Ghost of Stephen Foster... de Squirrel Nut Zippers
No tengo más excusa para poner este video que me apetecía poner algo de fantasmas, me plantee
Weighty Ghost de Wintersleep o Ghost under the rocks de Ra Ra Riot, pero esta canción de Squirrel Nut Zippers siempre ha tenido algo que me ha fascinado. Me preguntaba quien pudo ser Stephen Foster para dedicarle una canción a su fantasma. Al parecer fue uno de los primeros cantautores, ya en el siglo XIX. Entre sus obras quizás la más memorable a este lado del charco es Oh! Susanna, y la letra es un homenaje ya que incluye el título de varias de sus canciones que 150 años después siguen siendo conocidas.

Met the Ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise
This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes:
Rooms were made for carpets,
Towers made for spires,
Ships were made for cannonade fire off from inside them
(Chorus): Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day no, no, no (End Chorus)
(Chorus)
Met the Ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise
This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes:
Ships were made for sinking,
Whiskey made for drinking,
If we were made of cellophane, we'd all get stinking drunk quite faster ha, ha, ha
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
