Kangaroo original

Apesar das covers de This Mortal Coil, Jeff Buckley, Beck e Bat for Lashes; continuo a achar a interpretação original de Alex Chilton (Big Star) a melhor. Há nela algo de psicadélico e de indie ao mesmo tempo, que parece resultar do uso da guitarra de 12 cortas e de uma percussão em estilo jazz. Morreu em New Orleans em Março de 2010. No leitor (flash - aguardar o download) a versão dos Big Star.

Kanga Roo (Lyrics)

I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't
hide anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring
out in space
I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I came against
Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
'Cause we were leaving
Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
Like a kanga roo
