[escepticos] curiosidad musical: El gazapo de Midnight oil y L. Ron Hubbard

["Jorge Frias" <jorgejfrias@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hola a tod@s:

Algunos conoceréis el grupo australiano Midnight Oil. Son de mis
favoritos desde hace mucho tiempo, y olisqueando por Internet veo una
base de datos muy completa de la banda, con algunos datos curiosos. En
una canción, "US FORCES" hacen mención a L. Ron Hubbard, pero por un
gazapo en la edición australiana (la española, como era costumbre, ni
siquiera traía las letras) se cambió totalmente el significado de una
frase, como explica en dicha página:

>>The USA lyrics list a line "L. Ron Hubbard CAN'T save your life".
The AUS lyrics list the same line as "L. Ron Hubbard CAN save your
life." Rob Hirst has confirmed that it should be the former (CAN'T).

Ignoro si tuvo alguna repercusión dicho error. La letra completa de la canción:

US forces give the nod
It's a setback for your country
Bombs and trenches all in rows
Bombs and threats still ask for more

Divided world the CIA
Who controls the issue
You leave us with no time to talk
You can write your own assessment

Sing me songs of no denying
Seems to me too many trying
Waiting for the next big thing

Will you know it when you see it
High risk children dogs of war
Now market movements call the shots
Business deals in parking lots
Waiting for the meat of tomorrow

Everyone is too stoned to start emission
People too scared to go to prison
We're unable to make decisions
Political party line don't cross that floor
L. Ron Hubbard can't save your life
Superboy takes a plutonium wife
In the shadows of Ban the Bomb we live

Sing me songs of no denying
Seems to me too many trying
Waiting for the next big thing
