I Went To A Garden Party

(2011-07-11 07:10:08) 下一個


Song:Garden Party
Artist:Rick Nelson Flash: Westhorse

I went to a garden party
To reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
And play our songs again
When I got to the garden party
They all knew my name
No one recognized me
I didn’t look the same

People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
‘N’ over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr Hughes hid in Dylan’s shoes
Wearing his disguise

Played them all the old songs
Thought that’s why they came
No one heard the music
We didn’t look the same
I said hello to “Mary Lou”
She belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk
It was time to leave

Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B Goode
Playing guitar
Like a-ringin’ a bell
And lookin’ like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang
I rather drive a truck

But it’s all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can’t please everyone
So ya got to please yourself

杜姐,

喜歡你說得這句話:“希望感動別人,就先感動自己吧”。謝謝你欣賞這首歌曲,我采用了westhorse製作的flash圖片來配這首歌曲。歌中唱道的Hello Mary-Lou,是Ricky Nelson演唱的另外一首歌曲的歌名。Ricky Nelson年輕時候的樣子,可謂是淳樸自然,他的眼睛明亮迷人,彈著吉他,唱著歌曲,瀟灑自如。下麵是他唱的《Hello Mary-Lou》和《Travelin' Man》兩個歌曲視頻版本,和你分享,連接如下:

林貝卡 回複 悄悄話 Johnny B. Goode, Hello Mary Lou & Honky tonk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Hello Mary Lou" is a song written by U.S. singer Gene Pitney and Cayet Mangiaracina and performed by Ricky Nelson in 1961. "Travelin' Man", hit #1.

A honky tonk (also called a honkatonk, honkey-tonk, or tonk) is a type of bar with musical entertainment common in the Southern and Southwestern United States. The term has also been applied to various styles of 20th-century American music.


"Johnny B. Goode" is a much covered 1958 rock and roll song composed by Chuck Berry. It is one of Berry's most important songs. Written by Berry in 1955, the song is about a poor country boy who plays a guitar "just like ringing a bell", and who might one day have his "name in lights". Berry has acknowledged that the song is partly autobiographical, and originally had "colored boy" in the lyrics, but he changed it to "country boy" to ensure radio play. The title is suggestive that the guitar player is good, and hints at autobiographic elements because Berry was born on Goode Avenue in St. Louis. The song was initially inspired by Berry's piano player, Johnnie Johnson, though developed into a song mainly about Berry himself. Berry has written two more songs involving the character Johnny B. Goode, "Bye Bye Johnny" and "Go Go Go", and titled an instrumental album as "Concerto in B. Goode". The song was prominently featured in the film Back to the Future, in which Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly plays a cover version of the song at a high-school dance. McFly, who subs in for the lead guitarist after he was injured, plays the song on stage. While McFly plays the song, the lead singer, Marvin Berry, calls his cousin Chuck about a "new sound he has been looking for." The scene is widely referenced throughout popular culture.
