O início do Heavy Metal lá fora (anos 60~70)

O Heavy Metal se desenvolveu no final da década de 60, década de várias manifestações musicais, e início da década de 70, década conhecida como a “década da discoteca” devido ao surgimento da “Dance Music”, tanto no Reino Unido quanto nos Estados Unidos. Seus antecedentes foram o Blues-Rock e o Rock Psicodélico. Ao decorrer de vários experimentos com o novo estilo musical, a marca registrada do Heavy Metal, o som alto e distorcido da guitarra, fora desenvolvida. A banda Kinks popularizou essa marca com seu hit “You Really Got Me” em 1964.

Letra:

Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
Oh no...
(solo)
See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
You Really Got Me
