<img src="http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc700/c756/c75687pq1lf.jpg" style="float:left"></img> 今天收到一个圣诞flash,一听里面的背景音乐不正是Wham!当年经典的圣诞作品Last Christmas么,不过上面写着演唱的是Beatles,咋惊Beatles也玩这首作品。于是找狗狗大妈来问问,得知原来是一队叫Rubber Band乐队的一首作品,收自唱片Xmax The Beatmax,据说整张唱片非常Beatles-ish,骗过不少casual fans,甚至当时还是打着Beatles的旗号来卖,还好没有侵权,勉强凑个tribute,上次还有一队叫什么*** Beatles的也来过广州show了一场,广告语可是比真Beatles还要厉害。说回此曲,开头那句怎么听都像Carpenters的Please, Mr. Postman。
顺便把八卦到的东西也说一下:
原来Beatles对出christmas album还挺乐此不彼,从1963年开始陆续有圣诞single发行,不过都是面向官方fans而已,当然这显得非常rare
Last Christmas这首作品翻唱版本不少,但趣怪的版本更是多,小小甜Hilary、大男孩Erlend、wales的MSP、女伶Billie,甚至还有Sainkho Namtchylak,听她唱圣诞歌得多添几件毛衣才行~
CHORUS:
Wait
Oh yes
Merry Christmas little girl
Last year you left me little girl
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
CHORUS
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
CHORUS x2
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
CHORUS x2
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
