Aerosmith -I Don't Want To Miss A Thing

在28首推出當週即獲得排行榜冠軍的歌裡，有一首 Aerosmith所唱的

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"，這一首歌於1998年9月5日推出，是Bruce Willis 布魯斯·威利主演的電影Armageddon《世界末日》的插曲。

《世界末日》是一部1998年科幻災難片，該片由 Michael Bay麥可貝執導，片名Armageddon來自聖經啟示錄。該片講述了美國國家航空暨太空總署派遣鑽油工人在撞擊地球的小行星上鑽井，並炸毀該小行星的故事。

Aerosmith是來自波士頓的搖滾樂團，在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得第85名，另一個來自波士頓且以波士頓為名的搖滾樂團Boston，則獲得第488名。

Aerosmith主唱是Steven Tyler，他的女兒Liv Tyler是知名的模特兒及演員，在《世界末日》片中飾演布魯斯·威利的女兒Grace，相信大家印象都很深刻。

Aerosmith暢銷曲不少，1976年以加長版的Dream On獲得第6名（此曲1973年初次推出只得過59名）才開始走紅，Dream On後來在滾石500大歌曲榜還得到第172名，但Aerosmith一直沒有歌得過排行榜冠軍，直到1998年推出的電影插曲"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"才替他們得到四週冠軍，且是於推出當週即獲得排行榜冠軍，電影的受歡迎當然是主要原因，但"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"確實是一首動聽的Rock Ballad。

I Don't Want To Miss A Thing

Aerosmith

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

I don't want to miss a thing 

CW McCall-Convoy

1975年底CW McCall所唱的Convoy是一首novelty song「瞎掰歌曲｣。

這種歌通常套用當時發生的新聞事件，或者與節日、電視上爆紅的話題...相結合，有時候有一點搞笑的內容，但並非絕對，很多歌用搞怪的歌詞、主題、聲音或者樂器演奏來凸顯，甚至很少用音樂。

在十九世紀末流行音樂開拓期的Tin Pan Alley時代，novelty song與ballads 「歌謠｣及 dance music「舞曲｣是流行音樂的三大支柱。

CW McCall 本名 William Fries，1928年出生於愛阿華州Audubon，1980年代早期曾經競選過科羅拉多州Quray市的市長，CW McCall是替一個麵包公司廣告所構思出的名字，Fries當時是廣告代言人。

1973年石油危機發生後，美國有一個55公里限速規定影響了開車族，尤其影響大卡車的司機老大，他們利用可以短波對講的CB radio電台（類似火腿族）相互聯絡，給這個規定產生了很大的衝擊，也給1970年代中後期風行一時的CB radio所帶來的影響，留下了歷史的印記， CW McCall所唱的Convoy歌詞內容也即是源自這一事件。

1978年由Sam Peckinpah執導， Kris Kristofferson（星夢淚痕） 及Ali MacGraw（愛的故事）二位巨星主演同名的電影Convoy與暢銷曲二者並無直接關係，但劇情發想自 Convoy，也用之當插曲。

Convoy於1975年底推出後五週就獲得熱門排行榜冠軍，而在鄉村歌曲排行榜則獲得六週冠軍，在滾石雜誌所做的歷年100首最受歡迎的鄉村歌曲榜當中，Convoy也獲得第98名。

月初我介紹的The Chipmunks 1958年的The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)及1960年Brian Hyland 的Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini、1974年Ray Stevens 的The Streak、1976年Rick Dees and his Cast Of Idiots 的Disco Duck...，都在排行榜上獲得過冠軍、是novelty song「瞎掰歌曲｣的佼佼者。

LEGEND:

       (sung by background singers)

Pigpen? C'mon.>

Flagtown. C'mon.>

good buddy.  Mercy's sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy>

It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June

And a Kenworth pullin' logs

Cab-over Pete with a reefer on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We's headin' for bear on Eye-one-oh

'bout a mile outta Shakeytown

I says "Pigpen, this here's Rubber Duck"

"And I'm about to put the hammer down"

('cause we got a little ole convoy rockin' thru the night)

(Yeah, we got a little ole convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?)

(Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way)

(We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA)

(Convoy)

By the time we got into Tulsa-town we had 85 trucks in all

But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf

And them bears 's wall-to-wall

Yeah, them smokeys 's thick as bugs on a bumper

They even had a bear in the air

I says "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck"

"We about to go a-huntin' bear"

('cause we got a great big convoy rockin' thru the night)

(Yeah, we got a great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?)

(Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way)

(We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA)

(Convoy)

too close. Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses.  Mercy's sake, you

better back off another ten>

Well, we rolled up Interstate Forty-Four

Like a rocket-sled on rails

We tore up all of our swindle sheets

And left 'em settin' on the scales

By the time we hit that "Chi-town"

Them bears was a-gettin smart

They brought up some reinforcements

>From the "Illinoise" National Guard

There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps

'n' rigs of ev'ry size

Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears

And choppers filled the skies

Well, we shot the line, we went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus

In a chartreuse microbus

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore

Prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn't have a doggone dime

I says "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck"

"We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"

So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight

I says "let them truckers roll, ten-four"

('cause we got a mighty convoy rockin' thru the night)

(Yeah, we got a mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?)

(Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way)

(We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA)

(Convoy)

what to do with them hogs out there, for sure.  Well, mercy's sakes, good buddy,

we gonna back on outta here, so keep your thumbs off your glass and the bears

off yourЕЕ..tail.  We'll catch you on the flip-flop.  This here's the Rubber Duck on

the side. We gone.  'bye, 'bye>

1995年9月2日 Michael Jackson 的"You Are Not Alone"創下Billboard 雜誌Hot 100排行榜的新紀錄，這一首歌推出當週就獲得了排行榜的冠軍。

You Are Not Alone

Michael Jackson

Album: HIStory

Another day has gone, I'm still all alone

How could this be? You're not here with me

You never said good-bye, someone tell me why

Did you have to go, and leave my world so cold?

1-Everyday I sit and ask myself

  How did love slip away?

  Something whispers in my ear and says

2-That you are not alone

  I am here with you

  Though you're far away

  I am here to stay

3-You are not alone

  I am here with you

  Though we're far apart

  You're always in my heart

  You are not alone

All alone, why, oh...

Just the other night, I thought I heard you cry

Asking me to come, and hold you in my arms

I can hear your prayers, your burdens I will bear

But first I need your hand, then forever can begin

(rpt 1, 2, 3)

Oh...whisper three words and I'll come runnin'

Fly...and girl you know that I'll be there

I'll be there

(rpt 2, 3, 2, 3)

Not alone

You are not alone, you are not alone...

You just reach for me baby

In the morning in the evening

You're not alone, not alone

You and me, not alone, oh, together, together...

The Chipmunks- The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)

聖誕節快到了，你一定不能忘了"The Chipmunk Song" (Christmas Don't Be Late)這一首聖誕歌。

"The Chipmunk Song" 是1958年的一首四週冠軍曲，歌曲中的Alvin、Simon、Theodore是當年Liberty唱片公司的企劃人員的名字，這一首有趣的歌自1959-1964年每年重新發行，直到2008年還又發行一次，可見其受歡迎程度。

Alvin and the Chipmunks原來叫 David Seville and the Chipmunks 或更簡單的叫 The Chipmunks， 這是一個卡通形象合唱團，1958年由Ross Bagdasarian Sr.為錄唱片而創的虛擬合唱團。

David "Dave" Seville也是一個虛擬的角色，"他"是這個虛擬的合唱團Alvin and the Chipmunks的製作人與經紀人，這一個角色也是由Ross Bagdasarian Sr.所創，他曾經在the Chipmunks出現之前用過"David Seville"這個名字，1950年代的時候他錄過一些新鮮類似廣播劇的唱片，其中之一"Witch Doctor"劇中男主角就叫David Seville，他被塑造成一個講話音調很高速度很快的人物，後來Bagdasarian 在 "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)歌中就用了這個人物，這一首歌向大眾介紹了Alvin and the Chipmunks合唱團與製作人"Dave"， Bagdasarian 接著根據the Alvin and the Chipmunks 合唱團的概念又推出了The Alvin Show，其中就有虛擬的角色David Seville。

Bagdasarian Sr. 1972年去世，他兒子Ross Bagdasarian Jr.繼承了Bagdasarian Productions這個製作公司，他將David Seville這個虛擬角色復活，1980年代先推出專輯唱片Chipmunk Punk，接著有系列電視節目Alvin and the Chipmunks，這節目1983–1990年先後播了七年，從1972年繼承父業後他就一直擔任David Seville的配音。除了電視劇集、卡通特別節目、錄影光碟製作之外，2015年他還重新推出the Alvin and the Chipmunks電視節目。

演員Jason Lee曾在一系列介紹Alvin and the Chipmunks電影當中扮演David Seville ，這些電影混和真人演出與穿插的卡通鏡頭，但沒有Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.的配音。

"The Chipmunk Song" 除了於1958年獲得四週冠軍之外，在當年還得到Grammy最佳兒童唱片與最佳喜劇唱片獎。
