老歌亂談(1263)Steamy Windows

此曲  - 瑞女歌手Tina Turner ( 2013Tina放棄美國籍申請成為瑞士公民) 自其1989的錄音室專輯《Foreign Affair》中另發行的單曲,在比利時排行榜獲得第5名的佳績 ( US # 39 )

此曲Tony Joe White所寫 ( 上一篇的《Out of the Rain》也是 ),講的是夜晚開車在鄉間小路,前一刻還在想著停車的事,但很快地車窗就被體溫蒙上了一層蒸氣白霧,兩人在後座是在幹些什麼事呢?令人充滿了遐思,也勾起了許多人早年在鄉村生活時的愛情場景。如同寫歌者Tony Joe White的另一首《Polk Salad Annie》,同樣標誌性的吉他開場,或也是Tina Turner將此曲選為1990199320082009巡演開場曲的考慮因素。

Tina Turner開始進入歌壇,當然是受到了Ike Turner提攜 ( Tina原和Ike樂隊的薩克斯風手在一起,還生了個兒子。)1960後以夫妻檔Ike & Tina Turner Revue ( 歌舞團 ) 名稱活耀於舞台。1972,翻唱C.C.R.( 清水合唱團 ) 的《Proud Mary》,為夫妻倆各帶來了一座「節奏藍調雙人或團體最佳演唱」的葛萊美獎 ( Tina總共贏得過12座葛萊美獎,包含一座終身成就及3座歌曲名人堂獎 )1976,因受不了Ike的肢體暴力,Tina決心與Ike分手 ( 兩人於1978離婚 )Ike這位老兄曾結過14次婚,真不知該稱他為「多情男」還是「渣男」?

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
All systems on overload
Radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
And we were snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time

Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

You can wine and dine with a man all night
With good intent
But there is something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the defense

Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

There's a sound outside the front door
And I know it's just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
And start things happen again
Yeah, yeah

Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Steamy windows
Steamy windows
Zero visibility, yeah
Steamy windows

 

 《Proud Mary》

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
And we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "proud mary"

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

I Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Say we're rolling rolling
Rolling on the river ~ the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Tell me one more time rolling rolling
Rolling on the river
