“FLY ME TO THE MOON”
你觉得这是谁的歌？宇多田光？Westlife？ 搞错了～其实这支歌的历史可以追溯到1954年：由Bart Howard创作，最初被命名为“In Other Words"。然后在接下来的几十年间，其被将近二十多位知名乐手（仅仅是知名乐手的数目）以各式各样的方式进行着完全不同的演绎，歌名也变成了”Fly Me to the Moon"。直至今日，此乐的重编与录制仍未停止。
歌词：
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you
Barry Manilow 乃何许人也？呵呵，即使你可能不知道他是谁，但他的音乐你一定或多或少地听过。为谁么？因为其作品已经脍炙人口到连国内的电视节目有时候都会引用上一段，例如Weekend in New England、Looks Like We Made It。 这首在1978年由Jack Feldman、Barry Manilow和Bruce Sussman创作，Barry Manilow演唱的Copacabana，对于Friends的fans来说一定不会陌生：剧中Rachel鼓起勇气唱出此歌——代表着对从前的勇敢面对、最后被众人以一同喝唱的方式接受的一幕，着实让人为之动容。由此，Coapacabana以及Marry Banilow在美国的群众基础可见一斑。
歌词：
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
CHORUS:
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa.... they fell in love
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
REPEAT CHORUS
At the copa... she lost her love
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola,
Still in dress she used to wear,
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind
REPEAT CHORUS
At the copa... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
John Paul Larkin（1942年3月13日—1999年12月3日），以艺名Scatman John闻名于世（在国际上一般被直接称呼为Scatman），是美国著名的同时患有口吃的爵士乐手。他以独一无二的方式将拟声唱法和欧陆舞曲融合在一起， 其最著名的作品为1994年发行的“ Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) ”。正如其所说，正是以这种方式他将自己“最大的缺陷转变为最宝贵的财富”。他在全球发行的专辑销售总量达到了数百万并且在日本和的德国的Echo奖项中被评为“最佳新人”。由于对口吃患者协会所作出的突出贡献，他也成为“美国语言障碍研究协会”Annie Glenn奖的获得者之一并被接受成为美国“国家口吃患者协会”名人堂名人之一。他因肺癌逝世于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶家中，享年57岁。

(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman
(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman
(Scatting by Scatman John)
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
If the Scatman can do it so can you.
Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings.
But what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing.
Yo I'm the Scatman.
Where's the Scatman? I'm the Scatman.
Why should we be pleasin' all the politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if the could?
The state of the condition insults my intuitions
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood.
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you.
I'm the Scatman.
(Scatting by Scatman John)
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
If the Scatman can do it so can you.
I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat.
Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleepin' the saints are still weepin' cause
Things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born.
I'm the Scatman.
(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman.
(Scatting by Scatman John)
Where's the Scatman?
(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman....repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
I'm the Scatman....sing along with me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
(Scatting by Scatman John)
歌词：
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Recall Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;
FEED YOUR HEAD
FEED YOUR HEAD
