LAS MEJORES PORTADAS DE REVISTAS.

¿RECUERDAN EL ATARI?
Atari ha estado presente desde los primeros días de las máquinas de arcade, Atari fue creador de las consolas caseras, como la Atari 2600 (llamada originalmente VCS "Video Computer System" -- Sistema Informático de Vídeo); produjo una serie de computadores de 8 bits (Atari 400/800 y la serie XL/XE); tomó parte en el mercado de los 16 bits con el Atari ST; creó la consola Atari Jaguar de 64 bits, revolucionaria para su época; y lanzó una cónsola portátil, la Atari Lynx.
Los setenta: El nacimiento del imperio de los videojuegos
Fundada en los Estados Unidos en 1972 por Nolan Bushnell y Ted Dabney, Atari puede ser considerada la fundadora de la industria del videojuego, gracias al PONG. La versión casera de PONG, que se conectaba a una televisión, fue una de las primeras consolas de videojuegos.
Atari fue originalmente llamada Syzygy, un término astronómico. Sin embargo, ese nombre ya había sido registrado por otra empresa, Bushnell escribió algunas palabras del juego Go, y eligió la palabra Atari que significa "que una ficha o un grupo de fichas está en peligro de ser capturadas por tu oponente. El nombre "Atari" además es fácil de memorizar, en términos de pronunciación y escritura, en la mayoría de los mercados.
En 1973, Atari crea secretamente un "competidor" llamado Kee Games, manejado por Joe Keenan. La relación fue descubierta en 1974, Joe Keenan hizo tan buen trabajo que fue ascendido a la presidencia de Atari ese mismo año.
Bushnell vendió Atari a Warner Communications en 1976 en un estimado de $28–$32 millones de dólares, usando parte de este dinero para comprar la mansión Folgers. Él dejó la división en 1979. Mientras era propiedad de Warner, Atari conseguía sus mayores éxitos, vendiendo millones de consolas Atari 2600 (VCS). En su momento cumbre, Atari producía un tercio de los ingresos de la empresa Warner, y pasó a ser la empresa de crecimiento más rápido en los Estados Unidos, récord que mantiene hasta hoy.
Los ochenta: La casi consagración de Atari
Aunque Atari dominaba casi completamente el mercado de las videoconsolas caseras, experimentó su primera competencia férrea en 1980 con la consola Intellivision de Mattel, que hizo publicidad de su mayor capacidad gráfica, comparada con la Atari 2600. A pesar de esto, la 2600 siguió siendo el estándar de la industria dada su superioridad en el mercado, y además el número de títulos disponibles para su consola.
Sin embargo, Atari tuvo problemas a comienzos de los 80's. La división de computadores caseros, consolas de videojuegos y máquinas de arcade (esos típicos juegos operados con monedas que se ponen en lugares públicos), operaban independientemente dentro de la empresa y rara vez cooperaban entre sí. Enfrentados a una dura competencia y en una guerra de precios en el mercado de las computadoras y las consolas, Atari nunca fue capaz de seguir en la línea del éxito del 2600. En 1982, Atari lanzó decepcionantes versiones de dos juegos altamente publicitados, como Pac-Man y E.T, causando una montaña de material no vendido, tirando los precios al suelo. También en 1982, Atari inició un juicio contra Activision, un competidor en el desarrollo de juegos, conformado en su mayoría por ex-empleados de Atari, que finalmente abrieron el mercado a empresas independientes que desarrollaban juegos. El mercado se saturó rápidamente, bajando aún más los precios. Además, en diciembre de 1982, los ejecutivos de Atari, Ray Kassar y Dennis Groth, fueron investigados por uso indebido de información privilegiada ("insider trading" en inglés). Más tarde se sabría que estas informaciones carecían de fundamento.
Por otra parte, Larry Emmons, un importante empleado que se había retirado en 1982, encabezó la investigación y el desarrollo de un pequeño grupo de talentosos ingenieros en Grass Valley, California. La consola Atari 5200, fue lanzada como la siguiente generación de consolas 2600. Aunque estaba basada en los computadores Atari 800, no eran compatibles con los cartuchos de esa máquina. Sus ventas no estuvieron a la altura de las expectativas de la empresa.
