Chapter 150: Billboard Five Masterpieces a Hundred Years Ago!

Han Zhou didn't expect that the award was not a movie, but a song.

"Oops."

The staff was puzzled: "Mr. Han, is it ...... Can't you perform? Didn't you make it final confirmation last night? ”

Han Zhou: "It's okay, it's okay, you can perform." ”

After the staff was confirmed, they left, and Han Zhou slapped his thigh: "It's a loss!" ”

Wang Xiya was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Han Zhou was annoyed: "How did I know that the teenagers of the United States actually like songs like "The Last Mohican", I prepared a ballad. ”

"I knew they liked it, so I would have performed 'Song of the Eagles' or simply taken out 'Beyond the Tears.'"

Wang Xiya was even more puzzled: "What song is the song of the eagle?" What is beyond the tears? Newly written?? ”

Han Zhou: "Ah...... Well, it's newly written, and I haven't taken it out yet, so I'll take it out again when I have the opportunity to really enter North America in the future. ”

When Han Zhou was preparing, he wanted to choose a song to sing at the National College Student Choice Awards ceremony.

A lot of things are automatically retrieved in my head.

There are two lists, one is the favorite song of teenagers over the years.

One is the most popular golden song of North American college students in the past century.

What is surprising is that the most popular golden songs of North American college students in the past century are actually only five songs.

Each song, spanning two eras, is basically invincible for twenty years.

Han Zhou finally struggled with two songs, one was "Five Hundred Miles" and the other was "Scarborough Market".

"Five Hundred Miles" is a song about being far from home, having nothing, and starting to struggle.

It will definitely be popular with all college students, because the vast majority of college students in North America do not go to college locally at all, so this song is a lore for college students and working people.

It is also a lore for immigrants.

However, Han Zhou finally chose "Scarborough Bazaar".

To be precise, Han Zhou chose "Castro Bazaar".

It's actually a song, but the translation name is different.

But! These are actually two songs.

The original version was called "Scarborough Market" and was a song sung by a male voice, the sound of nature.

The song satirizes, even denounces, the Anglo-Saxon's acts of war, and is based on the lyrics of a folk song that has been passed down in England for centuries, recomposed and rewritten.

When this song appeared, it was when the United States attacked the banana country.

Anti-war sentiment was on the rise, and for the entire twenty years, the song was unbeatable.

If, if the song hadn't been changed, hadn't been plotted, hadn't been robbed. It will not be twenty years of fire, but fifty years, a hundred years.

If the words hadn't been changed, there would be no need to choose this list at all, there is no song to replace it!

However, some people denounce it, and some people cover it up.

Decades later, another British female singer re-sang the song after removing the lyrics that satirized the Anglo-Saxon warmongers.

Since then, the original version that once suppressed an era and conquered thousands of fans has disappeared.

And this female singer version has changed this song from a song denouncing war to a song of pure love.

Because the words have been changed twice, the song is good, but the lyrics sound like a neurotic and completely illogical.

Han Zhou is only suspected of being mentally ill, not insane, and of course he will not sing the new version.

And on the Chinese Internet, searching for "Scarborough Market" cannot find the original Simon version of this song, only the new version of the cover of the British female singer.

On the Chinese Internet, you need to search "Castro Market" to search for the original version. (《scarboroughFair》simonGarfunkel)

Even the lyrics in the encyclopedia have been changed.

And what Han Zhou wants to sing is the version of "Castro Bazaar".

While Han Zhou was thinking, the host and guests on the stage suddenly called Han Zhou's name.

"Most Popular Summer Song Award, Finalist, Han Zhou, Hua Guo, "Summer Soshi"."

They translated the song's title as "Summer Soothing Rock."

Han Zhou didn't expect that there would be this one, and there would be a song that could be shortlisted.

In fact, after Han Zhou's "The Last Mohican" became popular all over the Americas, many people went to look for Han Zhou's songs to listen to.

