Al Capone

Al Capone

麥可傑克遜演唱的一首歌曲,收錄於2012年發行的BAD.25th.Anniversary專輯中

簡介

“《阿爾·卡彭》有多像《犯罪高手》(Smooth Criminal),《街頭流鶯》(Streetwalker)就有多像《危險》(Dangerous)。”(也沒那么像吧。)兩種情況都是傑克遜選了自己喜歡的元素,改造成全新的東西,這是傑克遜才華、耐心和職業道德的證明。儘管這個早期版本有很好的潛力(傑克遜的許多同輩人很可能就發行了),但他堅持製作,唱出了不朽經典《犯罪高手》。這支樣帶證明了傑克遜寫好聽副歌的高超技巧。聽過一遍,那些用假聲唱的和聲就在腦海里不停回放了。
馬特·佛格:“這個例子展示了一首歌的一部分是如何啟發這首歌的另一個版本。麥可多次這么做,他會想著一首歌,從中提煉出概念、歌詞或旋律。《阿爾·卡彭》的低音部分 —— 你能聽出它是怎么變成《犯罪高手》的。幫匪主題貫穿始終 —— 儘管跟一個特定歷史人物不太相關,更多是講一個情景和故事。你能聽到麥可嘗試這種他後來使用的斷音、快速唱詞技巧。”

歌詞

Al Capone
By Michael Jackson
-----------------------------------------
Why did you let him get away
After the staring what did you see
Shooting me bullets, cold as ice
Screamed in my face then put it back.
She shot us, firing down, he's in
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get her
Too bad, forget it
'Cause there's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
'Cause the mad man's out tonight
Chorus *2
Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her about us
The girl was sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way
Why did you let him get away
After the staring what did you see
Shooting me bullets, cold as ice
Screamed in my face then put it back
She shot us, firing down, he's in
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get her
Too bad, forget it
'Cause there's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
And I told her out tonight
Chorus *2
Too bad, forget it
'Cause there's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
Cause the man is out tonight
Chorus *4
Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her about us
The girl was sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way
Why did you let him get away
After the staring what did you see
Shooting me bullets, cold as ice
Screamed in my face then put it back
She shot us, firing down, he's in
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get away
阿爾·卡彭
創作:麥可·傑克遜
當你聽一些歌曲的早期樣帶,你能立刻分辨出這是什麼歌。這首歌不一樣。這個例子展示了一首歌的早期是多么不同於後來完成的美化版本。如果不知道《犯罪高手》是從《阿爾·卡彭》發展而來,聽這首早期錄音時你很難想像它竟源於此歌。
為什麼你讓他跑掉
目瞪口呆後你看到了什麼
給我一槍,冷凌如冰
當面尖叫,再收回槍口
她對我們開槍掃射
但有他參與其中
沒人敢試圖復仇
為什麼你讓他跑掉
為什麼你讓他將她逮著
太糟糕了,忘了吧
因為阿爾·卡彭參與其中
太悲劇了,後悔吧
因為瘋子今晚要出街
應該告訴她的
沒有人曾告訴過她關於我們的事
這個女孩還在睡覺
沒有人應當這樣悲慟
為什麼你讓他跑掉
目瞪口呆後你看到了什麼
給我一槍,冷凌如冰
當面尖叫,再收回槍口
她對我們開槍掃射
但有他參與其中
沒人敢試圖復仇
為什麼你讓他跑掉
為什麼你讓他將她逮著
太糟糕了,忘了吧
因為阿爾·卡彭參與其中
太悲劇了,後悔吧
我還讓她今晚出門來
應該告訴她的
沒人曾告訴過她關於我們的事
這個女孩還在睡覺
沒人應當這樣悲慟
