‘Carl Perkins’

Paul McCartney declara ca fara Carl Perkins, Beatles nu ar fi existat. “Everyboy’s trying to be my baby”, “Matchbox” si “Honey don’t” sunt piesele lui Perkins preluate de celebra trupa britanica. Carl Perkins afirma ca Beatles si Rolling Stones au salvat muzica rockabilly in anii 1960, imbracand genul rockabilly intr-o haina mai frumoasa. Cantecul “Everyboy’s trying to be my baby” a fost unul din ultimele cantece inregistrate de artist la casa de discuri Sun in 1956.

Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby now

I Woke up last night half past four
Fifteen women knockin’ at my door
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby now

Went out last night mean to stay late,
fore home I had nineteen dates
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby now

I Woke up last night half past four.
Fifteen women knockin’ at my door
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby now

Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby
Everybody’s tryin’ to be my baby now

Carl Perkins a scris cea mai cunoscuta piesa a sa, “Blue suede shoes”, in 1955 si s-a inspirat dintr-o intamplare reala cand, la una din reprezentatiile sale, a observat scena in care un tanar o avertiza pe partenera sa sa nu-l calce pe pantofi in timpul dansului. A fost primul cantec care a ajuns pe prima pozitie atat in calsamentul country cat si in cel rhythm and blues. Piesa este recunoscuta ca fiind una dintre cele mai importante creatii care au zguduit lumea muzicii si au contribuit la aparitia curentului rock and roll.

Well, it’s one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don’t you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don’t you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
