Space Oddity

Lyrics:David Bowie

Ground control to Major Tom

Ground control to Major Tom

Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on.

Ground control to Major Tom

Commencing countdown engines on

Detach from station and may God's love be with you

This is ground control to Major Tom

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control

I've left forevermore

And I'm floating in most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do

Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And before too long I know it's time to go

Our commander comes down back to earth, and knows

Ground control to Major Tom

The time is near, there's not too long

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you

Here am I floating in my tin can

A last glimpse of the world

The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do

"Crazy"
(originally by Willie Nelson)

Crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue

I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You'd leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?

Oh, crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Tina Turner這一首電影插曲於1985年七月獲得過第2名

What's Love Got to Do with It

lyrics：Terry Britten / Graham Hamilton

You must understand how the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meetin' girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

Oh oh
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

Oh oh
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Huh

I've been takin' on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinkin' about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

Ho oh
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

Got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

Got to do
Huh, got to do with it
(What's love but a second hand emotion?)
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love?
(Ooh, ooh)
Got to do it
Got to do it
What's love?
(But a second hand emotion?)

Got to do
Huh, got to do with it
(What's love but a second hand emotion?)
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken...

Troggs -Wild Thing

    Troggs 的“Wild Thing” 是 Bobby Kennedy and Senator Everett Dirksen共同撰寫的，The Troggs 並未因寫此歌曲而且出名，他們因唱得好而成名。

    1966年英國合唱團The Troggs 翻唱“Wild Thing”， 在英美二地都獲得排行榜冠軍。有音樂界人士懷疑這個英國搖滾樂團盜用了原作者的版本，說真的，他們沒有，因為做翻唱版本不是偷竊。

    The Troggs來自英格蘭Andover，他們唱的“Wild Thing” 這首歌在滾石雜誌歷年500首最佳歌曲排行榜獲得第261名，也進入Grammy獎搖滾樂名人堂。

  當年有一位作曲人 Chip Taylor 於1965年試錄這首三和弦巨作時，說真的他並不認真，可是後來 The Troggs參照他的版本將這首歌唱成酒店最叫座歌曲時，情況不一樣了，傳奇藍調迷幻搖滾樂手吉他Jimi Hendrix在歷史性的Monterery Pop演唱會時。都用他獨有的吉他演奏，去唱這首歌。

很多電影用過這首歌當插曲，也許你聽過不知道名子吧

Wild Thing

lyrics :The Troggs

Wild thing...you make my heart sing...

You make everything

Groovy

I said wild thing...

Wild thing, I think I love you

But I wanna know for sure

Come on, hold me tight

I love you

Wild thing...you make my heart sing...

You make everything

Groovy

I said wild thing...

Wild thing, I think you move me

But I wanna know for sure

So come on, hold me tight

You move me

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Lyrics: Gordon Lightfoot

 

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'

The lake it is said, never gives up her dead

When the skies of November turn gloomy

With a load of iron ore, twenty six thousand tons more

Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty

That good ship and true was a 'bone to be chewed'

When the gales of November came early

The ship was the pride of the American side

Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin

As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most

With a crew and good captain well seasoned

Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms

When they left fully loaded for Cleveland

Then later that night when the ship's bell rang

Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound

When the wave broke over the railin'

And every man knew, as the captain did too

'Twas the witch of November come stealin'

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait

When the gales of November came slashin'

When afternoon came it was freezing rain

In the face of a hurricane west wind

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck

Sayin', "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"

At 7 p.m. a main hatchway caved in

He said, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"

The captain wired in, he had water comin' in

And the good ship and crew was in peril

And later that night when his lights went out of sight

Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Does anyone know where the love of God goes

When the waves turn the minutes to hours?

The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay

If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her

They might have split up or they might have capsized

They may have broke deep and took water

And all that remains is the faces and the names

Of the wives and the sons and the daughters

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings

In the rooms of her ice-water mansion

Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams

The islands and bays are for sportsmen

And farther below, Lake Ontario

Takes in what Lake Erie can send her

And the iron boats go as the mariners all know

With the gales of November remembered

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed

In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral

The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they call, 'Gitche Gumee'

Superior, they said, never gives up her dead

When the gales of November come early
