Dee Rangers en España

Aprovechando que los Dee Rangers, "reyes del garage-beat sueco", andan de gira por nuestro país, recomiendo a todos los que tengan la oportunidad de verles, sean fans o no de este estilo, que no se los pierdan.

La banda, con miembros repartidos entre Estocolmo (la mayoría), Londres (el polifacético Parsley "the Lion") y Madrid (Per, el cantante blanco con voz de negro) está presentando su nuevo album Blue Swedes, que igual que su predecesor Five Spanish Minutes editará Screaming Apple. Yo me hice fan hace tres años cuando les vi por primera vez y mañana no me los pierdo.

A continuación un fragmento de una de las canciones que grabaron en su visita a España en 2004 (lo siento por los huecos, pero mis tres años de filología inglesa no me dan para más). Para escucharla con música, id a alguno de sus conciertos y convencerles para que la toquen.

Paul McCartney

There's a songwriter who's really good

and if you haven't heard him yet, you know you should

there isn't anyone who's done as much as him

and it's not just because he's got the money

He was born and played in Liverpool

with some other guys he met at school

he's just such a cool guy you'd want to be the same

and you'd better not forget his name

I want to be like Paul McCartney

be as rich as I can be

have celebrities round to lunch

say that ... are worse than rum punch

Get my wife to sing in my band

give my kids a helping hand

wear my suit, and look real cute

I want to be like Paul McCartney

You know, to be like him,

would be my dream

he even played a version

of the "Crossroads" theme

and if you heard his new songs

I bet that you'd like some

and you'd think the best must be a to come
