Chicago -25 or 6 to 4

  Chicago 1970年第4名的暢銷曲"25 or 6 to 4"歌名是甚麼意思?

  按照作者亦即該團創始團員   Robert Lamm 的解釋   : 此曲是在午夜寫的，歌名因當寫好這首歌時，大約在早晨4點25分到26分左右，"25 or 6 to 4"後來被錯誤地推測為對毒品數量的隱晦提及，或是一種神秘的暗示。 

  也許是一個巧合，Robert Lamm寫的另一首Chicago 的暢銷曲‘Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?’後來成了回答 "25 or 6 to 4"的歌。

  流行搖滾樂團   Chicago 來自芝加哥，主要團員主唱貝斯手   Peter Cetera、主唱吉他手Terry Kath、主唱鍵琴手Robert Lamm，1985年   Peter Cetera   離團單飛，這個團體一蹶不振，但在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜   Chicago 獲得第22名的佳績。

  Chicago 在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上名次最好的歌是1982年在Adult Contemporary抒情歌曲排行榜獲得3周排行榜冠軍的"Hard To Say I'm Sorry"。

25 or 6 to 4

 

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes

Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take

Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4
Oh yeah

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day

25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4
Alright
