Εκμεταλλευόμαστε την ευκαιρία των γενεθλίων του Pablo Picasso [25/10/1881] για να ακούσουμε το κλασικό τραγούδι του Jonathan Richman. Ηχογραφημένο το 1972 σε παραγωγή John Cale θα κυκλοφορούσε με το πρώτο άλμπουμ των Modern Lovers τέσσερα χρόνια αργότερα.
Επακολουθεί μια από τις ουκ ολίγες διασκευές που του έχουν γίνει, εκείνη του David Bowie, στο άλμπουμ Reality – 2003.

We take the opportunity of Pablo Picasso‘s b-day [25/10/1881] to hear the classic Jonathan Richman’s song.

Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist to stare
And so Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Well, the girls would turn the color of an avocado
When he would drive down their street
In his El Dorado
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist to stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not like you
Alright
Well he was only five foot three
But girls could not resist to stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York
Ah, well
Show me not, smock me not, obnoxious me not, bell bottom, bummer or asshole
Remember the story of Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist to stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
All right, this is it
Well
Some people try to pick up girls
And get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist to stare
And so Pablo Picasso was never called
