Estelle feat. Kanye -〈American Boy〉



那個六點半的芝加哥早上,在酒醒與睡意之間
六個人擠在 Miles 的車上,看著後照鏡裡的日出
聽著 radio 裡的這首歌

這是2008我最愛的歌之一

原版 mv 已經在 Youtube裡找不到

附上歌詞

Kanye West:
Just another one champion sound me and Estelle about to get down who the hottest in the world right now Just touched down in London town Bet they give me a pound Tell them put the money in my hand right now. Tell the promoter we need more seats, we just sold out all the floor seats

Estelle: (Chorus 1)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy.

He said Hey Sister.
It's really really nice to meet ya.
I just met this 5 foot 7 guys who's just my type.
I like the way he's speaking
his confidence is peaking.
Don't like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath it.
And no I aint been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits.
First let's see the west end.
I'll show you to my bedroom.
I'm like this American Boy. American Boy

(Chorus)

Can we get away this weekend.
Take me to Broadway.
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Cafe;
Let's go on the subway. Take me to your hood.
I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.
Dress in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker's looking Fresh to Def I'm lovin those Shell Toes.
Walkin that walk. Talk that slick talk.
I'm likin this American Boy. American Boy.

(Chorus)

Who killin em in the UK. Everybody gonna to say you K, reluctantly, because most of this press don't f**k wit me. Estelle once said to me, cool down down don't act a fool now now. I always act a fool oww oww. Aint nothing new now now. He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. White Pino I know what you're drinkin. Rap singer. Chain Blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin. What's you're persona. I got this American Brama. Am I shallow cuz all my clothes designer. Dressed smart like a London Bloke. Before he speak his suit bespoke. And you thought he was cute before. Look at this P Coat, Tell me he's broke. And I know you're not into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit. But I still talk that CAAASH. Cuz a lot wacks want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest. The Pips at they Gladys. And I know they love it. so to hell with all that rubbish

Would you be my love, my love. could you be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy, American Boy

《Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona - 情遇巴塞隆納》


打從一開始想看這個電影
就只是想看 Scarlett Johanson 與 Penelope Cruz 的女女床戲
不過顯然我在灣區的朋友不太能接受這麼直接的推薦或都不是 Woody Allen 的 fan
oh well, Woody Allen 本來就是 acquire taste.

可能始意就錯了
男人想和女人親熱,是不想聽她說話的
忘記 Woody Allen 的電影總是話很多
導致看著 Scarlett 和 Javier 應是美麗的運鏡,身體再難有深刻的慾望
滿分20,你希望拿到17分有點到為止的曖昧情緒,結果得分音階卻在13分就軋然而止
不禁懷疑他是不是用電影替自己垂垂老矣的身體意淫過乾癮

好吧,當我始意就錯了
但如果只當成 Woody Allen 的電影看
他的對話,又說得不夠多了
平鋪直敘的旁白,只有解釋故事時間關係
Javier 演的藝術家 Juan Antonio 面對三種不同魅力,不同性感,不同個性的女人
眼裡卻只有 "我真心想和你們做愛" 的誠意,沒有激情,少了火花
三個女人 Cristina不夠浪,Vicky 不夠掙扎,Maria Elena除了恰以外沒有西班牙女人的為愛癡狂
以巴塞隆納這麼浪漫的夏日城市來說
這樣的情愛實在太~平~淡~了~

.........個人在巴塞隆納年少輕狂的經驗雖然無法成就一個電影
但拍個1分鐘短片,都比這精彩多了
我的那年暑假,故事也發生在一個叫做 Anotonio 的酒保身上......
