En una entrevista ofrecida a Rolling Stones, Damon Albarn había declarado no haber podido contar con la voz del cómico Mike Myers (creador del famoso personaje del cinema Austin Powers) para cantar en dueto el single de 1994 ‘Parklife’ en el concierto en programa mañana 23 de octubre en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York.
Mientras tanto, el famoso grupo de brit pop ha pero podido interpretar la canción en directo con otro simpático personaje, el actor y presentador Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) que, como podéis ver en los dos vídeos más abajo, ha sabido portarse como un verdadero veterano del rock.
Blur ha anunciado el lanzamiento del documental ‘New World Towers‘ dedicado a los últimos tiempos de la banda, con entrevistas, imágenes inéditas y otros interesantes contenidos.
La letra de ‘Parklife’
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as (parklife)
John’s got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of it (parklife)
Who’s that gut lord marching… you should cut down on your porklife mate… get some
Exercise
ALL THE PEOPLE
SO MANY PEOPLE
THEY ALL GO HAND IN HAND
HAND IN HAND THROUGH THEIR PARKLIFE
Know what I mean
I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen (Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house (parklife)
I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous well
Being (parklife)
And then I’m happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit
Of my heart devoted to it (parklife)
Parklife (parklife)
Parklife (parklife)
It’s got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know
And it’s not about you joggers who go round and round and round
Parklife (parklife)
