Do You Love Dirty Laundry?

最近腦海裡總迴盪著一首歌的旋律,忍不住總是要哼唱兩句。
看著媒體上童顏巨乳造成的旋風,看著新流感造成如瘟疫臨城般的亂象,看著受虐兒或貧童在街上流浪,也看著被寵壞的爛小孩在街上大小聲...看著看著...就想到一些"智者"們說過的話寫過的文唱過的歌...想到史懷哲卡謬想歐威爾赫胥黎...想到Don Henley。

聽過Eagles這個合唱團嗎?Don Henley就是其中的成員之一。1982年,也就是距今27年之前,他發行了一張專輯I Can't Stand Still,其中有一首歌的歌名叫"Dirty Laundry",輕快的節奏,配合當年流行的電子樂器,聽不懂歌詞也會覺得這首歌好聽...不過啊,弄懂歌詞在唱什麼可就更有趣了咧...廢話少說,直接來看他歌詞寫了些什麼吧?

I make my living off the Evening News.
Just give me something - Something I can use.
People love it when you lose.
They love dirty laundry.

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here.
I just have to look good. I don't have to be clear.
Come and whisper in my ear.
Give us dirty laundry.

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubble headed Bleached blonde who comes on at five.
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash With a gleam in her eye.
It's interesting when people die.
Give us dirty laundry.

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet.
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry.

You don't really need to find out what's going on.
You don't really want to know Just how far it's gone.
Just leave well enough alone.

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets.
Dirty little lies.
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie.
We love to cut you down to size.
We love dirty laundry.

We can do “The Innuendo”.
We can dance and sing.
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing.
We all know that Crap is King.
Give us dirty laundry.

製播晚間新聞是我的職業
給我些好料-能播報的好料
人們喜歡看別人出糗
人們就愛看不可告人的醜事

我本來可以當演員,不過卻跑來播新聞
做這行外型好就行,管它品行端不端正
來我耳邊爆料吧
來點不可告人的醜事吧

往那走也要追
往這走也要追
往那走也要追
往這走也要追

往那走也要追
往這走也要追
往那走也要追
給他追到底

一個腦袋空空漂染一頭金髮的美眉五點登場
她可以眼神發亮的敘說墜機事件的來龍去脈
有人死才有搞頭
來點不可告人的醜事吧

我們能不能拍手術過程?
首腦死了沒?
新聞編輯室的人開了賭盤
快讓那個寡婦進棚專訪!
我們需要不可告人的醜事

你不必真的查明真相
你也不會想知道真相
別管那麼多了
好好享用你的爆料大餐吧

往那走也要追
往這走也要追
往那走也要追
往這走也要追

往那走也要追
往這走也要追
死透了也要追
給他追到底

骯髒的小秘密
骯髒的小謊言
我們干預每個人的每一件事
我們就喜歡把人打出原形
我們就愛不可告人的醜事

我們可以玩“含沙射影”那一套
我們可以又唱又跳
播報個半天卻啥都沒告訴你
我們都知道大便是黃金
來點不可告人的醜事吧

扒糞嗜血又愛加油添醋,愚蠢無知又愛裝懂...怎麼會這樣...these media animals.
各位有機會找出這首歌來聽聽吧!

什麼?誰?我影射誰?
去!
