"SATURDAY
IN MEMPHIS" hadde allerede vært lenge på NJS-repertoaret da den ble
innspilt. En stemningsrapport fra Memphis, en by som vanskelig kan overvurderes
når rockens historie skal skrives. Biltrafikk og gatestemninger kan høres før
NJS-kompet settes inn. Eigil Berg beskriver lørdagskvelden og
Memphis-referansene før Frank Mead trår til med en røff saxofon-solo i beste
King Curtis-stil. Litt "twangy" gitar fra Bjørn Kristiansen - som
helhet en grei, liten rocker.
Saturday
In Memphis
(Eigil
Berg)
It’s
Saturday in Memphis
The
dixie-moon is shining bright
The
Mississippi river
Is
rolling in the pale moonlight
Let
me take you where the action is
I
bring the beat if you bring me your kiss
On
a Saturday in Memphis tonight
It’s
Saturday in Memphis
The
dixie-moon is shining bright
We’re
goin’ down on Beale Street
We’re
gonna rock the joint tonight
There's
a place called the Boogie Cafe
They
play the blues ‘til the break of day
On
a Saturday in Memphis tonight
I
feel like I’m walkin’
The
rock'n’roll hall of fame
Did
you ever hear ‘em talkin’
Of
any other city
With
such a reputation to claim
I
feel like I’m walkin’
The
rock'n’roll hall of fame
Did
you ever hear ‘em talkin’
About
another city
With
such a reputation to claim
It’s
Saturday in Memphis
The
dixie-moon is shining bright
And
here is to the weekend
The
beer and my woman tonight
There
ain’t no place I'd rather be
Than
by the riverbanks in ol’ Tennessee
On
a Saturday in Memphis tonight
There
ain't no place I’d rather be
Than
by the riverbanks in ol’ Tennessee
On
a Saturday in Memphis tonight
