» Johnny Can't Read - Don Henley «

Football, baseball, basket ball games
Drinkin' bear, kickin' ass and takin' down names
With the top down, get-a-round, shootin' the line
Summer is here and Johnny's feelin' fine

But Johnny can't read
Summer is over and he's gone to seed
You know that Johnny can't read
He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need

Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
Johnny can hang out; Johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up

But Johnny can't read
Summer is over and he's gone to seed
You know that Johnny can't read
He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need

Well, is it Teacher's fault? Oh No!
Is it Mommy's fault? Oh No!
Is it society's fault? Oh No!
Well is it Johnny's fault? OhhHHH NooOOO!

Couple years later, Johnny's on the run
Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun
Well, he went and did something that he shouldn't oughta done
F.B.I. on his tail "Use A Gun-Go To Jail"

But Johnny can't read
Summer is over and he's gone to seed
You know that Johnny can't read
He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need

Well is is Teacher's fault? Oh No
Is it Mommie's fault? Oh No
Is it the President's fault? Oh No
Well is it Johnny's fault? OhhHHH NooOOO!

Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
Johnny can pinball; Johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up

Johnny can't read
Johnny can't read

Well, recess is over
The recess is over!

Sitcoms, T&A, Johnny's mind is blown away
Cop shows, horror flicks, Johnny's brain is full of bricks
Rock show, video, boob tube, Rubik's cube
Game fools, Sunday school, ten frames, gobble games
Wocka, wocka, wocka

There's a new kid in town...

Þetta var kærkomið lag þó það sé ekki endilega efst á vinsældarlistanum.

Þetta var orðið hálfgerður Groundhog Day að líta hér við í sumar og upplifa það sama á hverjum degi; svart kaffi klukkan sex á morgnanna, helstu fréttamiðlarnir, Badabingið og Anna.is lesin á netinu með Lionel í eyranu.

Annars er tíðahringurinn á síðunni ansi heppilegur. Ein vika á milli laga slær flestum ef ekki öllum útvarpsmógúlum við. Boðið er upp á sálarkonfekt í rituðu formi þess á milli.

Fátt ef nokkuð sem tapast í þeirri þýðingu.
