Versiones imposibles: Walk this way

Me gusta mucho Aerosmith, desde hace muchos, muchos años... por tanto cuando escucho algo así, de verdad que me sorprende. Creo que debería establecerse una ley en la que no se permitiera a tantos artistas pop hacer versiones de clásicos del hard rock.

Aunque sea por una causa benéfica, como tal es el caso de esta versión, que es el single de la organización benéfica Comic Relief para este año 2007. Corre por parte de Girls Aloud y Sugababes, dos de las girl-bands británicas más populares del momento.

No es la primera vez que artistas pop se atreven con este single de Aerosmith. Si no ved esta actuación en directo de los propios Aerosmith acompañados por N'Sync, Britney Spears, Mary J Blige y Nelly, realizada en un descanso de la Superbowl. En mi opinión Nelly es prácticamente el único a la altura en este caso.

Backstroke lover always hidin neath the cover
Still I talked to your daddy he say
He said you aint seen noting
till youre down on a muffin
Then youre sure to be a-changin your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can remaniesse
cause the best thing lovin
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin up in the air
Singin hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin like you just didnt care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin
cause she knew what she was doin
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this!

School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So I gave her just a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin up in the air
Singin hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin like you just didnt care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin
cause she knew what she was doin
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss - like this!


Nota friki: El título de esta canción está inspirado en una frase de la película "El jovencito Frankestein" dicha por el personaje de Igor. Al parecer era una broma típica de las películas de Mel Brooks que hace referencia a que "way" en inglés puede significar tanto dirección como modo.
