美國創作才女歌手[瑞琪.李.瓊斯]成名曲──搖滾/R&B/爵士──[Chuck E.s in Love/查克E.戀愛了]

 

How come he dont come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
And how come he turn off the TV?
And he hang that sign on the door?

We call and we call
"How come?" we say
Hey, what could make a boy behave this way?

So he has learnt all of the lines now
And every time, he dont stutter when he talks
Its true! Its true!
He sure has acquired this kinda cool
And inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Wheres his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Well, this aint healthy, it is some kinda clean

That means
Chuck E.s in love
Chuck E.s in love
Chuck E.s in love
Chuck E.s in love

I dont believe what youre saying to me
This is something that Ive got to see

Is he here?
I look in the poolhall
Well, is he here?
I look in the drugstore
Is he here?
No, he dont come here no more

Ill tell you what, I saw him
He was sitting behind us down in the pantages
And whatever it is that hes got up his sleeve
Well, I hope it isnt contagious

Whats her name?
Is that her there?
Oh, Christ, I think hes even combed his hair
Is that her?
Well, then whats her name?
Oh, its never gonna be the same

But thats not her
I know whats wrong
Cause Chuck E.s in love
With the little girl singin this song
Dont you know?

Chuck E.s in love, yeah yeah
Chuck E.s in love
Chuck E.s in love, my my
Chuck E.s in
Chuck E.s in love
Chuck E.s in love
Hes in love
Love with me

 

 

1954年11月生於伊利諾州芝加哥的瑞琪.李.瓊斯(Rickie Lee Jones)是美國創作歌手,以融合搖滾,流行,R&B,靈魂與爵士的曲風聞名.

1979年2月底,24歲的瑞琪在華納兄弟唱片(Warner Records)旗下推出首張同名大碟[Rickie Lee Jones

Lenny WaronkerRuss Titelman製作,樂評出色.

首支單曲是[Chuck E.s in Love/查克E.戀愛了]在1979年4月推出.

由瓊斯創作,

靈感來源是瓊斯和她的情人兼作曲家湯姆·威茨(Tom Waits)花了很多時間與朋友查克·E·韋斯 (Chuck E. Weiss) 在洛杉磯破舊的 Tropicana 汽車旅館閒聊。

最後,被暱稱為“Chuck E.”的韋斯消失了。後來韋斯給瓊斯和韋茨住的公寓打了電話。

當威茨接到電話時,韋斯解釋說他在丹佛,他搬到那裡是因為他愛上了那裡的一個表妹。

當威茨掛斷電話時,他向瓊斯宣布,「查克·E.戀愛了」。

瓊斯喜歡這句話的發音,並圍繞它寫了一首歌。

儘管在[Chuck E.s in Love]的結尾,歌詞寫到“Chuck E. 愛上唱這首歌的小女孩”,但結局是虛構的;瓊斯從來都不是查克E. 所愛的女孩。

Lenny WaronkerRuss Titelman製作成一首融合軟式搖滾,R&B與爵士的歌曲.

在緩慢但有跳躍感的節奏間,瑞琪以輕鬆隨興的唱腔演繹,受到好評.

 

Chuck E.s in Love]登上美國告示牌單曲榜#4(1979年度#63),讓瓊斯一舉成名.

另拿到副榜──成人當代榜#20

Cashbox雜誌單曲榜#4(1979年度#24

英國#18 加拿大#5(1979年度#64) 紐西蘭#5 

澳洲#15(1979年度#132) 愛爾蘭#19

這是瓊斯事業最成功單曲.

英國#18──銀唱片(6萬張+)

澳洲冠軍──2白金唱片(14萬張+)(1979年度#9
