Anamaría Merino (born 1977), commonly known by her stage name Ana Tijoux or Anita Tijoux, is a French-Chilean musician. She became famous in Latin America as the female MC of hip-hop group Makiza during the late 1990s. In 2006, she crossed over to the mainstream of Latin pop after her collaboration with Mexican songstress Julieta Venegas in the radio hit "Eres para mí". Tijoux has often been praised for "exploring sensitive matters devoid of violence." She is currently promoting her second solo album, 1977.
Tijoux is the daughter of Chilean parents living in political exile in France during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship of Chile.
After the return to democracy in Chile, Tijoux flew back to her father's land. Being a teenager, she found home in the emerging hip-hop scene of Santiago and she started rhyming first in French, then in Spanish. For a while, she formed part of a group that included Zaturno, later of Tiro de Gracia. In 1997, she joined Seo2, Cenzi, and DJ Squat to form Makiza.
Makiza released their first cassette in 1998, Vida Salvaje. It was an independent production but gained huge acceptance in the local scene.
John William "Johnny" Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005) was an American television host and comedian, known for thirty years as host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962–1992). Carson received six Emmy Awards, the Governor Award, and a 1985 Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1987. Johnny Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1993.
Although his show was already successful by the end of the 1960s, during the 1970s Carson became an American icon and remained so until his retirement in 1992. He adopted a casual, conversational approach with extensive interaction with guests, an approach pioneered by Arthur Godfrey and previous Tonight Show hosts Steve Allen and Jack Paar. Late night hosts David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Fallon have all cited Carson's influence on their late-night talk shows, which resemble his in format and tone.
Carson was born in Corning, Iowa, in the year 1925, to Homer Lloyd "Kit" Carson, a power company manager, and Ruth Hook Carson, who was of Irish descent. He grew up in the nearby towns of Avoca, Clarinda, and Red Oak in southwest Iowa before moving to Norfolk, Nebraska, at the age of eight. At the age of twelve, Carson found a book on magic at a friend's house and immediately purchased a mail-order magician's kit. He debuted as "The Great Carsoni" at fourteen and was paid $3; many other performances at local picnics and country fairs followed.
Buddy Hackett (born Leonard Hacker, August 31, 1924 – June 30, 2003) was an American comedian and actor.
Hackett was born in Brooklyn, New York, New York, the son of a Jewish upholsterer. He grew up on 54th and 14th Ave in Borough Park, Brooklyn, across from Public School 103 (now a yeshiva). Living next door was a yet-to-be-famous aspiring baseball player named Sandy Koufax. He graduated from New Utrecht High School in 1942. While still a student, he began performing in nightclubs in the Catskills Borscht Belt resorts. He appeared first at the Golden Hotel in Hurleyville, New York, and he claimed he did not get one single laugh.
Hackett enlisted in the United States Army during World War II and served in an anti-aircraft battery.
Hackett's first job after the war was at the Pink Elephant, a Brooklyn club. It was here that he changed his name from Leonard Hacker to Buddy Hackett. He made appearances in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and continued to perform in the Catskills. He acted on Broadway, in Lunatics and Lovers, where Max Liebman saw him and put him in two television specials.
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was the most important popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for over two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number one hit. He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
"Einen schönen Donnerstags
Es hat gerad getaut,
Da wurde Peter Lorenz in Zehlendorf geklaut,
Er kam gleich in die Kiste
Und allmählich wurd ihm klar,
Daß er nun ein Gefangener des 2. Juni war..."
1977 - Schalalalalala-Tida
"Da sitzt er nun im Keller mit'm Schildchen auf der Brust -
Die Bewegung 2. Juni sendet einen schönen Gruß,
12 Gefangene und'n Jumbo,
'nen Platten mit an Bord -
Für jeden 20000 sonst bleibt der Lorenz fort..."
(Strummer/Jones)

