SUM 41 dan David Cook

Dua hari yang lalu, sekitar hampir jam 11 malam, lagi sedih-sedih (karena cinta—iiiiiiih males banget sih), eh tiba-tiba liat iklan ada tayangan konser Underclass Hero-nya SUM 41 pas manggung di Jakarta beberapa waktu lalu, di salah satu stasiun tv swasta. Wah, seneng dong, karena ini band memang sudah aku suka dari jaman D3 dulu. Tentunya selain Blink 182, The Used dan My Chemical Romance. Kalo aku di jakarta pasti waktu itu, pasti udah kubela-belain nabung jauh-jauh hari deh demi nonton SUM 41 langsung. Tapi karena nggak memungkinkan, seneng juga dong ada di tv. Akhirnya, muncullah SUM 41. Eh sayang disayang, yang ditayangin di tv cuma satu lagu doang, cuma pas SUM 41 nyanyiin Underclass Hero doang. Iiiiih bete banget+kecewa beraaaaaat. Masa tuh acara isinya cuma wawancara doang, padahal kan pengin liat aksi SUM 41 yang lainnya (huuuuuu). Yah biar gimana, lumayanlah bisa liat aksi SUM 41 meski satu lagu doang. Yang penting hepi deh, yuk nyanyi bareng...

Under Class Hero

1..2..3..4
Well I won’t be caught living in a dead end job
While praying to my government guns and gods
Now it's us against them
We’re here to represent
To spit right in the face of the establishment.

And now i dont believe (ain't got no faith in nothing)
Stand on my own (ain't got no sympathy)
Wasting the youth (while being young and useless)
Speak for yourself (and dont pray for me)

Well because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're here doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought and sold
Just like you

(A call across the underclass)

Calling out loud with no respect
I’m not the one, just another reject
I’m the voice to offend, All those who pretend
Unsung against the grain I'm here to rise against

And now i'm desensitized ( I state my place in nowhere)
Burning the flag (of the degeneration)
Everyone see (the anthem of no future)
Down with the mass (causes we're not listening)

Well because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're here doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought and sold
Just like you

May I have your attention please…
I pledge allegiance to the underclass as your hero at large.

1..2..3..4

We’re the saints of degeneration
We don’t owe anyone an explanation
Fuck elitists
We don’t need this
We're the elite of the just alright

Well because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're here doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought and sold
Just like you

Nah, apa hubungannya SUM 41 dengan David Cook? Sebenarnya sih nggak ada. Tapi gini nih ceritanya:

Pas SUM 41 lagi diwawancara, tiba-tiba dengar lagu always be my baby di radio. Hehe jangan heran, memang udah jadi kebiasaan buruk (atau malah aneh?!), kalau aku suka nonton tv sambil denger radio. Memang agak-agak nggak hemat energi sih, tapi mo gimana lagi. Gara-gara nggak mo rugi, ya dengerin aja dua-duanya. Kalo ada yg lebih bagus, baru yg satu dikecilin (hehe aneh ya—biar, deh). Nah, kebetulan aku hafal banget lagu always be my baby, karena ini lagu adalah lagu kenangan sepanjang masa. Kebetulan aku taunya lagu ini dinyanyiin sama Mariah Carey. Kenapa ini jadi lagu kenangan sepanjang masa? Karena ini adalah lagu perpisahan yang aku nyanyiin bareng ketiga sahabat jaman SMP di Balikpapan (Retno, Elok, Lala) di depan teman-teman satu kelas. Waktu itu kebetulan acara perpisahan teman-teman di kelas 1-1, ada 4 anak yang pindah kalo nggak salah, termasuk aku. Kita bereempat memang udah latihan nyanyi, kebetulan Lala memang pinter nyanyi dan sering jadi juara. Dia yang banyak ngajarin kita—terutama aku waktu itu untuk nyanyi. Jadilah lagu itu lagu kenangan sepanjang masa—lagu yang mengingatkan aku pada persahabatan kita dan berbagai kenangan di kota Balikpapan tercinta pastinya.

Kebetulan, tadi malam dengar lagu always be my baby lagi. Tapi, bukan Mariah Carey yang nyanyi, karena suaranya jelas-jelas suara cowok. Mulai dong nebak-nebak ini suara siapa, karena suaranya memang pernah aku dengar. Aku mulai nebak tuh suara yg serak-serak oke punya adalah suara David Cook—juara American Idol 2008. Dan, ternyata benar saudara-saudara, itu suara David Cook. Gileeeeeee keren bangeeeeeeet. Suara dan aransemen lagunya okeeeeeeeeeeee banget. Saluuuuuuuut. Suer, jadi tambah ngefans banget sama David Cook (bukan karena tampang doang, tapi suaranya itu lhoooo bikin jatuh cinta—apaan sih?! heboh banget ya). Dari awal dia masuk ke spektakuler American Idol, aku sudah ngejagoin dia jadi juara, karena gaya dan suaranya yang nge-rock emang beda banget dari yang lain. Didukung pula dengan wajah yang oke punya dan pembawaan yang cool-cool gimana gitu.

Lagu Always Be My Baby-nya Mariah Carey pun jadi kedengeran lebih kereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen banget. Kalo Mariah Carey bawain agak nge-beat, beda dengan David Cook yang ngebawain lebih slow sedikit sentuhan rock, khas ala David Cook deh pokoknya. Bedanya lagi, cuma lirik yang ada kata boy yang dinyanyiin Mariah Carey diganti dengan kata girl sama David Cook (ya iyalah, David Cook kan cowok ya nyanyiin lagu ini untuk cewek, masa untuk cowok—jeruk makan jeruk dong hehe).

Menurut info dari si penyiar radio, ternyata David Cook sendiri yang meng-aransemen lagu ini. Sampai-sampai Mariah Carey juga kagum sama David Cook dan bersedia jadi backing vokalnya. Gile beneeeer, Mariah Carey gitu lo—yang biasanya jadi penyanyi utama, eh sekarang malah jadi backing vokal. Nggak ada yang bisa kaya gitu, selain David Cook dong. Padahal dia baru aja dinobatin jadi American Idol 2008 tapi sudah mulai menaklukan dunia musik. Belum pada denger lagunya? Yah, rugiiiiii. Buruan denger deh, bagus bangeeeeeet. Berhubung denger dari radio, pengin juga dong denger full di albumnya. Nggak tahu juga lagu ini masuk dalam album solonya atau album ramean bareng peserta American Idol lainnya (cari info dulu,ah). Kalo CD nya dah keluar, aku juga pasti beli, kuduuuuuu (atau ada yang mo beliin? Hehe ogah rugi ya). Nyanyi bareng yuuuuuuuk (sambil bayangin David Cook dong hehehehe). Love u David Cook… (Love u, too—jawab David Cook, maunya :D)
