Creedence Clearwater Revival-Hello Mary Lou

  《Mardi Gras》「狂歡節」是Creedence Clearwater Revival合唱團於1972年4月11日發行的第七張也是最後一張錄音室專輯。這是該團在吉它手Tom Fogerty離開後錄製的唯一錄音室專輯，收錄了Tom之外該團其餘成員的創作，演唱和製作的歌曲。其中有 "Sweet Hitch-Hiker"(#6)、"Someday Never Comes"(#25)及"Hello Mary Lou"三首較受歡迎的歌。

     歌迷們認為這張專輯是CCR這個一線合唱團最爛的專輯，還替它取了一個渾名 "Fogerty's Revenge" 「 Fogerty 的復仇」，在這張專輯中John Fogerty收錄了別的合唱團團員所寫的、唱過的歌。如Gene Pitney所寫Ricky Nelson唱紅的"Hello Mary Lou"(1961年曾獲得第9名) ，歌迷們大概無法接受他們翻唱別人的招牌歌又沒有自己的特色吧。

      Creedence Clearwater Revival成立於加州，主要團員是主唱John Fogerty、吉它手Tom Fogerty、貝斯及鍵琴手Stu Cook、鼓手Doug Clifford 。他們在推出這張專輯後解散。

Ricky Nelson是歷年第24名的影歌雙棲巨星，是teen idols「青春偶像歌手」時期的代表性人物。

CCR版沒有發行單曲，無排行榜名次可比較

 

Hello Mary Lou

Lyrics：Cayet Mangiaracina / Gene Pitney

 

Hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou

I'm so in love with you

I knew Mary Lou

We'd never part

So hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

You passed me by one sunny day

Flashed those big brown eyes my way

And ooh I wanted you forever more

Now I'm not one that gets around

I swear my feet stuck to the ground

And though I never did meet you before

I said "Hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou

I'm so in love with you"

I knew Mary Lou

We'd never part

So hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

I saw your lips I heard your voice

Believe me I just had no choice

Wild horses couldn't make me stay away

I thought about a moonlit night

Arms around you, good and tight

All I had to see for me to say

"Hey hey hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou

I'm so in love with you"

I knew Mary Lou

We'd never part

So, hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

So, hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart

Yes, hello Mary Lou

Goodbye heart
