Dodjela amfAR Gala nagrada u Los Anđelesu pretvorila se u pravi šou. Ne šou tipa “vi ste dobili Oskara, pardon, ipak niste”, već istinski zabavan šou. Sve zahvaljujući Krisu Martinu (Chris Martin), frontmenu benda Coldplay.
Cijeli događaj vrtio se oko Džulije Roberts (Julia Roberts), kojoj je uručena Nagrada za hrabrost. Prihvatajući je, glumica joj je rekla kako joj veče djeluje kao njen dvije sedmice preuranjeni 50. rođendan, i bila je potpuno u pravu.
Pred brojnim zvanicama iz svijeta filma i drugih industrija zabave, Martin i domaćin večeri, voditelj Džejms Korden (James Corden), Džuliji u čast izveli su pjesme “Pretty Woman” i “Nothing Compares 2 U”, dok je muzičku posvetu slavnoj glumici izvela i Fergie.
Ipak, vrhunac večeri bilo je Martinovo izvođenje originalne pjesme “Julia's Smile”, posvećene njegovoj dugogodišnjoj prijateljici. Fokusirana na njen trademark osmijeh, pjesma je prepuna zabavnih stihova – od Martinovog straha kada hoda pored kanalizacija zbog “onog klovna” do pronalaska utjehe u “prelijepom primjeru Božije stomatologije”, koji ga zadivi i “kada igra pauka i kada igra Štrumfa”.
Stihove možete pročitati u nastavku, te pogledati snimke njegovog sjajnog izvođenja pjesme koja bi lako mogla da bude i radijski hit.
JULIA'S SMILE
When there are things in the world that get me so down
The weight of that violence that cracks the ground
I can’t walk the sewers no more, I’m scared of that clown
I ask all the mystics as they sat still
How do we survive in a world of ill
They said you watch ‘Mystic Pizza’ on ‘Notting Hill’
Because in those movies you get to see
A beautiful piece of god’s dentistry
When you see that how hopeless can you be
When you watch ‘Pretty Woman,’ ‘Erin Brockovich’
Those miraculous molars of faith’s light switch
it's the smile that lifts you when life’s a bitch
It’s the smile that lights up the whole darn earth
Even when she plays a spider or when she plays a smurf
That Julia Roberts smile, it stretches for half a mile
It never goes out of style
It just shines like a great big star
Watching ‘My Best Friend's Wedding’ and looking at that beautiful grin
On top of that lucky chin
Whoa, now look at just how happy we are
Take it now…
When things in the world are beyond belief
Just give me that set of big pearly teeth
And give me that smile that shines so bright
And I’ll know everything’s gonna be alright. Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Where’s that Julia Roberts smile
It stretches for half a mile
It's wider than the River Nile
It’s a great constellation of light
Oh watching my best friend’s wedding, and looking at that beautiful grin
I’ll never think of giving in because I know everything will be alright
La-la-la-lo-lo-lo…
When my head starts to spin, I just stand and look at that beautiful grin
I never think of giving in, I know that everything will be alright
Take it fellas…
Thanks a lot everybody we’re done
Thanks a lot everybody we’re done…
