老歌亂談(833)You Really Got Me
此曲為英國樂團The Kinks的主唱Ray Davies所寫，在錄完第一版後，由於曲風偏向藍調及節奏較慢，Ray本人及樂團均不滿意。重錄第二版時，Ray的弟弟Dave，也是樂團的主奏吉他手，刻意的將吉他音箱喇叭的紙盤割破及刺洞，以製造吉他聲音失真的效果 ( 這個台長我有經驗，在1967左右，台長有台4個十吋喇叭的電吉他音箱(40W)，或許是經常音量開得太大，其中一個喇叭的紙盤被震破，而會有破風的「噗噗」聲，後來好不容易找到一家電器行才將之補好。)，而這也成為了「fuzz ( 破音)」音效的先驅。
不過，一直有謠傳，此曲的主奏吉它，是由當時還在任錄音樂手的Jimmy Page ( 後為知名樂團Led Zeppelin的吉它手 ) 代打。大眾之所以會相信，是因為The Kinks才成立不久，甚至尚未推出過專輯，而且當時Dave Davies才17歲 ( Ray 20歲 )，毛頭小子怎可能有如此的吉他表現？當然此謠傳後經Jimmy Page本人及此曲的製作人Shel Talmy澄清與證實為誤。
Jimmy Page
據Ray Davies在2016的訪談中提到，此曲的靈感來自於某次在俱樂部演唱，在觀眾中有一年輕女孩，就是他喜歡的型，有著漂亮的嘴唇，身形微瘦、但還不至於皮包骨，有點像Françoise Hardy ( 法國女歌手 )，雖非長髮，但也及肩，足夠以手握住了。Ray Davies為此女孩寫了這首歌，即使之後再也未遇見過她。
Francoise Hardy
此曲在1964奪得了英國排行榜的冠軍，在美國 ( # 7 ) 及德國、加拿大、愛爾蘭等都有不錯的佳績，The Kinks因而成為了國際性的樂團，也名列在「英倫入侵 ( 美國 )」的樂團之一。
歌名「You Really Got Me」該如何翻？依歌詞內容，或許可譯成「你真的煞到我了」！^^
Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin' now
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin' now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

破音真的很明顯，這就是他們要的特效吧！在那個凡事中規中矩的年代，算很有創意的
