樂興之時。



*7'27'2010'
*The Complete Ella in Berlin [Live].

--

一開始Ella Fitzgerald俏皮地如是說:
Thank you.
We'd like to do something for you now.
We haven't heard a girl sing it. And since it's so popular,
we'd like to try and do it for you.
We hope we remember all the words.

接著她開始唱大家都很熟悉的The Threepenny Opera裡的"Mack the knife",
Oh, the shark has pearly teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
Oh, the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though, wears Macheath dear
So there's not, not a trace of red..............................後略。

然後Ella忘詞了,即興上場:
Oh, what's the next chorus?
To this song, now
This is the one, now
I don't know
But it was a swinging tune
And its a hit tune
So we tried to do Mack The Knife
Ah, Louis Miller
Oh, something about cash
Yeah, Miller, he was spending that trash
And Macheath dear, he spends like a sailor
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Could that boy do, something rash
Oh Bobby Darin, and Louis Armstrong
They made a record, oh but they did
And now Ella, Ella, and her fellas
We're making a wreck, what a wreck
Of Mack The Knife


還穿插模仿了Louis Armstrong:
Oh Snookie Taudry, bah bah bah nop do bo de do
bah bah bah nop do bo de do
Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear
And do bo bo bah bah bah nop do bo de do

So, you've heard it
Yes, we've swung it
And we tried to
Yes, we sung it
You won't recognize it
It's a surprise hit
This tune, called Mack The Knife
And so we leave you, in Berlin town
Yes, we've swung old Mack
We've swung old Mack in town
For the Darin fans,
And for the Louis Armstrong fans, too
We told you look out, look out, look out
Old Macheath's back in town

另再附上Louis Armstrong 1959' "Mack the Knife".

昨晚開車去接幾週以來一直在加班的Cobb。

(這週對我而言雖說是天上掉下來的假期,
但我一整顆心老懸著,
不知道敝校那一切自助式的行政會把我的課搞成什麼德行,
我不斷告訴自己別管他吧,
反正還是得收爛攤子,
天知道我卻依舊改不了一整天七上八下的。)

直到聽見台北愛樂播放著"Mack the Knife",
我才被Ella才華洋溢裡的熱情感染,
一個人在車上瘋狂地又叫又笑得開心極了。
更過癮的是,
剛嗨完一次
王世強又播了第二遍!

所謂樂興之時,
大概是這種氛圍吧。

anyway,
希望經過這的人能感染我昨晚車裡十幾分鐘的爵士愉悅。
