Now and Then: The History Of Music (音樂中的今昔之比) --------- 從古至今的Sugar歌曲大拚比:Maroon 5(魔力紅),The Archie Show,Robin Schulz,Baby Bash


Well~聽說再過兩天就是美國知名樂團魔力紅的演唱會,我必須承認我從國中時期就是他們的粉

絲,那時候只要戴上耳機聽上一曲this love,she will be loved,Sunday morning,就覺得心情別好,回 

顧今年初的一月魔力紅推出這一首Sugar的 MV,立刻吸引各界的目光,超級洗腦,不只ICRT電台

全力放送,連逛個街都聽到店家狂播,這首混合disco,funk-pop,blue-eyed soul 曲風的洗腦sugar稱

得上算是今年熱門排行榜的前幾名吧!



Sugar是收錄在魔力紅在去年所發行的第五張專輯" V",由Adam Levine, Lukasz Gottwald, Jacob 

Kasher Hindlin 和 Mike Posner 所寫成的(好多人喔~),接著就衝進告示排行榜hot 100裡的第二名,

因為她輕快又活潑的節奏,為了拍出這首sugar的MV, 主唱Adam特地找來了他的麻吉David 

Dobkin---一位電影導演,以他所導2005年的喜劇電影<<婚禮終結者>>(該電影描述兩位男生闖

進多場陌生人的婚禮為了把到單身的伴娘)為MV的概念來拍.


David  Dobkin


<<婚禮終結者>>2005(沒錯!就是實習大叔的那兩位XD)


所以在去年的2014年底時,魔力紅帶著大家在洛杉磯"crash"了好幾對新人的婚禮(好好喔~我也

想被crash),在MV中他們會突然出現在新人舉行婚禮的飯店,讓在場的人們大吃一驚,接著他們就

直接在現場演唱這首sugar讓觀眾陷入瘋狂又歡樂的氣氛(大家都愛魔力紅,魅力真難擋),MV 一

播出立刻引起大家討論其真實性,wiki指出他們其實跟婚禮籌畫業者聯合挑出適合演出地點的

婚禮有哪幾場,新郎一開始只被告知會有一知名樂團會到他們的婚禮上演出,但後來因為魔力紅

怕會有新人不喜歡他們,怕到時候真的把人家的婚禮 crash就尷尬了,所以後來就只有新郎知道

此事,新娘及賓客都被矇在鼓裡.




國外甚至有媒體逗趣地表示,真不知道新娘子最快樂的時候是說I do還是看到魔力紅在台上唱

sugar,不過後來媒體又爆出其實這些場景其實都是安排好的,有些新人也是演員所扮演的,姑且

不論這些場景的真實性,我想只要歌好聽,主唱帥,大家還是會買單吧!不可否認的是這個婚禮的

概念一定跟主唱Adam和內衣超模 Behati Prinsloo剛新婚有關.

(傳說中的才子佳人 )




(哭泣吧~Adam的粉絲們)

I gotta be a man
我可是你的男人
There ain't no other way
這事上無可商量的餘地
'Cause girl you're hotter than southern California bae
因為女孩啊你太火辣了,連南加州的妞兒都遜色三分
I don't wanna play no games
我不想跟你耍什麼小把戲
I don't gotta be afraid
為愛我無所畏懼
Don't give all that shy shit
就把害羞都丟到一邊
No make up on
不必遮遮掩掩
That's my
這就是我




Nicki Minaj和魔力紅的混音版



當我聽到魔力紅的這首sugar立刻就聯想到1970年代有一首當紅的歌曲也名為"Sugar,Sugar"是

由 Jeff Barry和 Andy Kim 所合寫的,這首Sugar,Sugar收錄在一個由Don Kirshner和Ron Dante所

組的團的專輯<<Everything's Archie>>,一開始則在1969年的美國電視台CBS每星期六早上所播

的卡通The Archie Show裡的卡通人物所組成的樂團演唱,因為旋律優美且節奏相當輕快,立刻就

衝進告示牌排行榜,甚至位居第一名長達四個禮拜!!!甚至風靡到英國去了~

以Sugar當作是歌名的曲子真的很多,在2003年美國饒舌歌手Baby Bash就和墨西哥裔美籍歌手

Francisco Javier Bautista, Jr.合作發行一首名為Suga  Suga,走的路線就是抒情式嘻哈風路線,其實

還蠻好聽的,而最新的sugar歌曲應該就是今年七月由德國電音DJ Robin Schulz和加拿大歌手

Francesco Yates一起合作 .


