Súboj titanov (54)

Slade verzus Girlschool.

Dievčenská hudobná skupina Girlschool má na 4. štú­dio­vom albume Play Dirty z roku 1983 dve pesničky, ktoré pôvodne nahrala mužská skupina Slade.

1. High and Dry
2. Burning in the Heat

Skupina Slade vydala v roku 1983 v poradí 11. album The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome. 4. pes­nička na albume má názov High and Dry.

Text piesne:

Over and over
You’re such a shy girl
See you every day
Oh me oh my girl
Don’t know what to say
Have you lost your voice
Are you spoilt for choice

My reputation’s strictly for the birds
Don’t believe in everything you’ve heard
How I operate – You ain’t got long to wait

We’ll do it over and over (don’t you turn me over)
Then I love ‚em and leave ‚em high
Over and over (don’t you turn me over)
Then I love ‚em and leave ‚em high – High and dry

You take me home and I promise I’ll behave
Won’t wake your ma, I’ll be silent as the grave
You’ll be the first to crack – then you’ll want me back

To do it over and over (don’t you turn me over)
Then I love ‚em and leave ‚em high
Over and over (don’t you turn me over)
Then I love ‚em and leave ‚em high
High and dry – High and dry

You’re such a shy girl, See you every day
Oh me oh my girl, Don’t know what to say
You want equality – You won’t get none of that from me

We’ll do it – Over and over (don’t you turn me over)
Then I love ‚em and leave ‚em high
Over and over (don’t you turn me over)
Then I love ‚em and leave ‚em high – High and dry
I leave ‚em I leave ‚em High and dry

I love ‚em I leave ‚em – I love ‚em I leave ‚em high
I love ‚em, I leave ‚em – I leave ‚em High and dry
I leave ‚em High and dry – I love and leave ‚em high

Predtým v roku 1977 skupina Slade nahrala pesničku Burning in the Heat of Love.

Text piesne:

Sun’s above the fire below
The earth is quaking, shimmy shaking to and fro
And if in doubt, you check it out
This crazy thing called love the fuss is all about

I’m burning in the heat driven by the beat
Can’t you see I’m burning in the heat of love
I’m burning in the heat driven by the beat
Can’t you see I’m burning in the heat of love

I’m cool above, I’m hot below
My knees are knocking, shocking tremelo
We wined and dined and 69’d
This red hot pleasing shot a tingle right up my spine

I’m burning in the heat, driven by the beat
Can’t you see I’m burning in the heat of love
I’m burning in the heat driven by the beat
I’m burning in the heat of love

Hey you over there – I remember your… eyes
You look so good when they were closed

I’m smoking above, I’m steaming below
My back is aching, busy making ecstasy flow
I’m taking a tip, I finally got hip
The only real L.O.V.E. is caught in my zip… oww!

I’m burning in the heat, driven by the beat
Can’t you see I’m burning in the heat of love
I’m burning in the heat driven by the beat
I’m burning in the heat of love

I’m burning burning burning burning
I’m burning in the heat of love
I’m burning in the fire, that’s my desire
I’m burning in the heat of love

Get lucky you teaser – You gonna give me some lip?
Ooh I like your mind – It’s your body I can’t stand

Dievčatá zo skupiny Girlschool zaujali moju pozornosť cover verziami. Veď súboj titanov je o po­rov­ná­vaní pô­vod­ných pes­ničiek s ich cover verziami.

Ktorá skupina je lepšia? Chlapci alebo dievčatá?
