馬上跳tone到輕快無比的《倫敦最難吃的派》是這張OST首次讓人有興奮愉悅之處，配合Helena Bonham Carter豐腴逗趣的肢體語言(特別是那個極致地獄新娘make-up)，絕對把先前的陰鬱氛圍沖得一乾二淨！

 

這種自言自語的問候乘著超絕的word choice (ex. vague & plague, inhale & ale, polite & bite, weird & disappeared, sick & quick)，幾乎不需要對手有啥明顯的表情起伏、就能造成畫面的突梯樂趣！本來自1979年開始上演的Sweeney Todd舞台劇，男女主角都是由五、六十歲演員擔任，但此次都是40-something的Helena (42了！)& Johnny (45囉，老天！)的全新演繹光從前兩首個人solo (好吧，第二首不算)就有既沉穩又性感的表現，讓人讚嘆！

嵌上畫面之後，你更會為兩位演員的天賦讚賞不已。Mrs. Lovette渾然天成的嗓音拎著這首自嘲味十足的快板，搭上面無表情一心向佛… 啊不是！一心復仇的Todd，簡直是絕配！也許來自NGC 205 星系團的導演Tim Burton (剛滿50歲！)和最佳搭檔Johnny Depp這次不只更豐富了舞台劇與電影藝術的結合，還把老婆Helena給拉了進來一起創作，這可不是小小的愛(Lovette)而已吧！

 

Wait! What's your rush?
What's your hurry?
You gave me such a ---
Fright! I thought you was a ghost.
Half a minute, can'tcher?
Sit!

Sit ya down!
Sit!
All I meant is that I

Haven't seen a customer for weeks.
Did you come in for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague ---
What is that?
But you'd think we had the plague ---
From the way that people ---
Keep avoiding ---
No you don't!
Heaven knows I try, sir!
But there's no one comes in even to inhale ---
Right you are you are, sir,. Would you like

a drop of ale?

Mind you, I can't hardly blame them ---
These are probably the worst pies in London.
I know why nobody cares to take them ---
I should know!
I make them.
But good? No,
The worst pies in London ---
Even that's polite.

The worst pies in London ---
If you doubt it, take a bite.

Sweeney Todd

Ugh!

Mrs. Lovett

Is that just disgusting?
You have to concede it.
It's nothing but crusting ---
Here, drink this, you'll need it ---
The worst pies in London.

And no wonder with the price of

Meat what it is ---
When you get it.
Never

Though I'd live to see the day men'd

think it was a treat
Finding poor
Animals
Wot are dying in the street.

Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop,
Does a business, but I notice something weird ---
Lately all her neighbors' cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her ---
Wot I calls,
Enterprise,
Popping pussies into pies.
Wouldn't do in my shop ---
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick,
And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick.

No denying times is hard, sir!
Even harder than

The worst pies in London.
Only lard and nothing more ---
Is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty,
It looks like it's molting,
And tastes like ---

Well, pity
A woman alone

With limited wind
And the worst pies in London!

Ah, sir
Times is hard. Times is hard.

Mrs. Lovette出場第一句就是到抽一口涼氣、爽歪了的感覺！(她是從何時知道這位進門的顧客就是Benjamin Barker呢？) 自始至終她都是這樣地歇斯底里…，要能有這種人來瘋特質，應該就能唱好這個角色 (and I firmly believe that most female English teachers from elementary schools have THAT kinda QUALITY… ha~ ) 樂評說Helena幾乎是本劇唱得最棒的一員，甚至比等會兒才陸續出現的真正科班出身配角 (ex. 演女乞丐的Laura Michelle Kelly和飾Johanna的Jayne Wisener)還棒！那音色呢？女低音(contralto)耶！我怎麼覺得她的音高也很恐怖？So… Any volunteers?

                                               想唱得好胸腔果真要夠厚!)
