Eat it!

Si, ya se que dije que sería los lunes cuando pusiera estos videos, pero en algún lugar del mundo debe ser aun Lunes...¿no? ah este... bueno, pues no pude ayer, ¿y que?

Esta canción fue lanzada en 1984 y fue el primer gran exito de “Weird” Al Yankovic, alcanzando el #1 de popularidad en Australia y el #12 en Estados Unidos. De hecho, fue su mayor éxito comercial hasta octubre de 2006 que “White & Nerdy” alcanzó la 9na. posición de Bilboard (ver TLOC 001). “Eat it” le mereció a Yankovic el Grammy en 1984 en la categoría ‘Best Comedy Recording’.

Como pueden ver, es parodia de la canción “Beat It” de Michael Jackson, de quien obtuvo el permiso explicito para grabarla. Además, el video también es un ‘remake’ del de “Beat It” pero con elementos cómicos. La última toma, sin embargo, hace alusión al famoso video “Thriller”.

Lyrics

How come you're always such a fussy young man?
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it

Don't wanna argue, I don't wanna debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it, don't you tell me your full

Just eat it, eat it , eat it , eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are a cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it

I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat itt
