來自曼徹斯特的電子音樂
今日逛商場,聽到一把清脆佻皮的女聲,在哼唱一首重電子音樂味的歌曲,歌詞言簡意賅,容易入腦,也能讓人感覺活潑輕快。我從未接觸過這支樂隊,他們卻讓我感覺熟悉。
回家搜索互聯網,才知道是來自英國曼徹斯特一隊新晉樂隊(The Ting Tings)的作品,一男一女零六年以indie樂隊打進當地樂壇,濃烈的八十年代電子音樂風格成為樂隊的賣點,結果迅間打出血路。
我在商場聽的,正是樂隊今年五月一上榜便穩佔英國單曲榜首的 That's not my name:
Four letter word just to get me along
It's a difficulty and i'm biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me 'hell' They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her' They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name That's not my name
That's not my name That's not my name
They call me 'quiet girl'But i'm a riot
Maybe 'Joleisa' Always the same
That's not my name That's not my name
That's not my name That's not my name
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last kid standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away Listen to me, i'm not
Although i'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name(ame, ame, ame)
They call me 'hell' They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her' They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name That's not my name
That's not my name That's not my name
They call me 'quiet girl' But i'm a riot
Maybe 'Joleisa' Always the same
That's not my name That's not my name
That's not my name That's not my name
Are you calling me darling? Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling? Are you calling me bird?
They call me 'hell' They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her' They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name That's not my name
That's not my name That's not my name
They call me 'quiet girl' But i'm a riot
Maybe 'Joleisa' Always the same
That's not my name That's not my name
That's not my name That's not my name
然後,我恍然大悟,這首歌的熟悉,並非來自這個世紀的The Ting Tings ,他們運用的八十年代電子音樂,竟然是讓我想起了上世紀一九八六年少女陳慧嫺的<反叛>。