Baby Bash



Suga Suga 

歌詞:
So tight, so fly
You got me lifted, you got me lifted

You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it's the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Suga how you get so fly?

Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?

You know its leather when we ride wood grain and raw hide
Doing what we do, watching screens getting high
Gurl you keep it so fly with you sweet hunnybuns
You was there when the money was gone
You'll be there when the money comes

Off top I can't lie I love to get blowed
You my lil'sugar, I'm yo little chulo
And every time we kick it it's off to the groovy
Treat you like my sticky ickey or my sweet ooey gooey
(Fa real though)

You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it's the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Suga how you get so fly?

Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?

Now I ain't worried about a thang 'cause I just hit me a lick
I got a fat sack and a super fly chick and uh uh
There ain't nothing you can say to a playa
'Cause doowop, she fly like the planes in the air

That's right she's full grown settin' the wrong tone
I'm diggin' the energy and I'm lovin' her ozone
So fly like a dove, fly like a raven
Quick to politic with some fly conversation

In a natural mood then I'm a natural dude
And we some natural fools blowin' out by the pool
She like my sexy-cool mama with blades on her berate
Rockin' Dolce Gabbana with hydro in the Cabana

You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it's the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Suga how you get so fly?

Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?

You know its leather when we ride, wood grain and raw hide
Doing what we do, watching twins getting high
Gurl you keep it so fly with you sweet hunnybuns
You was there when the money was gone
You'll be there when the money comes

You know its leather when we ride, wood grain and raw hide
Doing what we do, watching twins getting high
Gurl you keep it so fly with you sweet hunnybuns
You was there when the money was gone
You'll be there when the money comes
(Fa real though)

You got me lifted shifted higher than a ceiling
And ooh wee it's the ultimate feeling
You got me lifted feeling so gifted
Sugar how you get so fly?

Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?
Suga suga how you get so fly?

So high like I'm a star
So high like I'm a star
So high like I'm a star
So high like I'm a star






Robin Schulz



Francesco Yates




Sugar by Robin Schulz

歌詞:
She got cherry lips Angel eyes She knows exactly how to tantalize She's out to get you, danger by design Cold blooded vixen, she don't compromise She's something mystical in colored lights So far from typical, but take my advice Before you play with fire, do think twice And if you get burned, don't be surprised Got me lifted drifted higher than the ceiling Ooh baby it's the ultimate feeling You got me lifted feeling so gifted Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly Sugar, Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly Sweet talking lady Love how you in tight Sugar we're just a rider, man spies Sean Penn a little bit ethic, one's desire She's out to get you, you can't run, you can't hide She's something mystical in colored lights So far from typical, but take my advice Before you play with fire, do think twice And if you get burned ooh baby, don't be surprised Got me lifted drifted higher than the ceiling Ooh baby it's the ultimate feeling You got me lifted feeling so gifted Sugar how you get so fly So fly Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly Sugar, Sugar how you get so fly But you won't get me tonight Got me lifted drifted higher than the ceiling Ooh baby it's the ultimate feeling You got me lifted feeling so gifted Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly Sugar, Sugar how you get so fly Sugar how you get so fly


Anyway,不論是魔力紅的sugar ,the archie的sugar sugar,Baby Bash的suga suga 還是Robin Schulz

的sugar,雖然都是sugar但曲風隨著歌手們特色所展現出來給聽眾相當不同的感受,但是有一點

相當確定的是sugar歌曲在西洋流行音樂史上不只受歡迎還占了一席相當重要的地位,JUST 

GIVE ME MORE SUGAR SUGAR絕對是聽眾們的共同心聲 .

