Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης: Η γυναίκα μου ενέπνευσε τους Pulp

Και έζησε αυτός καλά κι εμείς χειρότερα, Happy Birthday Yanis, αν τον δείτε στον δρόμο θα του πείτε χρόνια πολλά; σήμερα έγινε 56 ετών.

Απαντώντας σε Βρετανικά έντυπα για την είδηση που είχε μεταδώσει η Athens Voice, ο Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης είπε ότι η γυναίκα του Δανάη Στράτου είναι η μυστηριώδης γυναίκα που διψούσε για γνώση στο τραγούδι των Pulp, Common People.

One Twitter user posted this meme and said: 'There could be something in this Pulp / Mrs Varoufakis thing'

Η Δανάη ήταν σύμφωνα με δηλώσεις του Βαρουφάκη στο BBC η μόνη Ελληνίδα φοιτήτρια στο κολέγιο St. Martins στην περίοδο 1983 -88 όπου σπούδαζε γλυπτική στην ίδια περίοδο που ο Cocker σπούδαζε κινηματογράφο.

Είπε επίσης ότι δεν την γνώριζε βέβαια τότε, αλλά μπορεί να διαβεβαιώσει ότι πρόκειται για συναρπαστική γυναίκα.

Το 2012 η Κύπρια καλλιτέχνης Κατερίνα Κανά, είχε ισχυρισθεί ότι αυτή ήταν η έμπνευση.

O Jarvis Cocker το 2013 είχε δηλώσει στο ΝΜΕ ότι όταν ήταν φοιτητής είχε συνομιλήσει με μία πλούσια Ελληνίδα η οποία του αποκάλυψε ότι ήθελε να ζήσει σαν μία απλή γυναίκα και να κάνει αυτά που δεν μπορούσε να κάνει σαν επώνυμη κόρη πλούσιας οικογένειας

Ms Stratou studied at Central Saint Martins between 1983 and 1988, the same year lead singer Jarvis Cocker enrolled in a film studies course during a break from the band

'I WANT TO LIVE LIKE COMMON PEOPLE'

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge

She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.

She told me that her Dad was loaded

I said in that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola.

She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people

I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people

I want to sleep with common people like you.

Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.

I took her to a supermarket

I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.

I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.

I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.

Are you sure you want to live like common people

You want to see whatever common people see

You want to sleep with common people,

you want to sleep with common people like me.

But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.

Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.

Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.

But still you'll never get it right

'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall

If you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people

You'll never do what common people do

You'll never fail like common people

You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw

Because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'

Laugh along with the common people

Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.

Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people, I want to live with common people
