Dick Van Dyke em Ritmo de Rap!
Após décadas de ritmos comportados em musicais como O Calhambeque Mágico/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang e Mary Poppins, o ator de The Dick Van Dyke Show surpreendeu os fãs com uma curiosa parceria. A convite do bateirista do Red Chili Peppers, Chad Smith, ele está participando do CD rap The Rhythm Train, destinado a crianças.
Sobre esta experiência inusitada, o ator declarou: "Na minha idade, na minha geração, são somos muito loucos por rap. O rap tem uma batida legal, mas juro que nunca entendo uma única palavra. Não faço idéia do que estão dizendo."
Querem ver como o rapper Dick Van Dyke está se saindo?
I’m your DVD man, yes ma’am, let me explain
I’m gonna take you ridin’ on a rhythm train
This train’s gonna travel wherever we choose
We got the hip hop, be bop, rock ‘n’ roll blues
Mexico, Africa, dinosaur times
Always got the rhythms,
Always got the rhymes
Every kind of music that you’re gonna meet
Got the one thing going - we call it THE BEAT
Beat is always driving, driving it along
Backbeat, backbeat, driving the song
Makes you feel happy, makes you feel alive
Wanna shake, wanna shimmy
Do the hip hop jive
Are you wondering ‘bout a ticket
A cost, or a fee?
Think no more about it
Leave everything to me
Just kindly close your eyes
And lend me an ear
Take all the time you need
To see if you can hear
THE RHYTHM
Rhythm is a ticky ticky ticky ticky tock
Rhythm is a heartbeat
Rhythm is a clock
Mad like a thundercloud
Happy like a walk
Light like a raindrop
Heavy like a rock
Anything can make it, if you open your ear
Anything’s a rhythm if you choose to hear:
Lawn mower, leaf blower, engine fan
How about a stick on a garbage can?
Congas, bongos, frying pans
Fingersnaps, thighslaps, clap your hands
It could be machinery, a 60 cycle hum
It could be a drummer on a rock and roll drum
It takes a certain kinda talent
To keep a rhythm going
To keep it from speeding
To keep it from slowing
It takes a lotta patience
And a really open mind
It takes a lotta listening to
Really really find
The rhythm..the rhythm..the rhythm..
But also kinda watching
From the outside in
To make sure that you’re staying in the place you’ve been
A drummer is a very special person that way
Keeps the train on the track
Not too slow, not too fast
Even if you don’t really
Notice he’s around
The drummer is the one who will
Never let you down
While all the other instruments
Are playing along
The drummer is the one who helps you
Build your song!
