Ayer pol encajó un post con una buenas lyrics… y eso me dio el pie perfecto para embocar el siguiente posteo que tenía hace un tiempo entre los drafts. Hará algo asi como un mes atrás que nuestro amigo y uno de nuestros guruses musicales, el misterioso fred sch., me mandó por mail la historia de uno de los himnos de nuestra adolescencia… Born Slippy… de Underworld.

El tema reventó cuando el gran Danny Boyle, decidió coronar la banda de sonido de su obra maestra Trainspotting, metiendolo en la escena final… cerrando la película muy arriba… “Choose Life”.

El tema fue originalmente editado como un instrumental, de hecho el instrumental se llama Born Slippy, las lyrics vinieron más tarde… y fueron escritas en joda tras una noche de borrachera pesada… es entonces que nació Born Slippy Nuxx, el tema que hoy todos conocemos y que llegó a estar nro 2 de los charts británicos… mientras que el original ni siquiera fue charteado…
El nombre de la canción, “Born Slippy.” salió de un galgo que les hizo ganar algo de dinero en la pista de Romford, de dónde son originarios estos cabrones…
En las palabras de Karl Hyde said:
“We used to go out drinking in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were written on that night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that. I was inspired by Lou Reed’s New York album and Sam Shepard’s Motel Chronicles. I was into flash photography as well, so I was walking around Soho with a notebook and camera, just observing things. In those days I’d open the book whenever a musical idea inspired me. Rick [Smith] came up with a rhythm and I started singing over it. The vocals were done in one take. When I lost my place, I’d repeat the same line; that’s why it goes, ‘lager, lager, lager, lager.’ The first time we played it live, people raised their lager cans and I was horrified because I was still deep into alcoholism. It was never meant to be a drinking anthem; it was a cry for help. Now I don’t mind. Why Born Slippy? It was a greyhound we won money on.”
Acá van las lyrics…
Drive boy dog boy dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy she was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy and tears boy
And all in your innerspace boy you had
Hands girl boy and steel boy you had
Chemicals boy Ive grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy she said
Comeover comeover she smiled at you boy.
Let your feelings slip boy but never your mask boy
Random blonde bio high density rhythm blonde boy
Blonde country blonde high density
You are my drug boy youre real boy speak to me
And boy dog dirty numb cracking boy
You get wet boy big big time boy
Acid bear boy babes and babes and babes and
Babes and babes and remembering nothing boy.
You like my tin horn boy and get wet like an angel.
Derail.
You got a velvet mouth youre so succulent and beautiful
Shimmering and dirty wonderful and hot times
On your telephone line and God and everything
On your telephone and in walk an angel.
And look at me your mom squatting pissed in
A tube hole at tottenham court
Road I just come out of the ship
Talking to the most blonde I ever met.
Shouting
Lager lager lager lager shouting
Lager lager lager lager shouting
Lager lager lager shouting
Mega mega white thing mega mega white thing
Mega mega white thing mega mega shouting
Lager lager lager lager mega mega white thing
Mega mega white thing
So many things to see and do in the tube hole
True blonde going back to romford
Mega mega mega going back to romford
Hi mom are you having fun and now are you on
Your way to a new tension headache
Por último, y como anticipo de unos compilados que estamos por sacar… les dejo un muy lindo remix, que también llegó de la mano del mistery man, fred sch.
Born Slippy Nuxx por Get Well Soon