Así y todo, Atari mantenía una envidiable posición en el mercado mundial de los videojuegos. Eran los productores número uno de todos los mercados, excepto en Japón, cuyo mercado era dominado por Nintendo, quien en 1983 había lanzado su primera consola de juegos, la Famicom (conocida en el resto del mundo como NES). El sistema creció rápidamente, y Nintendo comenzó a mirar otros mercados. Se acercaron a Atari y les ofrecieron un contrato de licenciamineto: Atari podría hacer y vender el sistema Famicom, pagándole un royalty a Nintendo. El trato tenía opciones de prosperar y las dos empresas supuestamente firmarían el trato en la Feria del Consumidor de Electrónica (en inglés: Consumer Electrónics Show CESdel verano de 1983. Desafortunadamente al mismo tiempo Coleco mostraba su nuevo computador Adam corriendo el juego Donkey Kong de Nintendo, pero Atari tenía los derechos para publicar Donkey Kong, es así que el ejecutivo más importante de Atari, Ray Kassar, acusó a Nintendo de hacer dobles tratos con la licencia de Donkey Kong. Al mes siguiente Ray Kassar fue forzado a dejar Atari y los ejecutivos involucrados en el trato con Nintendo fueron obligados a comenzar de nuevo desde cero.
Estos problemas fueron seguidos por la caída del mercado de los videojuegos en 1983, que causó pérdidas por más de US$ 500 millones a la industria. El precio de las acciones de Warner cayó de US$60 a US$20 y Warner comenzó a buscar comprador para su problemática división (ATARI).
En julio de 1984, Warner vendió las divisiones de computadores personales y videojuegos a Jack Tramiel, fundador del competidor directo de Atari, Commodore International, bajo el nombre de Atari Corporation por U$240 millones. Warner retuvo la división de juegos de arcade, bajo el nombre de Atari Games y finalmente la vendió a Namco en 1985.
Bajo la administración de Tramiel, Atari Corp. utilizó el stock de computadores y consolas para mantener la empresa a flote, mientras terminaban con el desarrollo de su sistema de 16 bits, el Atari ST. En 1985 lanzan la actualización para los sistemas de 8 bits, la serie XE, así como la línea ST de 16 bits. Más tarde, en 1986, Atari lanzó dos consolas diseñadas en el tiempo de Warner, la Atari 2600jr y la 7800 Prosystem (que había tenido un lanzamiento limitado en 1984). Crecieron las arcas, teniendo utilidades por US$ 25.000.000 ese año. La serie ST tuvo un muy buen recibimiento en el mercado europeo, aunque no tanto en Estados Unidos. Fue especialmente popular entre músicos, porque todos los modelos incluían puertos MIDIintegrados. Atari además lanzó una serie de computadores económicos compatibles con los PC de IBM y una computadora de bolsillo (PDA), la Atari Portfolio.
En 1989, Atari lanzó la consola portátil en colores, Atari Lynx. Sin embargo, no pudo ser lanzada exitosamente en la temporada navideña de 1989, dando gran ventaja a su competidor, Nintendo Game Boy. Además en 1989, Atari Corp. demandó a Nintendo por U$ 250 millones, alegando monopolio, Atari perdió el juicio.
Los noventa: La decadencia
Mientras se acababan los dividendos de los clónicos IBM y la línea ST, consolas y programas, volvían a ser el plato fuerte de Atari. En 1993, Atari lanzó "JAGUAR", su última consola, la cual era la primera de la generación de 64 bits. Después de un periodo de relativo éxito, las ventas no cumplieron las expectativas. No tuvo tanta publicidad como la Sony PlayStation o laSega Saturn y le faltó apoyo de los desarrolladores externos de juegos, así sus competidores japoneses dominaron sin dificultades el mercado.
En 1996, una serie de juicios seguidos por lucrar con sus investigaciones dejó a Atari con varios millones de dólares en caja, pero el rotundo fracaso de la Atari Lynx y de Jaguar, tenían a la empresa sin productos que ofrecer. Además, Tramiel y su familia dejaron el negocio, con el resultado de un rápido cambio de dueños. En julio de 1996, Atari se fusionó con JTS Inc., una empresa relativamente nueva que producía discos duros, para convertirse en JTS Corp. El rol de la marca Atari en la nueva empresa tuvo una trascendencia pequeña, por lo mismo el nombre como tal desapareció del mercado.

