「明日に向かって撃て」（"Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid"）のテーマソングが気になったので調べてみた。
"Raindrops keep falling on my head" written by Burt Bacharach and performed by B.J. Thomas
軽快なギターで始まる明るくも悲しい曲だ。
Raindrops are fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head and they keep fallin'
女に振られた男が雨の中を悲しく佇んでいる曲だとずーっと思っていたが違うみたいだな。「足が大きすぎてベッドからはみ出している男のようだ」とは何のことなんだ。
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head and they keep fallin'
会社の上司かなんかが気に入らないのか？そいつは仕事中寝ているのか？
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
おい会社で嫌がらせ受けてるのか？
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free, nothin's worryin' me
ついに会社を辞めたのか？せいせいしたか。とりあえず良かったな。
メロディーはすごくいいんだが。Bacharachは何でこんな変な歌詞を書いたのかな。悩むぜ。
