Forleden da vi skrev om Alex Chilton, undrede en kommentar sig over mit valg i en top-10 der, af The Bangles’ udgave af ‘September Gurls’ fremfor Big Star’s egen. Skal sandheden frem er originalen i den grad v\u00e6rdsat her – s\u00e5 meget at dens titel bliver ydmygt namedroppet p\u00e5 LS’s ‘Dr\u00f8mmenes K\u00f8benhavn’. Bangles-versionen blev taget for nu variationens skyld, og vel ogs\u00e5 fordi den i sin ubesv\u00e6rede popproduktion highlighter ‘September Gurls’ f\u00f8dte klassikerkvalitet m\u00e5ske mere klart end originalens letskramlende og hjerteknuste univers form\u00e5r det. Sangens formfuldtendthed er ikke noget lucky punch – Big Star har s\u00e5ledes mange sange der lignende er v\u00e6rd at lukke d\u00f8ren op til og forsvinde ind i. The Replacements’ Paul Westerberg skrev i l\u00f8rdags i New York Times en hyldest til Chilton<\/a>, hvor han afsl\u00f8rede sin egen favorit blandt dem:<\/p>\n

On Big Star\u2019s masterpiece third album, Alex sang my favorite song of his, \u201cNighttime\u201d \u2014 a haunting and gorgeous ballad that I will forever associate with my floor-sleeping days in New York. Strangely, the desperation in the line \u201cI hate it here, get me out of here\u201d made me, of all things, happy.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NIGHTTIME<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

At nighttime, I go out and see the people
\nAir goes cool and hurrying on my way
\nAnd dressing so sweet, all the people to see
\nThey’re looking at me, all the people to see <\/em><\/p>\n

And when I set my eyes on you
\nYou look like a kitty
\nAnd when you’re in the mood
\nOh, you look so pretty <\/em><\/p>\n

Caught a glance in your eyes
\nAnd fell through the skies
\nGlance in your eyes
\nAnd fell through the skies <\/em><\/p>\n

I’m walking down the freezing street
\nScarf goes out behind
\nYou said, “Get them away”
\nPlease don’t say a word <\/em><\/p>\n

Get me out of here
\nGet me out of here
\nI hate it here
\nGet me out of here <\/em><\/p>\n
