Today's YouTube -- Bee Gees

Just Give Your Best

ああ、何と懐かしい!!!!
「スター千一夜」のCM(確か旭化成)で「小さな恋のメロディ」の一部が使われていて、そこでジャック・ワイルドがピエロの後ろで、そのまねをして追い払われる・・・というシーンがよみがえった。
この映画自体、何回も見ているのだが、なぜかテレビCMでみたところをやたら思い出す。

Artist: Bee Gees
Album: Odessa
Song: Give your best

[spoken]
It´s a square dance Mr Marshall. It´s a square dance on the floor.
It´s a square dance Mr Perkins. It´s a square dance to be sure, to be sure.
Ev´rybody, grab partners ...

I´m just a clown that used to run around .
I used to have a million friends.
I used to start where ev´rybody ends.
But I just give my best to my friends .

I´ve done my shows. Ev´rybody knows .
I nearly sold all my clothes.
One man can give; another has to lend.
So I just give my best to my friends.
[spoken]and so you should .

And when you think that your life isn´t right.
You know the day isn´t always like night.
You´ve had your peace now it´s time for you to fight.
Just give your best to your friends.

I´m just a clown that used to run around .
I used to have a million friends.
I used to start where ev´rybody ends .
So I just give my best to my friends.

And when you think that your life isn´t right.
You know the day isn´t always like night.
You´ve had your peace now it´s time for you to fight.
Just give your best to your friends.

[music]

And when you think that your life isn´t right .
You know the day isn´t always like night .
You´ve had your peace now it´s time for you to fight .
Just give your best to your friends.
Just give your best to your friends.

Today's YouTube -- Shaft

Theme from Shaftはこっちの方が良かった。

ついでに歌詞も。

Artist: Isaac Hayes Lyrics
Song: Theme from Shaft Lyrics

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!

Today's YouTube -- Hajime Chitose

この人の「わたつみの樹」はインパクトがありました。びっくりしました。アタクシ、泣いた記憶があります。
元ちとせ「わたつみの樹」
この曲はベースラインが心地良いですね。僕は最初、フィリピンとかタイの人なのかなと思っていました。違いました。奄美大島の人。この人、何というか消費されなきゃいいなと思ったものです。どうだったんでしょう。
Haru no Katami
元ちとせ&あがた森魚
ちょっと違うと思います。悲しいです。

元ちとせが出た同時期にDragon Ashもでていました。LIfe Goes Onは良い曲だと思います。乗れます。
それにしても、そんなに昔だったわけでもないのに、彼らのファッションやアクションが微妙に古臭く感じられます。こういうのってあっという間なんですね。

どうせ古くなるなら、とことん古臭くなって、アイザック・ヘイズの「黒いジャガー」のテーマ。この「黒いジャガー」って映画の原題はSHAFTだったのだが、考えてみるとエロだったのだな。ブラックパワー!!

Today's YouTube -- Steve McQueen

スティーブ・マックイーンは中学から高校あたりまで僕のヒーローでした。出会いは「栄光のルマン」という映画で、それを5回くらい見て、そのすぐ後に「ネバダスミス」と「華麗なる賭け」のリバイバルを見て、封切りのサム・ペキンパーの「ゲッタウェー」を見てちょっと落胆したものの、同じくサムペキンパーの「ジュニア・ボナー」を、ちょっと遅れてから見てスティーブの良さを再認識し、同時期にテレビで荻昌弘さんの解説の月曜ロードショーで「砲艦サンパブロ」を(2週前後編に分かれていた)を見て良いなと思ったアタクシでした。亡くなった後、その頃は英語が読めるようになっていたアタクシは、彼の伝記を買いました。翻訳も出てると思います。

この7月、タバコが値上がりしますね。

Another of the same series

スティーブがCoolなのは同意ですが、こういう風にコマーシャルに使うのは嫌いです。

Today's YouTube -- Radiohead

RadioheadのOK Computerにはやられた。

No surprises
No Surprises
A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

SONG INFORMATION
Released: June 1997
Found on: OK Computer & No Surprises single
Thom introduced this song to his bandmates and the members of REM on the REM Monster Tour. It was 3 August 1995, in Oslo, Norway, and they were all gathered in a dressing room. The lyrics have been changed since then, but they originally told the story of a man who has become fed up with the way things are working out for him and is having problems with his girlfriend. Two lines from this version are, "He was sick of her excuses / To not take off her dress when bleedin' in the bathroom." Preparing to record the song, Thom altered those lyrics, but the meaning remains essentially the same. Aside from the fact that it features a glockenspiel, this track has a simplicity that proves Radiohead's ability to create a basic song with straighforward lyrics and make it fit smoothly into an album as complex as Ok Computer.

Karma Police
Karma Police
Karma police
arrest this man,
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge,
he's like a detuned radio.

Karma police
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

Karma police
I've given all I can,
it's not enough,
I've given all I can
but we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.




SONG INFORMATION
Released: June 1997
Found on: OK Computer & Karma Police single. Fila Brazillia Club Remix found on 12" single.
"It was a band catchphrase for a while on tour - whenever someone was behaving in a particularly shitty way, we'd say, 'The karma police will catch up with him sooner or later,'" says Jonny. "It's not a revenge thing, just about being happy with your own behaviour." Thom laughs, "This is a song against bosses, fuck middle management!" "Karma Police" was debuted back in 1996 durning the Alanis Morissette tour. Thom sang the line "This is what you'll get" an octave higher than he does on the album, with brillant results. Ed was the one who originally suggested they do a song based on the catch-phrase.

ちと、疲れちゃいました。夜と死には勝てん。寄る年には勝てん。
シンディ・ローパーの名曲。Time after Time

Cindy Lauper
Time After Time

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock ticks, and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flash back, warm night, almost left behind
Suitcase of memories...
Time after

Sometime you pictured me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're callin' to me, I can't hear what you've said
You said, "Go slow, I fall behind"
The second hand unwinds...

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time

I turn, my picture fades, and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets, stolen, from deep inside,
The drum beats out of time...

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting,
Time after time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me,
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting,
Time after time

Time after time...
