«Eh, Jude: coge una canción triste y conviértela en una mejor». Eso es lo que dice el Hey, Jude de ese gran creador de alegres melodías que es Paul McCartney. Y eso es exactamente lo que hizo Wilson Pickett (con la colaboración a la guiterra de Duane Allman) al versionear la canción de McCartney –dedicada a Julian Lennon, o quizá a John Ídem–: explorar sus posibilidades de ser una canción mejor.

—O confundo tu forma de hablar y tu apariencia o tú eres el duende avieso y malicioso al que a veces llaman Robin. —¿El que asusta a las jovencitas incautas en los caminos solitarios? —¿El que consigue que no suban las claras por más que las batas? ¿El que no deja que la flor de lúpulo haga fermentar la cerveza? —¿El que desnorta en la noche a los viajeros y luego se divierte con sus tribulaciones? —¿El que ayuda y trae suerte a quien le sigue la corriente y le llama buen duendecillo, querido y muy gentil Puck? —Decís bien. Yo soy ese jovial merodeador nocturno. https://youtu.be/cwbCZ5mDZWM