Mes névroses dorment dehors
J'ai promis d'éviter de chialer sur mon sort
Et d'esquiver les mots, la tête encore dans l'eau
Si frileux des fois je suis, le peu que j'éprouve me suffit
A faire le pas vers le je et moi
Ce qui ce joue de ça !
Et si je suis né gémeau je freine le versant schizo
Innocent mieux que personne
C'est le mal qu'il me donne
Il dort en moi, scindé entre le jeu et l'émoi
Une porte en moi, mon équilibre mental en est l'enjeu
C'est souvent qu'il s'étale un peu
Ou bien me couvre de bleus
Mais tu sais l'intérieur effraie
Pour ne pas en faire les frais je me tais
Je lui parle tant à mon double injall enfant
J'ai fait le pas vers le je et l'émoi
Vers celui qui l'emportera
Et si je suis né gémeau je freine le versant schizo
Innocent mieux que personne
C'est le mal qu'il me donne
Il dort en moi, scindé entre le jeu et l'émoi
Une porte en moi, mon équilibre mentale en est l'enjeu
Rock casse tout infernal colérique
Injall toujours toujours toxique
Rock refuse l'inconscient
Injall toujours toujours présent
Il dort en moi, scindé entre le jeu et l'émoi

Be there, two dollars before ten
A short piece of my life.
77 was the year where everything starts (Stop!)
I lived on the top of the street
In a building full of green. Field? Was not that
screen (Scream!)
To call my best friend, I lived on the other side,
TV off, computers on, bye bye
We found outside a club, where boys can be boys,
Like old times, no girls at all
All the time I was in school,
We change our friends, we change our clothes
We kiss the girls because we need to,
It's an ego of a normal boy
But why at that time,
It was strange not to look or act
Like a normal guy,
Songs were made to make me cry,
And we can meet The Smiths at any time of our lives,
'Cause songs will help you every time,
Just try to wake up one day, rewind,
We were only 17, and then
Did you wait for the lonely time
Just to say like a normal guy,
(HI) my bed it's empty,
You want to try?
We grow as normal nature
And we still believe that if we try
THE BAND can save your life
Can be such an easy thing,
Just think the kid you were before
Creep was like a bomb.
Share the songs with the friends,
He will know your thoughts,
He knows your songs,
He brings the light you wish,
It's the cure to yuor lonely time,
He's a Jesus in a genius way.
A lie, at that time it was just a way to put us by the same side,
We were more then 17
At that time a lie means a sacrifice,
Everybody knows why,
But we were only
Again out of time,
I know why we will say good bye,
Everybody knows why
And we were almost 21, and then,
Still you wait for a lonely time,
Just to say to a normal guy? Normal guy?
My bed is empty.
Why at that time
It was just a way to put us by the same side,
'Cause we were more then 17
And then, still you wait till the end,
To say like a normal guy. Goodbye
A lie, at that time it was just a way to put us by the same side,
'Cause we were blood of the same blood, and then,
Did you wait till the end,
To say like a normal guy
Goodbye
And why, why, why, why...
Ho! Oouuh! What?

Nuestro articulo primero es totalmente inamovible,
No queremos migajas queremos sentirnos libres.
Todo cambio tendra por resultado consecuencia,
En pie de guerra, estamos en resistencia.
Nuestras visiones no merecen objeciones,
Por lo tanto seguiremos con las mismas condiciones.
Nuestro bando apunta a todos los objetivos,
Ustedes corporativos, nosotros caja de ritmo.
Reaccionamos porque nos sentimos vivos
Ante la belleza de un ser más activo.
Nuestra tonada es agresiva y relajada
Como la melodía que en realidad nadie miraba.
Y antes de la nada en la cancha daremos todo,
Nuestra postura intransable incluso ante los lobos.
No le tememos a los toros por eso damos los votos,
Los poros, poros los codos no queremos de sus tronos.

[Invincible]
To go high you first got to dig the depths of the Earth.
We dug the roots of evilness like the hex of a curse.
Plant the seeds in the fertile soil of resistance.
If there's a fruit, eat it so we return blessed to the dirt.
Except for this work
Do know what you love
Yeah the tears, sweat and blood.
Simultaneous death and the birth.
Full cycle like a merry-go-round
All descend from wearing a crown to the burial ground
From the bottom up we're horizontal.
They top down, hit them like a million raindrops.
Hit them with a Poncho.
More than organized form the rivers ocean ponds flow
They try to sh*t on us, we turned them into composts
Tried to beef with us, they turned into pot-roast
Crisis type of opportunity timeless like life's broke
In a flash they could crash like a stock market
Hot garbage, trash (?)
En sus marcas, apuntar las ideas
Escribir de todo lo que vives, lo que veas,
Aprietar del gatillo y entonar lo que se crea,
