Oggi vi porto nel 1993 e per la precisione vi propongo il brano musicale “What’s Up” (registrato in realtà l’anno prima) del gruppo musicale statunitense dei 4 Non Blondes.
A dispetto del titolo, il testo del brano non contiene affatto la frase “What’s Up?“, bensì il verso “What’s Going On?” ripetuto più volte durante il ritornello. Non si utilizzò quest’ultimo come titolo onde evitare confusione con l’omonimo brano di Marvin Gaye. Tuttavia da più parti piovvero accuse di plagio per la somiglianza con il brano Don’t Worry, Be Happy di Bobby McFerrin, del quale ha quasi la stessa melodia e lo stesso giro armonico, sembrando solo leggermente rallentata.

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying in bed just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
When I’m lying in bed just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?
I said hey, what’s going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?
I said hey, what’s going on?
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
When I’m lying bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
I said hey, what’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
I said hey, what’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
I said hey, what’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
I said hey, what’s going on?
Oh, oh oh oh
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
