ブロークン・ピーチ

2021年1月25日 12:06

四人の女性ボーカルが在籍するバンド、Broken Peach。私の好きな昔の曲をカバーしてます。CCRの『プラウド・メアリー』なんざ最高です。

ところがねえ、このバンド、誰が誰やら、バンドマンの名前がわからない。いくら調べても出てこない。誰か知ってますか？

しかし、最後の曲を聴くとね、男性って、この四人の中で、誰を選んだら、自分も相手も幸せになれるのか？なんて、考えます。だれだろう？

カラオケ

私の小説にでてくる純子ちゃん、『第十一話処女以後』これから、節子、紗栄子、佳子の三人組とお友達になりますが、この三人組とカラオケに行ってもらいましょう。

純子　「わぁ～、節子、紗栄子、佳子とカラオケに来てる！」
紗栄子「お前が引っ張ってきたんじゃないか？だいたい、元ヤンがカラオケだぁ～？」
純子　「いいじゃない？これからは四人組ってことで？」
紗栄子「アレクサンドル・デュマのアトス・ポルトス・アラミスの『三銃士』に純子はダルタニヤンを狙ってないか？合わせて四銃士だぜ？」
純子　「『三銃士』なんてよく出てきたね？」
紗栄子「元ヤンをなめんな！宝塚の月組公演『All for One』は『三銃士』が元ネタだ！」
純子　「元ヤンが宝塚？」
紗栄子「・・・自分でばらした・・・」
純子　「それでね、今日は歌の練習。ブロークン・ピーチってバンド、四人組の女の子のボーカルだから、これをやりたい！分銅屋でクリスマスパーティーして、私たちで歌いたいの。曲は、iPhoneに入れてあるから、無線で飛ばして、モニターに出します！どう？」
紗栄子「勝手にきめんなよ」
節子　「まあ、付き合ってやろうじゃないか？」
純子　「まずはこれ。クリエンスクリアウォーターリバイバルの『プラウド・メアリー』のカバー。知ってる？」
佳子　「ああ、これは有名じゃん？」
純子　「英語の歌詞、大丈夫？」
三人　「美久ネエにしごかれてこちとら英語ヤンキーだよ。字幕だしとくれ」
純子　「じゃあ、これ」

プラウド・メアリー１

純子　「どう？」
紗栄子「こんなのちょろいよ。誰がどのパートやるんだ？」
純子　「えっとね、左から、佳子、紗栄子、節子、私じゃどうかな？」
紗栄子「純子、一番右、一番可愛くないか？それにおまえと違って背が高くで胸もケツもでかくないか？」
純子　「背の高さと胸とお尻のサイズはいいんだって。気にしちゃダメ！それにメインボーカルは紗栄子、節子なんだから」
節子　「私はこれでいい」
佳子　「私もオッケー」
純子　「じゃあ、通しで、別の『プラウド・メアリー』で歌ってみよぉ～」

プラウド・メアリー２

紗栄子「スローバラードで入るのか？うん、いいな」
節子　「左から二番目、紗栄子のパート目立ってないか？」
紗栄子「気にすんなって」
純子　「『ローリング・ストーン』誌の最も偉大な500曲、第155位だよ。
　　　　Big wheel keep on turnin'
　　　　Proud Mary keep on burnin'
　　　　Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
　　　　大きなホイールは回り続ける
　　　　プラウドメリーは蒸気を上げる
　　　　回りながら　川の上を
　　　　マークトウェインの蒸気船みたいだ
　　　　よね？」
節子　「Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
　　　　回り回って、川の上を
　　　　ってのが切ないけど、彼女らの歌じゃ
　　　　あ、切なくなくなるな」

Grease - You Are The One That I Want

節子　「これは純子とツインじゃないか？」
紗栄子「右の私、70年代っぽい髪型で好き！」
佳子　「オリジナルの『Grease - You're The One That I Want』、トラボルタ、キモい！オリビア、タバコ吸ってるし！」
紗栄子「フランキー・ヴァリの『Grease』って、1978年の曲？もっと古いかと思ってたよ」

Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack

純子　「これは？しぶいよ！私は佳子の右、紗栄子、節子ね」
紗栄子「あ！おまえ！メインとりやがったな！」
佳子　「お父さんの頃の曲だ！」

ABBA - Mamma Mia

純子　「節子、左行って。紗栄子と私で右」
佳子　「あ！私、メインだ！」
紗栄子「四人で歌うのも新鮮だな？」

Cee Lo Green - F*ck You

紗栄子「私、右ね、で、純子、節子、佳子でいこう」

Take On Me

純子　「『a-ha、Take On Me』は？1985年だよ」
紗栄子「どっかで聴いたことがあるような・・・」
節子　「このレザーファッション、いいじゃん。でも、純子、目立つな！」

節子　「純子、カワイコぶりっ子止め！」

"Proud Mary" Lyrics

You know
Every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us nice, easy
There's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing nice, easy
We always do it nice and rough

And we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
But then we're gonna do the finish rough
That's the way we do
Proud Mary

Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin'
I was worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Listen to the story

Left a good job down in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
And I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been

You know that big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
You know I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the river boat queen

You know that big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
We're rolling on the river

Say we're rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river,
We're rolling on the river

I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Say we're rollin', we're rollin', rollin' on the river

Alright

Oh, I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
And I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', so we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', rollin', we're rollin' on the river

Alright

If you come down to the river
I bet you're gonna find some people who live
And you don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin', and we're rollin', and we're rollin' on the river
Tell me one more time
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Alright

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Alright then
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

So we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
I tell you we're rollin', we're rollin', we're rollin' on the river

Alright

"You're the One That I Want" Lyrics

I got chills, they're multiplyin'
And I'm losin' control
'Cause the power you're suplyin'
It's electrifyin'!

You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart, I must be true

Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, oh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, oh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, oh, ooh
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

If you're filled with affection
You're to shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

I better shape up
'Cause you need a man
(I need a man)
Who can keep me satisfied

I better shape up
If I'm gonna prove
(You better prove)
That my faith is justified

Are you sure?
'Cause I'm sure down deep inside

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, oh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Oh, oh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one, the one I want)
Oh, oh, ooh
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

"Mamma Mia" Lyrics

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

"Take On Me" Lyrics

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love. OK?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
Of odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me,
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh, things that you say. Yeah.
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
