Música de Semana - The Offspring "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)"



Olá pessoal!
Aqui fica a música desta semana. "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" dos The Offspring. Esta música é do álbum "Americana", lançado em 1998. Aqui fica uma curiosidade sobre esta canção: foi a música com mais downloads efectuados de sempre na história da Internet.
Uma grande música na minha opinião. Aproveito para lembrar que os The Offspring passam pelo nosso país no dia 8 de Agosto, no Festival Rock One. Festival esse que começa amanhã com abertura dos Linkin Park.
Deixo aqui a letra para os mais curisos:

"Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy).
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, ses.

You know it's kind of hard just to get along today.
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway.
He may not have a clue, and he may not have style,
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial.

So don't debate, a player straight.
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate,
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs wannabes,
So hey, hey do that brand new thing.

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy).

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice,
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice.
Now cruising in his Pinto he sees homies as he pass,
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass.

So don't debate, a player straight.
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate,
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.

Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah, he's gettin' ink done.
He asked for a "13" but they drew a "31."
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip,
But in his own mind, he's the, he's the dopest trip.

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis.

So don't debate, a player straight.
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate,
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs wannabes,
The world loves wannabes.
So let's get some more wannabes.
And hey, hey do that brand new thing!"