However, they don't understand Chinese songs.

Only "Ordinary Road" is the most popular.

However, Han Zhou also has an English song, that is, "Summer Soshi", so this song was wildly sought after by the majority of fans and was directly praised at the awards ceremony.

The Most Popular Summer Song Award, in fact, should be translated as, Summer Song Award.

For university students and teenagers, this award is given to the best people to listen to during their leisure time.

Best for listening at the pool, beach, party.

Therefore, although "Summer Soleshi" has the word summer, it is too reluctant to win the award.

It's hard to get high at a party with this song.

The winner went to the band Polaris from the UK.

Han Zhou saw the person he knew, the woman in the gym.

It turned out to be Emini.

The award ceremony continued, and the host: "The next award is also a widely watched award, and the number of voters is the top five among all awards. ”

"Most Popular Pure Music Award."

"There are four pieces of music on the selection."

"Cafu, the theme song of the game "War Paradise" version 7.4 "Crazy War"!"

"Binske, the theme song of the movie "Cowbell" from "The Voice of Makino"!"

"Wolforst, West White Fang, piano song "The Waves"!"

"Han Zhou, Hua Guo, "The Last Mohican"!"

The guest of honor is a Chinese movie star, to be precise, the Oscar winner, Thomas in his fifties.

Thomas glanced at the card and smiled: "Congratulations!" Han Zhou, "The Last Mohican"! ”

Moderator: "Please, Mrhan! ”

Han Zhou stood up, Wang Xiya stretched out his hand, and Han Zhou bent down and hugged Wang Xiya again.

Then he got up and walked to the stage.

Han Zhou, dressed in flip-flops, stepped onto the stage and quickly sparked fierce whistles and screams on the scene.

You must know that in the back row of the scene, there are jury members from twenty-five universities.

And at the twenty-five best universities in the United States, the percentage of students who like "The Last Mohican" is extremely high.

They voted for this song first, and voted for this category that is usually not paid attention to in the top five.

If "The Last Mohican" was selected for the Most Popular Song Award (Male Singer) award, I am afraid it would also be able to win the first place.

Moreover, the 25 best universities in the United States have a super high proportion of Chinese students.

In California, where Los Angeles is located, all the top universities are as if they have returned to China as soon as they enter, and there are Chinese students and local Chinese everywhere.

Han Zhou's winning the award was also a huge incentive for this group, so the screams of the Chinese student representatives at the scene were particularly intense.

Han Zhou smiled and waved his hand, and Thomas handed over a huge surfboard: "Congratulations, I also like this song, I have heard it no less than thirty times." ”

Han Zhou smiled: "Thank you." ”

Back in time, it's time to deliver your acceptance speech.

Han Zhou stood on the surfboard on the ground, held the surfboard, and approached the microphone: "Can you win this award...... Deserved. ”

Many people at the scene were stunned, although in North America, everyone prefers direct expression, but over the years, the stars have become more and more polite, and everyone's impression of Chinese people is modest, this person is not the same?

Han Zhou continued: "Because everyone likes it so much, it's impossible not to win the award. ”

"Thank you to all college students across the nation for their support, and thank you to all youth across the nation for voting for their support."

"In the future, we will bring more good music to everyone."

"Thank you also to my music production team, the music production team of New World Entertainment."

"Thank you."

The host smiled: "Han, it's show time next, can we enjoy your beautiful music live?" ”

Han Zhou smiled: "This ...... Gotta add money. ”

The scene was embarrassing, and soon everyone reacted that it was a joke, and they burst into laughter instantly.

Han Zhou: "Oh yes, I paid for it, I forgot, so let's just start performing?" ”

Of course, the people on the scene knew that it was impossible to pay, and it was still a serial joke.

The host smiled: "I'll keep it for you?" ”

Han Zhou: "I'll hold it and sing, I'm afraid you'll run away with my surfboard." ”

"I'm going to try this surfboard to see if it works."

