回味Dolly Parton的電影金曲

一大堆流行歌曲曾經被樂評界輕忽或是給予不佳的評價,但有時候卻有脫穎而出得到冠軍的例子。
Dolly Parton 1978年的冠軍曲"Heartbreaker"就是其中的一個例子,但那還不是當年她碰到的唯一糟糕的例子, Dolly Parton 還名列Blackwell雜誌1978年最糟穿著的名人榜冠軍。

儘管負面的評價接連而來,但與"Heartbreaker"同名專輯選卻在推出不到一個月就成了她第三張金唱片專輯。

Dolly PartonRCA Victor公司發行的單曲"Heartbreaker"在鄉村歌曲排行榜剛推出就得到38名,五週後就得到排行榜冠軍。

"Heartbreaker"David Wolfort Carole Bayer Sager作曲,Gary Klein Dolly Parton本人擔任製作人。

Dolly Parton 1946年出生於田納西州的Locust Ridge,是著名的鄉村歌星與演員,1967-2008年她一共有111首歌進鄉村歌曲排行榜,Dolly在流行歌唱界亦很受歡迎,歷年暢銷歌星排行榜她獲得第251名。

1980Dolly Parton 曾與珍芳達一同演出電影9 to 5「九點到五點」,並演唱同名主題曲,此曲在當年11月底並獲得二週排行榜冠軍。

 


 

9 To 5

Dolly Parton

Songwriters: PALMER, FLORRIE

 

Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin, stretchin, try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin
And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Chorus:

Workin 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
Its all takin
And no givin
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that i
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss wont seem to let me in
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...

They let your dream
Just a watch em shatter
Youre
just a step
On the boss mans a ladder
But you got dream hell never take away

On the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin for the day
Your shipll come in
And the tides gonna turn
An it's all gonna roll you away

2nd chorus:

Workin 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
Its all takin
And no givin
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think that I would daunt you
Its a rich mans game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin money in his wollet

3rd chorus:

Workin 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
Its all takin
And no givin
They just use you mind
And they never give you credit
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Fade:

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream that I would daunt you
Its a rich mans game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin money in his wollet
