# Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
嗯...
1983年成軍於L.A.的Red Hot Chili Peppers(嗆辣紅椒),
很難定義他們的樂風屬性,
他們幾乎嘗試過各式各樣的曲風。
搞怪,這絕對是其中之一,
最搞笑的是美國有監獄用他們的音樂來折磨犯人,
真不知道是誰想出來的點子。
這個樂團最大的問題是團員們毒癮嚴重,
原本的吉他手Slovak更是於1988年死於服用過量海洛因,
然後由Frusciante接替。
但我想L.A.的娛樂圈毒品氾濫也不是一天二天了,
他們創作的Californication(加州淘金夢),
更是赤裸裸的描寫加州的真實情景。
要介紹的是Dani California...
這首歌是為他們的一位死去的女歌迷所寫的,
歌詞裡用了很多L.A.的俚語,
而且用上各州州名來押韻,
有興趣學習英文的可以試著看看。
當然他們的MV不可避免的搞怪,
模仿了十幾個當紅樂團,
(有人能細數都是哪些樂團嗎...?
最後會公布答案...)
相當的到位!
個人給四顆半星的評價,
扣半顆星是因為最後他們模仿自己,
太搞怪了!
Dani California / Red Hot Chili Peppers(嗆辣紅椒)
Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper
And Mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was
Anything more than poor
What in the world does your
Company take me for
Black bandana sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She’s a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin’
Baby what you gonna
Looking down the barrel of a
Hot metal 45
Just another way to survive
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest
She’s a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin’ when
It got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come
When I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was
Stealin’ another breath
I love my baby to death
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest
Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say say say
Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin'
For the quota
Down in the Badlands
She was savin’ the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She’s my priestess; I'm your priest
