Los Minutos musicales que he puesto hasta el momento, excepto el de Eartha Kitt, son bastante actuales y...

- ¿Cómo se llama el blog?

- Involution Day.

- ¡Bingo! Puede usted pasar por caja a recojer su premio.

- ¡No jodas! ¿Y qué me ha tocado?

- Nada, era un puente para llegar a lo siguiente.

- ¡Vaya!

O sea que a partir de ahora... "Minutos musicales" involuciona, con la irremediable perdida de calidad de sonido, y me voy a 1979, aunque las canciones sean del 78, con Blondie. ¿Recordáis a esa rubia que entró en el panorama musical pisando números uno?

Los miembros de la formación original eran Deborah Harry (vocal), Clem Burke (batería), Gary Valentine (bajo), James Destri (teclados) y Chris Stein (guitarra). De origen neoyorquino comenzaron allá por el año 1975 junto a bandas locales como The Ramones, dentro de un nuevo movimiento al que todos llamaron (llamamos) punk-rock.

Blondie es el único grupo que ha conseguido números uno en tres décadas consecutivas. Además, Debbie Harry está incluida en el libro Guinness de los Records, como la cantante más madura de la historia en conseguir un número uno en las listas de éxitos de UK con "Maria". ¡Qué cosas!

Esta es una lista de reproducción con dos vídeos, que se reproducirán  automáticamente uno detrás de otro, de una actuación en directo en 1979 (no sé en qué lugar), interpretando "Hanging on the Telephone" y "Sunday Girl" del álbum Parallel Lines, el gran disco Pop del Punk antes de que las grandes discográficas descubrieran que su éxito comercial y el de tantos otros no había sido casualidad.

Recomiendo un volumen medio-alto para disfrutar de este miniconcierto:

Hanging on the Telephone

I'm in the phone booth it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice you know it's been so long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection

Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Oh hang there unrelieved

Sunday Girl

I know a girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.
Dry your eyes, sunday girl.
Hey, i saw your guy with a different girl.
Looks like he's in another world.
Run and hide, sunday girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week and still i wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin means to me.
She can't catch up with the working crowd.
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud.
Live in dreams, sunday girl.
"baby, i would like to go out tonight".
"if i go with you my folks'll get uptight".
Stay at home, sunday...
Hey, i saw your guy with a different girl.
Looks like he's in another world.
Run and hide, sunday girl.
When i saw you again in the summer time, if your love was as sweet as mine, i could be sunday's girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week and still i wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin means to me.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
I stay away all week, still i wait.
I got the blues.
Please come see what your lovin means to me.
Hurry up.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait.
Please come see what you do to me.
I got the blues.
