Whatever
Ivan the Parazol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for the last bus to leave
The birds are singing the song of the sun
You know that this night is gone.
Change your shirt from black to white
Call your friends and tell ′em you're all right
The birds are singing the song of the sun
Whatever happens in London, stays in London
Whatever happens in London, stays in London.
Wo wo I can hear them rollin'
Wo wo With a sound so sweet
Wo wo all night long wo wo
Hey you always stand on the street
Waiting for the last bus to leave
The birds are singing the song of the sun
You know that this night is gone.
Whatever happen is London, stays in London.
Whatever happens in London stays in London!
Wo wo With a sound so sweet
Wo wo I can hear them rollin'
Wo wo well we′re movin′ down wo wo
Ah come on
Wo wo Do the sound, it's so sweet
Wo wo I can hear them rollin′
Wo wo Every day and night
Wo wo
The song "Whatever" by Ivan the Parazol talks about the night life in London, where people have the freedom to act and do whatever they wish to do without being judged. The lyrics speak to someone who stands on the street, waiting for the last bus to leave, as if they are reluctant to go home because they want to continue living in the moment. The birds are singing the song of the sun, which in this song, represents the morning light that brings the end of the night. Changing the shirt from black to white symbolizes a change in attitude, moving from darkness to light.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Whatever happens in London, stays in London" twice. This phrase became popularized in Las Vegas as the slogan of the city, which is known for its freedom and wildness. The singer is encouraging the listener to let go of their worries and fears, and just have fun in the moment. The song exudes a sense of carefreeness, and its up-beat melody is infectious and makes listeners feel like dancing.

Ha bárkit érdekel, a dal open g hangolásban van, capoval a harmadik bundon, az az alapriff akkordjai pedig: X 0 0 0 0 0 (csak egyszer pengeted le), X 13 13 13 13 13 (egy oktávval magasabb), X 8 8 10 8, X 8 8 8 8 8 és X 8 10 10 9 8. Lehet, hogy nem teljesen pontos, de hallásról így jött le. 😊

Az első pár pillanatra Stones-, majd összességében és alapvetően INX-koppintás vagytok a fülemnek: mi lesztek, ha nagyok lesztek? Hamvasarcú kortársaitoknak minden poén új, ezért nekik még így is bejöttök. Kíváncsian várom, hogy a karaoké-show-t kinőve milyen lesz a saját hangotok. Mert ZENEILEG az lesz a Nagy Vízválasztó: (tehetség annyi van, hogy Dunát lehet rekeszteni velük) ha abból a zenélésből, amely csak ürügy a csajozásra, váltotok azért, mert MEG AKARTOK SZÓLALNI... Ne adjátok föl!!!
