Música The Best Damn Thing (Avril Lavigne)

Estou trabalhando uma música por mês para praticar a oralidade com meus alunos. Aqui vai uma sugestão.


The Best Damn Thing
Let me hear you say hey hey hey (hey, hey hey!)
Alright, now let me hear you say hey hey ho (hey hey ho!)
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the door
Even though I told him yesterday and the day before
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the tab
And I have to pull my money out and that looks bad
Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even know she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me I'm a scene I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Alright Alright yeah
I hate it when a guy doesn't understand
Why a certain time of month I don't want to hold his hand
I hate it when they go out and we stay in
And they come home smelling like their ex-girlfriend
But I found my hopes I found my dreams
My Cinderella story scene
Now everybody's gonna see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even know she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me I'm a scene I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Give me an A, always give me what I want
Give me a V, be very very good to me
R, are you gonna treat me right
I, I can put up a fight
Give me an L, let me hear you scream loud
One two three four

Você se lembra desta música do grupo Mamonas Assassinas? Leia o texto:


CHOPIS CENTIS

Eu “di” um beijo nela

E chamei pra passear.

A gente fomos no shopping

Pra “mode” a gente lanchar.

Comi uns bicho estranho, com um tal de gergelim.

Até que “tava” gostoso, mas eu prefiro

aipim.

Quanta gente,

Quanta alegria,

A minha felicidade é um crediário nas

Casas Bahia.

Esse tal Chopis Centis é muito legalzinho.

Pra levar a namorada e dar uns

“rolezinho”,

Quando eu estou no trabalho,

Não vejo a hora de descer dos andaime.

Pra pegar um cinema, ver Schwarzneger

E também o Van Damme.

(Dinho e Júlio Rasec, encarte CD Mamonas Assassinas, 1995.)

1. Nessa música, o grupo intencionalmente explora uma variante lingüística. Para isso, cria uma personagem que teria determinadas características de fala. 


a) No primeiro verso (linha) da canção, foi empregado “di”, em lugar de dei. Esse erro é muito comum entre crianças que estão aprendendo a falar, porque há outros verbos na língua com som parecido. Cite dois outros casos de verbos que terminam em i quando queremos indicar um fato passado.
_________________________________________________________________________
b) No terceiro verso, temos uma construção que está em desacordo com a norma culta. Identifique-a e reescreva-a em língua culta.
_________________________________________________________________________
2. Pouco sabe sobre a pessoa que fala nessa música, mas, por algumas pistas do texto, podemos imaginar. Em sua opinião, qual deve ser:

a) o grau de escolaridade dela? c) a classe social a que ela pertence?
__________________________________________________________________________
b) a profissão? d) os filmes a que normalmente ela assiste? __________________________________________________________________________
3. No 3o. verso da 3a. estrofe, é empregada uma gíria: “uns rolezinho”. Imagine o sentido dessa expressão, a partir do contexto.
_________________________________________________________________________
4. Existem alguns termos na letra da música que também podem nos dar pistas sobre a origem da pessoa que fala na música: “mode” e “aipim”. Em que região do país esses termos são popularmente empregados?
