La canción del verano #40: 'California Sun'

En su segundo disco, 'Leave Home', tomaron la autopista Lincoln para traerse de vuelta 'California Sun', gozosa celebración de la eterna promesa de sol, playas y vida despreocupada que ya había pasado por las manos de los Crickets, Bobby Fuller, The Rivieras y Joe Jones.

La de los Ramones, sin embargo, es la versión definitiva: la que mejor consigue reflejar la exuberancia juvenil y el tam-tam de corazones desbocados con una atropellada mezcla de velocidad kamikaze y distorsión a chorro.

'California Sun'

Well I'm going out west where I belong

Where the days are short and the nights are long

And I'll walk

And they'll walk

And I'll twist

And they'll twist

And I'll shimmy

And they'll shimmy

And I'll fly

And they'll fly

Where we're out there having fun

In the warm California sun

Well, I'm going out west out on the coast

Where the California girls are really the most

And I'll walk

And they'll walk

And I'll twist

And they'll twist

And I'll shimmy

And they'll shimmy

And I'll fly

And they'll fly

Where we're out there having fun

In the warm California sun

Well, the girls are frisky in old 'Frisco

A pretty little chick wherever you go

And I'll walk

And they'll walk

And I'll twist

And they'll twist

And I'll shimmy

And they'll shimmy

And I'll fly

And they'll fly

Where we're out there having fun

In the warm California sun

Where we're out there having fun

In the warm California sun
