MÚSICA - MEMÓRIA AFETIVA III

Aí está uma música que sempre me fascinou.

A conheci ainda nos anos 80, nas rádios da época, e a voz rouquinha da Kim Karnes sempre me seduziu...aliás, todas as vozes rouquinhas (Marina Lima, Malu Mader, Rod Steuwart...).

Mas Bette Davis Eyes, era algo inexplicável...a batida era hipnotizante, com o tintilar de "pratos" depois do primeiro refrão, e depois, quando vi o clipe, achava o máximo aqueles "tapas" na cara pra reproduzir o referido efeito sonoro...rs.

Para melhorar, essa música foi lançada no ano do meu nascimento: 1981!

Muitas versões desse clássico, desde então, surgiram...mas nenhuma se assemelha à original. As mais próximas certamente são a versão dance, da Sonia Davis, e a versão da atriz Gwynth Paltrow, para o filme "Duets", de 2002.

Eis a letra desta femme fatale, clássica em absoluto!

KIM KARNES - Bette Davis Eyes [1981]

Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she's got Better Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home, it works her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you're pleased with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes..
