Music Summer Song Icon Georgie Dann Dies During Hip Surgery
Greatest Hits 'The Barbecue', 'El Chiringuito' and Other Summer Songs by Georgie Dann
Editor and photographer looked at each other uncomfortably.
Georgie Dann
watched us with a smirk as the baffles by the pool spewed out their umpteenth misdeed.
We were sitting in his garden,
in his chalet in Pozuelo
. It was almost summer, his territory. We had just taken the obligatory photos of him at his barbecue and we already belonged to him: our ears were the guinea pigs of the
Dale-dale
. Another ode to the usual, the eternal dance: "Take your partner and give him during the day, give him at night, even in the car."
Another
unappealable childish lullaby
that, however, would never succeed, it is unlikely that anyone would even listen.
Georgie's time had passed: 2004 was already far from
Macumba
,
El negro
,
El bimbó
and the developmental song with which he had made his fortune, entertaining the staff in the blessed time when everything did not matter except the joke.
At 64, he didn't give a damn about being part of the Lower Cretaceous: he taught us the tune with the illusion of a beginner.
More nice than pesetas
, more natural than yogurt, completely back from everything, it cajoled us but well.
He was puteado because they laughed at his children, simply because they were his children, at school.
He told us about how he
came to play with Gainsbourg
in the Paris of the 60s (you know if it was true), how he saw Stan Getz, James Brown live at the Olympia.

had as much prestige (well, no prestige, but success) as crying and
laughter.
seriousness.
Then, everything had to be converted into a popular essence, into a slogan.
A bit of spice there, a bit of irony there, some go-go
thighs
for acuyá and ... Many tried, but very few succeeded.
Many were called, few were chosen.
The target was very small, a lot, and that gentleman who looked like a frying cook, a full-fledged rogue, a born guide, knew well how to hit him in the center.
The photographer and I, as I said,
we had a great time with Georgie
.
In the car, when we leave, we discuss every detail.
We feel, with a touch of guilt in my case, but with the classic ridiculous superiority, that we had laughed a little at him.
We did not realize that the exact opposite had happened.
