老歌亂談(471)Hungry Eyes



此首《Hungry Eyes》是為1987的電影《Dirty Dancing》( 台譯:熱舞17 )所寫的插曲,演唱者為美國歌手Eric Carmen。

Eric Carmen出道時為Raspberries樂團的成員之一 ( 該團亦曾有銷售百萬的熱門曲《Go All The Way》),1975樂團解散後開始單飛,也推出了幾首自寫自唱的暢銷曲,其中較出名的像是《All By Myself》。闖蕩了多年之後,Carmen對歌唱事業有些心灰意冷,甚至對自己的歌聲也不是很滿意,故搬回家鄉俄亥俄州,準備專注從事於歌曲的創作。此時,以往樂團的製作人打電話來,說正擔任電影的音樂製作人,有首歌很適合他。Carmen初聽此曲的試唱帶時覺得有點怪怪的,錄唱完後不僅不看好,還心想會「死得很難看」。而當電影推出後,音樂專輯也跟著大賣了1500萬張,大大的出乎了Carmen的預料。真所謂好運要來,城牆也擋不住。

此曲於1988分別獲得告示牌及錢櫃排行榜的第4及第3名,也使得Eric Carmen重拾信心站回舞台。電影的壓軸歌曲《The Time Of My Life》( 與此曲相同的作者 ),獲得1987奧斯卡最佳電影原唱歌曲獎。

飢渴的眼神...... 接下來呢?恐怕就是乾柴烈火了!^^

I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You're mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I

I wanna hold you so hear me out
I wanna show you what love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I

Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I

Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did i take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be.

I got Hungry Eyes
