老歌亂談(一)Wooly Bully


扁頭(相片來自芳格格網站)

假如問我,多年未見的年輕時的玩伴,現在會變得如何?我再怎麼猜,也不會猜到扁頭老來還會成為街頭藝人。當這個月初(NOV/2012)和也是難得見面的吉本在台北球場球敘時得知扁頭的消息,內心就一直在笑,除了覺得有趣,也替他感到高興。
 

我和扁頭曾是同學,也共組過學生熱門合唱團,扁頭是主唱,雖不是天生好嗓,但我認為熱門歌曲只要唱得出那股韻味也就差不多了,加上扁頭也會耍些肢體動作,記得好像是唱那首《Only You》,唱著唱著人就跪仰下來,在那個時代,也頗能製造一些舞台效果。
 

在我印象中,扁頭早期常唱這首《Wooly Bully》,應該算是他初任主唱的代表作。這首歌現在聽來,並沒有像其他經典老歌那般好聽,或許那年代的年輕人內心較為苦悶,需要大聲吶喊以及盡情的舞動身軀來喧洩吧。
 

謹以這首歌來替超過四十年未連絡的老朋友打打氣。扁頭,加油!!!




Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully
Hatty told Matty, let's don't take no chance
Let's not be l-seven, come and learn to dance
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully
Matty told Hatty, that's the thing to do
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully
