batnandi mönnum er best að lifa

ég lærði nýtt núna rétt í þessu - munið þið lagið Wake me up before you gogo með Wham
- náttúrulega yndislegt 80s lag eins og þau öll eru þegar lífið var einfalt allir sungu um "ekkert" og sveifluðu sér í takt en voru svoooo hamingjusamir. En allaveganna þá fann ég textann á netinu og sá að ég hafði misskilið hann

Jitterbug [4X]

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin'' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, baby)

(Jitterbug)
(Jitterbug)

Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead

(Jitterbug)

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a
yo-yo
Take me dancing

(Boom-boom-boom)

'Eg sem sé skyldi aldrei þetta Jitterbug - og hélt í raun að þetta væri bara jukebox eða eitthvað álíka skyldi ekkert en í raun er þetta
a strenuously acrobatic dance consisting of a few standardized steps augmented by twirls, splits, somersaults, etc., popular esp. in the early 1940s and performed chiefly to boogie-woogie and swing.

Passar kannsi ekkert betur við textann en jukebox en maður lærir alltaf eitthvað nýtt og fyrir þá sem vilja fara aftur í tímann þá bíð ég ykkur þetta

HAHAHA jitterbug... Ekkert smá skemmtilegt orð. Ef ég ætti að búa til lýsingu á þessu orði sem færi í orðabók myndi ég gera það sona: "Jitterbug: some kind of an insect, which can jump or stroll over leaves and grass. WARNING: It can jump really high..." Enhverneginn sona, en það gildir einu. Kíktu á bloggið mitt www.zoolander.bloggar.is og hjálpaðu mér :þ
