廣告裡,珍妮佛的魅力比不上海尼根啤酒,這支廣告營造的品牌形象不用多說,令我興奮的是配樂“Happy together”.第一次聽到是在1997年王家衞的電影 “春光乍洩”的預告片段出現,同時歌名也成為電影的英文譯名.而因為配樂想去看這部電影(人生中要作的事實在太多,想看的電影也太多,沒看不見得會是遺憾,看了不一定沒有遺憾!).簡單復古的旋律卻深刻的被記憶下來(這首歌是有些歷史了!).就像是南加州的陽光,沙灘帶來愉悅的印象,但又似乎隱含墮落天使的戲謔. Lyric:
原唱團體 “The Turtles” (第一張專輯用The Crossfires) 是 1965年由Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman在加州成立的, 曲風是當時流行的*surf-rock, 第一首發行單曲翻唱Bob Dylan "It Ain't Me Babe." 隨即登上Top 10的熱門排行榜. 1967年發行Happy together 被認為是最成功的一首.
很多歌聽個十遍也記不起它的旋律,有些歌只聽一次就難以忘記,就像是人跟人的相遇,磁場對了就是會碰在一起. “Happy together” 就是其中一首.
*註60年代,美國太平洋沿岸的流行文化都加上了surf, 所以除了surf-rock還有surf-pop,其著名團體 "The Beach Boys"
Happy Together
(G. Bonner - A. Gordon)
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you,and you for me
So happy together
[repeat chorus]
[repeat verse 3; harmonize on first three lines]
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
[repeat verse 3]
Coda:
So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)
