老歌亂談(553)The Most Beautiful Girl



此曲最早於1968由寫歌者之一的Norris Wilson以歌名《Hey Mister》錄唱發行,這位Norris老兄曾替多位知名的鄉村歌手寫過 ( 或合寫 ) 不少暢銷曲,而等到唱自己的歌時,在排行榜成績最好的一首---《Do It to Someone You Love》,也不過才第20名。

1973,美國鄉村歌手Charlie Rich將《Hey Mister》改唱為《The Most Beautiful Girl》,成績好的超乎想像,在告示牌的鄉村、流行及易聽 ( Easy Listening ) 三個排行榜均獲得冠軍,可稱得上是三冠王。Charlie Rich中年以後,可能是由於頭髮變白,博得了個「Silver Fox」的綽號。此曲及同時期的另首《Behind Closed Doors》,都是Charlie Rich知名的代表作。

交到了漂亮的女朋友,可不要隨便地惹她生氣。否則,會像歌中的這位老兄,變得可憐巴巴的,等於是到處在張貼附有道歉聲明的尋友啟事了。
呵呵!



Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh won't you tell her, that I love her

I woke up this morning, realized what I had done
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn
I knew I'd lost my morning sun
I lost my head and I said some things
Now comes the heartaches that the morning brings
I know I'm wrong and I couldn't see
I let my world slip away from me

So, hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her
If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her

真的好可憐!
這老兄的癡情與真誠
我想當時很多人聽了都會想幫他尋人吧~
一個女孩遇上這樣的男人很幸福

由這位老兄的歌聲聽來
的確是深情款款
但感情的事也勉強不來
有些就是死纏不放,結果成了「恐怖情人」
甚至激烈到以結束對方的生命作為收場

華人承襲了儒家的禮教思想
大部份的家庭對於兩性間的相關話題都視為禁忌或儘量迴避
這也是當今的政府及社會應審慎檢視和思考的

※歹勢!不小心將妳前一篇的回應給刪了,但我仍記得妳的留言內容。^^
