80º Aniversário do Popeye


Há precisamente 80 anos, em plena época da Grande Depressão (lembra-vos alguma coisa??), nascia o marinheiro Popeye, a sua amada Olivia Palito e o inimigo Brutus.

Criado pelo cartoonista norte-americano Elzie Crisler Segar, através da banda desenhada Thimble Theatre, foi posteriormente adaptado para cinema em 1933, tendo discutido popularidade com o conhecido rato Mickey.

Graças a ele as nossas mães obrigavam-nos a devorar a sopa de espinafres, para que nos fizéssemos uns homens fortes e, quem sabe.... zarolhos!

A título de curiosidade, ficam a saber que o Popeye foi um dos ícones mais tatuados nos braços do militares que participaram na II Grande Guerra.

Aqui fica o primeiro desenho animado do bravo marinheiro, ainda a preto e branco :)

Amy Macdonald - This Is The Life [Official Music Video]

Já vos aconteceu gostarem de uma música, mas ao mesmo tempo detestarem...?

Pois, é exactamente essa sensação que esta música me provoca. Gosto do ritmo meio cavalgante, ao estilo Country, mas ao mesmo tempo acho que não vale nada!

Até um mix do Paul Oakenfold tem mais variantes que esta música...

Apetece-me bater-lhe de tanta repetição que faz... mas ao mesmo tempo, sempre que a ouço, mesmo a reclamar, ouço-a até ao fim...

Aqui fica a letra:

Amy MacDonald - This is the life

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many just sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for 4
And you're waiting outside jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?
