20世紀30年代轟動美國一時的雌雄大盗(Bonnie Parker&Clyde Barrow)事件被傳媒電影電視音樂神化了不少。最出名的有1967年Arthur Penn執導的"Bonnie and Clyde"(由Warren Beatty和Faye Dunaway分別飾演Bonnie和Clyde)。而法國名演員兼歌手兼fashion icon兼「....」 —— Serge Gainsbourg（佢有好多身份）﹐也曾將這個驚天地（FBI名案）﹑泣鬼神（他們的愛情）的事件譜成歌曲﹐填上歌詞﹐然後娓娓道來。
上年一眾歌手樂隊來個tribute﹐重新演繹了Gainsbourg的名曲﹐收錄在"Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited"裡。碟內找到"The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde"一曲。經翻譯後重新編曲混音﹐作為大碟的bonus track。
(英版歌詞﹕
You've all read the story of Jesse James(19世紀末美國著名大盜)
How he lived, how he died?
Give it a kick, huh! You kickin for more
Well then, listen to the story about BONNIE AND CLYDE
So get this, Clyde got himself a girl,
She's beautiful and her name is Bonnie
They formed a gang of two as much we know;
Their names: Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
"When I first met Clyde, i can't remember
He was a loyal guy, honest and straight."
"It must have been Society
Never had a chance to make a good name."
Everythings been written black and white
They say that we kill in cold-blood.
But it's only the teller takes to screaming
Shut up whoever starts yelling
Everytime a cop gets knocked off,
Or a garage or bank gets held up,
The headline always reach the morning after,
It's signed Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker
Now, everytime we try to settle down
To set up calmly in a house,
Withen three days comes a sound the ack ack ack
Of the machine guns coming to attack
One of these days, we'll go down together,
Me, I don't care at all, it's for Bonnie that I tremble
"What difference does it make if they get me
Me, Bonnie, I tremble for Clyde Barrow.
In the end there was no way out
The only solution was to die
Who gives a damn for tomorrow
Who was Bonnie and Clyde Barrow.)
我說這件事﹐其實又係兜緊圈去講James Iha。因為﹐
呢首英版"The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde"﹐係佢同個Makino Kazu唱o既。
呵呵~
