"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Paradises

Mi hanno chiesto quale sia la mia canzone preferita nel vasto repertorio di "Weird Al" Yankovic. Non ho particolari dubbi…

Memoirs of Hadrian

Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987) was a Belgian-born French novelist, essayist, poet, and translator who became the first woman elected to the Académie française in 1980. No, I’m not kidding. Her full name was Marguerite Antoinette Jeanne Marie Ghislaine Cleenewerck de Crayencour; “Yourcenar” began as a pen

    Io ho sempre adorato “Like a Surgeon”, ma ora scopro che me ne sono persa qualcuna, magari dopo aver recuperato il tempo perduto cambio idea…

    …comunque “Amish Paradise” è uno spettacolo, non posso darti torto!

    SpiderCi, no, in realtà mi piace abbastanza anche se non è il mio genere preferito (ma è difficile definire quale sia *__^)

    Lupo, anche “Like a Surgeon” in effetti non è male (come la coppia “Eat it!” e “Fat”). Conosci “E-bay”? Qui un video amatoriale.

    Allora, mi sono aggiornato un po’, e ho aggiunto altre quattro canzono che mi fanno morire:

    Ebay (splendida, nulla da eccepire)

    Spam (perchè mi piace parecchio l’originale e questa versione è azzeccatissima)

    Ode to a Superhero (ma forse è meglio “The saga begins”)

    e infine, per tecnica di esecuzione, posso eleggere la mia preferita:

    “Another one rides the bus”!

    Con fisarmonica e trombette è semplicemente geniale!

    “The saga begins” è GENIALE! Ma vogliamo parlare della “pubblicità progresso” Don’t download this song? (eccezionale video qui)
