Det brukar oftast vara en gnagande känsla i hjärtat och skallen. Allt som oftast stämmer den. Men med det sagt kan det vara allt från en liten skitsak som irriterar dig för stunden till en större, som kan svida i dagar, veckor och år. Det kan vara allt från att ditt NHL-lag torskat under natten till att din flickvän sökt andra jaktmarker eller att någon släkting råkat illa ut. Eller att du glömt din jacka i skolan. Ja, ni fattar.
Häromdagen vaknade jag upp med den där känslan. Genast försökte jag identifiera den men lyckades inte riktigt. Så jag gick online och läste lite nyheter på svensk skvallerblaska, där brukar svaret oftast finnas. Och till slut fann jag källan till min oro.
Pakistanska jordskredsoffer, Bajensegrar och SD-framgångar är tragiskt i sig, men när jag såg att försångaren i LFO dött efter en tids kamp mot leukemi blev jag allt lite nedstämd. 35 år ung också. Världen är orättvis ibland och allt det där. Faktiskt.
"Vem eller vad fan är LFO?" undrar ni säkert. Jo, det ska jag säga er. LFO är bandet som gjorde en av de helt stora sommarplågorna 1999 och senare försvann som en fis i vinden. Som en klassisk sommarplågamakare bör och brukar göra.
Med all respekt, så här i efterhand kan man undra vad alla vi tyckare egentligen sysslade med. Summer Girls var en enda lång reklam för New Kids on The Block och Abercrombie Fitch eller vad det heter, men man sveptes ändå med. Jag var 15 år gammal och visste i märgen att det var osande dynga, men gick ändå runt och nynnade den stup i kvarten. Ni vet, låtar som man hatar att man älskar. Låtar som man faller för även om man vet att det är fel, men man var ung, hormonstinn och ständigt kär, och det Beverly Hills 90210-somriga lade en dimridå över förnuftigt tänkande.
Måste för övrigt tillägga att låttexten är briljant. Ni hittar den under klippet.
Nu blir det seminarieplugg med Jakob och en påse ekologiska äpplen. Och kanske, kanske, ett glas rött.
Men ingen kinesmat. Kinesmat gör mig sjuk.
"Summer Girls"
Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer
Do you remember, Do you remember?
...when we met..That summer??
[Chorus:]
New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer
[Verse 1:]
Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
Met you one summer and it all began
You're the best girl that I ever did see,
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Something in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
Left one day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home,
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
[Chorus:]
New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer
[Verse 2:]
Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
Always been hip to the B-boY Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile,
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rock n roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
In the summertime girls got it going on,
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like,
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
[Verse 3]
Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpet
Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up but whats the use
I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
Came in the door I said it before,I think I'm over you
but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so,
Summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so,
Summertime girls got it going on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer
Do you remember, Do you remember?
...when we met..That summer??
