gargantas que dão nó na música: Mike Patton

Há músicas que dão nó na garganta. Muitas - e muitos nós. Mas o contrário também sucede. Se Frank Sinatra foi "A Voz", Mike Patton é sem dúvida "A Garganta". Ei-lo aqui num concerto com os Faith No More em Santiago do Chile. O animal toma conta do palco: pega num objecto perfeitamente identificado, tem uma entrada precipitada pela qual se deculpa e exibe sem quaisquer pruridos os seus dotes vocais (urros incluídos). Uma interpretação intensa que, perto do final, deixa os espectadores das primeiras filas e o próprio Patton a salivar. It`s a dirty job.

We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees about Los Angeles falling in the sea about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought About disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock... (Yeah!) We care a lot About the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks about the people who live off the street about the welfare of all you boys and girls about you people cause we're out to save the world (Yeah!) and it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it! Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it...

We care a lot about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines about the NY, SF, and LAPD about you people, about your guns about the wars you're fighting gee, that looks like fun We care a lot about the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T about the little things, the bigger things we top about you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot !
