英國華麗搖滾天團〔皇后/Queen〕──英國亞軍流行經典──描述廣播/電視消長的〔Radio Ga Ga〕
Words and music by roger taylor
Radio Id sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And evrything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by mars
You made em laugh - you made em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So dont become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just dont know or just dont care
And just complain when youre not there
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio whats new?
Radio someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Lets hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio whats new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour

1970年出道的皇后(Queen) 是英國華麗搖滾的代表團體
也可說是大不列顛繼披頭四(The Beatles)後最成功的樂團
主唱佛瑞迪莫克瑞(Freddy Mercury)是個雙性戀者 有著一副譬美男高音的金嗓子
也是皇后合唱團特立於樂壇的關鍵人物
1982年 皇后以Dance, Funk 走向的專輯〔Hot Space〕失利
1984年2月 他們推出以Hard Rock, Pop為主的第十張大碟〔The Works/作品〕
雖然美國表現差強人意(#23) 不過英國拿下亞軍 大賣150多萬張
其它各地的表現亦十分良好 均打入Top10
首支單曲是1月發行 由鼓手Roger Taylor所寫的〔Radio Ga-Ga〕
歌詞描寫電視興起後 逐漸蠶食了廣播電台的市場
這是首融合流行 搖滾 舞曲於一身的佳作
在中版的舞曲節奏中 佛瑞迪以他著名的金嗓子詮釋這首旋律討好的曲子
此曲登上英國亞軍 成為皇后的名曲之一
在國際地區也相當成功 拿下義大利 荷蘭 比利時 瑞典 愛爾蘭等國冠軍
西德&挪威&奧地利亞軍 澳洲&瑞士#3 南非&紐西蘭#4 西班牙#6 加拿大#11 美國#16 法國#24
是當年全球最紅的歌曲之一
我對皇后的音樂認識不多 〔Radio Ga-Ga〕算是個人較熟悉的歌曲
推薦這首流行經典給各位
