¿Sabías que...?

Robert Mitchum cantaba y componía también. Ha habido muchos actores y actrices de Hollywood que se dedicaron a la música, unos con mayor suerte que otros claro está, y algunos de ellos sorprendentes, como es el caso que nos ocupa.

Y es que viendo a este hombre, tan grande, íntegro, en esos papeles de tío imperturbable resolviendo las situaciones complicadas como si no fuesen con él, resulta difícil verlo cantando -y eso que hizo papeles en los que cantaba-, y más aún cuando tras un viaje a Trinidad y Tobago para el rodaje de una película, conoció el Calypso (género musical afro-caribeño originario de allí).


Decidió hacer un album "Calypso, is like so", en el que se incluye el tema "From a logical point of view" -puedes escucharlo aquí- que dice así:

If you want to be happy living a king’s life
never make a pretty woman your wife
If you want to be happy living a king’s life
never make a pretty woman your wife
Now all you have to do is just what I say
and then you may be jolly, merry and gay

Therefore, from a logical point of view
better marry a woman uglier than you
(chorus)
From a logical point of view
always marry a woman uglier than you

A pretty woman make a husband look small
and very often causes dawnfall
Soon as she marries then and there she starts
to do the things that will break your heart
And when you thing that she is belonging to you
she is calling somebody else to do

Man, from a logical point of view
better marry a woman uglier than you
(chorus)
From a logical point of view
always marry a woman uglier than you

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
you can be sure you will be happy in all your life
She will never do things in a funny way
to allow the neighbour have things to say
She wouldn’t disregard the husband at all
by exhibiting herself too bitter and cold

Man, from a logical point of view
better marry a woman uglier than you
(chorus)
From a logical point of view
always marry a woman uglier than you

An ugly woman give your meals on time
and try to make you comfortable in mind
At times when you lie sick in your cosy bed
she will both caress you and scratch your head
And not a minute in the night will she leave you alone
it seems you want to melt the cold from your bone

Man, from a logical point of view
better marry a woman uglier than you
(chorus)
From a logical point of view
always marry a woman uglier than you

If a man that’s not your friend
say that you have no taste
marry an ugly woman above disgrace
one who is cute, looking barbarous and rough
the skin like alligator, bumpy and tough
pigeon-hole, bull-leg, across in her eye
she got two lips that look like a big bow tie

Boy, from a logical point of view
better marry a woman uglier than you
(chorus)
From a logical point of view
always marry a woman uglier than you
From a logical point of view
always marry a woman uglier than you

Que si quieres ser feliz, cásate con una mujer más fea que tú ;)
