Rick Springfield-Jessie’s Girl

你還記得Rick Springfield的暢銷曲“Jessie’s Girl”嗎 ?

  Rick在一次訪問時說，雖然他寫了這首歌，但他沒有在錄歌時彈吉它部分，製作人Keith Olsen喜歡這首歌，可是從來沒喜歡過Springfield的吉他彈奏，他覺得這首歌太棒了，不能讓它被不及格的吉它搞砸，他堅持用Pat Benetar的吉它手Neil Geraldo，Olsen認為他能抓住這首歌的感覺，當時Rick很堅持擔任吉它伴奏，他在錄音室承諾Neil 可以在演唱會唱多少次都可以。

  沒有用Geraldo的結果如何 ? Rick Springfield自彈自唱的 “Jessie’s Girl”成了一首非常受歡迎的冠軍曲。1981年三月底推出後獲得連續二週排行榜冠軍。  

  專業錄音室中的樂手因他們的技術超群，有時會被徵招，但不見得抓得住製作人所需要的感覺。

  Rick Springfield 1949年出生於澳洲雪梨，影歌雙棲，“Jessie’s Girl”是他在排行榜上成績最好的歌。

Jessie’s Girl

 

lyrics：Richard Springthorpe

Jessie is a friend
Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had

Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

I'll play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had

Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman-
Where can I find a woman like that?

And I'm looking in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?

You know, I wish that I had

Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl
