80年代洋楽マニア@メジャーもね -4ページ目

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)

ロック・ステディ

数年前、プレステゲームのグランド・セフト・オート

ってゲームの挿入歌。

ゲームで聞くまでは正直知りませんでした。

ウイスパーズの曲で他の曲は知ってたんですが

のつづきだす。

その知ってた曲ってのがコレ。

車の中で大音量で聞いてたっけ…

その頃乗ってた車がセダンタイプでコレマタ

重低音が効くんですわ～

SONYのボックス型リヤスピーカーでもちろん3WAY（笑）

後部座席ヘッドレスト後方のトランクルーム

につながるボードに穴をあけるんですね～

その穴の上にSONYのボックス型リヤスピーカー

を設置します。

すると…んま～重低音が響くは響くは

サイコー！

そんな時代に聴いていた曲でした。

それにしてもThe Whispers のダンス？ダッセー

The Whispers 『Rock Steady』1987年

I Looked At You
You Stole My Heart
You Were All That I Anticipated
I Wanted You -- Every Part But I Knew That Love Would Be Complicated
I Began to Touch -- But You Wouldnt Let It
It Never Seemed to Be the Right Time
I Started to Give Up -- Down to the Limit
And Then You Changed Your Mind

Chorus
And We Begin to Rock Steady
Steady Rockin All Night Long
And We Begin to Rock Steady
Rockin Till the Break of Dawn

You Looked At Me to My Surprise
You Were Through Anticipating
I Should Have Known -- It Was in Your Eyes
That You Were Gettin Tired of Waiting
You Wanted Me So Much -- But I Didnt Get It
How Could a Fellow Be So Blind?
I Started to Give Up -- But Love Wouldnt Let It
Then You Walked Into My Life

Chorus

You Wanted Me So Much -- But I Didnt Get It
How Could a Fellow Be So Blind?
Started to Give Up -- But Love Wouldnt Let It
And You Walked Into My Life

Chorus

ジョアンナ　チェリッシュ

ポップになり始めていた頃の

クール・アンド・ザ・ギャングの曲。

この頃の僕といえば…

かのじょ～～

と一緒に毎週のように良く出かけていました。

なんてラブラブなんだ！

よく行ったのが『フィッシング！』

まあ日本語で言う『釣り』ですね！

　じゃあどんな釣りかって？

ヘラブナつり！

今思えば彼女、嫌だったろうな＝＝って反省してます。

かなりオジサン趣味の若かりし僕でした。

ってなわけで今日は2曲まとめてみました。

Kool & The Gang 『Cherish』1984年
