Lou Reed – Perfect Day (Later w/Jools Holland, 2003)

Here’s to the late great Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013), a true American original, seen and heard above on the BBC Two show, “Later… with Jools Holland,” from 2003. Who could ever replace him? Who will give us the next “perfect day”?

Here’s another version: Lou Reed and Elvis Costello performing “Perfect Day,” sometime around 2008-2010(?):

Chips, chips: Via Con Me, by Paolo Conte

No matter how dark of a mood might ever overtake you, I defy you to not be happy when you hear this song. It’s wonderful…. Chips, chips!

The accompanying video scenes, though unrelated, fit the mood quite nicely. They were taken from the films, “Top Hat” (1935), “Shall We Dance” (1937) and “Swing Time” (1936), starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
 
Via Con Me
by Paolo Conte

Via Con Me Away with me

Via, via, vieni via di qui,
niente più ti lega a questi luoghi,
neanche questi fiori azzurri…
via, via, neanche questo tempo grigio
pieno di musiche e di uomini che ti son piaciuti,

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful
good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips,
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du

Via, via, vieni via con me
entra in questo anore buio, non perderti per niente al mondo
via, via, non perderti per niente al mondo
Lo spettacolo d’ arte varia di uno innamorato di te,

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful
good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips, chips
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du

Via, via, vieni via con me,
entra in questo amore buio pieno di uomini
via, via, entra e fatti un bagno caldo
c’è un accappatoio azzurro, fuori piove un mondo freddo,

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful
good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips,
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du

Away, away, get away with me
Nothing more binds you to these places
Not even these blue flowers
Let’s get away, let’s get away, not even this grey time
Full of musics and people that you liked

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful
good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips,
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du

Away Away, let’s get away
Enter this dark love, don’t get lost for anything in the world
away, away, don’t get lost for anything in the world
The art spectacle differs depending on someone who is in love with you

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful
good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips, chips
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du

Away, away, let’s get away.
Enter this dark love full of people
Away, away, enter and take a warm bath
There s a blue bath gown (nearby), it rains a cold world outside

It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful
good luck my babe, it’s wonderful,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, I dream of you…

chips, chips,
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du
Ci bum ci bum bum
Da ti du di du

Not even this grey time full of musics and people that you liked…enter and take a warm bath…it rains a cold world outside. All hail Paolo Conte!

A “lyrical flowchart” of Hey Jude by The Beatles

Smart branding from Lucid Software, a company that makes the Lucidchart charting software. (Just don’t tell the Beatles.)

UPDATE: Don’t adjust your sets! Unfortunately, the Beatles did find out, so the audio track has been muted by YouTube on the video above. So you’ll have to supply your own soundtrack.
