用 YouTube 看影片、聽音樂會發生很神奇的事,就是 YouTube 會「帶」我進入未知或不熟的「異世界」,讓我接觸到一些我幾乎不會主動去聽的歌曲,像是這首有著濃厚鄉村樂風的《Happen to Me》,然後,我發現我還挺喜歡的。
《Happen to Me》是首旋律輕快的鄉村流行音樂,Russell Dickerson 頗具特色的嗓音詮釋出鄉村大男孩面對突然降臨的「豔遇」時,那種有點期待又有點怕受傷害的心情。其實,充滿復古味的MV,是最先吸引我注意的,它讓我聯想到美劇的場景,感覺好親切(咦?是追了多少美劇啊~)。Russell Dickerson 在影片中與舞群所跳的魔性舞步,據說靈感是來自 Cyndi Lauper 在 1983年發行的歌曲《Girls Just Want to Have Fun》,連歌詞中也用上了這句:「Girls Just Wanna Have Fun」,滿滿的致敬意味。當然,《Happen to Me》本身也有很不錯的成績,在今年九月跟十月都曾拿下【公告牌鄉村電臺榜(Billboard’s Country Airplay chart)】的冠軍。最近又找了 Jonas Brothers 合作,Russell Dickerson 粗獷的嗓音加上 Jonas Brothers 清亮的歌聲,呈現出不同味道的《Happen to Me》。此文著作權為[西莉西亞的喃喃自語]所有,未經同意請勿轉載。
從 Cyndi Lauper 的《Girls Just Want to Have Fun》影片中可以看到四十多年前的景物(有轉盤電話耶~),很有趣也很特別!

Happen to Me 愛神降臨
I don't know who broke up with who
我不知道是誰跟誰提分手的
But she's in here chasing tequila with High Noon
但她現在在這裡喝著龍舌蘭混伏特加氣泡水
Don't know how long she's been moving on
不知道她結束那段感情多久了
Maybe five weeks or five minutes, but it can't be too long
也許是五週,也許是五分鐘,但肯定沒多久
And we did that "What's your name" thing
我們聊了些「你叫什麼名字」、
Where you from and what's your favorite drink
「你來自哪裡」、「你最喜歡喝啥」之類的瑣事
She said, "Shut up, come and dance with me"
然後她說:「閉嘴,過來跟我跳舞」
And now she's singing
接著她開始大聲唱著:此文著作權為[西莉西亞的喃喃自語]所有,未經同意請勿轉載
