Don Henley - Dirty Laundry

1982년 앨범 I Can't Stand Still에 수록 된 곡,  그룹 Eagles의 드러머였던 Don Henly는 이 앨범에서 'Dirty laundry'로 83년에 Top10에 드는 히트를 기록했습니다. 멜로디와 리듬, 가사가 모두 특이하면서 재미있는 노래입니다.  싱글 커팅되어 나온 'Johnny can't read'도 역시 Top40에 들지는 못했지만, 그동안 Eagles에서 보여준 모습과는 상당히 다른 경쾌하면서 신나는 댄스에 가까운 곡니다.  


Dirty Laundry / Don Henley


I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde
comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough love
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do "The Innuendo"
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry!
