急口令(繞口令)﹐你可以嗎﹖

喜歡S.H.E好幾年了。因為她們﹐我由聽不懂普通話到可以聽到大概80%。近一兩年她們的歌不是我的口味﹐也本著為支持而支持了。今年5月她們將推出她們的第10張專輯﹐老實說﹐已經沒有甚麼期待。

偏偏她們來了第一首主打“中國話”﹐心想也只是唱片公司為了內地市場的宣傳技量吧了。早前聽了副歌四句﹐旋律易記沒甚麼特別﹐歌詞倒趕上現在全球學中文的熱潮。聽說這歌融合RAP和中文繞口令﹐對於現在這麼多的中國曲風倒有點不以為意。

今天聽了完整版﹐卻有點佩服作曲人和作詞人的創意﹐不單以歌詞貼切形容現在這股中國熱。整首歌的中文繞口令更可以列入教材好好操練一下我們這些學中國話的半竹升。只是覺得那四句副歌重複得有點煩厭。

中國話
曲：鄭楠 詞：鄭楠 / 施人誠

扁擔寬 板凳長
扁擔想綁在板凳上

倫敦瑪莉蓮 買了件旗袍送媽媽
莫斯科的夫司基 愛上牛肉麵疙瘩
各種顏色的皮膚 各種顏色的頭髮
嘴裡唸的說的開始流行中國話

多少年我們苦練英文發音和文法
這幾年換他們捲著舌頭學平上去入的變化
平平仄仄平平仄 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
好聰明的中國人 好優美的中國話

扁擔寬 板凳長
扁擔想綁在板凳上
板凳不讓扁擔綁在板凳上
扁擔偏要綁在板凳上
板凳偏偏不讓扁擔綁在那板凳上
到底扁擔寬還是板凳長

哥哥弟弟坡前坐
坡上臥著一隻鵝
坡下流著一條河
哥哥說 寬寬的河
弟弟說 白白的鵝
鵝要過河 河要渡鵝
不知是那鵝過河
還是河渡鵝

Chorus
全世界都在學中國話
孔夫子的話 越來越國際化
全世界都在講中國話
我們說的話 讓世界都認真聽話

紐約蘇珊娜 開了間禪風Lounge Bar
柏林來的沃夫岡 拿胡琴配著電吉他
各種顏色的皮膚 各種顏色的頭髮
嘴裡唸的說的開始流行中國話

多少年我們苦練英文發音和文法
這幾年換他們捲著舌頭學平上去入的變化
平平仄仄平平仄 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
好聰明的中國人 好優美的中國話

有個小孩叫小杜
上街打醋又買布
買了布 打了醋
回頭看見鷹抓兔
放下布 擱下醋
上前去追鷹和兔
飛了鷹 跑了兔
灑了醋 濕了布

嘴說腿 腿說嘴
嘴說腿 愛跑腿
腿說嘴 愛賣嘴
光動嘴 不動腿
光動腿 不動嘴
不如不長腿和嘴
到底是那嘴說腿 還是腿說嘴

David Tao Love Can World Tour TORONTO Concert

Toronto is the first stop of David Tao Love Can World Tour in North America. The concert was held last night at Air Canada Centre.

The stage was not beautifully decorated as in his Asian tour. Yet DT and his band performed an incredible great show for 2.5 hours! Most of his songs he played were similar to the ones at Soul Power with an addition of a few songs from the latest two albums. Too bad he didn’t sing 流沙, Angel, Dear God, and many other songs. Well, it’s just too short of the time to sing all of his songs, all good songs! Anyhow, it’s amazing to see DT perform live. He’s just way too good!!! His concert wasn’t about his solo performance or his own success. He really showed the team effort and how much he appreciated his friends and the whole team. His band was so great! Chorus (David Tan, Lisa, Kewai) were so talented and sparkling. And I think Adrian got hooked on Kewai, not?! Haha. Mo (drums), KC (bass), and Daniel (another guitarist?) were also amazing. Kheng Long 吳慶隆 (band leader) was simply unbelievable, he’s so shy!!!

I really like DT’s mixing of the west and the east in his songs, especially adding the elements like Chinese musical instruments to enrich the songs. It’s great that DT can perform at ACC ‘cuz the overall audio visual experience was good. Just that the 3-minute short video as a transition was a bit funny, guess he’s trying to lead the theme to the next part.

It’s really an unforgettable nite! And friends (for those of you who can’t come or chose not to come), you miss a lot!!

(hopefully Adrian will soon share the photos and videos he took…) haha :D
