Takes two to tango


Takes two to tango two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango do the tango do the dance of love

You can sail on a ship by yourself
Take a nap or nip by yourself
You can get into debt on your own
There are lots of things that you can do alone

But takes two to tango two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango do the tango do the dance of love

You can croon to the moon by yourself
Well you can laugh like a loon by yourself
Spend a lot go to pot on your own
There are a lot of things that you can do alone

But takes two to tango two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Let's do the tango do the tango do the dance of love
Takes two takes two
Darling it always takes two
To tango

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Nato nello stato dell'Ohio da una famiglia italo-americana originaria di Montesilvano , acquisì lo pseudonimo dal cognome del tenore Nino Martini. Lasciò la scuola a sedici anni e fece diversi lavori, compreso il pugile e il benzinaio, fino a quando, con il nome d'arte di Dean Martin, riuscì ad imporsi come cantante nei locali di New York. Il 25 luglio 1946 Dean Martin si esibì per la prima volta in coppia con Jerry Lewis al "Club 500" di Atlantic City. I due artisti diedero vita ad un duo comico di successo, che durò per una decina d'anni. Insieme realizzarono sedici film, da La mia amica Irma (1949) fino a Hollywood o morte! (1956). Debuttarono in televisione nel 1950 nel varietà The Colgate Comedy Hour, di cui furono successivamente anche conduttori. A causa di crescenti contrasti personali, il sodalizio artistico si ruppe il 24 luglio 1956. Molti pensavano che, senza il partner Jerry Lewis, la carriera di Dean Martin fosse avviata al declino. Invece Dino, come era soprannominato (in realtà era il suo vero nome), stupì tutti ottenendo grandi successi anche da solo, sia nella commedia che nel genere drammatico. Nel 1958 interpretò I giovani leoni con Marlon Brando, e nel 1959 recitò accanto a John Wayne in Un dollaro d'onore, nel ruolo dello sceriffo alcolizzato Dude. Negli anni cinquanta Dean Martin raggiunse il successo internazionale anche come cantante. Nel 1954 venne pubblicata That's Amore, una delle sue canzoni più amate, scritta dall'amico e collega italo-americano Harry Warren. Il brano è anche una dichiarazione d'affetto per Napoli e per le sue tradizioni come la pizza e la tarantella. Successivamente Dean Martin incise anche alcuni pezzi in italiano, come Innamorata, In Napoli, Simpatico e la celeberrima Nel blu dipinto di blu. Negli anni sessanta fu uno dei componenti fissi del Rat Pack, il gruppo di attori e cantanti capitanato dall'amico Frank Sinatra. Con il Rat Pack interpretò diversi film, tra cui Colpo grosso, Tre contro tutti, I 4 di Chicago. Nelle esibizioni del Rat Pack, Dean Martin faceva spesso la parte del gran bevitore. In realtà, rivelò poi il figlio, quello che beveva in scena non era alcol, bensì succo di mela. Tra il 1966 e il 1969 Dean Martin girò una serie di quattro film nella parte dell'agente segreto Matt Helm, e dal 1965 al 1974 condusse sulla NBC un proprio show televisivo settimanale, The Dean Martin Show. Negli anni settanta rallentò la sua attività, anche a causa di problemi di salute. L'ultimo dei suoi 51 film fu Congiure parallele (1987). Si ritirò dalle scene nel 1988 dopo una tournée di concerti con Frank Sinatra e Sammy Davis Jr., suoi compagni e amici del Rat Pack. «La soddisfazione che ho lavorando con questi due scansafatiche è che ci divertiamo più noi del pubblico», disse in proposito Dean Martin. Dean Martin si sposò tre volte ed ebbe otto figli, dei quali uno adottato. Una tragedia familiare lo colpì nel 1987, quando il figlio Dean Paul, allora trentacinquenne, morì in un incidente aereo. Il grave lutto fu un duro colpo per la sua già debole salute. Le impronte di Dean Martin sul piazzale del Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Los Angeles (California) Dopo anni di triste declino fisico e mentale, Dean Martin morì per enfisema il giorno di Natale del 1995; poche settimane prima Frank Sinatra non l'aveva invitato alla festa per i suoi 80 anni, volendo evitare di vedere il fraterno amico ridotto a un vegetale. (Secondo un'altra teoria i rapporti tra i due si incrinarono proprio in occasione della morte del figlio di Dean: Sinatra, Martin e Sammy Davis jr. erano in tournée e alla notizia della tragedia Martin la interruppe, contro il volere di Sinatra che non lo perdonò). Fu sepolto nel cimitero di Westwood in California. L'epitaffio sulla sua tomba è Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime ("Tutti amano qualcuno prima o poi"), il titolo di una delle sue canzoni più famose, nonché unica canzone a togliere i Beatles dalla cima delle classifiche di vendita nel periodo in cui le dominavano. Durante la lunga carriera Dean Martin incise numerose canzoni che testimoniano la passione per la sua origine italiana, come Arrivederci Roma, Mambo italiano, Nel blu dipinto di blu, la famosa That's Amore e molte altre. Elvis Presley fu un suo grande fan e una volta disse: «Io sarò anche il "The King of Rock'and Roll" ma Dean Martin è e sarà sempre "The King of Cool".» Playboy Magazine lo ha eletto "L'uomo più cool mai vissuto sulla terra". Dean Martin fu una delle figure dell'intrattenimento di maggior rilievo del XX secolo. Oltre ad aver formato con Jerry Lewis il duo di maggior successo di tutti i tempi, ebbe la capacità di imporsi come attore di primo ordine, a condurre The Dean Martin Show per numerosi anni entrando nel cuore degli americani (fu la prima star a firmare un contratto multimilionario con la Nbc), a riempire i casinò di Las Vegas e quelli del Rat Pack con i suoi show e a vendere milioni di dischi.
