(Winehouse的現場唱得好棒,真有臨場感!)
外子和我這兩天至少聽五十遍英國女歌手Amy Winehouse自創自唱帶點R&B的靈魂歌曲Rehab (rehabilitation的縮寫,在此為,到戒毒中心戒毒),這支在Youtube上被擊點超過一億六千萬次Rehab的 MV是她在零六年十月發行的Back to Black(回到黑,有人翻成重回黑色懷抱)中的一首英國排行榜冠軍歌曲。很久沒為流行歌曲感到這麼興奮無比了,我的興奮比注意流行音樂動態的人要慢好幾百拍,要不是因為今年二月份第五十屆葛萊美獎Grammy Award頒給Amy Winehouse五項大獎(年度最佳唱片、年度最佳歌曲Rehab、最佳新人、年度最佳流行專輯、年度最佳流行女歌手), 我這退流行的歐巴桑大概無福聽到這二十四歲女孩的靈魂樂聲。
因為Amy Winehouse吸crack(類似古柯鹼的毒品)的影片被放在Youtub上之後(不知道會不會有人蓄意醜化她),這個吸毒瘦到不成人形的Grammy得主變成家喻戶曉的話題人物,英國衛道人士怕她帶動青少年粉絲一起吸毒(神經病,不用明星帶頭,英美青少年從八零年代起早已經吸得亂七八糟了,怎麼不說Amy Winehouse是英美販毒企業的犧牲品?),吸過毒卻沒什麼才華的R& B歌手Natalie Cole (Nat King Cole的女兒)卻充滿妒嫉心、酸葡萄地抨擊Amy Winehouse不夠資格得五項Grammy大獎。第一、沒有Grammy Award的肯定,Amy Winehouse還是會照樣發光發熱好不好!第二、就像在晨間婦女節目The View中的猶太裔Joy Behar說的,Grammy 又不是在教堂頒獎,每個得獎人都要通過身心健康道德檢驗嗎?真受夠了,那些不懂得尊重音樂創作的糾察隊員們,吸不吸毒是她的私事!像The Doors的主唱Jimmy Morrison1971年於巴黎寓所吸毒過量死亡,難道我們就罷聽The Doors的歌曲嗎?
跟絕大多數的人一樣,剛開始以為Amy Winehouse是個黑人,Winehouse這樣 的姓,很像解放黑奴以後,黑人不願從白人的姓然後自己用字意取的,很少白人的姓有意義含蓋其中,不過,這樣的推測被外子取笑了,有那一個剛被解放的黑人會把姓改成Winehouse酒庄這麼中產階級的啦!?結果發現Winehouse是猶太人改的姓,因為二戰期間納粹屠殺猶太人,有些逃出來的猶太人不得已改姓來躲避殺害。拜Youtube之賜,我才可以看到Amy Winehouse的樣子(從不看Grammy Award、又沒裝有線電視),有點失望,是個白人,還好是長像裝扮都很特異獨行的怪胎型白人(手臂上都是花花綠綠的刺青),只要不是長像 Britney Spears 那完全沒才華又沒歌喉的新聞炒作女王都好。Rehab這首歌真是Amy Winehouse的親身血肉經驗,有個也是吸毒成癮的丈夫,不願受社會道德觀箝制,拒絕到戒毒所,寧願和老公在家廝混 ,唱到每一個不被社會接受年輕孤獨的心骨裏。希望Amy Winehouse年長之後還能記得自己年少時的心情及經歷,不要反用過來人的姿態訓小孩;也不要年紀輕輕地就用毒過量死掉,全世界憶好幾億雙耳朵等著聽第三張、第四張...第五十張專輯。
不小心發現這個改造版的Rehab,猜想那位嘻哈創作人Pharoahe Monch可能沒得到Amy Winehouse的同意便擅自mix他的饒舌版,還是忍不住要貼過來讓大家讀一下他混進去的歌詞(嘲諷一些沒大腦的美國白人女星們,超爽的)。我聽到都會背了,哈哈哈...
[Amy Winehouse:]
They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been black, but when I come back
you won't know, know, know.
I ain’t got the time
and if my daddy thinks i'm fine
He’s tried to make me go to rehab
I won’t go, go, go.
[Pharoahe Monch:]
Pharoahe Monch, let's go, get it, oh no no no no no I can’t go go go to rehab you’d just be mad, drunk in the lobby Pharoahe my just hurl place me with these snobby white girls.

[Amy Winehouse:]
I ain't got the time,
And if my Daddy thinks I'm fine,
He’s tried to make me go to rehab,
[Rehab (pharoahe Monch Remix) lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
I won’t go, go, go.
The man said, why you think you here?
I said, I got no idea
Im gonna, im gonna loose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near
He Said, I just think you’re depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby
And go rest
I’m tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You won’t know, know, know
I don’t ever wanna drink again
I just, ooo, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend 10 weeks
Have everyone think i'm on the mend
It’s not just my pride
It’s just til these tears have dried
They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back,
You won’t know, know, know
I ain't got the time,
And if my daddy thinks i'm fine
He’s trying to make me go to rehab
I won’t go, go, go.
