Don’t Download This Song

El otro día, nuestro buen amigo Diego (TecnoTigre) comentaba que la SGAE no le cae especialmente bien, pues para que mi buen amigo Teddy Bautista compruebe que no todo el mundo en este blog tiene esos pensamientos propios de un delincuente, quiero presentaros a mi nuevo ídolo de la canción: "Weird Al" Yankovic y su nuevo single "Don’t Download This Song", extraido del disco "Straight Outta Lynwood".

La letra de la canción, para los no inciados al inglés o para aquellos a los cuales Dominicos y el curata de turno haya jodido el futuro en el extranjero, es la siguiente:

Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge
To break international copyright law
By downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites
Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA

But deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad
And the shame would leave a permanent scar
‘Cause you start out stealing songs and then you’re robbing liquor stores
And sellin’ crack and runnin’ over school kids with your car

So don’t download this song
The record store’s where you belong
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh, don’t download this song

Oh, you don’t wanna mess with the R-I-double-A
They’ll sue you if you burn that CD-R
It doesn’t matter if you’re a grandma or a seven year old girl
They’ll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are

So don’t download this song
Don’t go pirating music all day long
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh, don’t download this song

Don’t take away money from artists just like me
How else can I afford another solid gold Hum-Vee
And diamond-studded swimming pools
These things don’t grow on trees
So all I ask is, “Everybody, please…”

Don’t donwload this song (Don’t do it, no, no)
Even Lars Ulrich knows it’s wrong (You can just ask him)
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (You really should)
Oh, don’t download this song

Don’t donwload this song (Oh please, don’t you do it)
Or you might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (Remember Tommy)
Go and buy the CD (Right now) like you know that you should (Go out and buy it)
Oh, don’t download this song

Don’t download this song (No, no, no, no, no, no)
You’ll burn in hell before too long (and you’ll deserve it)
Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (You cheap bastard)
Oh, don’t download this song

Podreis comprobar el profundo sentido de la ironía de este autor que va por el 12 disco, espero que David (me da igual Bustamante o el Bisbal) no lleguen a esta cantidad. Si os fijais, en la canción comenta que una abuela y una niña de 12 años fueron denunciadas por la RIAA por descargar música a través del KaZaA, pues es muy cierto.

Aqui os dejo el video musical de la canción, muy bueno, para mi gusto.
