Rolling Stones é um daqueles grupos que irá aparecer aqui muitas vezes, pelo menos no que me diz respeito. Com quase 50 anos de carreira e embora a base tenha sido sempre o rock'n roll/blues, abordaram por diversas vezes outras sonoridades, como foi o caso desta Undercover Of The Night, onde com um um groove de rock que nos põe a bater o pé, junta-se um feeling ligeiramente disco que se torna uma mistura irresistível. Embora tenha sido o primeiro single do álbum, passou um pouco ao lado do público em geral talvez pela sua letra política (que é uma das principais razões pela qual eu a escolho para figurar aqui - o vídeo chegou a ser censurado) que retrata situações que ainda hoje são actuais sendo uma delas o rapto de pessoas por parte de guerrilhas rebeldes da América Central e América do Sul - sobretudo ligadas ao tráfico de droga - para depois exigir resgates exorbitantes ao governo ou às suas famílias. Eu tenho um fraco por canções de protesto ou de alto teor político e neste caso tem-se o brinde de a música ser completamente groovie.
Hear the screams of Center 42
Loud enough to bust your brains out
The opposition's tongue is cut in two
Keep off the street 'cause you're in danger
One hundred thousand disparus
Lost in the jails in South America
CURL up baby
CURL up tight
CURL up baby
Keep it all out of sight
Undercover
Keep it all out of sight
Undercover of the night
The sex police are out there on the streets
Make sure the pass laws are not broken
The race militia has got itchy fingers
All the way from New York back to Africa
Cuddle up baby
Keep it all out of sight
Cuddle up baby
Sleep with all out of sight
Cuddle up baby
Keep it all out of sight
Undercover
Undercover
Undercover
Keep it all out of sight
Undercover of the night
All the young men they've been rounded up
And sent to camps back in the jungle
And people whisper people double-talk
And once proud fathers act so humble
All the young girls they have got the blues
They're heading on back to Center 42

undercover
all out of sight
Undercover
all out of sight
Undercover
all out of sight
Undercover of the night
Down in the bars the girls are painted blue
Done up in lace, done up in rubber
The John's are jerky little G.I. Joe's
On R&R from Cuba and Russia
The smell of sex, the smell of suicide
All these things I can't keep inside
Undercover
all out of sight
Undercover of the night
Undercover of the night

Pah, nem eu conhecia esta. Não sou fã de Rolling Stones, por isso a contribuição será mesmo quase só tua. Mas manda vir! Ainda me apresentas alguma que eu fique de ouvido atento. ;)
Hmm... também não conhecia, mas é deveras interessante! :)
