Zappa1Ich finde die Them Version auch weitaus besser als die von den Doors.
Wobei ich Pattis „Gloria“ nie als wirkliche Coverversion gesehen habe.
Sie hat einen völlig neuen Song daraus gemacht.
Und bitte, bitte, bitte schreib‘ Patti nicht mit „ie“, das tut mir in den Augen weh…;-)
Also die Doors version ist textlich aber schon anders. Das hier kommt nur bei ihnen vor, oder?
You were my queen and I was your fool,
Riding home after school.
You took me home, babe
To your house.
Your father’s at work,
Your momma’s out shopping around.
Took me into your room.
Show me your thing.
Why’d you do it, baby?Getting softer.
Slow it down.
Softer.
Get it down.
Now you show me your thing.
Now why don’t you wrap
Your lips around my cock, baby.
(Whoa! Suck it.)
Yeah.
(Taste it.)
Wrap your legs around my neck.
(Eat it.)
And wrap you arms around my feet, yeah.
(Lick it.)
Wrap your hair around my skin.
(whistle)
Yeah.
I’m gonna eat ya, honey, yeah.
(Come on.)
I’m gonna eat ya, baby, yeah.
I’m gonna – huh, all right.
Okay, yeah.It’s getting harder.
(It’s getting harder)
Getting faster, too.
(Getting longer.)
It’s getting too darn fast,
It’s gotta wiggle around too much.
(Work it.)
It’s getting harder.
It’s gonna rip you in two, honey.All right.
Come on, love
Now, let’s get it on.
Too late, too late, too late,
Too late, too late, too late.
Can’t stop.
Make me feel all right, babe.