LA HISTORIA DE EDITORIAL NOVARO
EDITORIAL NOVARO
Al principio Editorial Novaro sólo publicaba
historietas cómicas, hasta que en diciembre de 1951
apareció Tarzan y en marzo del año siguiente, Supermán.
En septiembre, Roy Rogers inauguró la cadena de
títulos de vaqueros de la editorial y en ese mismo
mes apareció Chiquilladas, la primera de sus revistas
genéricas, que incluirían infinidad de subtítulos.
El segundo superhéroe que apareció en Novaro fue
Capitán Marvel, siete meses después de supermán,
sobreviviendo poco más de un año, pues Fawcett, la
editora de Captain Marvel, perdió la demanda
establecida por DC, la editora de supermán,
argumentando que el primero era un plagio del segundo
y se tuvo que suspender el titulo, tanto en la unión
americana como en México.
En febrero de 1954 sale a la venta Batman
y ese mismo mes aparece la primer historieta de
manufactura nacional realizada por Novaro:
un número extraordinario de Pepita, presentando
la “Vida Y Amores De Jorge Negrete”,
dibujado por María Isabel Camberros.
Tres meses después aparece su primer titulo cultural,
de producción nacional:
Vidas Ejemplares.
Siguieron:
Vidas Ilustres,
Aventuras De La Vida Real y
Leyendas De America, En 1956 y
Epopeya en 1957.
En este mismo año
Tesoro De Cuentos Clásicos
comenzó a publicar material dibujado en México.
Durante el resto de los cincuentas y toda la década
de los sesentas, Editorial Novaro fue una de las
más importantes fuentes de comics traducidos.
(junto con La Prensa y Editora Sol.).
Lanzó, además, otra cadena de revistas culturales
comenzando por
Lectura Para Todos, de muy baja distribución;
siguió
Mujeres Célebres en 1961,
Grandes Viajes y
Joyas De La Mitologia en 1963,
Estrellas Del Deporte en 1965 e
Historias Del Cristianismo y
Patronos Y Santuarios, en 1966.
En el número 103 de Tesoro De Cuentos Clásicos,
aparecido en marzo de 1966, se revivió al personaje
Fantomas,
dibujado por Ruben Lara y con guión adaptado de la
novela francesa de principios de siglo.
Aunque la primer incursión de Fantomas en la
historieta mexicana fue casi 30 años atrás,
en Paquín, esta fue su caracterización más importante
y recordada.
Después de 33 apariciones en Tesoro De Cuentos
Clásicos,
se lanzó en enero de 1969 la revista quincenal
Fantomas,
que no dejó de publicarse sino hasta la desaparición
de la Editorial, a mediados de los ochentas.
.jpg)
En 1972, una nueva oleada de revistas de producción nacional tiene poco éxito:
Sherlock Holmes y
Arsenio Lupín
que se independizaban de Tesoro De Cuentos Clásicos;
Hata Yoga,
que hacía lo propio de Joyas De La Mitología;
Aun Hay Más,
inspirada por el programa de T.V. Siempre En Domingo,
con Raúl Velasco quien es protagonista de la historieta;
Los Arrancados,
imitando el estilo de Rius en Los Agachados;
y tres títulos basados en personajes de comics americanos:
Korak
Turok y
El Poderoso Sansón
Además
Tarzán comienza a dibujarse en México.
En 1974 se lanza la serie Libro Cómic,
consistente en la reedición a todo lujo
de viejas revistas de la editorial.
Con casi siempre 64 páginas de papel brillante,
con portadas rígidas ahuladas y pintadas,
la cuidada edición costaba doce pesos.
Muy caro. De hecho, ya todas las historietas eran caras.
después de toda una década de pagar un peso por cada
una, a principios de los años setentas
el precio de las revistas se elevo paulatinamente,
primero a 1.20, luego a 1.50 y después a 2.00.
En marzo de 1975 llego el golpe más duro:
Novaro lanzó tres ediciones de casi todos sus titulos:
La Serie Avestruz, de formato estándar,
de periodicidad mensual y a un costo de 3.00.
Su numeración comenzaba desde el 1 y estaba precedida por un 3;
La Serie Aguila, de tamaño menor
y con un costo de 2.00,
continuaba la numeración de las series originales,
pero ahora precedida por un 2 y
La Serie Colibrí: una Mini revista mensual
que reimprimía las viejas historias de los años 50’s
y 60’s, para delicia de la nueva generación,
todo por un costo de 1.40.
Su numeración iniciaba desde el 1 y estaba precedida
por un 1.
En 1979 y para celebrar sus 30 años, la Editorial
Novaro publicó ocho revistas, la mitad de ellas hechas
en México.
En 1980 aparecieron las dos últimas revistas
importantes de la editorial: reimpresiones de Conan El
Bárbaro y Hulk, El Hombre Increíble, aparecidas
originalmente en La Prensa. En el mismo mes que estas
dos revistas aparecen, Novedades Editores lanzaba lo
que vendría a ser su éxito de toda la década:
El Asombroso Hombre Araña.
Las ultimas revistas publicadas por Editorial Novaro
aparecieron en 1985.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

