Sad Movies: 一首60年代美國大學生和台灣大學生的流行歌曲

60年代初,我還是大一的學生,那時候在台灣唯一的娛樂就是看電影。那年頭也許是跟美國人學的,流行在放正式電影之前,先會放一段世界新聞,再放一段彩色卡通。這首歌是說一位女生在電影院看電影,竟然在剛熄燈開始放映世界新聞的時候,發現自己的男友和自己的閨蜜竟然走了進來坐在自己前座。她好傷心,就在自己的男友開始親吻自己閨蜜的時候,也正好是卡通片放映一半的時候,她開始哭泣了。因爲那場景很合我們在台灣的電影院的情景,所以這首歌在當年非常熱門。一直到現在,如果失戀的男女青年在被人看到傷心的時候,如果別人問他或她爲何流淚,就會說:是因爲這部“悲劇電影”讓自己哭了。
Sad Movies
歌詞:
Sad movies always make me cry
He said he had to work, so
I went to the show alone.
They turned down the lights
and turned the projector on.
And just as the news of the
world started to begin,
I saw my darling and my
best friend walking in.
Although I was sitting right
there they didn't see me.
And so they both sat right
down in the front of me.
And when he kissed her
lips then I almost died.
And in the middle of the color
cartoon I started to cry.
Oh Sad movies always make me cry
Oh Sad movies always make me cry
And so I got on up and
slowly I walked on home,
And Mama saw the tears and
said "what's wrong?".
And so just to keep
from telling her a lie,
I just said "Sad movies makes me cry".
Oh Sad movies always make me cry
Oh Sad movies always make me cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sa-a-a-d movies make me cry-y-y
