my transformation of Back in The U.S.S.R. on Beatles White Album
the lyrics through a kind of distorted looking glass
[intro flight, from Ringo to Rio]
[first verse]
Feathers fill the jungle air with city sun,
shining all around your waist
By the way banana stocks grows pretty fun
Girl, you've got a fruitful taste!
[R A]
You're Back with Your Back in Brazil
Please Gimme Some Samba Until...
I'm Back on My Back in Brazil
[second verse]
Never been some place like this, a paradise
B! seems like two golden boobs
If I'm still awake tomorrow - will your dice (??)
roll us up to 22
[R B]
I'm Back on My Back in Brazil
Please Gimme Some Samba Until You're
Back with Your Back in
Back with Your Back in
Back with Your Back in Brazil
[stick]
Some of Chile's cheerleaders blows my mind
They dance like life were short
But Rio still shows a better kind
No tortoise never run run run run, run run run run, runs for sport
[solo]
[third verse]
Show us straight to big round things like cocoanuts,
pineapples so full of joy!
Let us hear your finger bells cling close to butts;
drum another dream for boys!
[R A]
You're Back with Your Back in Brazil
Please Gimme Some Samba Until...
I'm Back on My Back in Brazil
[outro flight]
Dance while Ringo play now!
[though Starr never did on this track...
well, I even used to believe Ringo was the one who sang it
but McCartney can do magic]

Mad Alice not Opening Her Mirror
my transformation of Dear Prudence
on Beatles White Album
Lennons lyrics through a bit distorted looking glass
still about (wrong kind of) meditation :
Mad Alice, will you stay in your cave?
Mad Alice, like the earliest grave?
The clouds are out
Our town is black
Your moon is white
This track leads back
Mad Alice, will you live anyway?
Mad Alice, close that magazine!
Mad Alice, truth lies in between...
The world is mad
Some owls can laugh
Your mouse is dead
on photograph
Mad Alice, will you realise you dream?!
Feel them near, near, near...
Hear them fear, fear, fear...
See them here!
Mad Alice, why we hear you moan?
Mad Alice, be a woman soon?
The sun will take
my glasses on [no, off]
So let us feel
more glad than tough
Mad Alice, don't you want another room?

Crossing Zebra Road
originally intended to be an inverted reflection of "Why Don't We Do it in The Road?", but rather became something along the lines of "Revolution part 1"
Some miles ahead of Abbey Road
a year or two before The Beatles' end
we discovered a more specially chocking
zebra crossing which twisted our minds
with unbelievably BLACK stripes
on a very WHITE, unwinding street
well, yes monkey, you saw right!
but we heard a bird complain from left:
"Why do people like to cross this zebra
more than any other fucking thing?!
Why can't they treat every street as equals?!"
then while our old brown shoes
stepped on that crazy creature
so curiously but lazy
for the 4.444:th time
like Beatles rolled over Beethoven
our reason began to (r)evolve:
"How boring if no road were unique...!
and if every street deserved the same
amount of attention - then
how could we dare to adore...?
and why would one bother to love anymore
one's favourite zebra some more than some horse?!"

White Bird (my first white beatle)
Transformation inspired by BlackBird, maybe most melodic track on Beatles' white album
a tune I thought was written in India but just found out it was born in Scotland?!
White bird screaming in the morning sun
takes that student hat
down to the bay,
rides away
We will always long for
her to visit us some day
Beetle fly!
beetle fly!
out of the black
into summer white
Seagull cry!
seagull cry!
out of your nest
to some city bright
White bird screaming in the morning sun
makes me shake these knees
of love and fear
- if comes near...
We were always dreaming
she would visit us some day

Radio City with Big Star
Big Star's second record seems at first to be a boring step back, but soon explodes slowly... revealing the most artful, melodical plants in straight, splendid rock ground. Seems strange as well as natural to know this was created 1974, not four years earlier nor four years later. From the almost mid-70's I usually enjoy glam rock more than anything, but here I don't hear and don't miss the glam at all.
as my Summer Album 14 : 64
most Grounded song: MOD LANG
most Sexy song: BACK OF A CAR
most Strong song: O MY SOUL
most Beautiful song: SEPTEMBER GURLS
most Amusing song: SHE'S A MOVER
most Mysterious song: MORPHA TOO
most Soulful song: LIFE IS WHITE
Reminds me most of
The Move
Neil Young
Badfinger
Thin Lizzy
The Byrds
McCartney with The Wings
The Who
Todd Rundgren
Gyllene Tider
Overall Album
6 compositions
5 instrumentations
7 feeling
2 philosophy
2 timeline (order of tracks)
3 concept (titles, cover picture)
7 historical importance
= 32
I now give 1-7 for each cathegory
where 3 is good and total possible 7 x 7 = 49 never exist(?)

Built For Speed with Stray Cats
Obviously some could make real classical Rock'n'Roll even in the early 80's. Best attempt I've heard since Rockpile. Actually Dave Edmunds has co-written "Rock This Town" while almost everything is Brian Setzer's work.
as my Summer Album 14 : 62
most Grounded song: REV IT UP & GO (Big Old Bum)
most Sexy song: JEANNIE, JEANNIE, JEANNIE
most Strong song: RUMBLE IN BRIGHTON

most Amusing song: RUNAWAY BOYS
most Mysterious song: STRAY CAT STRUT
most Soulful song: ROCK THIS TOWN

Bossanova Swap Meet with Atomic Swing
as my Summer Album 14 : 61
Atomic Swing is a swedish group I should have discovered closer during early 90's, never really realised how they play like the best bands in the world! This second record has less hits than their first, but right now every tune seems a superhit!
most Grounded song: STUCK ON A WORN-OUT RHYME
most Sexy song: LIKE A JOHN NEEDS A YOKO
most Strong song: MOON AGE REVOLUTION
most Beautiful song: ENVY MOON
most Amusing song: TEENAGE DIVINA
most Mysterious song: BOSSANOVA SWAP MEET
most Soulful song: HOODOOD IN MAMOU
Reminds me most of

Rolling Stones
Traffic
Kinks
David Bowie
