老歌亂談(862)Wild Night
此曲為北愛爾蘭歌手Van Morrison自寫自唱，收錄在他第5張的專輯《Tupelo Honey》( 藍果樹蜂蜜？) 中，並為開場的曲目。同年(1971) 另發行單曲，在告示牌熱門100排行榜獲得第28名。
Morrison似乎頗喜歡這首歌，在其歌唱生涯，經常在演唱會上表演此曲。歌名雖然有個「Wild」，但看歌曲內容，似也未如想像中的「狂野」。男女在夜晚將自己打扮得水水的，然後滿懷信心的「出征」，接著應該就是音樂、跳舞及啤酒。當然，最企盼的還是當晚能有豔遇吧！
1994，美國歌手John Mellencamp和Meshell Ndegeocello翻唱此曲，在告示牌熱門100排行榜獲得第3名 ( 在「當代成人排行榜」則為冠軍 )。Meshell Ndegeocello在影音中的短髮造型及彈奏Bass，讓人難辨男女 ( 感覺有點偏向女生，沒錯，就是位女生。 )。說出來應該就不怎麼奇怪了，Ndegeocello是位雙性戀者，之前曾和女作家、女權主義者Rebecca Walker在一起。1989，不知和何人生了第一個兒子 ，幾年後結婚又再生了個兒子。

As you brush your shoes, stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All the wild nights breezes in your memory ever
And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking out on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying
Ooh wee, a wild night, is calling, alright
Ooh wee, wild night, is calling
All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys, do the boogie woogie
On the corner of the street
And the people passing by, stare in wild wonder
And inside the jukebox roars just like thunder
And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking out on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying
Ooh ooh ooh wee, wild night, is calling, alright
Ooh ooh ooh wee, wild night, is calling, alright
Wild night, is calling
The wild night is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out make romance
Wild night, is calling
The wild night is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out make romance
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All the wild nights breezes in your memory ever
And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking out on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying
Ooh wee, a wild night, is calling, alright
Ooh wee, wild night, is calling
All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys, do the boogie woogie
On the corner of the street
And the people passing by, stare in wild wonder
And inside the jukebox roars just like thunder
And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking out on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying
Ooh ooh ooh wee, wild night, is calling, alright
Ooh ooh ooh wee, wild night, is calling, alright
Wild night, is calling
The wild night is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out make romance
Wild night, is calling
The wild night is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out make romance
