"Rumores".

Timex Social Club fue un grupo estadounidense especializado en "rhytm and blues" contemporáneo, género al que le añaden elementos del funk, del rock, del hip-hop y del dance al género original propiamente dicho.  

El grupo se conformó en 1983 en la ciudad de  Berkeley, Estado de California, con los músicos Marcus Thompson, Michael Marshall, Gregory Thomas, Craig Samuel y Darren Cleage; tres años después, estos tres últimos músicos abandonan la agrupación, siendo reemplazados por Alex Hill y Kevin Moore y antes de tomar su denominación actual, se denominaban "Timex Crew".  En 1987 el grupo se separa, pero en 

En ese mismo año, lanzaron su único disco de larga duración, denominado "Vicious Rumors", el cual incluye el tema que compartiré a continuación.  El tema, muy bien vocalizado e interpretado por Michael Marshall, cuenta el por qué no debemos lanzar rumores ni nada que se le parezca.  Logró tres primeros lugares en las listas Billboard estadounidenses, otro en Canadá, un segundo puesto en Nueva Zelanda y dos terceros lugares en los Países Bajos.

"How do rumors get started, they're started by the jealous people and,

they get mad seein' somethin', they had and sombody else is holdin'.

Tell me that temptation, is very hard to resist,

but these wicked women, o-oh, they just persist.

Maybe you think it's cute, but girl, I'm not impressed,

I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess."

"Look at all these rumors, surroundin' me every day,

I just need some time, some time to get away from...

From all these rumors, I can't take it no more,

my best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door."

"Hear the one about Tina, some say she's much too loose,

that came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice.

Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay,

I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way."

Hear the one about Susan, some say she's just a tease,

in a camisole she's six feet tall, she'll knock you to you knees."

"Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day,

I just need some time, some time to get away from...

From all these rumors, I can't take it no more,

my best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door."

"I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger,

I can't show my face â 'cause when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer.

It seems from rumors I just can't get away,

I bet there'll even be rumors floatin' around on Judgment Day.

I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill,

for the next time they catch somebody startin' rumors, shoot to kill."

"Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day,

I just need some time, some time to get away from...

From all these rumors, I can't take it no more,

my best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door."

"What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life,

I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life.

What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life,

I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life.

What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life,

I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life."

"Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day,
I just need some time, some time to get away from...

"Stop, stop, spreadin' those rumors around,
Stop, stop, spreadin' the lies!
Stop, stop, spreadin' those rumors around,
Stop, stop, spreadin' the lies!"

"Stop, stop, spreadin' those rumors around,
Stop, stop, spreadin' the lies!
Stop, stop, spreadin' those rumors around,
Stop, stop, spreadin' the lies!"

Stop, stop, spreadin' the lies!"
