Yello – The race

youtube

Gli Yello sono un duo synthpop sfizzero composto da Dieter Meier e Boris Blank. Fondamentalmente conosciuti per due canzoni: The Race, che è questa del video, e Oh Yeah.

The Race è stata per un certo periodo la sigla del Chiambretti Night (non so se lo sia ancora o se esista ancora un chiambretti night). Oh Yeah è stata utilizzata innumerevoli volte in film, cartoni e serie tv. L’ultima nel quale ricordo di averla sentita è ne “Il segreto del mio successo” con Michael J. Fox come protagonista.

Il testo The Race:

Shout! (shout!)
Count on me I’m gonna win The Race
Count on me I’m gonna win The Race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong

Now shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south

Not any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I’m attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn’t great
He didn’t ever talk about he knew he couldn’t wait

Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I’m ready and I haven’t got a clue

Not any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I’m attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad

Fire away!
This is The Race!

Why?
Burn!
Shout!
Lies!

Give me The Race!

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn’t great
He didn’t ever talk about he knew he couldn’t wait

I need this race!

Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I’m ready and I haven’t got a clue

Any track is turning but The Race is in my head
I’m attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad

Fire away!

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way

This is The Race!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
This is Billy McKloski from Palm Springs reporting for NBC Sports of
America
Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first Formula race on a hot
sunny afternoon here in California

On the fast lane of the street I’m driving
Sometimes, somewhere, I’m arriving
Every day and every night

Why?
I need this race!

Count on me I’m gonna win The Race
Count on me I’m gonna win The Race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong

Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south

Race in my head
