喜欢看《CSI: NY 》的朋友应该不会忘记电视剧的片头曲《Baba O'Riley》:“Out here in the fields,I farm for my meals...”。《Baba O'Riley》和这首《My Wife》都出自The WHO乐队专辑《Who's Next》。我个人更喜欢《My Wife》的专辑版,每听一次都会笑翻。可惜在youtube上只有LIVE版视频。希望你不要被The WHO的强悍表演镇住,因为这首歌实在是不够男人。看看歌词你就知道:
My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I ain't been home since Friday night
And now my wife is coming after me
Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so
I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A black belt Judo expert with a machine gun
.............

Bob Dylan:《On the Road Again》——大令, 不上路,俺毋宁死
不清楚为什么就喜欢上Bob Dylan,也不清楚为什么就不喜欢他了。无论如何,Bob Dylan的歌永远是值得书写一笔的。早期的Dylan继承了美国民谣歌手特有的幽默感,加上他古里古怪的性格,因此在《Bringing It All Back Home》专辑出现《On the Road Again》这种另类作品也就不足为奇了。这张专辑里还有一首《Bob Dylan's 115th Dream》也绝对值得推荐。
附歌词一段:
Well, I woke up in the morning
There's frogs inside my socks
Your mama, she's a-hidin'
Inside the icebox
Your daddy walks in wearin'
A Napoleon Bonaparte mask
Then you ask why I don't live here
Honey, do you have to ask?

Frank settled down in the Valley,
and he hung his wild years on a
nail that he drove through his wife's forehead.
He sold used office furniture out
there on San Fernando Road and assumed a $30,000 loan at
15 1/4 % and put a down payment on a little two bedroom place.
His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth
shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua
named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind.
They had a thoroughly modern kitchen;
self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
Frank drove a little sedan.
They were so happy.
One night Frank was on his way home
from work, stopped at the liquor store,
picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s.
Drank 'em in the car on his way to the
Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can.
Drove home, doused everything in
the house, torched it.
Parked across the street laughing,
watching it burn, all Halloween
orange and chimney red.
Frank put on a top forty station,
got on the Hollywood Freeway
headed North.