I WONT BACK DOWN
Thomas Earl Petty (Gainesville, Florida, 20 de octubre de 1950) es un músico estadounidense. En 1989, Petty lanzó Full Moon Fever. Aunque nominalmente era un proyecto en solitario, otros miembros de Heartbreakers y algunos músicos muy conocidos participaron en la grabación. Mike Campbell coprodujo el disco con Petty y Jeff Lynne (de la Electric Light Orchestra). Estuvo entre los diez primeros de la lista de Billboard durante más de 34 semanas y consiguió llegar al triple platino, con éxitos como «I Won't Back Down», «Free Fallin'» y «Runnin' Down A Dream».

JULY MORNING
Uriah Heep es una banda británica de heavy metal progresivo que ha sido denominada como "uno de los grupos más populares de principios de los '70.
La banda lanzó varios álbumes muy exitosos comercialmente en los '70 como Uriah Heep Live (1973), pero su audiencia declinó en los '80, al punto de convertirse esencialmente en una banda de culto en los Estados Unidos y en Reino Unido. Uriah Heep mantiene una cantidad significativa de seguidores en Alemania, los Países Bajos, Escandinavia, los Balcanes, Japaó y Rusia, donde aun tocan en estadios.
Uriah Heep fue la primera banda de occidente en tocar en la Rusia soviética, bajo la política de Gorbachov llamada glasnost.2 Han vendido 30 millones de copias en todo el mundo.
There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …
I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …
There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own
La banda lanzó varios álbumes muy exitosos comercialmente en los '70 como Uriah Heep Live (1973), pero su audiencia declinó en los '80, al punto de convertirse esencialmente en una banda de culto en los Estados Unidos y en Reino Unido. Uriah Heep mantiene una cantidad significativa de seguidores en Alemania, los Países Bajos, Escandinavia, los Balcanes, Japaó y Rusia, donde aun tocan en estadios.
Uriah Heep fue la primera banda de occidente en tocar en la Rusia soviética, bajo la política de Gorbachov llamada glasnost.2 Han vendido 30 millones de copias en todo el mundo.

Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …
I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …
There I was on a July morning

With the strength
Of a new day dawning

NO MILK TODAY
Herman's Hermits fue un grupo de rock pop de Manchester, Inglaterra. Fueron parte de la llamada "Invasión británica" de los años 60's y su líder era el carismático Peter Noone. Hacia 1966, la popularidad del grupo empieza a decaer, a pesar de sus esfuerzos y de que logran todavía un éxito más con "No Milk Today", canción que es todo un clásico.
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands for lorn, a symbol of the dawn

I'm gonna write a little letter,

I want my jockey to play.

