卡寧打比

格拉斯哥兩間大公司對戰,睇清楚少少發現兩邊心口都係啤酒廠Carling既嘜頭。點解打比會變成啤酒盃?原來Carling雖然係英國最好賣既啤酒,不過班北佬鍾意Tennent's居多,Carling唯有狂打廣告。

不知所終

巡台看到《新不了情》,薛凱肥版,薛小姐不能免俗的得了絕症。當醫生告訴她說,或許可以堅持到冬天的時候,眼光好像在幻想死在冬天是甚麼情景。
引發我空想一番,可以選擇的話我們會選擇死在哪個季節?
夏天的海邊?
冬裡的火爐前?
初春的霧裡?

最大可能是死在鏡湖醫院的四堵粉紅色牆壁裡。失望嗎?也不必。最少鏡湖有好吃的粥水,瘦肉味最好,魚肉次之。

小華盛頓的爸爸為甚麼原諒了他?

The following anecdote is a case in point. It is too valuable to be lost, and too true to be doubted; for it was communicated to me by the same excellent lady to whom I am indebted for the last.

"When George," said she, " was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet! of which, like most little boys, he was immoderately fond, and was constantly going about chopping everything that came in his way. One day, in the garden, where he often amused himself hacking his mother's pea-sticks, he unluckily tried the edge of his hatchet on the body of a beautiful young English cherry-tree, which he barked so terribly, that I don't believe the tree ever got the better of it. The next morning the old gentleman, finding out what had befallen his tree, which, by the by, was a great favourite, came into the house; and with much warmth asked for the mischievous author, declaring at the same time, that he would not have taken five guineas for his tree. Nobody could tell him anything about it. Presently George and his hatchet made their appearance. "George," said his father, " do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? " This was a tough question; and George staggered under it for a moment; but quickly recovered himself: and looking at his father, with the sweet face of youth brightened with the inexpressible charm of all- conquering truth, he bravely cried out, "I can't tell a lie, Pa; you know I can't tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet."--"Run to my arms, you dearest boy," cried his father in transports, " run to my arms; glad am I, George, that you killed my tree; for you have paid me for it a thousand fold. Such an act of heroism in my son is more worth than a thousand trees, though blossomed with silver, and their fruits of purest gold."


上面所引就是這個肉麻的櫻桃樹故事的原本面貌。標題的答案是:華盛頓還沒放下斧頭!

貓該不知道自由吧,但那種嚮往的眼神是偶然嗎?

偶爾打開一下的小匣子,有些已經離我們而去了。

考古歌

99年的歌,台灣記憶的一部份。歌詞有看沒有懂,靠旋律和編曲感受。
文案說:「誰是春嬌?誰是志明?其實春嬌與志明就是你、我、和我們身邊的每一個男男女女,用英文來說的話就是Peter and Mary,就是這樣普通的名字,但是每個普通人其實都有他的不普通故事,就像這首歌敍述的故事,也許就曾在你我身上發生過。」

《志明與春嬌》五月天
作詞:阿信 作曲:阿信
志明真正不知要安怎
為什麼 愛人不願閣再相偎
春嬌已經早就無在聽
講這多 其實攏總攏無卡抓
走到淡水的海岸 兩個人的愛情
已經無人看 已經無人聽
啊啊 我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
到這凍止 你也免愛我

我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
麥閣傷心 麥閣我這愛你 你沒愛我
志明心情真正有影寒
風這大 你也真攏沒心肝
春嬌你哪無要和我播
這齣電影 咱就走到這位 準抵煞

走到淡水的海岸 兩個人的愛情
已經無人看 已經無人聽
啊啊 我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
到這凍止 你也免愛我

啊啊 我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
麥閣傷心 麥閣我這愛你 你沒愛我

走到淡水的海岸 兩個人的愛情
已經無人看 已經無人聽
啊啊 我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
到這凍止 你也免愛我

啊啊 我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
麥閣傷心 麥閣我這愛你 你沒愛我

我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
到這凍止 你也免愛我
啊啊 我跟你 最好就到這
你對我 已經沒感覺
麥閣傷心 麥閣我這愛你 你沒愛我

愛和情,借來填一晚?

終須都歸還,無謂多貪!

某動物的絕招

絕招並不一定是殺傷力最高,卻能把你的防備全都抵消。
-It's not my sword, Mondego, but your past that disarmed you.

前段風光好

或許是K歌的命運,有些很不錯的歌都是爛在後半段。可能詞人填了一段好詞,但曲式必須是ABAC,不得已再狗尾一段。又可能是前半段的敘事很有氣氛,但監制下定決心要做個高潮位,於是出現了法蘭克斯坦式前後截然不同風格的硬轉。
說到填詞,還是由衷的佩服甄健強先生。「男孩子挑選哪位」^只有天才方寫得出。

^Rita若知道這句的涵意,你的廣州話算通過四級專業了。
