A ver si va...

Tenía un montón de entradas escritas en mi cabeza (aparte de las de la calvicie incipiente), pero se me han olvidado. Lo que me ha vuelto a inspirar es la posibilidad (que he visto en otros blogs) de incluir vídeos de YouTube, así que estoy probando. ¿Y por qué? Porque ahora estoy completamente obsesionado con una canción de Fountains of Wayne, un delicioso grupo americano de power-pop. Se titula "Sick day". Esto es una versión en directo en Madrid, seguramente no se aprecia toda la grandeza de esta pequeña maravilla pero lo redondeo con la letra, pura poesía cotidiana (caramelo envenenado que diría aquél):

SICK DAY

Check out the girl in the Harbor Tunnel
Crawling to work six feet under
And the day has barely begun
They're all chewing gum

And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station
Lead us not into Penn Station
Cause the best part's just begun
We're all becoming one again

And she's making the scene
With the coffee and cream
And the copy machine's not working
She's a hell of a girl
She's alone in the world
And she likes to say hey good lookin'
She's on her way
She's taking a sick day..soon

And here is the man pushing paper past her
Thinks up ways to make the day go faster
But the day goes on and on
He dreams of his lawn

And all about
the pretty careerist
the next cube over
The fat secretary,
the lunchtime lovers
'Til the path train finally comes
The platform's full of bums again

And she's making the scene
With the coffee and cream
And the copy machine's not working
She's a hell of a girl
She's alone in the world
And she likes to say hey good lookin'
She's on her way
She's taking a sick day..soon

And she's taking her time
As she's tossing a dime
At the man in the cardboard coffin
It doesn't have to be fine
She's ahead of the line
And doesn't have to be here too often
She's making a play
She's taking a sick day..soon

PD: Estoy tan pillado por esta canción que se me ha ocurrido hacer una selección de canciones geniales con la palabra "día". Ya sé, stiff, "tiene" que estar "Un buen día". Se admiten sugerencias
