Song or Suicide I: Dirty Diana

Haciendo honor al título de una canción de HIM, inicio esta sección sobre canciones importantes para mí, canciones que me encantan y cuyo significado y melodía son perfectas.
En este número uno comenzaré por la canción de Michael Jackson "Dirty Diana".
Esta canción fue sencillo en 1988 del álbum Bad, y es una de las canciones más populares del álbum entre los fans.
Esta composición de hard rock trata sobre una chica materialista que seduce a músicos de alto prestigio durante la noche para ganar fama.
Una anecdota sobre esta canción cuenta que "Dirty Diana"  fue programada para una actuación en vivo en 1988 en el Estadio de Wembley durante el Bad World Tour; sin embargo, Jackson consideró que la canción sería un insulto a la Princesa Diana, que estaba entre el público, por lo que la había eliminado.

Diana le preguntó si interpretaría esta canción. Al decirle Jackson que no sería interpretada, Lady Diana le comentó que la canción era en realidad su favorita. Sin embargo, la canción no pudo ser interpretada porque ya no había tiempo para hacerla encajar en el show.

Oh No . . .
Oh No . . .
Oh No . . .

You'll Never Make Me Stay
So Take Your Weight Off Of Me
I Know Your Every Move
So Won't You Just Let Me Be
I've Been Here Times Before
But I Was Too Blind To See
That You Seduce Every Man
This Time You Won't Seduce Me

She's Saying That's Ok
Hey Baby Do What You Please
I Have The Stuff That You Want
I Am The Thing That You Need
She Looked Me Deep In The Eyes
She's Touchin' Me So To Start
She Says There's No Turnin' Back
She Trapped Me In Her Heart

Dirty Diana, Nah
Dirty Diana, Nah
Dirty Diana, No
Dirty Diana
Let Me Be!

Oh No . . .
Oh No . . .
Oh No . . .

She Likes The Boys In The Band
She Knows When They Come To Town
Every Musician's Fan
After The Curtain Comes Down
She Waits At Backstage Doors
For Those Who Have Prestige
Who Promise Fortune And Fame,
A Life That's So Carefree
She's Saying That's Ok
Hey Baby Do What You Want
I'll Be Your Night Lovin' Thing
I'll Be The Freak You Can Taunt
And I Don't Care What You Say
I Want To Go Too Far
I'll Be Your Everything
If You Make Me A Star

It's Dia . . .Aa . . .Aa . . .
Come On!

She Said I Have To Go Home
'Cause I'm Real Tired You See
But I Hate Sleepin' Alone
Why Don't You Come With Me
I Said My Baby's At Home
She's Probably Worried Tonight
I Didn't Call On The Phone
To Say That I'm Alright

Diana Walked Up To Me,
She Said I'm All Yours Tonight
At That I Ran To The Phone
Sayin' Baby I'm Alright
I Said But Unlock The Door,
Because I Forgot The Key,
She Said He's Not Coming Back
Because He's Sleeping With Me

Y bueno, el videoclip no hace falta comentarlo, es puro Jackson 100%. O sea que, ESPECTACULAR!
Esta canción me encanta porque combina como ninguna un toque melancólico con  el más puro estilo hard rock con los potentes solos de guitarra de  Steve Steven. Además la voz desgarradora de Michael termina de convertir la pieza en algo único.
