David Bowie: "Pablo Picasso"


En 2003 D. Bowie realizó un cover  homenaje a Pablo Picasso en su album "Reality". Es una versión a la original canción realizada en 1976 por el grupo The Modern Lovers.
El video que ilustra la canción fue realizado como proyecto DEA de final de carrera por Stephane Evezard, cuando era un estudiante de arte en la Universidad de París.  Dada la excelente calidad muchos pensaron que se trataba de un video oficial de promoción y no el trabajo fin de año de un joven estudiante de arte.

Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablo's feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails

Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablo's feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails

Well some people try to pick up girls
They get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso

The girls would turn the colour of a juicy avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado

He could walk down your street
Girls could not resist his stare
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Not like you
Wow!

Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablo's feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails

Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablo's feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails

He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole

Well the girls would turn the colour of a juicy avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado

Well he was only 5'3"
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York
Wow!

Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablo's feeling better now
Hanging by his finger nails

Swinging on the back porch
Jumping off a big log
Pablo's feeling better now
Hanging by his picture nails

But girls could not resist his stare

Not in New York

Oh well, so be not schmuck, be not obnoxious
Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole

And girls could not resist his stare, and so
