes, parfois incongrues, parfois drôles...

En 2006 pour leur Deceptacon, les anglais de DFA (death from above) aka LCD soundsystem se chargent d'un remix disco de la mort qui tue.

Who took the bomp?

Every day and night
Every day and night
I can see your disco disco dick is sucking my heart out of my mind
I'm outta time
I'm outta fuckin time
I'm a gasoline gut with a vaseline mind, but
Wanna disco?
Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticise my rhyme.
One! Two! Three! Four!
You got what you been asking for.
You're so policy free and you're fantasy wheels and everything you think
and everything you feel is alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

I take you home, now watch me get you hot
You're just a parrot and you're screaming and you're shouting
More crackers please, more crackers please
You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees
Who does your... who does your hair?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?

How are you?
Fine, thank you.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.

You bought a new van the first year of your band.
You're cool and I hardly wanna say "not" because I'm so bored
that I'll be entertained even by a stupid, fucking linoleum floor, linoleum floor
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor
I'll walk on it
I'll walk all over you
Walk on it, walk on it, walk on, One, Two!

Who? Who? Who? Who?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?

See you later
See you later
See you later
See you later

Ultra Orange "Little Girl" (1996)

 

Ceux qui ont vécu l'année 1996 savent qu'elle aura été musicalement assez riche, laissant leurs chanves à des artistes en devenir.

Au rayon O.V.N.I cette année la tu retrouves les français d'Ultra -Orange qui viennt squatter les charts avec leur single "Littl" Girl".

Soyons réalistes, très peu d'entre-nous se rappellent de ce morceau là, (peut-être un peu avant gardiste pour l'époque), apart peut-être une poignée d'elus dans la vingtaine; ou comment être un ado coupé-décalé pendant que les copines adulent les boysband...

 

 
Little Girl
Wants to be a princess
Wants to ride
On a far-off planet

Anita Ward- Ring My Bell (1979)

 

Le 20 décembre 1956, Anita Ward (c'est son vrai nom) nait à Memphis, Tenessee.

C'est sur les bancs d'écoles quelques années plus tard, en intégrant le "Rust Collège Accapella Choir", qu'elle renconte celui qui sera son futur manager:Chuck Holmes,  qui lui fraye un chemin jusqu'à Juana records, label indépendant créé par Frederic Knight.

En 1979, les stations de radios prennent une claque intersidérale avec la sortie de son 1er single "Ring My Bell" (écrit par Frederic Knight), qui reste à ce jour un des morceaux disco les plus connus de tous les temps. Paradoxe: Anita n'a jamais été attirée par le disco et n'avait pas l'ambition de devenir une "Disco-Queen". Aujourd'hui elle ne veut plus avoir à chanter "Ring My Bell" et se concentre plutot sur des ballades...

 

I'm glad you're home
Now did you really miss me
I guess you did by the look in your eyes (look in your eyes, look in your eyes)
Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes (put away the dishes)
Then you and me can rock-a-bye

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell

The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long than I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell

you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong)
you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong, ring it!)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it oww!)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong)

you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong)
you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong, ring it!)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it oww!)
you can ring my bell, anytime, anyway
(ding, dong, ding, do-ong)

We started dancing
And love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move
The music played
While our bodies
Displayed through the dance

Then love picked us out for romance
I thought it was clear
The plan was we would share
This feeling just between ourselves
But when the music changed
The plan was re-arranged
He went to dance with someone else

We started dancing
And love put us into a groove
But now he's with somebody new
What does love want me to do

Love said
Let the music play
He won't get away
Just keep the groove
And then he'll come back to you again
(Let it play)
Let the music play
He won't get away
This groove he can't ignore
He won't leave you anymore
No, no, no

He tried pretending
A dance is just a dance
But I see
He's dancing his way back to me

Guess he's discovered
We are truly lovers
Magic from the very start
'Cause love just kept me groovin'
And he felt me movin'
Even though we danced apart

So we started dancing
And love put us into the groove
As soon as we started to move
As soon as we started to move

Love said
Let the music play
He won't get away
Just keep the groove
And then he'll come back to you again
(Let it play)
Let the music play
He won't get away
This groove he can't ignore
He won't leave you anymore
No, no, no

He tried pretending
A dance is just a dance
But I see
He's dancing his way back to me
He's dancing his way back to me

Love said
(Let the music play)
Let the music play
(He won't get away)
Just keep the groove
And then he'll come back to you again
(Let it play)
Let the music play
He won't get away...
