Say say say

Corría el año 1983 y significaba la devolución del "favor" en el dueto que McCartney le había "regalado" en el "This Girls is Mine" para el Thriller (1982). Era la segunda colaboración entre Michael Jackson y Paul McCartney en los 80.

La canción fue incluida en el álbum en solitario de Paul McCartney Pipes of Peace (1983). Años después Michael compraría los derechos de canciones de los Beatles en una acción quizás no tan amistosa, aunque esa es otra historia que ahora no viene a cuento.

Era la época de esplendor de Michale Jackson, del talento desboradado. Época en la que certificó y consolidó su fama y reverencia mundial como el Rey del Pop.

La canción rezuma los aires más pop del rey aderezado con una buenas gotas del no menos talentoso McCartney (que no estaba en su mejor época post-Beatles...)

En resumen, una buena pieza de dos grandes genios, uno de los cuales, ya no podrá volver a demostrarlo.

Sirva de homenaje.

Videoclip original de la canción

Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection.
Take, take, take what you need
But don't leave me with no direction.

All alone, I sit home by the phone,
Waiting for you, baby (baby)
Through the years how can you stand to hear
My pleading for you, dear?
You know I'm crying.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, yeh, yeh.

Now, go, go, go where you want,,
But don't leave me here forever.
You, you, you stay away,
So long, dear, I see you never.

What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
'Cause I love you, baby (baby)
Standing here, baptised in all my tears,
Baby, through the years,
You know I'm crying.
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

Ee-ee-ee.

You got to say, say, say,
Got to say, say, say.

You never ever worry,
And you never shed a tear.
You're saying that my love ain't real,
Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying.

You, you, you can never say,
That I'm not the one who really loves you.
I pray, pray, pray every day
That you'll see things, girl, like I do.

What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
'Cause I love you, (love you) baby (baby)
Standing here, baptised in all my tears,
Baby, through the years.
You know I'm crying,
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

Ee-ee-ee.

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
You got to say, say, say.

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.
