Never Tear Us Apart del 2

Ett inlägg vari bloggen följer upp ett av de mer fasansfulla inläggen som producerats i blogghelvetets historia.

Jag ber om ursäkt, det verkar som om jag slarvat. Dieter Bohlen har ju faktiskt inte bara släppt låtar med Modern Talking utan även som Blue System. Detta kräver en uppföljande bloggpost om hur hans låttexter tenderar att upprepa sig.

Så. Samma frågeställning, nästan: I hur många Blue System-låtar har låtskrivaren/textförfattaren Dieter Bohlen rimmat "heart" med "apart"?

Med hjälp av Allthelyrics.com har jag kommit fram till följande:

Lisa said... (årtal okänt) 

Tears in my eyes - pain in my heart 

Baby, don't break apart

Thank God it's friday night (1996)

But in this dream - you fool my heart

We're skin to skin - you broke apart

It's for you (1996)

Baby tell it from your heart

Baby should I be the one 

Oh tearing you apart

It's Ecstasy (1995)

Oh Lord, can you hear my heart?

I'm the king of wishful motions

Oh Lord, I'm poisoned all apart

And I'm living in devotion

21st century (1994)

There's a broken heart and it tears apart 

Leave me in the rain

When you are lonely (1994)

Keep a light in your window

Keep a light in your heart

A summer breeze is blowing softly

Oh you tear apart

That's love (1994)*

Friends - stay together baby never break apart

Don't - play fire

Don't - stop desire

Don't - you want my heart?

Dirty Money (1993)

There's one name, but there's no heart

Oh, you want to tear apart

Don't you want my foolish heart (1993)

Don't you want my foolish heart

Don't you wanna tear apart

You are lyin' (1993)

Baby, when I'm tearing apart

You're lying - baby why are you breaking my heart

You're crying - baby when I'm tearing apart

Is it love? (1991)

You must be cheating if you play with my heart

that you break apart

Mrs. Jones (1991)

Sometime when we touch, I heal your heart 

I'm waiting for you - will you break apart?

Praying to the aliens (1991)

Always break my heart

In the streets of nowhere - I'm fighting for her

Oh no, don't break apart

The Wind Cries (Who killed Norma Jean?) (1991)

Hey little girl - do you have a broken heart?

Hey little girl - sacrifice apart

When Sarah smiles (1990)

When Sarah smiles, her eyes shining blue

I know she's smiling straight from her heart

When Sarah smiles, it means heaven too

I know her heart is breaking apart

When Sarah smiles

Little Jeannie (1988)

I can feel your heart - can you feel it 

Never tear apart - Little Jeannie

Silent water (1988)

Baby, you cross my heart 

And a heart of a clown - oh, just break apart

Too young (1988)

Queen of broken hearts

Oh, you win and lose

Now, take it apart

Jag har alltså hittat 19 låtar där Dieter Bohlen, under namnet Blue System, rimmar "heart" med "apart". Nu låter det kanske som enormt mycket, men betänk att Blue System släppte 13 album (!!!) mellan 1987 och 1997. Snittet blir alltså drygt en låt per album, vilket bara är hälften av heart/apart-frekvensen på Modern Talkings album (25 låtar fördelade på 12 album).

Slutsats: Ja, det vete fan.



* That's love har klara vibbar av Pet Shop Boys jättehit Go West. Lyssna själva!

Never Tear Us Apart

Ett inlägg vari vår hjälte på grund av interna påtryckningar nödgas dissekera andra hjältars värv, för att sedan presentera sina fynd för en förväntansfull kulturelit.

Ibland får man sina infall. Som på bussen hem idag. En frågeställning som min hjärna plötsligt kastade ur sig. En frågeställning som krävde ett svar.

Oh, the horror.

Frågeställning: I hur många Modern Talking-låtar har låtskrivaren/textförfattaren Dieter Bohlen rimmat "heart" med "apart"?

You're holding me till the night is gone

Svar: I 25 olika låtar. Fördelat på de 12 album bandet släppte blir det alltså drygt två per platta. Inte dåligt!

Är Dieter Bohlen en extremt lat textförfattare, eller är han ett geni med ett genialiskt koncept? Då Modern Talking - med Bohlen som låtskrivare, dvs den som drar hem de stora pengarna - har sålt 120 miljoner album och singlar så lutar jag åt det senare.

PS.

Bonus!

Frågeställning: I hur många Modern Talking-låtar har Dieter Bohlen rimmat "fire" med "desire"?

"Everybody Needs Somebody" (2003)

"Superstar" (2003)

"When The Sky Rained Fire" (2002)

"If I..." (2002)

"Witchqueen Of Eldorado" (2001)

"America" (2001)

"All I Have" (1999)

"Space Mix" (1999)

"Jet Airliner" (1998/1986)

"You're My Heart, You're My Soul" (1998/1985)

"Blinded By Your Love" (1986)

"Arabian Gold" (1986)

Tolv låtar alltså. Det var något mindre än jag trodde, faktiskt. Bara en per album i snitt!
