[Music_Orchard]

Вот ещё одна замечательная песня. Летний постапокалиптический хит образца 1969 года от фолк-рокового дуэта Дэни Загера и Ричарда Эванса. Холодная война, всамделишная горячая война, мир катится прямиком в ад.
Запоминающаяся мелодия, не слишком обременённые смыслом вирши и сплетение голосов, отсылающее нас недвусмысленно к братьям Эверли. Идеальный поп хит того жаркого лета.(с)

~Текст~

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you

In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
"Guess it's time for the judgement day"

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say "I'm pleased where man has been"
Or tear it down, and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew
Now man's reign is through

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away

И каверы на нее

И идеальная пародия на нее из "Футурамы":

~Текст~

In the year one-oh-five-one-oh-five,
If man is still alive,
If robot can survive,
They may find...
In the year twenty-five-twenty-five-twenty-five,
The backwards time machine still won't have arrived.
In all the world, there's only one technology,
A rusty sword for practicing proctology!
In a future year that ends with a twenty,
A shlubby merman's gonna try to get chummy.
He may look like a watery wimp,
When in fact he's a bloodthirsty shrimp!
In the year one million and a half,
Humankind is enslaved by giraffe.
Man must pay for all his misdeeds,
When the treetops are stripped of their leaves!
Whoa-oh!

Еще один кавер от королей готик-рока:


Кавер от Иэна Брауна, замечательного сольного *после распада Stone Roses* исполнителя, которого мы уже слышали:


Первые "новые романтики" также не поленились и засинтипопили очередной кавер:


Электронные предшественники Рамштайнов также посчитали своим долгом не забыть про хит 60-ых:


И, напоследок, легкий *по сравнению с предыдущим х)* электронный кавер, звучанием напоминающий о разбитных 90-ых:
