老歌亂談(192)Special Delivery



60年代有許多的西洋歌曲是所謂的bubblegum pop ( 泡泡糖流行樂 ),其特色是節奏輕快,聽來令人感覺愉悅,而歌詞通俗並不富什麼深刻含意,主要是為吸引青少年甚至更年輕一些的族群。由於這些年輕族群的消費能力較低,故多以單曲的方式發行。而1910 Fruitgum Company即為此類流行曲風的代表樂團之一。60年代我也正值青少年時期,當然也會喜歡這類的歌曲,哈哈,還一直到現在。

1910 Fruitgum Company樂團最出名的歌曲應該就是《Simon Says》了,另外和《1,2,3, Red Light》《Indian Giver》這兩首都獲得了銷售超過百萬張的金唱片, 以後會陸續再來作介紹。這首1969的《Special Delivery》雖然入榜的名次只達到38,但我個人覺得也還不錯聽。

男女兩地交往,若某天女方忽然將自己「特別運送」到男友家,哇!那真的是……。
