老歌亂談(209) Fire
昨天,朋友派他兒子開車來載我去飯局,車上有在放音樂,我問:這是什麼歌,怎麼這麼好聽?回說是黃小琥的Pub歌曲---《Fire》。
原來,這首《Fire》是Bruce Springsteen於1977推出的自寫曲。起初,Bruce Springsteen想像這首歌可以由他的偶像---貓王Elvis Presley來錄唱,並宣稱曾將Demo帶寄了過去,無奈在寄達之前,貓王已猝然死亡 ( August 16, 1977 )。之後,有女子團體The Pointer Sisters在1978翻唱,獲得告示牌雜誌熱門百大的第2名,也是這首歌最好的成績了。
看歌詞,這種「不要其實就是要」的狀況,對男生來說有時真的很難分辨;而萬一是真的不要,因此被當成喜歡性騷擾或是使用約會暴力的色狼,那真的就冤枉大了。
黃小琥唱的也相當有味,在「優酷」及「土豆」網均有她的現場影音,有興趣的朋友可以去找來聽聽看。
I'm ridin' in your car, you turn on the radio
You're pullin' me close, I just say no
I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
Late at night, you're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay, I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
BRIDGE
You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool...
Well, Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet a love they couldn't deny
My words say split, but my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire
LEAD BREAK
Ooh fire...
Kisses like fire...
Burn me up with fire
I like what you're doin now, fire
Touchin me, fire
Touchin me, burnin me, fire
Take me home
FADE
