Continuamos nuestra disertación sobre bases de canciones con dos grandes éxitos: "Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)" del grupo sueco ABBA y el más actual "Hung up" de Madonna.
Madonna tuvo que escribir una carta en un tono muy humilde para que Benny Andersson y Bjorn Ulvaeus, los dos compositores del grupo sueco, accedieran a dejarla utilizar la base del tema. "Les envié un emisario con una copia de la canción y una carta, rogándoles, implorándoles y diciéndoles cuánto adoro su música", declaró la cantate para The Sun.
Según el periódico londinense Benny Andersson comentó que "recibimos muchas peticiones de gente que quiere usar nuestros temas, pero normalmente les decimos que no. Esta es sólo la segunda vez que aceptamos. A Madonna le dijimos que sí porque la admiramos y porque su canción nos parece maravillosa. Cien por cien puro pop".
Así que aquí las tenéis. A disfrutarlas...
Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Aquí os dejo el vídeo de los suecos...
Madonna - Hung Up
Time goes by... so slowly
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up
I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done
I'm hangin' up on you
I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'cause I'll find my way
You'll wake up one day
But it'll be too late
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing (Every little thing)
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call (Waiting for your call)
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by... so slowly
I don't know what to do
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing (Every little thing)
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call (Waiting for your call)
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Y aquí os dejo el de Madonna...