路燈咖啡師大分店用餐感想:一個餐點,飲料,鬆餅的好去處



                                                                            (自行拍攝的圖)


         那是一個令人愜意的夏夜,在吃過韓式料理後,我和幾位朋友散步在寧靜的巷弄中,涼風徐

         來我們一邊回憶往事,一邊散步,當我們想要停下來找個地方坐下來休息,喝個飲料,談天時,        
       
         剛好看到這家位於大安區浦城街4號的路燈咖啡店,我必須說在黑夜裡,它還真點像巨型的          
       
          路燈呢!

                                                                                             (官網的圖)


           當我們一走進這家咖啡店時,便立刻被他們的裝潢所吸引,如你在這張官網上的照片所見,

           牆壁上掛著這種以鐵條所設計成的燈飾,連椅子也是,我們三人選了一張在一面在以植物            
         
           葉所布置的牆旁的大桌子,在我們的前方便是吧檯,沒錯!當你在等待飲料時,你其實可以            
         
            當場看著服務生親自幫你做你點的飲料,當我們坐定差不多半分鐘左右,服務生就遞上菜      
           

           單了,路燈其實相當平價,主要分為簡餐,飲料,鬆餅三大類,而簡餐的部分又可在分為好 幾            

           種的莎拉,比薩,三明治,貝果.



                                                                                            (官網的圖)


                    因為我們想要的是餐後甜點,所以一開始就往鬆餅區看起,我們點了經典原味的鬆餅

                     (照片就是篇部落格文章的第一篇),白色的瓷盤上有四塊鬆餅,旁邊則是堆高的奶油

                     並淋上巧克力醬,外加一小罐的蜂蜜(!!!超可愛的!!!)和butter,隨消費者的喜好而酌量

                      加入,雖然我不是甚麼美食家(撥瀏海中),但是我覺得他們家的鬆餅很ok就是了!當

                      咬 下第一口時,給我的感覺就是外硬內軟!(是好吃的那種外硬內軟),真的是很適合                        
                     
                     搭配飲料的餐後甜點.


       
   
                                                                                      (自行拍攝)


                            說到飲料的部分,也相當多元,大致可分為冰沙,咖啡,果汁,茶,一共大二三十種的

                            樣子,我點的是熱可可,真的很滿意!!當服務生一端上來,這個白色陶瓷杯的手把                            
                           外型立刻吸引了我,他們家的熱可可蠻濃稠的,上面又撒了一層深色的巧克力粉

                            還有搭上小顆粒的棉花糖,喝起來不會太甜又有豐富的多層次感.


(自行拍攝)


接下來是我朋友點的菩提子花草茶,他們家的茶有分茶包和泡茶葉,當你在點茶飲時,可以問他們


說該種口味是以茶包還是直接沖泡茶葉的方式所呈現在進行點選,像是菩提子花草茶則是一個


類似set的樣子,很貼心的設計,因為點的是熱茶,可以自己斟酌倒取的量,或是分給同行的友人還


有一小杯的蜂蜜.

                                                                               (自行拍攝)


                            再來是oreo冰沙,真的很大一杯,除了一小塊oreo在上面外,吃起來則是冰淇淋夾    

                           雜著沙沙的oreo餅乾的感覺,路燈咖啡店給我的感覺是一個令人感覺明亮溫馨的


                          簡餐咖啡店,非常適合與朋友一邊聊八卦一邊吃早午餐 ,下午茶或晚餐的好去處,

                       
                           每份餐點的價錢大概在200內左右的樣子,不過他們吃起來的口感及擺盤在網路


                           上都獲的良好評價,我們那天晚上去的時候,也看到店內的座位幾乎快滿了,我覺


                            得唯一美中不足的地方就是他們家的椅子吧!記得我之前說過他們店內的椅子


                           也是以鐵製的線條所構成的嗎?很好看但坐在上面給人的感覺有點硬>< ,當天


                          的冷氣開超強,所以讓穿短褲的我覺得大腿那裡相當冰冷,除此之外,都相當良好!
