Si hay una melodía reconocible en el mundo del rock, esta debe el riff de smoke on the water, el gran tema de la banda británica deep purple incluyó por primera vez en su disco machine head. La letra del track esta basada en una historia real, y cuenta la historia del incendio de un casino en el cual ellos grababan un album de estudio, fuego que fue causado por el disparo de una bengala dentro del recinto. El idiota que disparó la bengala debe estar feliz, o al menos debió morir feliz, porque con su estúpido acto inspiró probablemente una de los mejores canciones de la historia del rock.
letra
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place in town
When some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Dragging kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
And with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
We made our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Hoy, además de traer la canción, les mostramos un exquisito cover realizo por japoneses utilizando instrumentos tradicionales de su cultura.
