E' arrivata l'ora di parlare del 1977 .

Sicuramente sono anni bui questi, dove il terrorismo semina panico in tutta Italia . Numerose sono le vittime di attentati (anche Indro Montanelli venne gambizzato) e la crisi economica non aiuta certo a migliorare il clima. E' l'anno, ahimè, della morte di Elvis Presley, avvenuta il 16 agosto, e ha inizio la trasmissione degli spot pubblicitari secondo il metodo attuale, non più con la trasmissione Carosello (terminata il 1° gennaio del '77). I risultati li vediamo tuttora ...

Musicalmente è un anno interessante, dato che iniziano la loro carriera gurppi come i Depeche Mode, i Police e i Dire Straits . Io però vado sempre alla ricerca del brano un po' particolare e propongo quindi la mitica "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" dei Santa Esmeralda . Baby, do you understand me now? ... Mah, non credo .

"Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you

Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other one
And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be, don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other one
And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be, don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood"
