Joya 010 - JSK010

Spanish

Tomando como punto de partida la celebración del número diez, cambiamos el formato de la joya acompañando el video correspondiente a la rola (perdonen la baja calidad eran los años 90). Considerada por fanáticos y estudiosos como una de las razones por las que la electrónica pudo llegar hasta el futuro, es una joya de culto de inicio porque la letra es en realidad un cántico de doble sentido en alabanza a cierta droga y que muchos en su ignorancia la cantaban alegremente sin tomar en cuenta el mensaje críptico de sus autores. El escándalo pronto llego a la BBC que decidió censurarla por considerarla inapropiada ante las fuertes presiones del gobierno inglés que de forma clara demostró una total ineficiencia para luchar contra la gran explosión de las drogas químicas que encontraron cobijo en el vertiginoso fenómeno rave.
Mr C es un personaje que en su "outfit" de rigor explota la canción a fondo como pocas personas podrían haberlo hecho. Por esto y miles de razones más es una joya que evidentemente se atesora.

English

We start “jewel” number 10, changing a little bit the usual format of the “jewel” and we now include the video instead of the song (forgive us for the lack of quality of the vid, after all it was the early 90s). Considered by fans and scholars alike as one of the reasons why the electronic made its way into the future, the song is a cult theme amongst many reasons because it´s actually a double-meaning song in praise of a certain drug and oddly enough many people back in the day were unaware of this fact, singing it without taking into account the cryptic message of the authors. The scandal soon forces the BBC to censor it, because it was considered inappropriate due to the strong pressure of the English Government who was clearly incapable of doing something against the wave of chemical drugs fueled by the rave phenomenon.
Mr C was a unique character who in this outdated outfit fully exploits the song as very few people could had. For this and thousands of more reasons, this is a “jewel” that is treasured by a lot of good-hearted people.




La letra/ Lyrics:

A great philosopher once wrote
Naughty, naughty, very naughty
Ha ha ha ha ha

There's a guy in the place
He's got a bittersweet face
And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode
His friends call him Eezer and he is the main geezer
And he'll vibe about the place like no other man could
He's refined, he's sublime, he makes you feel fine
Though very much maligned and misunderstood
But if you know Eezer he's a real crowd pleaser
He's ever so good, he's Ebeneezer Goode
You can see that he's mischievious, mysterious and devious
When he circulates amongst the people in the place
But once you know he's fun and something of a genius
He gives a grin that goes around from face to face to face
Backwards and then forwards, forwards and then backwards
Eezer is the geezer who loves to muscle in
That's about the time the crowd all shout the name of Eezer
As he's kotcheled in the corner, laughing by the bass bin

E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode

Has anybody got any veras
Lovely
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha

A great philosopher once wrote
Naughty, naughty, very naughty
Ha ha ha ha ha

Ebeneezer Goode, leading light of the scene
Know what I mean, see
He created the vibe
He takes you for a ride and as if by design
The party ignites like he's comin alive
He takes you to the top, shakes you all around
Then back down, you know as he gets mellow
Then as smooth as the groove that is making you move
He glides into your mind with a sunny Hello
A gentleman of leisure, he's there for your pleasure
But go easy on old Eezer he's the love you could lose
Extraordinary fellow, like Mr. Punchinello
He's the kind of geezer who must never be abused
When you're in town and Ebeneezer is around
You can sense a presence in the sound of the crowd
He gets them all at it, the party starts rocking
The people get excited it's time to shout loud

E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode

Got any salmon Sorted
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
Oh what a carry on, ha ha ha ha ha
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
Wicked
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode
Oh what a carry on, ha ha ha ha ha
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
Wicked
E's are Good, E's are Good
He's Ebeneezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode
E's are Good, E's are Good
