Da qualche parte qui sotto (nel NG ndt) avevo
chiesto il testo di una canzone contenuta nella colomba sonora di Animal
House e della quale avrò cannato alla grande le poche parole che ricordavo.
Ma non sono solo, a quanto vedo... :)
Questo è un post (pungente, ma non credo di aver colto tutte le battute, e
spero non siano troppo 'politically incorrect') tratto dall'Urban Legends

Okay, you asked for it! Here are the parody lyrics to "Louie
Louie" as printed in Bloom County (in the compilation "Night of the
Mary Kay Commandos" - it's a color Sunday strip). Enjoy!
   CAMPAIGN SPECIAL
On September 10th, each of the presidential campaigns was
given a recording of the Kingsmen's 1963 classic party song, "Louie
Louie". Each candidate was asked to do his best at deciphering the
totally indecipherable lyrics. We found the results veeeery
revealing.
Below are the actual lyrics as written by R. Berry in 1955:
Louie Louie, me gotta go
Louie Louie, me gotta go
Fine little girl she waits for me
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
Me sail the ship all alone
Me never thinks me make it home
(chorus)
Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair
(chorus, guitar solo)
Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long, me see my love
I take her in my arms and then
Me tell her I never leave again
[Editors Note.  The lyrics are also reprinted in _The Straight Dope_
by Cecil Adams on page 317.  --TWC]
The lyrics to "Louie Louie" as heard by Michael Dukakis:
Louie oo-i, we go go
Louie oo-i, we go go
If I lip curl away afro bee
Catsup (expletive) cross from me
Me sail ship o' state all alone
Mar-aschino cherries at home
(chorus)
Greek mice he fail to see
Need more tax, oh frequently
Kitty she lead me ev'rywhere   <---- AHA!
Ring in my-a nose, falafel hair
(chorus, etc)
...As heard by George Bush:
Louie Lou-i, Winne-bago
Louie Lou-i, Winne-bago
The wimp thing no no me
Me catch shrapnel o'er sea
Me toss Ann Richards a bone
Meaner stinks meat bake it cone  <--- ?
(chorus, garbled stanza)
Mes-sy Paul Anka moons a dove  <--- Must mean something! ed.
Ted Kennedy along, me like to shove
Take Bent-sen and qualms begin
Iran-Contra thing makes me phlegm
(chorus)
...As heard by Bill D. Cat:
Louie Lou-i, ne ga go  <--- reveals a simple honesty
Louie Lou-i, ne ga go
Ee fi li curl way fra nee <--- reveals a simple honesty
Ee cat-ta shi fo kra-see
Ne sait a shi auuuu lome
Ee newa fwo ma-make I ome
(chorus)
Ree nie (garbled) ail zee
Me tink (garbled) ee (garbled)
(garbled) dwee Li'l Friskies
(garbled) ack
(garbled)
(guitar solo)
That's it. I hope this was entertaining. All the arrows and stuff in
parentheses is in the original strip, including the part that says
"expletive". Too bad Bloom County ended though.. I like it better
than "Outland".

Ora mi rispondo da solo, Non bastava essermi rimesso a parlare da solo con
lo specchio. Devo pure spendere in corrente e telefono per dare i numeri.
Meno male che il mio fido coniglio Harvey passa a trovarmi ogni tanto...
Vero Harvey? Harvey...? Ehi Harvey, dove sei...?
Buona Pasqua.

  Cercare di semplificare i problemi e` l'obiettivo,
 pensare che siano semplici e` la strada sbagliata (Gigi Mancinelli)

Errata Corrige:
  A Pasqua...
  Non vorrei che qualche madrelingua pensasse che Pasqua si scriva
minuscolo, incorrendo magari in qualche possibile offesa a cattolici...
