Walk on the Wild Side (1972) – Lou Reed
She says, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side”
歌曲 Walk On The Wild Side,由歌手 Lou Reed 在1972年唱出。歌曲長達4分12秒,類型屬於 Glam Rock 華麗搖滾, 填詞作曲由 Lou Reed ,歌曲被收錄於專輯《Transformer》。
歌手 Lou Reed 為 樂隊The Velvet Underground 成員,樂隊中主要創作人,但這次單飛作品 Walk On the Wild Side 並沒令人失望,反文化運動的重要歌曲,電台廣泛播放,成為了 Lou Reed 的經典作品之一。其實在 Lou Reed 單飛作品之前,樂隊 The Velvet Underground 已經有不少衝擊及爭議性作品,例如 Heroin 及 Venus in Furs。該作品也不例外,衝擊當時社會的禁忌,例如跨性別人士、毒品、男妓及口交等話題。不少得的是歌曲被《滾石》雜誌列入500首最佳歌曲之一。
歌詞方面
填詞作曲由 Lou Reed
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side”
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody’s darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
And the colored girls go
“Doo do doo do doo do do doo…”
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City’s the place
Where they said, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey, Joe
Take a walk on the wild side”
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should’ve seen them go, go, go
They said, “Hey, sugar
Take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”, alright
Huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said, “Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side”
And the colored girls say
“Doo do doo do doo do do doo…”
