今回はなんか夏ウタってお題らしい。
まあ季節ごとに思い出す曲とか、絶対に流れる曲ってありますもんね。
もちろんたくさん候補はあるんですけど、今回はこの曲！！
ちょっと懐かしい感じの曲をセレクト。
Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 「Summertime」
- The Very Best of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince/DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince
- ￥1,117
- Amazon.co.jp
The Fresh Princeっていうのは、今はもう俳優としての知名度のほうが大きいですが、Will Smithがラッパー時代に使ってた名義なんですね。
この曲はちょうど高校卒業して、最初の夏。ちょっと都会に出て1人暮らし初めて、新しい友達がたくさんできて、今まで経験できなかったことして、色んな刺激受けて色んな意味で垢抜け始めて、とにかく開放されまくってた時にDJしてる友達の家でよくかかってた曲なんですよね。
まあすべてが楽しかった時代ですね、なんにも考えずに次の日学校あっても合コンしたり、夜な夜なすることもないのに友達の家に集まって、飲んだくれてはっちゃけてレコードかけて、この曲かかったらみんな超テンションあがって、一緒にsummer, summer, summertimeって歌ってたんですよ。
懐かしい青春の１ページ。
あの頃はまだHip Hopのこともそんなに知らなかったから、Will Smithがラッパーだってことも知らなかったと思うし、歌詞なんて英語わかんなかったから意味全然わかってなかったけど、この曲のサビだけフレーズも簡単だからほんと凄く鮮明に覚えてる。
なんか歌詞とかも改めて聞きなおすと、ほんといい感じだなって思える1曲。
Summer, summer, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little somethin to break the monotony
Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
A little bit out of control its cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
Give me a soft subtle mix
And if aint broke then dont try to fix it
And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the base and let the alpine blast
Pop in my cd and let me run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime
Summer, summer, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
School is out and its a sort of a buzz
A back then I didnt really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness
The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell em whos best
Riding around in your jeep or your benzos
Or in your nissan stting on lorenzos
Back in philly we be ou in the park
A place called the plateau is where everybody goes
Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
She turn around to see what you beeping at
Its like the summers a natural afradesiac
And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
To hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
Summer, summer, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Its late in the day and I aint been on the court yet
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
The temperatures about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
Cause youre invited to a barbeque thats starting at 4
Sitting with your friends cause yall remincise
About the days growing up and the first person you kiss
And as I think back makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
All the kids playing out front
Little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
While the djs spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family
Reunion
Then six oclock rolls around
You just finished wiping your car down
Its time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
It looks like a car show
Everybody come lookin real fine
Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
Every moment frontin and maxin
Chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
Leanin to the side but you cant spead through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Theres an air of love and of happiness
And this is the fresh princes new defintion of summer madness
まあ今年はどんな夏ウタが流行るんでしょうかね？
adieu!!
