Tragedy - 'I'm So Excited' (Pointer Sisters cover)

Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night
I want to love you
Feel you
And wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you
Please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow
I'll let it go

I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
And I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I want you
I want you

We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long, long time
We'll have a good time baby don't you worry
And if we're still playin' around
Boy that's just fine

Let's get excited
We just can't hide it
No, no, no
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
I know
I know
I know
I know
I want you
I want you

I want to love you
Feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you
Please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow
I'll let it go

I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
And I know
I know
I know
I know
I know
I want you
I want you

I'm so excited
Look what you do to me
I just can't hide it
You got me burning up
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited
I know I want you
I'm so excited
Look what you do to me
You got me burning up
I think I like it...

«Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees & Beyond!» Ένα τραγούδι των Bee Gees, το "Tragedy", από τον δίσκο "Spirits Having Flown" που κυκλοφόρησε το 1979 "βάφτισε" το συγκρότημα Tragedy, το οποίο μας έρχεται από την Νέα Υόρκη και αρέσκεται σε metal διασκευές disco (και όχι μόνο) τραγουδιών.

«You may openly love / hate disco or metal. You may secretly love / hate disco or metal. But, you will definitely love Tragedy and their bombastic mix of music, glitter and magic» μας λένε σχετικά. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό ετοιμάζονται να κυκλοφορήσουν την προσεχή άνοιξη (3 Μαρτίου 2023) το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα υπό τον τίτλο "I Am Woman"!

Δελτίο τύπου: «The BBC. MTV. The Village Voice. The Boston Globe. The Washington Post... Tragedy - one of New York City’s most famous tribute bands and inventors of “disco metal” - had a glitter-encrusted grip on the entertainment world when they emerged into the scene in the early 2010’s.

Now, following up on their 2015 breakout viral music video for their cover of Grease’s “You’re The One That I Want” and 2017’s second viral hit, a cover of “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, Tragedy are back with a brand new twist on 2023’s I Am Woman.

Flipping the script on sleaze rock tropes, with I Am Woman, Tragedy take their place as allies paying tribute to the most powerful force in their lives - celebrating womanhood in all forms on 14 newly-recorded, reinvented anthems of palpable power and fearless fun!

Having introduced their raucous trademark stage show to audiences in the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and beyond, and releasing several albums of metalized disco, soft-rock and pop covers before even tasting their first viral hit, Tragedy proved early on that they were never just your everyday satirical cover band.

These six warriors of wacky fully embody the soul of the original and reimagine it from the top down, infusing the tracks with an undeniably infectious energy that can be felt both on stage or on wax.

And while their vibrant 80s hair metal image would imply that an evening of jokes and debauchery is afoot, while plenty of misbehavior is to be seen on the surface, one only need witness Tragedy a single time to understand that the band’s true overarching message is one of carefree joy, humanity, acceptance and the simple pursuit of a damn good time.

Propelled by this spirit of liberty and showcasing the raw performance talent of each band member, on I Am Woman, Tragedy turn the energy up to 11 with recharged dancehall favorites like “Le Freak”, “Respect” (feat. Marcy Harriell) and “I’m So Excited”, and double down on the drama with heavy, recomposed covers of belt-worthy classics “Memory” (feat. Mrs. Smith), “Goldfinger” and “Roar”.

Tracks like “I Will Survive” evoke the spirit of Queen with choral harmonies and blazing solos, while unabashed anthems like “She Bop” and “Venus” fully convince with authentic 80s hair metal flavor. Power metal reigns on the band’s opus-like version of “Flashdance... What a Feeling” and the theatrical Maiden-meets-Meatloaf-esque “Lay All Your Love On Me”.

I Am Woman is bolstered by a retro production aura that allows the intricacy of each rearrangement decision to shine, as blistering guitar work, classic drumlines and dynamic vocal performances cascade throughout each track.

With I Am Woman, Tragedy truly embody the spirit of metal classics while providing a fresh take on some of the world’s most timeless classics of empowerment, independence and self-love - important messages that resonate now more than ever!»

Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το μουσικό βίντεο με την διασκευή στο τραγούδι των Pointer Sisters, "I'm So Excited". Πρόκειται για μία από τις μεγαλύτερες επιτυχίες (αν όχι την μεγαλύτερη) του Αμερικάνικου γυναικείου συγκροτήματος, στην σύνθεση της οποίας συνέβαλε και ο Trevor Lawrence. το μουσικό κομμάτι "I'm So Excited" κυκλοφόρησε το 1982 αυτόνομα ως single αλλά και ως μέρος του δίσκου "So Excited!" (το εναρκτήριο τραγούδι)...

Bio: «Tragedy takes disco, soft-rock and pop classics, and completely reimagines them as glorious, red-hot heavy metal. They’re sure to get your head bangin’, your booty shakin’ - and put a smile on your face and your fist in the air.

Tragedy’s concept, while subversive and humorous, goes beyond what many have done in satirical music - they celebrate the soul of the original song, even while turning the soundscape on its head. The amps are cranked to eleven, but the emotion is not lost.

You discover new meaning in songs that have been a part of your life for as long as you can remember. You laugh and cry. Dance and mosh. And feel newly connected to the disco-metal that was inside you all along. Tragedy does not lazily rely on the concept or “the joke”.

The band plunges deep – blazing musicianship, tantalizing riffs and stunning vocals. All except for Lance the towelboy. He’s just an idiot.

Born out of the impenetrable divide of Disco and Metal, this group of New York City brothers fearlessly obliterated the truce line that had been set in the great Disco / Metal Peace accord of 1977 when they seamlessly blended the two genres with their debut album, We Rock Sweet Balls and Can Do No Wrong - a collection of Bee Gees songs redone in a heavy metal treatment reminiscent of Judas Priest, Motley Crue and Guns N Roses.

Since then, they have crisscrossed the globe with their spectacular live shows, storming across the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France and Switzerland.

On subsequent full length albums, Humbled By Our Greatness, Death To False Disco Metal, The Solo Albums, The Joy of Sex, Tragedy Goes to the Movies and #1 Christmas Holiday Party Mix, Tragedy spread their glittered wings to take on non-Bee Gees classics from the disco era, soft rock anthems and party jams.

In 2015, Tragedy broke the internet with a viral video featuring their take on You’re the One That I Want from the Grease soundtrack. In 2017, Tragedy’s video for Stayin’ Alive broke the internet once again. In 2019, two albums hit the NACC Heavy Top 10 charts.

In 2021, Tragedy signed a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records. The first album with Napalm is Disco Balls to the Wall - release date July 2021. It has hit the top 10 in Hard Rock/Metal charts in Europe and the US. And a new album is to be released March 3, 2023.»
