"The Ballroom Blitz"-1973
The Sweet era una banda inglesa muy destacada del pop-rock de la década de los 70, abanderados del llamado "glam rock" que empezaron a funcionar como profesionales en 1968 hasta el 1982. Tres años de silencio y un deseo irrefrenable de volver a los escenarios hicieron que, de nuevo, se pusieran sus llamativos trajes para continuar su etapa musical hasta hoy en día.
Temas de puro rock, o incursiones muy comerciales en sus comienzos, con ese prototipo de vestuario, maquillaje y plataformas tan típico de esta época.
El tema que siempre me gustó especialmente de ellos es este "The Ballroom Blitz" que fué número 1 en varios Países en 1973.

LA LETRA
THE BALLROOM BLITZ
(CHAPMAN, MICHAEL DONALD / CHINN, NICHOLAS BARRY)
Are you ready Steve? Uh-huh
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay
Alright fellas - let's go!
Oh it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay
Alright fellas - let's go!
Oh it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see a man in the back as a matter of fact
His eyes were as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner that no one ignores
Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
CHORUS
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-Yeah-Yeah
And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Oh reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you
And the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye
Oh Yeah! It was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
Cause they all stopped breathing
CHORUS Repeat
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
CHORUS Repeat
It's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
His eyes were as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner that no one ignores
Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
CHORUS
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-Yeah-Yeah
And the man in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Oh reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you
And the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye
Oh Yeah! It was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
Cause they all stopped breathing
CHORUS Repeat
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
CHORUS Repeat
It's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
