No sé como ha pasado, en que momento justo, ni siquiera puedo acordarme de la primera vez que le vi, creo que este video con Julian Casablancas fue clave. Luego he buscado más vídeos y más gags, incluso he visto trozos de una película que no sé ni como se llama, y no puedo dejar de pensar en él. De repente me descubro escribiendo su nombre en un papel y encerrándolo en corazoncitos! Me ha costado un poco encontrar una página con fotos decentes (aunque pequeñas), y subir los vídeos es una odisea porque Hulu no opera en España, de momento ya le he votado como una de las personas más influyentes de 2010 según la revista Time! Lo siento Rain este año te quedas solo con las clouds!
La canción Boombox es un temazo!!
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
The stuffy old money, where the poor get snubbed
The spread is bland: sauerkraut and boiled goose
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
And what happened next will blow your mind
Everything got outta control
The music was so entrancing
Everyone got out on the floor
It was a bunch of old white people dancin
Now, picture if you will a bunch of businessmen
Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen
The ties around their necks are like a hangman's noose
In the middle of the table there's a boiled goose
The old-people smell makes you wanna puke in the sink
'These dudes'll never dance,' yeah that's what you think
I stride in the room, all young and hip
Hold up my boombox, and say: listen to this
Then everyone started to move
People rejoiced instead of financing
Your preconceived notions were shattered
By these super-old white people dancin
The Big Apple, where people never dance
Spirits go down while profits expand
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice?
The street vendors peddling their boiled goose
So many types of people, they'll never get along
Til I bust out my boombox and play this song
The music washed away all their hate
And society started advancing
Every demographic was represented
It was a Rainbow Coalition of dancing
Whoa...
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Whoa...
I saw a Spanish guy doin the Bartman
Transport now to an old folks home
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
The orderlies are stealing - there's no excuse
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose
So I grab my boombox and hit the turbo bass
And what happened next was a total disgrace
Everybody started havin sex
The music was way too powerful
A bunch of old people fuckin like rabbits
It was disgusting to say the least, oh
A boombox can change the world
But you gotta know your limits with a boombox
This was a cautionary tale
A boombox is not a toy
