老歌亂談(249)Dizzy
有一年，學校辦舞會，我們的樂團也理所當然地上台去演唱幾首歌湊個熱鬧。記得好像才唱了一、兩首，就有一位女孩跳到台前來問說：『會不會唱《Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da》？』看我們沒什麼反應，接著又問：『那《Dizzy》呢？』此時，我們那位主奏吉他手酷酷的回了她一句：『Next』。說來也巧，下一首我們準備要唱的歌曲，真的就是這首《Dizzy》。
這是Tommy Roe在1969所推出的單曲，在英、美、加均獲得排行榜的冠軍，也是他最出名的代表作。而Tommy Roe在60年代後期被認為是位泡泡糖歌手，這首《Dizzy》也很顯然的被歸類是一首bubblegum pop。這首歌的特色是有四個調，而且在主副歌中來回經過了11次的變調。
這首歌當年好像是被翻成「眼花撩亂」還是「暈眩」什麼的。看看現在的社會抗爭及政治紛擾，真的也讓許多人Dizzy --- 頭昏眼花了。
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl, I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas hangin' round you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playin' hard to get
Goin' around in circles all the time
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you and I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me and kissed you and my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
My head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
Oh, I'm so dizzy
You're makin' me dizzy
