Tema N° 90: Walk on the Wild Side

No quería acordarme que tenía que escribir pero ayer me lo recordaron así que ahora es inevitable. Además como que no me gusta mucho esta canción así que no tenía mucha motivación.

Pero viendo ahora la letra estoy cambiando de opinión... nah =P. Pero igual es mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Cuenta la historia de varias personas que viven o que han llegado a Nueva York, que coinciden misteriosamente con los nombres de ciertos actores famosos y con algunas tendencias extrañas. De todas maneras la letra es bastante cruda, y el coro sólo un llamado a hacer cosas que salen de lo común... aunque tanto así como sale? no creo.

90 - Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
She said, Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
doo do doo do doo do do doo

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place where they said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey Joe
Take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen 'em go go go
They said, Hey sugar
Take a walk on the wild side
I Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, Hey babe,
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey honey,
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say,
doo do doo do doo do do doo
