Mi hanno chiesto quale sia la mia canzone preferita nel vasto repertorio di "Weird Al" Yankovic. Non ho particolari dubbi…
Qui il video (che merita…)
"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."
― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
Mi hanno chiesto quale sia la mia canzone preferita nel vasto repertorio di "Weird Al" Yankovic. Non ho particolari dubbi…

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

Anne Michaels is a Toronto‑based Canadian writer who first gained attention as a poet before becoming internationally recognised for her fiction. Her writing is poetic and meditative, blending philosophical reflection on history, trauma, and ethics, and she’s best known for her debut novel Fugitive Pieces

Born Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis in Alexandria in 1863, the poet known as C.P. Cavafy is regarded as the greatest modern Greek poet, though he spent much of his life in the cosmopolitan world of Alexandria. He wrote only about 200 poems, many of them published

Ma a te immagino piaccia solo quella… non ti ci faccio un’appassionata di hip-hop… ;p
Sbaglio ?

Posted at 09:55h, 26 NovemberIo 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!

Posted at 10:13h, 26 NovemberSpiderCi, 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.

Posted at 11:04h, 26 NovemberAllora, 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!
