Soms kloppen dingen ineens, komt het allemaal ineens samen. Nou, ok, dat is wat overdreven, maar toch…
Zit je rustig een glas melk te drinken en hoor je op tv een flard van… juist ja… Herman’s Hermits met het nummer ‘No Milk Today’. En natuurlijk blijft dat nummer dan weer in je hoofd hangen…
Video is niet al te beste kwaliteit, maar wat wil je: het nummer is al uit 1966!

No Milk Today
Herman’s Hermits
“No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don’t know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn’t always so
The company was gay, we’d turn night into day
But all that’s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn’t always so
The company was gay, we’d turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that’s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don’t know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn’t always so
The company was gay, we’d turn night into day
But all that’s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that’s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that’s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town”
Nu zit ik toevallig aan een ‘Tuborg’, maar inderdaad leuk om weer even te horen. Die nummers blijven leuk, hoewel het zó ‘amateuristisch’ klinkt. Maar het overtroefd de ‘gelikte’ popmuziekjes van tegenwoordig nog steeds!
