老歌亂談(635)Summertime Blues
此曲為美國歌手Eddie Cochran自寫自唱,1958獲得告示牌熱門排行榜第8名,在英國單曲排行榜則為第18名。
Eddie Cochran也是自小就喜歡音樂,除了自學「藍調」吉他,在學校時也參加樂團。16歲時,和另一位吉他手Hank Cochran ( 倆人並無親戚關係 ) 共組二重唱,但在隔年就散夥了,接著開始從事寫歌的工作。Eddie Cochran真正開始出名是因為參與了1956的電影《The Girl Can't Help It》( 中譯:春風得意 ),在片中飾演自己,並演唱自己的歌《Twenty Flight Rock》← ( 此曲為當年15歲的Paul McCartney被介紹給John Lennon時,對John Lennon試唱的第一首歌。 )。
套用現在的話來說,Eddie Cochran算是位「大帥哥」。1957,又再參與演出他的第2部電影《Untamed Youth》。之後,推出包含此首《Summertime Blues》在內的多首熱門曲,終於嶄露頭角,成了當紅炸子雞。1960,Eddie Cochran赴英國巡迴演唱,在搭計程車時遇上事故,竟意外身亡,當時只有21歲。諷刺的是,Eddie Cochran為了向在1959因飛機失事,意外身亡的朋友Buddy Holly等三人致敬,錄了首《Three Stars》,歌曲尚未發行,就也輪上了自己 ( 這老天爺的玩笑也真的是開得太大了 )。1987,Eddie Cochran獲得推薦進入了搖滾名人堂。
I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money"
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blue
真的是帥~
天妒英才,可以這樣說嗎?
呵呵
人生太完美的話連老天都會妒嫉的
我們年輕時也會討論「早死」的話題
大家一致覺得
若尚未娶老婆體驗過性愛就掛了的話
那真的就太.........令人遺憾了.........
