老歌亂談(236)What's Up

這首歌其實不算很老,是4 Non Blondes樂團的主唱兼吉他手Linda Perry所寫,並出現在她們1993的首張專輯之中。照理說,這首歌名應該是《What's going on》,但為了不願和 Marvin Gaye在1971的歌曲撞名,反而取了個在歌詞中從未出現過的《What's Up》作為歌名。

這首歌先是在巴西大獲成功,接著在波蘭、澳洲、瑞士、瑞典、德國、愛爾蘭、挪威和紐西蘭等均為冠軍曲,但在美國本土只得到告示牌熱門百大的第14名。4 Non Blondes樂團成立於1989,最初為四個女生 ( 看來應該都是蕾絲邊 ),之後鼓手和吉他手相繼換人。1994因Linda Perry要單飛,樂團宣告解散。由於樂團只有這首較為知名的歌曲,而成了所謂的「一曲樂團」。

2010年,網路電台AOL Radio將此首歌列為「歷來100大爛歌」的第20名,並嘲笑說像這樣的音律就等同是---『將她們的海報和貓一起吊掛在樹枝上,除了還有更多的尖叫。』我卻不這麼認為,我覺得無論是主唱的表現,或是樂器的音效及彈奏都很到位 ( 電吉他的聲音真是好聽,鼓也打得很棒。),能受到如此多人的喜愛,絕對是一首成功的歌曲。美國歌手Pink及阿妹張惠妹均曾翻唱此曲,但感覺較之原唱的況味還有些差距。

 

 

25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on?
And I say hey, hey
I said hey, what's goin' on?
And I say hey, hey
I said hey, what's goin' on?
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on?
And I say hey, hey
I said hey, what's goin' on?
And I say hey, hey
I said hey, what's goin' on?
And I say hey, hey
I said hey, what's goin' on?
And I say hey, hey
I said hey, what's goin' on?
25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
