ATTENTION: Just ONE WEEK for the LINKS!

Apesar da música disponibilizada neste blog ter boa qualidade (a grande maioria foi ripada a 320 kbps), não poderá nunca ser comparada ao verdadeiro som do CD ou do vinil, pois trata-se do formato mp3 que, como se sabe, é um formato comprimido, de qualidade inferior ao wav. Aconselha-se portanto todos os amantes de música a adquirirem os discos desejados nos formatos comercialmente disponíveis.

Os links têm uma duração limitada a uma semana, finda a qual serão apagados. Haverá sempre a possibilidade de qualquer link antigo ser obtido posteriormente mas apenas se for requisitado por email. Obrigado!

Despite of the good quality of the music shared in this blog (most ripped at 320 kbps), it can’t be compared to the true sound of the CD or vinyl, because the mp3 format is, as you know, a compressed format, which quality is inferior to the wav format. Therefore, I advise all music lovers to purchase the wanted records in the available commercial formats.

The links will last just one week; after that period they will be deleted. It'll always be the possibility for you to get any old link but only if you request it by email. Thanks!

«It’s called “Some Girls” because

we can't remember their fuckin’ names!»

(Keith Richards)

Some girls give me money

Some girls buy me clothes

Some girls give me jewelry

That I never thought I'd own

Some girls give me diamonds

Some girls heart attacks

Some girls I give all my bread to

I don't ever want it back

Some girls give me jewelry

Others buy me clothes

Some girls give me children

I never asked them for

So give me all your money

Give me all your gold

I'll buy you a house back in zuma beach

And give you half of what I own

Some girls take my money

Some girls take my clothes

Some girls get the shirt off my back

And leave me with a lethal dose

French girls they want cartier

Italian girls want cars

American girls want everything in the world

You can possibly imagine

English girls they're so prissy

I can't stand them on the telephone

Sometimes I take the receiver off the hook

I don't want them to ever call at all

White girls they're pretty funny

Sometimes they drive me mad

Black girls just wanna get fucked all night

I just don't have that much jam

Chinese girls are so gentle

They're really such a tease

You never know quite what they're cookin'

Inside those silky sleeves

Give me all you money

Give me all your gold

I'll buy you a house back in zuma beach

And give you half of what I own

Some girls they're so pure

Some girls so corrupt

Some girls give me children

I only made love to her once

Give me half your money

Give me half your car

Give me half of everything

I'll make you world's biggest star

So gimme all your money

Give me all your gold

Let's go back to zuma beach

I'll give you half of everything I own

«American black rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson described the title song of “Some Girls” as “vulgar and obscene”. It was also “an insult to coloured people”. Mr Jackson said he would be meeting singer Mick Jagger and representatives of Atlantic Records about his complaint. “We do not want to act like censors” he said, “but we feel that Mick Jagger has a social responsibility” (Daily Express, 22 September, 1978).

Atentando na letra de “Some Girls” facilmente se conclui ser a mesma apenas um conjunto de ditos espirituosos a respeito das mulheres. Mas na época foi o bastante para surgirem logo acusações de sexismo o que, diga-se de passagem, apenas contribuiram para o êxito comercia
