Have y’all ever danced so hard you limped for a week? I have. It was in 2020, Sierra and I were in Myrtle Beach, SC, and we were dancing to UPTOWN FUNK. I got funk’d up and it was worth every second. Enjoy my friends!
This is the song that gave it’s title to one of Dennis Hopper’s best films.
My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay It’s better to burn out Than to fade away My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue and into the black They give you this, but you pay for that And once you’re gone, you can never come back When you’re out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten This is the story of a Johnny Rotten It’s better to burn out than it is to rust The king is gone but he’s not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my Rock and roll can never die There’s more to the picture Than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my.
Last night, Lisa Marie and I were talking about the songs we used to sing during road trips and this was one that we kept coming back to.
I think everyone, from our mom to our two older sisters to the gas station attendants to the people just trying to get some sleep in the hotel room next door, got sick of listening to us sing, “If you want to be my lover…” Too bad! We loved this song and still do.
I’m so glad we had fun, non-angsty pop stars to look up to when we were kids. It’s such a difference from today.

De colores, de colores Se visten los campos en la primavera. De colores, de colores Son los pajaritos que vienen de afuera. De colores, de colores Es el arco iris que vemos lucir.
Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí. Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
De colores, de colores Brillantes y finos se viste la aurora. De colores, de colores Son los mil reflejos que el sol atesora. De colores, de colores Se viste el diamante que vemos lucir.
Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí. Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
Canta el gallo, canta el gallo Con el quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri. La gallina, la gallina Con el cara, cara, cara, cara, cara. Los pollitos/polluelos, los pollitos/polluelos Con el pío, pío, pío, pío, pí.
Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí. Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
Jubilosos, jubilosos Vivamos en gracia puesto que se puede. Saciaremos, saciaremos La sed ardorosa del Rey que no muere. Jubilosos, jubilosos Llevemos a Cristo un alma y mil más.
Difundiendo la luz que ilumina La gracia divina del gran ideal. Difundiendo la luz que ilumina La gracia divina del gran ideal.
De colores, de colores Sí, de blanco y negro y rojo y azul y castaño. Son colores, son colores De gente que ríe, y estrecha la mano. Son colores, son colores De gente que sabe de la libertad.
Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí. Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores me gustan a mí
