Ah. Found (remembered) the perfect (difficult) homage to the (best of) USA

[Ghost Dog]

:hi: (As viewed from here (my 53-year-old increasingly-southern European head)): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp-qiyoQVB0

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
A thought of you as everything
I've had, but couldn't keep
I've had, but couldn't keep

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely
Stuff it in a cup
They said, money is like us in time
It lies, but can't stand up
Down for you is up

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But its truly, truly a sin

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in a mirror
I'd put in front of me
I'd put in front of me

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

(Not sure about the blue eyes bit, tho. More multicultural, I always thought...) ;-) .

Listen closely, there are more verses in there.

1. Sorry, that was one from the heart.

The music came through 2-3 mornings ago on Spanish public radio (my alarm clock), in about 3 different versions, and it's been in my mind ever since.

I urge fans/thinkers to check out the various versions/covers there on youtube.

For an excellent ballsy female voice, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ONkJm9kaZo

2. Another. Female. ¿Is it all cosmetic/druggy/too-much-tv, now?

Or are you folks, as we, perhaps delusionally, expect, planning to fight (intelligently) for what is right?

Any answers out/over there?

3. Nb. This one is sweet:

And then there's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap_V8lAzyOI

No. I guess the world's never again going to hope

to get anything good (in spite of all the bad)

out of the USA.

Pues. Piénsalo. Hasta la vista.

4. Must've been bedtime there in Europe...

sleep tight,

[Ghost Dog]

5. Think. Argue with me. Get the impression it's bedtime

there in the USA.

Is violence the answer?

6. Bien. Gracias por escuchar

(con mucho respeto)
