Le groupe Wham! est un duo composé de deux copains de lycée,
George Michael et Andrew Ridgeley. Les deux jeunes gens,
fous de funk et de ska forment d'abord the executive qui se rebaptise
Wham! à la demande de leur maison de disque en 1982.
Ils enregistrent leur premier single baptisé "Young Guns" qui fait rapidement
le tour des clubs branchés de la capitale londonienne.
Les chansons suivantes, "Wham Rap", "Bad Boys"et "Club Tropicana" connaissent la même réussite. Leur premier album de Wham! sort en 1983.
Paroles:
Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars,
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland -
From beneath their panamas...
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan !
Castaways and lovers meet,
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Oh, soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summer's tune,
A whole night's holiday !
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan !
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan !
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight !
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight !
Cool, cool, cool, cool
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan !
Cool, cool, cool, cool
Cool, cool, cool, cool
