Uncle Albert. McCartney RAM cover

One of the great ones of McCartney but always subject to work as an introduction or secundary track.
In this version I have tried to reivindicate it as an independent song linking the initial intro of the album with the reprise version.

Las Chicas de Atocha

Cover from original C to A.

You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
I call you on the telephone
My voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home 
But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets
I love to hear you say my name
Especially when you say, "Yes"
I got your body right now on my mind
But I drunk myself blind
To the sound of old T-Rex
To the sound of old T-Rex
Oh, and Who's Next?
When I say, "I love you, " you say, "You better"
(You better, you better, you bet)
When I say, "I need you, " you say, "You better"
(You better, you better, you bet)
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife
I want those feeble minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture, I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
Ooh, a little is alright
When you say, "Come over and spend the night"
Tonight, tonight
When I say, "I love you, " you say, "You better"
(You better, you better, you bet)
When I say, "I need you, " you say, "You better"
(You better, you better, you bet)
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you, cut you like a knife
I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying, "You better
You better bet your life"
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know I've been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy, sometime
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line every time
And when it comes to all night living
I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee
And it's free

And Your Bird Can Sing - GÜNTER - Beatles cover

Una versión del clásico de music hall americano  de 1935 (Mitchell Parish / Jean Delettre). Un oldie del que estaba (y estoy) enamorado que ha sido cantado por Dean Martin o Sarah Vaughan. Esta es la versión que más me gusta: spotify:track:307e1cGO4zt6R8hAcirclT. De la banda sonora de "Pennies From Heaven". 
La letra es inventada, en las sesiones Tascam no le di importancia a las voces (error)Otro desajuste se produce entre la persucsión original y la nueva, bombos y claquetas que no coinciden ... pecados técnicos.

Superman (Wish I Could Fly Like) - The Kinks - GÜNTER cover

A very loving cover of one of my favorite songs ever. Trying to reduce the intense bass line of the original, do not misunderstand me, I respect that arrange, just find it may was little excessive. We miss you Robert.

SHE MAKES MY DAY

I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up in a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl everyday
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her
(She trusts her intuition, that's in our best interest)
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She fills my heart with joy, she makes my day
(She make a difference, she had a smiling face)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand, to make me stay.
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares
In less time than it takes to fall,
I'm here and there you are
We never fought it anyway
(She trusts her intuition, that's in our best interest)
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She fills my heart with joy, she makes my day
(She make a difference, she had a smiling face)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand, to make me stay.

She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once
She's all good loving at once

I LIE AROUND

All over the place
It seems that I have no choice in the matter
Roll along wheel of fortune, as you roll along I stick around
Furthermore in the country I will lay my burden down
All over the place
All over the place
All over the place
All over the place
Too long have I been the heart of the matter
All along I was only over tired and overtaken
Furthermore in the country I will lay my burden down
All over the place
So long, bye bye, it was fun while it mattered
Roll along wheel of fortune, as you roll along I stick around
Furthermore in the country I will lay my burden down
Yes, I lie around
All over the place
All over the place
All over the place
I lie around, around
Around, lie around

SUPERNOVA UNIVERSAL 

La sensación de que todo va a volver a empezar
La creación, que une principio y final.
Todos van
Al festival 

Y danzaréis hasta que de nuevo salga el sol
Despertaréis por encima de la oscuridad
Todos van
A saludar
A la Supernova Universal

Y los campos y mares renacerán 
Los planetas y estrellas proyectarán 
Cielo y paz
Proyectarán
La Supernova Universal

La humanidad ya no tiene que vivir con temor
Los templos son lugares de celebración
Novios van
Al altar
Para ver
Estallar
La Supernova Universal

SUPERNOVA UNIVERSAL -original mix -

An experiment exciting and very funny. It is about making 60’s pop classic covers with musicians friends I met around the World.

I make a base track, send to a friend, and he record (very basic tech requirements) and resend me with his vocal or instrument track. Everything on line. We mix  and … MAGIC!

This is the first Coverama. A Harrison song from beatle’s Revolver.

With the participation of Chicca Biro (Italy) y Rosco (Spain). Thank you very much Francesca de Fazi and Rubén Tajuelo. You are great and you are my friends.
