Mucha gente no recuerda o no conoce esta canción. Temazo.
Murray Head
"Say it ain't so, Joe"
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe,
Please tell us it ain't so.
They told us our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on.
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile,
But the good old days have gone.
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together,
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe
And they're ruining our show.
Oh babies don't you think we're gonna get burned
Oh babies don't you think we're gonna get burned
We're gonna get turned, we're gonna get learned
Yes, we're gonna get turned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
Yes, we're gonna get turned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
Yes, we're gonna get turned
We're gonna get burned
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe,
Please tell us it ain't so.
They told us our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on.
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile,
But the good old days have gone.
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe
And they're ruining our show.
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together,
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe,
Please tell us it ain't so.
That's not what I wanna hear Joe
Ain't I got a right to know
Cuánta gente -por ejemplo Sarah Palin- habrá usado esta canción (y otras muchas parecidas) de un modo de lo más erróneo...
Por otra parte, yo erraría con cualquiera de éstos. Ñam.

Sí conocía la versión, porque la he escuchado y me suena, lo que no estoy seguro es de que fuera en esta versión.
Y como no tengo ni idea de inglés no sé a qué te refieres con eso de que mucha gente la ha utilizado de manera errónea.
Una explicación quiero!
Besicos guapo!
Hijo, yo es que cada vez que pones una canción y dices que nadie la recordará me entra la crisis de los 41, la neura de qué mayora soy y el ataque de buscarme canas.
La conozco, sí, y me gustaba, pero me acababa aburriendo la canción.
Por cierto, que ya sé que estás muy ocupado, sin tiempo y tal y cual, pero a ver si puedes leer mi próxima entrada (de hoy domingo, si la termino) y participas.
Hay un par de teorías a propósito de la canción. La más aceptada es que habla a propósito de un jugador de la Liga de Beisbol de hace casi 100 años que, junto con otros 7 jugadores, vendió la liga para que ganara otro equipo. Fue un escándalo en EEUU y se transformó en la imagen de la corrupción. El título significa "Di que no es así, Joe", refiriéndose a este jugador.
Otra teoría, menos popular, dice que habla de la situación del pueblo llano durante el mandato de Stalin. Finalmente, hay otra teoría que habla de la situación del pueblo estadounidense durante la crisis del petróleo de los años 70. El autor nunca ha aclarado nada...
Don Mocho, por dios, no se me deprima usted, que los cuarentones somos Legión!!! XD Iré y participaré, coñe, que no puede ser ésto de estar virtualmente incomunicado...