You know, my temperature's risin'
The jukebox's blowin' a fuse.
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps a-singin' the blues.
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news.
I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I caught the rollin' arthiritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review.
Roll Over Beethoven they're rockin' in two by two.
Well, if you feelin' like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock with it,
Roll it over,
Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues.
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you a warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
Ain't got nothin' to lose.
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news.
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin' top.
She got a crazy partner,
Ya oughta see 'em reel and rock.
Long as she got a dime the music wont never stop.

Bye bye love bye bye happiness

Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die

I’m through with counting the stars above
And here’s the reason that I’m so free
My loving baby is through with me
Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I’m gonna cry

The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar,
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war,
I'm going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage,
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland,
She comes back to tell me she's gone,
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed,
As if I'd never noticed,
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead,
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow,
I'm going to Graceland,
Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,
And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties,
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland,
There is a girl in New York City,
Who calls herself the human trampoline,
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Whoa so this is what she means,
She means we're bouncing into Graceland,
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow,
In Graceland Graceland,
I'm going to Graceland,
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland,
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now,
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland
Woah in graceland graceland graceland
i'm going to graceland
The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar,
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war,
I'm going to Graceland

HEARTBREAK HOTEL
Con su primer tema para la RCA, Heartbreak Hotel,Elvis Presley consiguió su primer número uno, de los 18 que consiguió en su carrera en Estados Unidos. Su modo de bailar, con sus movimientos pélvicos, resultó escandaloso, aunque entusiasmó a los jóvenes. En algunos programas de televisión, como en su tercera aparición en el Show de Ed Sullivan, sólo se le enfocó de cintura para arriba. Antes de su ingreso al servicio militar, rompió todos los récords de venta, alcanzando once números uno seguidos, en la lista de sencillos, y cuatro números uno en la de los discos de larga duración. Interpretó, asimismo, cuatro películas, todas enormes éxitos de taquilla.
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
do cry away their gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.

PANAMA
Van Halen es una banda estadounidense de hard rock, llamada así por los hermanos Eddie Van Halen y Alex Van Halen (guitarrista y baterista respectivamente).
El primer álbum de la banda, Van Halen de 1978 es ampliamente considerado como un hito en la historia del rock. Con este primer estreno, la banda se estableció como un líder en el emergente y desafiante mundo hard rock de los EE.UU. En particular, el guitarrista de la banda, Eddie Van Halen, se hizo rápidamente famoso gracias a su técnica y sensibilidad musical. Hoy en día es considerado como uno de los guitarristas de rock más innovadores e influyentes; otros de los rasgos distintivos del grupo en su etapa considerada más clásica, era el estilo versátil y autoparódico de su cantante David Lee Roth, conocido como "Diamond" Dave.
Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast'n top down
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline

You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her!
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama
Ain't nothin' like it, it's a shining machine
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean

You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her

I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off

uhh, I reach down between my legs n' ease the seat back
She's runnin', I'm flyin'
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

CRY ME A RIVER
Joe Cocker inicia su carrera musical en la ciudad de Sheffield (Inglaterra), lugar donde nace, participando en algunas pequeñas bandas desde la edad de 15 años. La primera de ellas se llamaba The Avengers (bajo el nombre artístico de Vance Arnold), seguida de Big Blues en 1963 y The Grease Band (1966).
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause ev'ry night I have the strangest dreams;
Imprisoned by the way it could have been,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I've got to leave before I start to scream,
But someone locked the door and took the key.
You feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Well, you feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride,
And even now I sit and wonder why,
That when I think of you I start myself to cry,
I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry.
Gotta stop believing in all your lies,
'Cause there's too much to do before I die.
You feelin' alright ......
Don't get too lost in all I say,
Yeah by the time, you know, I really felt that way.
But that was then; Now, you know, it's today,
I just can't get off so I'm here to stay.
'Til someone comes along and takes my place,
With a diff'rent name, oh, a diff'rent face
You feeling alright ......

