Tenho certeza que você nunca imaginou um rap sobre Jane Austen! Nem eu... Mas a questão é que o grupo de comédia Pretty Darn Funny imaginou e fez! Além de falar da escritora britânica, a canção também fala sobre as séries North and South e Downton Abbey (duas das minhas preferidas *-*) com muito humor em um vídeo cheio de danças esquisitas e gestos de mano. Veja alguns versos traduzidos e o clipe:
"Rolando na pista em minha carruagem, bebericando suco de groselha"
"É engraçado... Se vivessemos na época dos nossos programas favoritos, provavelmente morreríamos de tuberculose"
"Uma vez recusei um encontro e fiquei acordada até o amanhecer para assistir a maratona North and South"
Destaque para a estrofe do único homem participante:
"Darcy, Crawley, Willoughby - estes tolos não tem nada, veja. Eu tenho habilidades que fazem com que as senhoras desmaiem na minha frente. Eu tenho Razão e Sensibilidade. E Northhanger Abbey? Eu tenho toda a coleção em DVD!"
Letra:
GRACIE
I'm Miss Gracie, honey,
and I always bring the funny.
I'm so into Jane Austin,
my kids call me "Mummy".
I'll watch BBC
till my hubby gets crabby.
I really know what's up
in Downton Abbey.
MADISON
I've got flowy lush hair
all over the place,
and these hips were made
for an empire waist.
I look good in velvet, satin, and lace,
disgrace the Brontes...
you'd better watch yo face.
RYANNE
Hey you, yeah you,
Matthew Crawley,
you blue-eyed blondie,
Manchester hottie,
you're the new-age,
fair-haired Mister Darcy.
If I were your fair cousin Mary,
I'd be like, "solicitor, I'd like a kissitor,
I'll be your lifetime visitor, prisoner of love.
I'll give all my suitors a shove, if you give me a buzz, cuz.
Just don't play hard to get, cuz."
MADISON
Rollin' down the lane,
in my carriage, sippin'
on currant juice.
Laid back,
with my mind on my suitors
and my suitors on my mind.

Hey, ho,
It's pretty darn funny yo,

JENNIFER
Once I turned down a date
and stayed up till dawn
to watch the North and South marathon.
My friends say I'm crazy,
but, for what it's worth,
I'll just never love a man
as much as Collin Firth.
GRACIE
My dowry brings
all the boys to the yard,
and they like, start quoting the Bard,
they try to woo me
but, I have to charge...
In pounds, probably
REFRÃO
Hey, ho,
it's pretty darn funny, yo,

who have so much gumption,
most likely would have died of consumption.
Hey, ho,

NORA
I just read the proper romance, Edenbrooke,
nows I gotsa practice my smoldering looks.
My friend loves Phillip but,

like Horatio Hornblower.
I doth love the menfolk who talk like Keats,
Yo Gordy, esquire, throw me some beats.
GORDY
Darcy, Crawley, Willoughby--
those fools ain't got nothing, see.
I've got the skills that makes the ladies faint in front of me,

And what about Northhanger Abbey?
I got the whole collection on DVD!

I'd push my broom back and forth,

if I could clean that cutie Mr. Bingley's room, well, of course.

Hey, ho,

that our favorite shows is,
we'd probably have died from tuberculosis.
Hey, ho,

that we'd have taken our chances
with dysentery
if it meant we could be
properly married.
