老歌亂談(125)Yummy Yummy Yummy



 

這首歌是所謂的「bubblegum pop(或稱 bubblegum rock / bubblegum music)」,是由Ohio Express樂團於1968年首錄,並獲得美國單曲排行榜第四名。

 

Bubblegum pop算是流行音樂的一個類型,它主要的特色是節奏活潑、歌聲歡愉(我覺得是歌曲的音符結構簡單,也沒什麼意義深遠的歌詞,換言之就是沒什麼「深度」的歌曲。但,哈哈,快樂的歌還是很不錯聽。),主要是針對一些青少年的市場,開始時只是在電台播放,故常會找一些並不出名的歌手來演唱。bubblegum pop活躍的精華期從19671972,第二波的高潮在兩年後,直到1977Disco以及龐克音樂的浮現所取代。

 

Bubblegum pop最具代表性的樂團是「1910 Fruitgum Company」、「Ohio Express」和「The Archics」,他們有多首歌曲都是我很喜歡的,以後會陸續來介紹。Ohio Express樂團其實只是音樂製作人Jerry Kasenetz Jeffrey Katz 的製作公司,用來推出歌曲的「品牌團名」。由於幕後常找不同的樂手參與製作歌曲,所以一直未有確切固定的團員名字,這也是滿有趣的一件事。

 

再,您知道Yummy是什麼意思嗎?歌詞又是在唱些什麼呢?哈哈,查字典吧!

 

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I got love in my tummy,
And I feel like a-lovin you:
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.
Ooh love, to hold ya,
Ooh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I got love in my tummy,
And as silly as it may seem;
The lovin' that you re giving,
is what keeps me livin'
And your love is like
Peaches and cream.
Kind-a like sugar,
Kind-a like spices,
Kind-a like, like what you do.
Kind-a sounds funny.
But love,honey
Honey. I love you.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I got love in my tummy,
That your love can satisfy;
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And sweet thing, that ain't no lie.
I love to hold ya,
Oh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go
