COPE
Mar Amate. Alberto Herrera y Fernando Salaverri hoy tienen en cuenta que el robot espacial Perseverance, hace unos días amartizó, es decir, llegó a la superficie del planeta Marte en busca de posible (y hay quien afirma que, de probable) vida, hoy han querido traer al programa, canciones que hablan de Marte y de sus habitantes, los marcianos. Más que nada, para ir haciéndonos el cuerpo, en el caso de que tengamos en breve, que iniciar con ellos, una relación de algún tipo, aunque también, traemos composiciones que de paso, hablan del cosmos, de cohetes espaciales, de la luna y las estrellas: "Cosmic Girl" por Jamiroquai de 1996. "Rocket man" por Elton John de 1972. "Life of Mars?" por David Bowie de 1971. "Virginia Moon" por Foo Fighters Ft. Norah Jones de 2006. "Serenade from the stars" por Steve Miller Band de 1976 y "Los marcianos" por Manolo Diaz de 1967

1.- Jamiroquai - "Cosmic Girl"
Cosmic Girl
I must've died and gone to heaven
'Cause it was quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing
It was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella
With the stars as her umbrella
She asked me if I'd like to magnetise
Do I have to go star-trekking
'Cause it's you I should be checking
So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic
I'm scanning all my radars
Well she said she's from a quasar
Forty thousand million light years away
It's a distant solar system
Tried to phone but they don't list 'em
So I asked her for her number all the same
She said, "step in my transporter
So I can teleport ya
All around my heavenly body"
Oh, this could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyperspace
When I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
Transmitting on her frequency
Yeah cosmic, oh
Can't you be my cosmic woman?
I need you, I want you
To be my cosmic girl, for the rest of time
Oh, I'm losing my love
Oh, my cosmic girl yeah
She gives me ecstasy
2.- Elton John - "Rocket man"
Rocket man
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour 9:00 a.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did
And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a-
3.- David Bowie - "Life of Mars?"
Life of Mars?
It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
4.- Foo Fighters Feat. Norah Jones - "Virginia Moon"
Virginia Moon
Dearest constellation
Heaven surrounding you
Stay there, soft and blue
Virginia Moon, I'll wait for you tonight
Sweetest invitation
Breaking the day in two
Feeling like I do
Virginia Moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind, we're through
And tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight
Secret fascination
Whisper a quiet tune
Hear me calling you
Virginia Moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind, we're through
And tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight
Virginia Moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind, we're through
And tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight
5.- Steve Miller Band - "Serenade from the stars"
Serenade from the stars
Did you see the lights
As they fell all around you?
Did you hear the music ?
A serenade from the stars
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space and the time is our own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah
Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you?
Did you feel the love
That was in the air?
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space and the time is our own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah
The sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in space and the earth is your own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
6.- Manolo Díaz - "Los marcianos"
