Una garbata
presa in giro della retorica risorgimentale che annoiava gli studenti di
un tempo (ora il problema è risolto, a scuola praticamente il
Risorgimento si salta). L'originale è un classico rhythm & blues inciso
per primo da Little Willie John e proposto da molti altri interpreti,
sino a regine del jazz come Ella Fitzgerald, e anche riproposta in tempi
recenti da quella splendida interprete di cover che è stata Eva Cassidy,
nel suo unico album dal vivo "Live At Blues Alley".
Testo ovviamente e volutamente indipendente dall'originale.
Fever
Never know how
much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me
fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night
Everybody's
got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved
Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her,
He said Julie, baby, you're my flame.
Thou givest fever
When we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I'm a fire
Fever, yay, I burn forsooth
Captain Smith
and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him,
She said daddy, no, don't you dare
He gives me fever,
With his kisses, fever when he holds me tight
Fever I'm his Mrs.
Daddy, won' t you treat him right
Now you've
listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it farenheit or centigrade
They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live, you learn
Fever, till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
