Você gosta de Beatles? Durante muito tempo responder "não" para essa pergunta era algo quase impensável. No entanto eu e grande parte da minha geração não consegue bem entender a graça (mas talvez sim a importância) da banda inglesa que volta e meia está na mídia, apesar de ter estourado há decadas atrás.
Agora leiam a letra desta música, que é a terceira faixa do disco Abbey Road (1969) e aproveitem para ver o flash que fizeram com essa música:
Maxwell Edson Story (ligue o som e prepare o humor negro)
Joan was quizzical, studied maths and physical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door...
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
B.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
Insano, não? Até me animou a conhecer Beatles.. to ouvindo Sgt Pepper's. Aproveitem.
