We need a man that is simple perfection
There's nothing that's harder to find
Someone to lead us protect us and feed us
And help us to make up our minds
We need a man that's sophisticated
Quiet and strong and well educated
Where to go what to do
Could it be somebody super like you?
We need a man that can stand as a symbol
And symbols have got to be tall
Someone with taste and the tiniest waist
With his help would not life be a ball
If we had fun he would not restrain us
If we got caught he would just explain us
Where to go what to do
Could it be somebody super like you?
We pledge allegiance to his gracefulness
And charming manners
With a voice that's both sides choice
He'll bring us to our knees in admiration
He is king of all who see and hear
His perfect pitch and more surprises
When his time is come a stallion rises
We need a man with a head on his shoulders
A nose that is simply divine
Hollywood smile and a perfect profile
And with eyes that would sparkle and shine
Long flowing hair for a crowning glory
There'd be a man who could tell our story
Where to go what to do
Could it be somebody super like you?
We pledge allegiance to his gracefulness
And charming manners
With a voice that's both sides choice
He'll bring us to our knees in admiration
He is king of all who see and hear
His perfect pitch and more surprises
When his time is come a stallion rises!
Rises...rises...rises!

Parte de la noche la pasé viendo un montonal de películas que hacía años no me daba el tiempo de volver a ver, entre ellas Phantom of the Paradise. Todas las canciones que ahí hacen gala son buenísimas (de la autoría de Paul Williams, quien por cierto también tiene un papel ahí), pero después de Faust (descansa en paz, William Finley) esta es mi favorita de toda la tanda por su onda rockera, por las referencias a Frankenstein, Psycho y The Cabinet of Dr. Calligari, y por el numerito con final letal que se monta a su alrededor.
Es una película buenísima para disfrutar de lo que queda del fin de semana y recordar igual que Mr. Williams en su tiempo, aún existen géneros y autores talentosísimos que esperan ser descubiertos por las generaciones nuevas y anteriores.
Eso sí: no se pongan a bailar como como pollo descabezado como lo hizo Jessica Harper, ya ven que hasta en las convenciones todo mundo la recuerda por eso.

Me encanta esa peli, no sabía que William Finley había muerto. "Somebody super like you" me recuerda las épocas de elecciones.
Saludos!!
