Les meilleures chansons de tous les temps

Le magazine Rolling Stone a publié son classement des meilleures chanson de tous temps en 2004, tout comme le classement des meilleurs guitaristes. Je précise tout de suite que vous ne trouverez pas de Tokio Hotel, Justin Bieber ou Lady GaGa dans ce classement de la meilleur chanson, donc pas de déçus !

9 – Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yeah

I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

8 – Beatles – Hey Jude

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don’t be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude,
refrain,
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don’t let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You’re waiting for someone to perform with.
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey Jude, you’ll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you’ll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na, na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude…

7 – Chuck Berry – Johnny B. Goode

Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens…
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode…
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play a guitar like ringin’ a bell.

(Chorus)
Go! Go!
Go! Johnny, Go!
Go! Go!
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
Old engineers would see him sittin’ in the shade,
Strummin’ with the rhythm that the drivers made.
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
« Oh my, but that little country boy could play »

(Chorus)
Go! Go!
Go! Johnny, Go!
Go! Go!
Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him « Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band. »
Many people comin’ from miles around
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name’ll be in lights sayin’
« Johnny B. Goode tonight. »

(Chorus)
Go! Go!
Go! Johnny, Go!
Go! Go!
Johnny B. Goode

6 – The Beach Boys – Good vibrations

Ah! I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair

Ah! I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s givin’ me the excitations
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
(Ooo, bop-bop, good vibrations)
She’s givin’ me the excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(Good, good, good, good vibrations)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
(Ooo, bop-bop, good vibrations)
She’s givin’ me the excitation
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(Good, good, good, good vibrations)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
(Ooo, bop-bop, good vibrations)
She’s givin’ me the excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)

Close my eyes; she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile I know she must be kind
When — I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

REFRAIN

I don’t know where, but she sends me there
(Oh, my my love sensation)
(Oh, my my heart elation)

Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her x3

Ohh!

(Good, good, good, good vibrations)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
(Ooo, bop-bop, good vibrations)
She’s givin’ me the excitation
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(Good, good, good, good vibrations)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
(Ooo, bop-bop, good vibrations)

Na na-na na-na na-na-na x4

5 – Aretha Franklin – Respect

Les paroles de Respect

What you want, baby, I got.
What you need, you know I got it.
All I askin’ is for a little respect
when you come home, baby.
When you come home,
respect.

I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you gone,
I ain’t gonna do you wrong ’cause I don’t wanna.
All I askin’ is for a little respect
when you come home, baby.
When you come home,
respect.

I’m out to give you all my money
but all I’m askin in return, honey,
is to give me my proper respect
when you get home, yeah baby,
when you get home.

Ooh, your kisses sweeter than honey
but guess what, so here’s my money.
All I want you to do for me is give me some here
when you get home, yeah baby,
when you get home.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T,

R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
Hey Boy, T-C-B.

A little respect …

4 – Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On

Les paroles de What’s Going On

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today – Ya

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what’s going on
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Ah, what’s going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Tell me what’s going on
I’ll tell you what’s going on – Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

3 – John Lennon – Imagine

Les paroles de Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

2 – The Rolling Stones – Satisfaction

Paroles Satisfaction :

I can’t get no satisfaction, I can’t get no satisfaction,
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
When I’m drivin’ in my car, and that man comes on the radio ;
And he’s tellin’ me more and more about some useless information,
Supposed to fire my imagination.
I can’t get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That’s what I say.

I can’t get no satisfaction, I can’t get no satisfaction,
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try. I can’t get no,
I can’t get no,
When I’m watchin’ my T. V., and that man comes on to tell me ;
How white my shirts can be,
Well, he can’t be a man,
‘Cause he doesn’t smoke the same cigarettes as me,
I can’t get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That’s what I say.

I can’t get no satisfaction, I can’t get no (girl with action,)
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
When I’m ridin’ ’round the world, and I’m doin’ this and I’m signin’ that ;
And I’m tryin’ to make some girl. Who tells me, baby,
Better come back later next week, ’cause you see I’m on a losing streak,
I can’t get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That’s what I say. I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
I can’t get no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction.

1 – Bob Dylan – Like A Rolling Stone

Les paroles de Like A Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you?
Peopled call, say, Beware doll, youre bound to fall
You thought they were all kiddin you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin out
Now you dont talk so loud
Now you dont seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Youve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out youre gonna have to get used to it
You said youd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
Hes not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it aint no good
You shouldnt let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Aint it hard when you discover that
He really wasnt where its at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Theyre drinkin, thinkin that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But youd better lift your diamond ring, youd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you cant refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Youre invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
