American Pie

[...]
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Now, do you believe in rock and roll,
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news...
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

And they were singing

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die.

*American Pie* de Don McLean /1972/ (versionada recientemente por Madonna, 2001): una de las canciones con la mejor letra de toda la historia de la música.
