Private Idaho - The B-52s' (Video & Lyrics)

Esta es una de las canciones más locas de todos los tiempos.

Era el año 1979, y en esa época Radio Miraflores sacaba un espacio llamado "Música Chicle Globo" o algo por el estilo, donde tocaban primicias de canciones, lo que viendo para atrás me parecen que eran demos de grupos nuevos.

Un día de esos llegaron con la novedad de esta nueva canción "Private Idaho", en ese momento no llegó a ser un éxito, pero si fue muy divertido escuchar esos sonidos de indios americanos en pie de guerra.

Más adelante en las 80's se convirtió en un megaexito como todas las canciones de B-52s'.

Enterándome que vienen a Lima en Abril aprovecho para recordar esta loquísima canción.

Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
You're living in your own Private Idaho
Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
Don't go on the patio.
Beware of the pool,
blue bottomless pool.
It leads you straight
right throught the gate
that opens on the pool.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

Keep off the path, beware the gate,
watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways".
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
blind you to the awful surprise
that's waitin' for you at
the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool.

You're livin in your own Private Idaho. Idaho.
You're out of control, the rivers that roll,
you fell into the water and down to Idaho.
Get out of that state,
get out of that state you're in.
You better beware.

You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

Keep off the patio,
keep off the path.
The lawn may be green
but you better not be seen
walkin' through the gate that leads you down,
down to a pool fraught with danger
is a pool full of strangers.

You're living in your own Private Idaho,
where do I go from here to a better state than this.
Well, don't be blind to the big surprise
swimming round and round like the deadly hand
of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool.

I-I-I-daho
I-I-I-daho
Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own Private Idaho,
livin in your own Private.... Idaho
