Musica Power Pop
Dall'album Sixteen Tambourines del 1983 i californiani The Three O'Clock che diedero una spinta al movimento neopsichedelico del Paisley Underground con le loro sonorità Power Pop. Sicuramente la band è stata influenzata molto anche dalle liriche e le canzoni dei The Jam in primis, ma anche Secret Affair e Lambrettas. A testimoniare questo affetto con le band del Mod Revival a fine video c'è una bella scarrozzata in scooter, ma è evidente che non siamo nell'Inghilterra di Quadrophenia, ma nel caldo della California.
The Three O'Clock Jet Fighter Testo
Jet fighter man that's what I am
'Cause tanks go too slow
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low
See Mark and Ann come watch me land
I'm sure that they know
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low
'Cause I'm a
Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nightime
Jet fighter man and the Reds they go aaahhh...
Protect the land that fills my hand
With nothing to show
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low
And on the day when duty calls
I don't think I will go
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low
'Cause I'm a
Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nightime
Jet fighter man and the Reds they go aaahhh...
Ah, ah...
Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nightime
Jet fighter man and the Reds they go aaahhh...
Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nightime
Jet fighter man and the Reds they go aaahhh...
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Aaahhh...
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Aaahhh...
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
