Para muchos, el premio a la ‘mejor reunión del año 2015’ va seguramente a Sleater-Kinney, formación americana de punk rock formada en 1994 y actualmente compuesta por Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein y Janet Weiss (en la foto).
El trío publicó el 20 de enero de 2015 su octavo álbum de estudio ‘No Cities to Love’ (sucesor de ‘The Woods’ de 2005) y ahora nos regala un momento de música realmente muy intenso.
Durante su concierto de anoche, celebrado en el House of Blues de Cleveland, Sleater-Kinney han interpretado en directo una versión del clásico de Ramones “Merry Christmas (I don’t want to fight tonight)”, canción incluida en el tracklist del disco de 1989 “Brain drain”.
A continuación os dejamos la cover de la banda estadounidense, la versión original y la letra del tema:
La letra de “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight)”
Merry Christmas, I don’t want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don’t want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don’t want to fight tonight with you
Where is Santa? At his sleigh?
Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas
All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fighting, it’s so exciting baby
I love you and you love me
And that’s the way it’s got to be
I loved you from the start
‘Cause Christmas ain’t the time for breaking each other’s hearts
Where is Santa? At his sleigh?
Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas
All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fighting, it’s so exciting baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you and you love me
And that’s the way it’s got to be
I loved you from the start
‘Cause Christmas ain’t the time for breaking each other’s hearts
Merry Christmas, I don’t want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don’t want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don’t want to fight tonight with you
