Neil Sedaka - Dinosaur Pet
Quizá a los lectores más jóvenes de Koprolitos el nombre de Neil Sedaka no les resulte familiar, pero este cantante y compositor nacido el 13 de Marzo de 1939 en Brooklyn (Nueva York, Estados Unidos), ha vendido millones de discos y ha escrito más de 500 canciones a lo largo de sus más de 50 años de carrera. Su etapa más célebre tuvo lugar en la década de los 60, con éxitos como "Oh, Carol!" (dedicada a su novia de entonces, la también cantante Carole King, y popularizada en castellano por El Dúo Dinámico), "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" (versionada en multitud de ocasiones y en numerosos idiomas) o "Calendar Girl" (en la que Sedaka repasa los meses del año explicando qué eventos le ayudan a celebrar el amor que siente por su chica) entre otros. Es precisamente esta última canción la que inspiró a Neil Sedaka para realizar "Dinosaur Pet".
Editado en 2012, el audio-libro infantil "Dinosaur Pet" está ilustrado por Tim Bowers y viene acompañado por un CD que incluye la canción del mismo título, con letra de Marc Sedaka (hijo de Neil) y la música de "Calendar Girl". Ahí dejo un video con la canción, que viene con la introducción de una señora que explica como le mola aprender los meses con la canción de Sedaka:
La letra de la canción es la siguiente:
I love, I love, I love my dinosaur pet
Yeah, sweet dinosaur pet
I love, I love, I love my dinosaur pet
Each and every day of the year
January, he's breaking out of his shell
February, he's body's starting to swell
March, at least eight times a day he's got to be fed
April, when he sleeps with me he crushes the bed
Yeah, yeah, how big can he get
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Every day, every day, every day, every day of the year
Every day of the year
May, maybe if the roof was twice as tall
June, he wouldn't bump it when he's roaming the hall
July, like the fireworks he touches the sky
August, the cost of groceries is bleeding us dry
Yeah, yeah, how big can he get
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Every day, every day, every day, every day of the year
Every day of the year
Yeah, yeah, how big can he get
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Every day, every day, every day, every day of the year
Every day of the year
September, just the tail alone is thirty feet long
October, when we trick or treat he goes as King Kong
November, fifty turkeys weren't nearly enough
December, come the new year days are gonna get rough
Yeah, yeah, how big can he get
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Every day, every day, every day, every day of the year
Every day of the year
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Yeah, sweet dinosaur pet
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Yeah, sweet dinosaur pet
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Yeah, sweet dinosaur pet
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Yeah, sweet dinosaur pet
I love, I love, I love my dinosaur pet
Each and every day of the year
January, he's breaking out of his shell
February, he's body's starting to swell
March, at least eight times a day he's got to be fed
April, when he sleeps with me he crushes the bed
Yeah, yeah, how big can he get
I love, I love, I love my little dinosaur pet
Every day, every day, every day, every day of the year
Every day of the year
May, maybe if the roof was twice as tall
