Vol.21 The Power Station 「Some Like It Hot」


 少し前の更新(Vol.13)に関連した話題で、久しぶりに洋楽を聴くようになりました。といっても、今流行の曲ではなく、僕が中学生の頃に聴いていた曲ばかり。
 中学生の頃、一番大好きだったのは、Wham!(ワム!)。「Bad Boys」、「Careless Whisper」、「Last Christmas」、「Freedam」、「Everything She Wants」などで、他の曲も好きです。
 と、ここまで書いてきて、不意に同じブログの「東海・旅の足跡 2」には、英字のタイトル(小見出し)がほとんどないことに気が付きました。
 冒頭の話題に戻って、Wham!(ワム!)と同じ頃に流行した曲を今、聴いているのですが、中でもお気に入りは、The Power Station(パワー・ステーション)の「Some Like It Hot」。聴いているだけで、不思議と元気になります。

 「Some Like It Hot」
 We want to multiply, are you gonna do it
 I know you're qualified, are you gonna do it
 Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it
 Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it
 Feel the heat pushing you to decide
 Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not
 Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
 Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
 Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
 Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry
 The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
 She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
 She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
 I know you won't be satisfied until you do it
 Feel the heat pushing you to decide
 Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not
 Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
 Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
 Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
 Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry
 Feel the heat pushing you to decide
 Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not
 Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
 Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on 
 Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
 Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry
 Some like it hot, some like it hot
 Some like it hot, some like it hot
 Some like it hot, some like it hot
 Some like it hot, some like it hot

 他にも、Stevie Wonder(スティーヴィー・ワンダー)の「PartTime Lover」、Culture Club(カルチャー・クラブ)の「Miss Me Blind」、Yes(イエス)の「Owner Of A Lonely Heart」などを繰り返し聴いています。

 以下は余談。
 村田和人さんの歌を初めて聴いた(「一本の音楽」)のも、中学生の頃で、今も村田さんの歌を聴けば、元気になります。「Stay The Young」ということで。
