老歌亂談(1036)Does Your Mother Know
此首《Does Your Mother Know》為瑞典合唱團ABBA第6張錄音室專輯《Voulez-Vous》所釋出的第2首單曲,成績亮眼,1979,除了在比利時排行榜拿下冠軍,在英國、愛爾蘭、荷蘭和芬蘭為前5名,另在澳洲、加拿大、德國及瑞士等則是打進前10名,在美國告示牌熱門榜的成績也相當不錯 ( # 19 ),也是ABBA非常暢銷的一首熱門曲。
此曲為ABBA的兩位男團員Andersson和Ulvaeus所合寫,而由Ulvaeus來錄製「試唱帶」,結果大家竟覺得乾脆由Ulvaeus來擔任此曲的主唱 ( ABBA幾乎都是由兩位女生擔任主唱 ),這或許和歌曲的內容對象也有些關係。歌曲大意是說一位小女孩渴望成為男人眼中的成熟女生,而釋放出一些挑逗的眼神、表情,也想和男人一起跳舞。或許是小女孩的外表實在太稚嫩,男人並不想趁機佔她便宜,才會有這句主要的歌詞「Does your mother know that you're out」,也勸她放輕鬆、嘗試冷靜下來。其實許多青少男女,在成長過程中,都會急著想「轉大人」吧!
ABBA的歌曲多半為迪斯可舞曲的節奏,此曲加入了一些「搖滾」的元素,使得感覺更加的「豐富」和「熱鬧」,也或是此曲受到喜歡的因素之一。
在英國的現場版,加了兩段吉他即興獨奏。

You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child
Well, I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out
Take it easy (Take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy (Take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you
Give me a flash of that smile (Smile)
But girl you're only a child
Well, I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out
Take it easy (Take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy (Take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know
Well, I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out
Well, I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out
Well, I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out