This joke is more American, but it's not very funny, but on this occasion, there is always a nursery: "Hahahahaha, quack!" ”

A song message appears on the screen behind it.

Words: Han Zhou

Music: Han Zhou

Arranger: Han Zhou

As soon as the beautiful music began, many people at the scene were in a much more relaxed mood.

A nice song, and it's a ballad?

Many people are looking forward to the opening of this man who is too mysterious for North America.

“AreyougoingtoScarboroughFair?

Are you going to Scarborough Bazaar?

Turnips, sage, rosemary and thyme

Say hello to one of the girls there on my behalf

She used to be my love. ”

The sound of heaven!

Han Zhou's voice, with a male voice, sang a voice as beautiful as Xianle.

This is not a question of singing skills, the pure voice is good, and the timbre is good.

Many people at the scene were very surprised.

That's great, isn't it?

But why are the lyrics so weird?

This lyric is too strange for Europeans and Americans, and it may not be easy for Chinese people to understand why it is strange.

So translate this lyric accurately.

"Are you going to the farmer's market?

Coriander, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns.

Say hello to me like a girl.

She used to be my love. ”

What is this??????

But such a beautiful song, such a natural voice, with such nonsensical lyrics? Is it meaningful? Or is it written for fun?

The answer is gradually given in the next paragraph.

"Tell her to make me a sackcloth garment

(Deep in the green forest, next to the hill)

Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme

(Chasing finches on snow-capped brown mountains)

There are no stitches on it, and there is no needle and thread

(The mountain is the carpet and bed sheet of the son of the mountain)

She will be my true love

(I don't feel the sound of the horn when I am asleep)"

Han Zhou sings only the previous line, with a voice similar to a female voice, which is recorded in the accompaniment track.

Listen to it before and after, creepy.

The sound of heaven sings a ghost story.

In other words, the nostalgia of the deceased for the undeceased.

Why make a linen garment, why is it next to a hill deep in the green forest?

Why don't you use a needle and thread or a sewing to make a linen shirt?

What kind of people use mountains as carpets and mattresses?

Why is the trumpet calling in a deep sleep?

Because on the hill is a lonely tomb.

Because the body bag is clothing, but there is no need for a sewn opening.

Those buried in the ground of course use mountains as mattresses.

The one who sleeps for a long time hears the call in his deep sleep.

Many people realize that this song is not that simple, and it is not a joke.

With the most natural male voice, singing such serious lyrics has achieved such a pleasant and soul-purifying effect, which is too powerful, and the charm of the lyrics is infinitely superimposed!

The new cover version of Scarborough Market completely removes the sound from the background, leaving only the singer's voice.

Without the addition of background singing, the lyrics are like a neurotic.

"Tell her to find me a piece of land

(A few small blades of grass next to the hill)

Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme

(Silver tears wash over the tomb)

It's right between the salt flats and the sea

(Soldier wipes his gun)

She's going to be my true love......"

This lonely grave is buried here alone, and the former lover has never come to see this lonely grave.

Tell her to find me a plot of land where I hope to grow coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme, between the salt flats and the sea.

Why? Because this is her home.

Can you take me home? Can you not let me sleep in this strange place?

Have you forgotten that you are my love!

This lyric is completely reversed.

Do you think it's a beloved song? Is it to miss your lover when you die?

No, this is a denunciation, a denunciation of the once sworn alliance, but in the end it was nakedly forgotten.

However, once the background song in parentheses is removed, the lyrics become a fond memory of love.

To remove the brackets is to be nakedly sentenced, to be sentenced to music, to betray the discipline of being a human being.

But that's right, lovers can forget, can expose him to the wilderness, why won't the lyrics be changed? The lyrics were changed, which in itself is one of the things that the song has to denounce, isn't it?

"Tell her to reap with a leather sickle

(Scarlet bullets rumble with war drums)

Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme

(The generals order their soldiers to kill)

Tie into bundles with heather

(Fight for a long-forgotten reason)

She's going to be my true love."

