Dans les trucs un peu bizarres qui viennent de chez Apple, je demande… la cassette Apple Boogie. Avec des hits comme Blue Busters, elle se pose vraiment comme un objet assez particuliers. Et il y en a une sur eBay pour (beaucoup) trop cher.
La cassette date a priori de 1987 et contient 8 morceaux.
La pochette
• Ripples, par Chris Many, Geoff Levin et Karen Gottlieb. Le titre fait probablement référence aux 10 ans d’Apple (vu la date). Le truc un peu bizarre, c’est que les paroles ne correspondent pas à ce fichier.
• Power To Be Your Best, par Chris Many et Geoff Levin. C’est presque instrumentale, sans paroles (sauf le titre).
• We’re So Excited. C’est une parodie de I’m So Excited.
• Blue Busters, qui fait évidemment référence à Ghostbusters, mais en parlant d’IBM (Big Blue à l’époque).
• Apple II Forever, par Geoff Levin et Candy Schleussner. Bon, forcément, le titre indique bien de quoi il s’agit.
• Breaking Through, par Chris Many, Geoff Levin et Karen Gottlieb au chant. Encore une fois, un truc à la gloire d’Apple.
• Building The Future With You, dérivée de New Attitude.
• Leading the way par Geoff Levin et Candy Schleussner.
Une photo de la cassette elle-même
Si vous n’avez pas envie de mettre 500 $ dans une cassette audio, on trouve une copie en MP3 en ligne (je ne vous ai rien dit). Sinon, on en trouve parfois pour moins cher, cet article de l’Aventure Apple indique qu’une cassette est partie pour environ 100 € en 2021.
Bon, comme les paroles étaient dans un fichier image, j’ai profité de l’OCR d’Apple pour faire une version texte dans la suite (désolé s’il reste des fautes).
Ripples
In the beginning
We didn’t have much to go on
Just our dreamc
And our visions
And in the silence that first night
We made a promise that we’d make it right
So we went down to the river
We watched the river flow
All of us together
Comin’ up upon a long, long road
Taking every turn and bend
Yeah, we were something then
We were young and innocent
As we watched ourselves fall and fly again
And now that road you know
It casts a shadow ten years long
And we can see the sun rise
On a brand new dawn
So look in my eyes as the sun rises behind us, my friends
And hold my hand, and pass it on, like we did back then
This secret of success:
This vision
This passion
This power
To be your best
This vow we made long ago
That like a river we’d always flow
So far from whare we’ve been
Changing the world we’re livin’ in
And oh, oh, Apple
Look around again
Keep on changing things
Keep on changing things
The time has come again
Through the triumph and the pain
The world will never be the same
And i’m ready – when you are
The time has come again
Cause just as you can’t ever tell the dancer from the dance
And you can’t separate the singer from his song
We’ve come so far together
This must be where we belong
And like a canvas with no paint
Like a stage that’s dark and bare
Like a sky without a stare
What are we without you there?
And oh, oh, oh, my friends
Look around again
Now there’s more of us together
Than there’s ever been
Keep on changing things
(Spoken)
And yet the last ten years were only the first ten years
Where we’ve been is only the start or where we are neaded
So we’ll go down to the river
And watch the river flow
All of us together
Goin’ down that long, long road
We’re So Excited
The race is on and there’s no looking back now
The futures even brighter then the past
We’re coming on real strong leading the way now
We’re breaking all the rules and moving fast
We want to shake you, break you, take you to tomorrow
Want to know you, show you, that we got what it takes
And if you’ve got the time we’ll blow your mind
We’re so excited
We just can’t hide it
The year was insanely great
And we’re really trying
We’re so excited
We just can’t hide it
We know, we know, we know
We’re really trying
We set the pace and we all pull together.
We set a fight beyond where we could see
And from the magic of imagination
We turned our dream into reality
We’re so excited
We just can’t hide it
The year was insanely great
And we’re really trying
Were so excited
We just can’t hide it
We know, we know, we know. we know
We’re really trying
We want to shake you, break you
Take you to tomorrow
Want to know you, show you
That we’ve got what it takes
And if you’ve got the time we’ll blow your mind
We’re so excited
We just can’t hide it
The year was insanely great and we’re really trying
We’re so excited
We just can’t hide it
We know, we know, we know, we know,
We’re really trying
We’re so excited
We just can’t hide it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Apple

Breaking Through
Do you remember yesterday
The dreams we dared, the paths we paved
The friends we made along the way
To change the world?
We held our ground when hard winds blew and we survived
and now we’re breaking through
and going nigher and higher
Ya know that it’s true
Cause nothing can stop us
Apple is breaking through
Now we’re breaking every border down
Till everyone belongs
Ya know it’s been a time of change
and ya know it’s made us strong
On the edge, we can’t stand still
We’re reaching out and
We’ll keep on goin strong
We’re goin’ higher and higher
Ya know that it’s true
Now nothing can stop us
Apple is breaking through
Every change you take
Every change you make
That’s what dreams are made of and we belong
In a world that we’ve made strong
That’s what Apple’s made of
(Instrumental)
Higher and higher
Where dreams come true
Higher and higher
Over the blue
Higherand higher
Apple is breaking through
Keep your eyes on
The horizon
That’s what dreams are made of
We dare to dare
and we dare to care
That’s what Apple’s made of
and we belong
In a world that we made strong
and that’s what Apple’s made of!
Break through!
Leading the Way
First there was nothing
But the hope of a dream
That burned in your soul
Till i: cried to be free
And now look around
How a dream touched the world
In a flash how it changed all our lives
We are Apple. leading the way
We are Apple, and we’re making life better today,
What a feeling, and we’ve only begun
It’s believing
That tomorrows much brighter cause
Apple is leading the way
And now look ahead
For the dreams yet to come
Lifting our goals to the sky
We are Apple, leading the way
We are Apple, and we’re making life better today
