老歌亂談(412)Friday On My Mind
對於眾多的上班族來說，常常是從憂鬱的星期一開始，心裡就又盼望著週末假日。可以去玩樂？陪伴女友？( 或從事自己喜歡的活動？) 這首《Friday On My Mind》就是大致述說著這樣的一個心情。
此曲為澳洲樂團The Easybeats的兩位吉他手George Young和Harry Vanda共同所作，1967進入美國告示牌排行榜 / # 16 ( 荷蘭、澳洲 / # 1，英國 / # 6 )，而成為國際熱門暢銷曲。雖然這是The Easybeats樂團唯一進入美國排行榜前40名的歌曲，而在2001年，此曲被「澳洲表演權學會 ( APRA )」票選為歷來最佳澳洲歌曲的第一名。2007年，還被「澳洲之音 ( Sound of Australia )」登錄保存於「國家影片及聲音」檔案中。
The Easybeats樂團成立5年後於1969解散，之後各自組團。

Monday mornin' feels so bad
Ev'rybody seems to nag me
Comin' Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good
Wed'sday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind
Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is out of sight to me
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
I'll lose my head, tonight
I've got to get to night
Monday I'll have Friday on my mind
Do the five day grind once more
I know of nothin' else that bugs me
More than workin' for the rich man
Hey! I'll change that scene one day
Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind
Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight.
She is out of sight to me
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
I'll lose my head, tonight
I've got to get to night
Monday I'll have Friday on my mind

我知道The Easybeats這個團還有點意外
70年代有首歌'Hey, St. Peter'，演唱組合是Flash and the Pan
團員Harry Vanda和George Young
因而間接知道他們曾經是The Easybeats團員
原來他們這麼早就在音樂圈闖蕩了
坦白說，這首《Friday on My Mind》當年就聽過且印象深刻，但根本不知是誰唱的。 2018-05-01 16:41:43
