Merten kutsui vastustamattomaan leikkiin, joka kiertää blogeissa kuin kulkutauti: Vastaa kymmeneen kysymykseen biisien nimillä (kaikki samalta tekijältä). Kai tunnistat artistin lunttaamatta vastausta linkistä jutun lopussa?
Intro: Mikä on mielibiisisi?
“Merten ne verten hehkua poskiin”… ei vaiskaan! :-)
1. Are you male or female?
Who can I be now…
2. Describe yourself
Rebel, rebel
3. How do some people feel about you?
(So I turned myself to face me
But I’ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
4. How do you feel about yourself
All the Young Dudes…
(“Oh man, is this concrete all around or is it in my head”)
5. Describe your boy/girlfriend
I’ll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing’s gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold …
6. Where would you rather be?
I’m looking for a vehicle, I’m looking for a ride
I’m looking for a party, I’m looking for a side
I’m looking for the treason that I knew in ’65
Beware the sound mixture of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me?
7. Describe what you want to be
The young American
8. Describe how you live
Somebody up there likes me
9. Describe how you love
God only knows
10. Share a few words of wisdom
Is there Life on Mars?
(It’s on Amerikas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again…)
Suurkiitokset
Metro Lyricsin sivuille, joiden ansiosta sain tänään myös oikaistua vuosikymmenet sitten päähäni Life on Mars-biisistä iskostuneen mondegreenin: “lemons on sale again”. :-)
