Shipoopi

Para inaugurar este blog voy a poner la letra de una canción que ha marcado mi vida.

Shipoopi - Meredith Wilson

Now a woman who'll kiss on a very 1st date,
Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out,
Is anything but fussy
But a woman who'll wait 'till the 3rd time around,
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground,
She's the girl he's glad he's found, She's his Shipoopi.

Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi,
The girl is hard to get.
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi,
But you can win her yet.

Walk her once just to raise the curtain,
Then you walk around twice and you make for certain.
Once more in the flower garden,
She will never get sore if you beg her pardon.

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do, si, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do.

Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'.
If you get a squeeze back that's fancy cookin'.
Once more for a pepper-upper,
She will never get sore on her way to supper,

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do, si, do.

Now little ol' sal was a No-gal, as anyone could see,
Look at her now, she's a Go-Gal, who only goes for me.

Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'.
If you get a squeeze back that's fancy cookin'.
Once more for a pepper-upper,
She will never get sore on her way to supper,

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do, si, do.

Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi,
The girl is hard to get.
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi,
But you can win her yet.

Si estudiamos con detenimiento la letra de este tema (del musical The Music Man) descubriremos tanta sensibilidad y matices en él que no podremos dejar de escucharlo y deleitarnos de su increíble belleza.

Podeis escucharla, cantada por Peter Griffin, aquí:


La interpretación de Griffin tras conseguir un Touch Down (no os perdais el final del video) no tiene precio.
