The Kooks son una banda inglesa de indie rock, que toma nombre de una canción de David Bowie. Saltaron a la fama con la canción Naïve, que fue escrita por el cantante Luke Pritchard cuando sólo tenía 16 años, pero la que voy a poner hoy es otra, Ooh la. La letra tiene una frase que me gusta mucho, así que aprovecho y pongo canción y frase… “El mundo puede ser un lugar muy grande, así que sé tú mismo y no te quedes fuera de lugar”.

Por cierto que me ha parecido curioso que alguna gente, sobre todo del Reino Unido, no les gusta este grupo por el acento que dicen que tiene. La verdad es que no aprecié ningún acento forzado, e incluso me resulta fácil entender lo que dicen en las letras y me gusta la manera de cantar, quizás Sirventes o la gente acostumbrada al acento inglés sí sea capaz de diferenciarlos (seguro que con tres meses viviendo allí se diferencia eso y mucho más!).

In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
That you love it here, you’ve got to stay
On the bottom of the rock, an island
On which you find you love it when you twitch
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
Your pretty pretty pettycoat

Then you smiled, he got wild
You didn’t understand that there’s money to be made
Beauty is a card that must get played
By organisation

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

The world can be a very big place
So be yourself don’t get out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to Hollywood

And don’t be a star, it’s such a drag
Take care of yourself, don’t begin to lag
It’s a hard life to live, so live it well
I’ll be your friend and not in pretend
I know you girl
In all situations

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat
In all situations

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
