Ciao a tutti guys, a bordo del mio yoth in compagnia delle mie squinzie, sotto il solleone del mediterraneo, ben presto salperemo a formentera per una visitina alle Baleari, ma vorrei un poco occuparmi di un cantante del passato anche perchè lo sto ascoltando proprio ora:
Torniamo un poco indietro, a quei film un po retrò Hollywood anni 50, con quel romanticismo languido, humprey bogard, james dean, rita hayword, marylin monroe, bianco e nero d’annata.
Ascoltando questa mitica raccolta sembra quasi di assistere ai (falsi) ritratti di vita dell’epoca del doo-woop, del "Mr. Sandman" delle Chordettes, dei "Magic Moments" di Perry Como rifatta da Orbison , delle villette a schiera.
Ma gli anni ’50 sono ovunque in questo disco, nelle scenografie immaginarie, nei costumi, nelle automobili, Quando le donne avevano ancora le gonne, oggi o sono nude come le mie squinzie o sono vestite da maschi sia nel corpo che nello spirito ahimè.
Roy orbison, l’anti elvis, ma anche il re dei lenti: come blue bayou, come it’over, come only the lonely
California blue, corsa sulla spiaggia di un america che iniziava a corrompersi agli occhi del mondo.
The crowd, fatti abbracciare tu donna inconsapevolmente perduta tra sfingi di uomini-ominidi degli anni 2000 , piccoli così ed estremamente meschini e superficiali.
Uomini a metà tra autocommiserazione per una missione persa. Essere veri maschi .
In dreams, portata a nuova vita dal blue velvet lynchiano, dream baby, col suo piglio presleiano, impossibile non muoversi col suo ritmo rock and roll, impossibile non fare la mossetta pelvica.
Working for the man, trascinosa con i suoi coretti doo wap wap.
Claudette e sono in pista i vostri avi nei rituali pre-coitus ( mentre oggi prima coitus e poi se rimane tempo balli eminem)
Nostalgia malinconica e ciò che rimane da questi scorci di vita e di amori persi, veri melodrammi orchestrali
Running scared , enfatica liturgia con la voce sontuosa di orbison , e suon d’orchestra a cascata come uno di quelle cerimonie sinatriane tra sfarzo mafioso retrò e paillettes .
Oh pretty woman , grande successo dell’estate 1964, portata a nuova vita nel 1990 dall’omonimo film con richard gere e julia roberts
Blue angel, ancora tanto tanto amorrrre
Mean woman blues cover dal vivo della trascinante rock and roll di presley
Love hurts , vecchio fotogramma di un gran filmone immaginario hollywoodiano anni 50, rita hayword , lacrima sul volto, funerale, assiste al tuo funerale, sotto la cappa di questa litania malinconica, e tu che in realtà non sei morto ma hai montato tutto guardi il tuo funerale in lontananza sotto lapioggia, e ti accendi un cubano, mentre tu novello brando con un ghigno d’intima soddisfazione sorridi e ti allontani.
Crying , versione spagnola nel film mulholand drive di david lynch, per chi non lo sa è cantata al teatro dalla lirica spagnola che canta a capella in playback.
Sono tutti pezzi leggendari ossignori
Anything you want you got it, singolo della rinascita artistica di orbison degli anni 80, chi non ha mai cantato il ritornello alzi la mano?
Chi sa se oggi esiste ancora qualche vecchia testa che balla ancor i lenti su queste melodie ultraterrene?
Io lo faccio ancora nonostante sia un gggiovane della cosiddetta X generation, e credetemi, trombo come un riccio marino……..perché alle donne di gran classe queste cose toccano ancora per fortuna, ma solo a quelle di classe,
come Annie ad esempio, la biondina dei lenti di Orbison, Annie , non me l’hai mai data, ma è stato lo stesso magnetico annusarla su queste note.
Il solleone mi sta cuocendo il portatile, e ora di chiudere, anche perché le squinzie mi chiamano, vorranno cambiar rotta? De eh eh eh, o è solo che hanno voglia un po di Vic paparino e di fureeeesstaaaaa?
un saluto a tutti da Vic Sorriso alla proxima.

04 Devil Doll (02:11)
Devil Doll..........Devil Doll
We went steady in the fall,
we broke up in the spring
your young lovin blinds,
and you gave me back my ring
Well I see now what my friends saw then,
that you're just not the one
to love someone true
the way I love you,
oh devil doll
Now I'm not the first one
and I won't be the last,
you'll make my heart
just another heart you've broken in the past
Don't play a game with another guy,
don't make me feel so blue,
I'm a guy that's true and I love you
oh devil doll
Now I'm not the first one
don't let me be the last,
don't make my heart
just another heart you've broken in the past,
Don't play a game with another guy,
don't make me feel so blue,
I'm a guy that's true and I love you
oh devil doll (devil doll)

Uptown, in penhouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen, oh ho ha
Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say
That one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
08 I'm Hurtin' (02:49)
Felt this way yesterday,
Today I keep hurtin', yeah hurtin'
Time goes by, right on by, and I,
I'm still hurtin', yeah hurtin'.
You walked away, the pain began,
I knew I'd never love again.
Oh my heart tore apart,
And I'm sure hurtin', yeah hurtin'.
You walked away, the pain begain,
I knew I'd never love again.
Seems to me my destiny
Is to be just hurtin', yeah hurtin.
09 Running Scared (02:14)
Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson
Just runnin’ scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin’ scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you
Just runnin’ scared, feelin’ low
Runnin’ scared, you love him so
Just runnin’ scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose
Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.
11 Crying (02:48)
Roy: I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
KD: THEN I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
WHEN you stopped to say hello
Roy: You wished me well
You couldn't tell that
I've been crying over you,
crying over you And you said "So long" Left me
standing all alone, alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand can start me crying
I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you, crying over you
Roy: Yes now you're gone
Both: And from this moment on, I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you
14 Leah (02:45)
Hey, Leah Leah
Hey, Leah Leah
Here I go
From the hut to the boat to the sea for Leah
Uh huh! I gotta go diving in the bay
Gotta get a lot of oysters
Find some pearls today
To make a pretty necklace for Leah
Leah
I gotta go deep and find the ones just right
I'll bet my Leah will be surprised tonight
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me
Leah
But something's wrong
I cannot move around
My leg is caught
It's pulling me down
But I'll keep my hands shut tight for if they find me
They'll find the pearl for Leah
And now it's over
I'm awake at last
Oh, heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
About Leah
Hey, Leah Leah
Hey, Leah Leah
Here I go
Back to sleep and in my dreams
I'll be with Leah
Leah
Leah
15 In Dreams (02:51)
Roy Orbison
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep. Everything is all right."
I close my eyes, Then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerLike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream My dreams of you.
In dreams I walk with you. In dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you're mine. All of the time we're together
In dreams, In dreams.
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.
It's too bad that all these things, Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams In beautiful dreams.
16 Falling (02:28)
Roy Orbison
I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love with you
Baby, Come closer closer to me, And listen listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that I told you that I loved you
It wasn't true,I used you,And you were just someone new
To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, I've kissed you now
So forgive me forgive me somehow
Hold me tight for tonight, Then tell me truth
If you still love me, Say that you love me
Don't leave me now
Now that I'm falling for you
I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love, Falling in love with you
17 Blue Bayou (02:49)
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working 'till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back some day come what may to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be
Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou
I'm going back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
