映画の力でQueenの人気が再燃していますが、やっぱりQueenは名曲ばかりです。私は昔、バンドを組んでいたので洋楽をよく聞いていましたが、その中でも、Queenもよく聞きました。
ということで、色々と曲を知っているのですが、その中でも特に可愛らしい曲を紹介したいと思います。Queenで可愛い？と思う方もいるかもしれませんが、実はあるのです。
その曲が「good old fashioned lover boy」です。聞いたことがない方もいると思いますので、こちらがyoutubeで聞ける動画です。
おそらくベスト盤にも入っていないと思いますが、個人的にはベスト盤に入る曲だと思っています。
続いて歌詞です。
I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you
Ooh love ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy
Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster)
Ooh ooh can you feel my love heat, ooh
Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after-all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word, your wish is my command
Ooh love ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Write my letter
Feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone
When I'm not with you
I think of you always
(I miss those long hot summer nights) I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always
Love you, love you
Hey boy where do you get it from
Hey boy where did you go?
I learned my passion in the good old fashioned school of loverboys
Dining at the Ritz, we'll meet at nine precisely
(One two three four five six seven eight nine o' clock)
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine (come on and get it)
Ooh love, (there he goes again just like a good old-fashioned lover boy)
Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy
歌詞もかわいいですね。何度聴いても飽きないのはやっぱりクイーンのすごさだと思います。歴史に残る名バンドですね。
