uma ida ao baú - Jump (Van Halen)

!986

Sempre a década de oitenta. A melhor década musical de sempre. E dificilmente será superada.

Os irmãos Eddie e Alex Van Halen compuseram e o enérgico Sammy Hagar, que tinha acabado de substituir o carismático David Lee Roth, cantava talvez a canção mais apelativa do melhor trabalho de sempre dos Van Halen: Jump do álbum 5150.

Desse álbum prefiro Why Can't This Be Love, mas acontece que na segunda feira passada, numa aula de jump, o tema JUmp apareceu no seu alinhamento.

Além de obviamente ser adequada ao que estava a fazer, fez-me recordar que também na altura saltava em casa ao som deste tema.

Jump!!
Jump!!
Jump!!
Jump!!

I get up, and nothin' gets me down

You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around

And I know, baby, just how you feel

You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real

Ah, can't you see me standin' here

I got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen

Ah, can't you see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump

(Jump)

Might as well jump

Go ahead an' jump (jump)

Go ahead and jump

Ow oh, hey you

Who said that?

Baby, how you been?

You say you don't know

You won't know until you begin

So can't ya see me standing here

I got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen

Ah, can't you see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump

(Jump)

Go ahead and jump

Might as well jump (jump)

Go ahead and jump

Jump

Might as well jump (jump)

Go ahead and jump

Get it in, jump (jump)

Go ahead and jump

Jump

Jump

Jump
