HEY SCHOOLGIRL
Hey schoolgirl in the second row
The teacher's lookin' over
So I got to whisper way down low
To say who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop
Let's meet after school at three
She said, "Hey babe
But there is one thing more
My school is over at half past four
Maybe whe we're older, then we can date
O-oh, let's wait"
Chorus
She said, "Hey babe, I got a lot to do
It takes me hours
'Til my homework's through
Someday we'll go steady
So don't you fret
O-oh, not yet"
Chorus
Then she turned around to me
With that gleam in her eye
She said, "I'm sorry if I passed you by
I'm gonna skip my homework
Gonna cut my class
Bug out of here real fast"
Hey schoolgirl in the second row
Now we're going steady
Hear the words that I want you to know
Well it's who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop
You're mine, I knew it all the time
DANCIN' WILD
Dancin' wild with me
Dancin' wild with me
Dancin' wild with me, now move!
REFRAIN:
Oooh-la-la, you my baby,
Oooh-la-la, don't mean maybe,
Well, ooh-la-la, drive me crazy
When you're dancin' wild with me.
Dancin' wild we move to the other jack.
Drop your shoes in the corner 'till we get back.
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh, dancin' wild.
REFRAIN:
La la-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la la.
La la-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la la.
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh, dancin' wild.
That night we crash the party down the block.
We learn that crazy step; the kids all rock.
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh, dancin' wild.
REFRAIN:
The clock says now it's time that you gotta go.
There's only one thing more that you must know:
I love you so.
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh, dancin' wild.
REFRAIN:
When you're dancin' wild with me.
When you're dancin' wild with me.
La la-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la la.
La la-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la la.
PAUL SIMON TRUE TAYLOR, JERRY LANDIS, PAUL KANE
其後两人在樂壇浮沉多年, Paul Simon 更先後用 Paul Kane, True Taylor 與 Jerry Landis 的不同名字作唱片錄音,
亦曾另组一隊名為 "TICO & THE TRIUMPHS" 的樂隊, 但始終不能建立自己的風格與歌唱路線。
ASK ME WHY - The Cosines
CAROLE KING & JERRY LANDIS aka THE COSINES
1959年 Jerry Landis (Paul Simon), Carole King 組成的錄音室二人组合: "THE COSINES"
PAUL SIMON : Guitar, Bass, Lead Vocal
CAROLE KING : Piano, Drums, Back Up Vocal
他們演譯的全是 Doo-Wop 節奏的樣本錄音。至1992年, 該唱片公司 CHANCE RECORD 才以黑膠细碟將這两首歌曲印製發行,
但仍用 JERRY LANDIS 的名字於唱片上。
ART GARFUNKEL ARTIE GARR
在這時期, Art Garfunkel 以此名字與一些小型唱片公司錄音灌碟, 雖然曾出版近 30張細碟,
但還是鬱鬱不得志, 皆因他的歌曲亦同樣走向 Doo-Wop 節奏及情歌路線, 偶然他跟 Paul Simon 仍有合作,
只用 TICO & THE TRIUMPHS 的名字錄製歌曲而已, 不過當時美國樂壇正值 British Invasion,
給Beatles 旋風式的潮流入侵, 幾乎給各類流行音樂比下去。
BREAKUP & REUNION
SIMON & GARFUNKEL
两人近10年不停的嘗試, 由個人至合作, 仍未見有任何成績, 至1964年, 經 Columbia 哥倫比亞唱片公司的安排,
以 SIMON & GARFUNKEL 两人的名字组合, 錄製首張唱片專輯 "Wednesday Morning 3 AM", 但銷售數量仍見不佳。
Paul Simon 決定獨自前往英國發展, 1965年5月在倫敦錄製 "The Paul Simon Song Book" 專輯, 但樂迷的反應仍是一般。
同年9月 "Wednesday Morning 3 AM" 唱片專輯的監製 Tom Wilson 把碟內的 "The Sounds Of Silence" 加上電結他與鼓的音效,
由 Folk 變為動感的 Folk Rock 版本, 重召他倆錄音, 此一變身即成為 Billboard 細碟榜冠軍。
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER - 1970
這歌曲是他两人在樂壇的高峰又是最後的合作歌曲, 其後各自發展, 至1972年6月再次合作於 Madison Square Garden,
為 George McGovern 競選總統助選壓場同台演出, 之後仍繼續各自發展與及多次两人合作演出。
完美的和聲二重唱组合, Paul Simon 的歌曲撰寫才華, 在60年代中期開始大放異彩, 使很多青少年十分着迷,
帶給歌迷很多驚喜之作, 他們的歌曲自此成為 Rock n' Roll 時期的另一番新景像, 過去他們的歌唱事業每每舉步維艱,
两人分開和復合多次, 幾經改變才分別走上成功之路, 日後的離合, 只會帶給樂迷驚喜多於一切, 甚至無聲勝有聲?
25th ANNIVERSARY ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME CONCERT
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
Madison Square Garden, NYC - 2009/10/29&30
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