Torpey más tarde fue sustituido por Mick Stewart y luego en agosto de 1970 por el definitivo Andy Scott (nacido el 30 de junio de 1949 en Wrexham, Gales).
I don't wanna know your name
Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
OK you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked all right before
Fox on the run
You screamed and everybody comes a-running
Take a run and hide yourself away
Fox on the run
F-foxy, foxy on the run and hideaway
You-you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand
I've heard it all before
I don't wanna know your name
Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
(repeat chorus)

AQUALUNG
Jethro Tull es el nombre de una original banda de rock progresivo británica, cuyo líder Ian Anderson es de origen escocés, que comenzó en 1968 y que ha trabajado de forma ininterrumpida siendo, tras los Rolling Stones el segundo grupo de rock más antiguo en actividad.
Desde sus inicios, este grupo ha vendido más de 60 millones de copias de sus más de 30 álbumes.1
Siempre ha sido liderado por el flautista escocés Ian Anderson, que es el autor de prácticamente todas las canciones del grupo, y de hecho el grupo se comporta como el apoyo de este músico, dado que es el único que ha estado en toda la historia de la banda, desde el primer disco, y sólo el guitarrista Martin Lancelot Barre se le acerca, estando desde el segundo disco.
Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.
Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

DONT YOU FORGET ABOUT ME
imple Minds, es una banda de Adult oriented rock escocesa de finales de los años 70 hasta nuestros días. Son todo un ejemplo del Post-Punk, New Wave, New Romantic o Rock Progresivo. Conquistaron el mercado americano y de todo el mundo, posicionándose en el primer puesto de los rankings, gracias al hit Don't you (Forget about me), parte de la banda sonora del film de John Hughes "The Breakfast Club". Sin embargo, la banda no comenzó de manera exitosa a pesar de los estilos experimentales que implementaron en sus creaciones. Simple Minds a lo largo de su historia y a pesar de no ser una banda completamente comercial ni de gran promoción publicitaria ha vendido sobre 35 millones de discos, lo que demuestra que su calidad musical prima sobre cualquier otro atributo mediático.

The Romantics es una banda de Rock y New Wave, formada en 1977 en Detroit, Michigan, Estados Unidos. La Banda adoptó el nombre "The Romantics" porque se formó en el Día de San Valentín.

MY SHARONA
The Knack es un grupo de rock & roll de Los Angeles (California). En 1979 lograron un gran éxito internacional con su primer single, My Sharona.
El power pop presente en My Sharona, junto con el look new wave setentero de la banda, contribuyeron a las comparaciones del grupo con la época temprana de los Beatles. Numerosos críticos del momento se oponían a la música disco, la cual dominaba la industria musical en el momento, y por tanto se abrieron a otros géneros en desarrollo como el punk rock, el hip hop y el heavy metal. Las influencias power pop y hard rock de The Knack les hicieron ganar cierta credibilidad entre la crítica. Al igual que otros les ridiculizaron por sus letras misóginas. Tras los siguientes trabajos, hubo una reacción adversa de la crítica hacia el grupo y éste se disolvió en un ambiente de disputas internas. El grupo se ha reunido periódicamente a lo largo de los años y en 2001 editó el álbum de estudio "Normal As The Next Guy" y un directo en DVD "Live From The Rock'N Roll Funhouse". En 2005, The Knack permanecía en activo y ofreciendo directos en diversos sitios.
Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.
Keeping it a mystery gets to me
Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.
Keeping it a mystery gets to me
Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw maybellene in a coup de ville.
A cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,
Nothin' will outrun my v8 ford.
The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,
She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,
It's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill.
First thing I saw that cadillac grille
Doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill.
Offhill curve, a downhill strecth,
Me and that cadillac neck by neck.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
The cadillac pulled up ahead of the ford,
The ford got hot and wouldn't do no more.
It then got clody and it started to rain,
I tooted my horn for a passin' lead
The rain water blowin' all under my hood,
I knew that was doin' my motor good.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound.
The cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.
The cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught maybellene at the top of the hill.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.
