Lorde, Royals: anche le mucche la amano (video)

Royals ha conquistato tutti. Il brano di Lorde non solo ha avuto il merito di far nascere ufficialmente una nuova stella nel panorama musicale, conquistando tutte le classifiche di vendita internazionali, ma ha superato anche ogni confine. Anche gli animali la amano. O almeno le mucche, come dimostra questo video divertente che potete vedere in apertura postd.

Lui è “Farmer Derek Klingenberg”, una stella di YoUTube, con oltre 40.000 iscritti al suo canale ufficiale. E in un recente video, caricato il 3 agosto 2014, eccolo alle prese con la prova delle prove: richiamare le mucche suonando proprio questa canzone. Inizialmente non accade nulla, poi ecco spuntare qualche sagoma all’orizzonte. E in pochi minuti, Derek si trova davanti ad un pubblico coinvolto che lo fissa a pochi metri di distanza (mentre le solite ritardatarie corrono dal fondo della collina).

Tutti pazzi per Royals. Mucche comprese.

I’ve never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I’m not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song’s like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin’ in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room,
We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody’s like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don’t care, we aren’t caught up in your love affair.

And we’ll never be royals (royals).
It don’t run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain’t for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

[Verse 2]
My friends and I—we’ve cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we’re fine with this,
We didn’t come from money.

But every song’s like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin’ in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room,
We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody’s like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don’t care, we aren’t caught up in your love affair

And we’ll never be royals (royals).
It don’t run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain’t for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh
We’re bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I’m in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren’t caught up in your love affair.

And we’ll never be royals (royals).
It don’t run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain’t for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