The people behind the war, with scythes, in sunny and warm places, harvested coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme, harvested heather.

The people before the war, harvested by death, in dark and damp places, rivers of blood, forever lonely in a corner that no one knows.

Do you think that's the end of it?

The next time, the noble generals wearing the cross will use this forever forgotten corpse in a dark and damp place as an excuse to start the war again.

He who started the war, slaughtered the people, slaughtered his own people, and forgot them.

And who will become the new reason to be forgotten.

"Are you going to Scarborough Bazaar?

Coriander, sage, rosemary and thyme

Say hello to one of the girls there on my behalf

She used to be my love......"

When the song is sung to the end, it is repeated for the first time.

This time, there was silence.

Quieter than Silent Hill.

In the first paragraph, everyone thought that this was a beautiful love story.

Although sad, it may be a beautiful nostalgia for love after missing love.

In the last paragraph, the same word.

But it's clear to everyone.

What bullshit love? A hundred times a day to avoid stepping on pits.

When I died, I didn't even have a shroud!

No one took him home!

No one buried him where he lived.

Do you really think those spices mean spices? Aren't those spices the fireworks of the world?

How many white bones are crying in a lonely wilderness without fireworks?

Even, are spices really just spices?

It's a cannibalistic world.

European and American teenagers, do you have brains? Do you still step on this kind of pit?

Is this song a way to say hello to her former lover?

This song is for people to ask, the old man, do you have a conscience next door? Is there a man next door to your mother? Is there still Tianli next door to your mother, and is there still a royal law?!!!

It's not a greeting, it's a condemnation, it's a denunciation, it's a hatred of a blatant lie!

Is this song "Figuar of Castro"? Or "Scarborough Bazaar"?

No, this song is called "I'm Fucking Fucking"!

Students, they all love to think.

Although in North America, a large number of ordinary people can only think about things with one tendon.

But college students are not.

At this time, the souls of countless people in major colleges and universities across the United States are trembling.

At colleges and universities across the United States, summer is as cold as an ice cave.

The melodious music, the natural singing, and the cruel lyrics form the most terrifying sense of contrast, the terrifying hell on earth.

If "The Last of the Mohicans" is a silent cry.

Then this time, it's a wail of despair.

It's just that the Mohicans are not even qualified to wail, and the Internet does not allow the Mohicans to wail.

However, others are still qualified to wail.

Many people who are not interested in "The Last Mohican" feel that they have found a soul mentor when they hear "Castro Bazaar".

There are diseases in this world, you are sick, I am sick, everyone is sick, and "Castro Bazaar" is proof of this.

At the scene, the explosion of applause and screams, after the silence, came with a bang.

Han Zhou approached the microphone: "A song "Castro Bazaar" is given to all teenagers and college students in the United States. ”

"I hope you can learn to think for yourself."

"If you can, pass this song on to the next generation as a family heirloom."

"By the way, any kind of lyric alteration is prohibited in this song."

"Thank you."

Carrying a surfboard, wearing flip-flops and a Hawaiian sun shirt with all the bells and whistles, Han Zhou walked off the stage and strolled down the aisle amid crazy applause and screams, so dazzling in the crowd.

Some people's eyes changed.

He became to look at him as if he were a god.

Han Zhou walked and walked, and suddenly stopped: "Oops, the surfboard is so heavy." ”

Two singers who had never met before got up, one dragging the tail of the surfboard and the other carrying the head of the surfboard.

"You rest, let's do the heavy work!"

"Han!"

Explosive cheers from the scene.

"Han!"

"I love you!"

"You're a hero!"

It's easy to be scolded for writing this, but today the emotions are intense, and I still wrote it after thinking about it for a long time. The effect explodes, more than a hundred times better than the meaning and effect of pop songs.

I'll take a chapter today, take it easy.

Ask for a commuter pass!
