老歌亂談(226)Feelin’ So Good(Skooby- Doo)

 

 

The Archies不僅是個虛擬樂團,還是個卡通樂團。當時是為了仿傚The Monkees在電視上的節目型態 ( 見亂談94 ),而製作了一系列的「The Archie Show」,只不過是將真人演出換成了卡通人物。節目每週播出一次,連續播了17年。

卡通中的幾位樂團成員都是在學的青少年,所以The Archies被定位為所謂的Garage Band ( 車庫樂團?)。想來也是為了迎合年輕觀眾的喜好,所推出的歌曲半多都是bubblegum pop。而就算是個虛擬樂隊,唱的也是沒什麼深度的泡泡糖流行樂,但他們1969的一首《Sugar Sugar》,在現實世界卻是大獲成功,不僅奪得了排行榜的冠軍寶座,也是銷售量超過百萬張的金唱片,幕後主唱Ron Dante也因此而浮上了檯面。

這首1968的《Feelin' So Good(Skooby- Doo)》雖然入榜的名次不高,但有位老外歌友說,這是他在The Archies所有歌曲中最喜歡的一首,我的感覺其實也和他差不多。呵呵呵!

 

Looky over there
Sunshine in her hair
That's my girl
Her name is Skooby Doo

Doncha like her smile
Doncha like her style
You know I'd walk
A mile for Skooby Doo

Oh, my Skooby Doo
I do what you want me to
Oh, my Skooby Doo
You've got my only head a'reeling
All the time
Feeling so good (so good)
Feeling so good

Any time at all
I wanna have a ball
All I do is call
My Skooby Doo

She can make me laugh
In a minute and a half
Yes, I'm going daft
With Skooby Doo

Oh my, I love you
Skooby Doo, I love you

I said a S-k-o-o-b-y-d-o-o
Oh, oh, oh, oh .

Diamonds in a ring
Presents I could bring
Wouldn't mean a
Thing to Skooby Doo

Sunday after mass
Picnic in the grass
Digging Mama Cass
With Skooby Doo

(So good) Feeling so good
Whoppa bow bow
Whoppa bow bow
Whoppa bow bow
My Skooby Doo (Feeling so good)
