Música y videos – Sly (The Cat Empire)

Una banda australiana con espíritu gamberro que mezcla el jazz de sus orígenes con lo que se lo ponga por delante: ska, funk, rap o sones latinos Canciones que a veces recuerdan los mejores momentos de Mano Negra, esos en los que el mestizaje era total y colorista. Y aunque, en otras ocasiones, los ritmos sean más comerciales, por lo menos siempre le ponen un punto personal y trasgresor marca de la casa.

Quizás tengan temas más conocidos (Brighter Than Gold, Still Young o The Car Song), pero esta canción es perfecta para saber de qué estamos hablando cuando escuchamos la música del Imperio del Gato.

If frizzy hair was a metaphor

For festival time,

Then this woman is a goddess

Of that festival shrine, met her

At a jam in that garden of sorts.

I must confess, god bless,

some impure thoughts.

"Show us the money!"

Was the call of the night,

But no money could have bought

Even a piece of the pride, there might

Have been a sea of people;

I don't know, because

All I could see

Was that this woman, she glowed so.

Why, it's a pleasure to meet you;

Ya look like one incredible creature.

Wanna treat you fine,

Lets dance and grind,

Get so funk-inflicted it's a crime.

You're divine, you're sublime,

And, well, you blow my mind!

You're so sly!

She caterpillar, so good

That all the Greeks go "Killa!"

Break and enter, take ya like a glass of milk

Then "spill ya!"

Saw her coming, what a scene;

What I mean is

She got that sex coffee beam,

But she tastes like vanilla.

Well alright, she ignite

When we hit the floor

Like the vroom on a super Commodore.

Now, if it makes a good story,

Well it's just worthwhile;

With her it's like dealing stories

In the sprinkler style.

It's so sly!

Oh...do the Louis!

Do the ch-ch-ch-chili! (Waah!)

Do the boom-shak, hit-the-sack, back-seats feeling alright! (Feeling alright)

Do the monkey shuffle!

Rock it with a fine strut!

Do the late checkout with a do-not-disturb sign outsi-i-ide!

And do the sly...
