Happy hour
4.8.2007 | 13:28
Ég heyrđi undursamlegt lag áđan og fékk nostalgíukast og kjánahroll samtímis. Ţetta er auđvitađ bara alger snilld og skemmtun í sínu tćrasta formi. Lagiđ heitir Happy hour og kom út áriđ 1986. Áriđ sem Reykjavík fagnađi 200 ára afmćli sínu og flestir voru međ blásiđ hár og sítt ađ aftan, íklćddir ađ ţví er virtist alltof stórum fötum ţökk sé ofvöxnum axlapúđum.
Flytjandi lagsins er hljómsveitin The Housemartins sem var stofnuđ áriđ 1983. Međal stofnenda voru Paul Heaton sem síđar átti stórkostlegan feril međ The Beautiful South og Norman Cook sem međ töfrum breyttist í Fatboy Slim.
Happy hour fór í ţriđja sćti breska smáskífulistans sem var nćstbesti árangur ţessarra geđţekku pilta frá Hull, ţví Caravan of Love smellti sér í toppsćtiđ í nóvember 1986.
Hljómsveitin hélt áfram ađ gefa út lög og plötur en náđi aldrei viđlíka söluárangri og međ ţessi tvö lög. Stóru plöturnar ţeirra hétu ţeim snilldarnöfnum London 0 Hull 4 og The People who grinned themselves to death auk safnplötunnar Now, that´s what I call quite good (sennilega paródía á NOW safnplöturnar sem seldust eins og heitar lummur, ţá og síđar).
The Housemartins slitu samvistum áriđ 1988 en félagarnir hafa unniđ mikiđ saman síđan en hafa aldrei viljađ koma saman undir nafni hljómsveitarinnar.
Ég lćt textann viđ Happy hour fylgja međ til gleđi og upplyftingar (og vona ađ ég verđi ekki lögsóttur fyrir vikiđ):
It's happy hour again
I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
And they're happy it's a lovely place to be
Happy that the fire is real the barman is a she
Where the haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the boss
Where you win or you lose
And its them who choose
And if you don't win then you've lost
What a good place to be
Don't believe her
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me
{It's happy hour again}
Don't believe her oh no
'Cause its never really happened to me
{It's happy hour again}
oh woah woah
It's another night out with the boss
Following in footsteps overgrown with moss
And he tells me that women grow on trees
And if you catch them right they will land upon their knees
Where they open all their wallets
And they close all their minds
And they love to buy you all a drink
And then we ask all the questions
And you take all your clothes off
And go back to the kitchen sink
What a good place to be
Don't believe her
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me
{It's happy hour again}
Don't believe her oh no
'Cause its never really happened to me
{It's happy hour again}
woah woah woah woah ho
What a good place to be
Don't believe her
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me
{It's happy hour again}
Don't believe her oh no
'Cause its never really happened to me
{It's happy hour again}
Don't believe her
Don't believe her
Doooooooon't believe her
Its happy hour again, and again, and again
Its happy hour again, and again, and again
Its happy hour again, and again, and again
Its happy hour again
Athugasemdir
Alveg hreint merkileg tilviljun. Sit í sófanum međ góđa bók, einmitt um Quentin Cook a.k.a Norman Cook a.k.a Fatboy slim. Er einmitt ađ lesa um Housemartinstímann en tók mér eilitla pásu til ađ netsörfa ađeins. Eđalslagari frá ţeim. "Flag Day" er líka klassík
