Sí, el coche sirve para desplazarte, cargar cosas, o simplemente disfrutar el hecho de conducir. Pero hay otros usos, y la música también se ha hecho eco de ellos en sus canciones. Tal es el caso de Sleeping in my car, la canción de Roxette que recordamos hoy en nuestra sección musical.

El dúo sueco, formado por Marie Fredriksson y Per Gessle, logró sus mayores éxitos a principios de los 90 y finales de los 80. Todos recordamos The look, It must have been love, Listen to your heart…. En 1994 lanzaban su quinto álbum, Crash! Boom! Bang!.

El primer single del disco era esta canción, que solamente alcanzó el puesto 50 en las listas de Estados Unidos, pero funcionó mejor en Suecia (evidentemente) o Canadá (donde alcanzó el tercer puesto). Posteriormente el grupo de punk alemán Donald Dark versionó la canción, al igual que la polaca Ewa Farna.

La letra es la siguiente:

I’ll tell you what I’ve done / I’ll tell you what I’ll do / been driving all nite just to get close to you / baby babe – I’m moving so fast / you’d better come on.

The moon is alright / the freeway’s heading south / my hard is going boom! / there’s a strange taste in my mouth / baby babe – I’m moving real fast / so try to hold on / try to hold on!

Sleeping in my car – I will undress you / sleeping in my car – I will caress you / staying in the back seat of my car making up.

So come out tonight / I’ll take you for a ride / this steamy ol’ wagon / the radio is getting wild / baby babe – we’re moving so fast / I try to hang on / try to hang on!

Sleeping in my car – I will undress you / sleeping in my car – I will caress you / staying in the back seat of my car making love, oh yea!

Sleeping in my car – I will possess you / sleeping in my car – certainly bless you / laying in the back seat of my car making up.

The night is so pretty and so young / the night is so pretty and so young / so very young…

Sleeping in my car – I will undress you / sleeping in my car – I will caress you / staying in the back seat of my car making love to you.

Sleeping in my car – I will possess you / sleeping in my car – certainly bless you / laying in the back seat of my car making up.

I will undress you / I will undress you.

The night is so pretty and so young.
