They All Laughed

Bobby Darin

Transposer:

Intro: They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round They all laughed when Edison recorded sound They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When they said that man could fly They told Marconi wireless was a phoney It’s the same old cry. They laughed at me wanting you Said I was reaching for the moon But oh you came through now they’ll have to change their tune They all said we never could be happy; They laughed at us and how But ho ho ho who’s got the last laugh now They all laughed at Rockefeller Center now they’re fightting to get in They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin They all laughed at fulton and his steam boat hershey and his choc’late bar Ford and his Lizzie kept laughers busy That’s how people are. They laughed at me wanting you Said it would be hello goodbye But oh you came through now they’re eating humble pie They all said we’d never get together; Darling let’s take a bow For ho - ho - ho who’s got the last laugh He - he - he let’s at the past laugh Ha ha ha who’s got the last laugh now

Cette chanson raconte le parcours de figures emblématiques qui, au fil des siècles, ont été ridiculisées pour leurs idées novatrices. Elle souligne comment, malgré les moqueries et le scepticisme général, ces pionniers ont réussi à réaliser leurs rêves, transformant l'incrédulité des autres en admiration. Le chanteur exprime également son propre désir d'amour, affirmant que ceux qui riaient de son aspiration à être avec une personne spéciale doivent maintenant se rendre compte de leur erreur. Le contexte de cette œuvre pourrait être considéré comme un hommage à la détermination face à l'adversité, illustrant que les grandes réussites n'échappent pas aux doutes, tant externes qu'internes. C'est un message d'espoir et de résilience, aussi bien personnel que collectif.
