This is what a woman wants...
Any man of mine better be proud of me Even when I’m ugly he still better love me And I can be late for a date that’s fine But he better be on time
Any man of mine’ll say it fits just right When last year’s dress is just a little too tight And anything I do or say better be okay When I have a bad hair day
And if I change my mind A million times I wanna hear him say Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line Better show me a teasin’ squeezin’ pleasin’ kinda time I need a man who knows, how the story goes He’s gotta be a heartbeatin’ fine treatin’ Breathtakin’ earthquakin’ kind Any man of mine
Well any man of mine better disagree When I say another woman’s lookin’ better than me And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black He better say, mmmm, I like it like that yeah
And if I changed my mind A million times I wanna hear him say Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line Better show me a teasin’ squeezin’ pleasin’ kinda time I need a man who knows, how the story goes He’s gotta be a heartbeatin’ fine treatin’ Breathtakin’ earthquakin’ kind Any man of mine
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way
Any man of mine better walk the line Better show me a teasin’ squeezin’ pleasin’ kinda time I need a man who knows, how the story goes He’s gotta be a heartbeatin’ fine treatin’ Breathtakin’ earthquakin’ kind Any man of mine
You gotta shimmy shake Make the earth quake Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump Heel to toe, Do Si Do ’Til your boots wanna break "Til your feet and your back ache Keep it movin’ ’til you just can’t take anymore Come on everybody on the floor A-one two, a-three four Hup two, hum If you wanna be a man of mine, that’s right This is what a woman wants...
虽然同为乡村音乐,但与“What if she’s an angel ”(倘若她是天使)相比,“Any man of mine”(我的男人)在演唱风格上更接近于都市摇滚,更能突显持续不断向前推进的节奏感。可以打这么一个比方,如果说“What if she’s an angel”适合于幽静的街角,“Any man of mine”则更适合于旋转的舞台。曾有朋友戏谑说,“What if she’s an angel”是“坐着”的弹唱,“Any man of mine”则只能“站着”,并以一种颇富感染力的舞台表演引起观众的共鸣,招来一流的现场伴奏——掌声、哨声和欢呼声。虽然这种说法欠考究,但细细想来不无道理——否则,超级女生张靓颖怎会对这只曲子偏爱有加?也正是由于她最为出色最为成功的翻唱,“Any man of mine”才得以红遍大江南北。
准确来说,“Any man of mine”属于乡村摇滚,一种“把乡村音乐的声音和题材与摇滚乐的节奏和乐器相结合”的流行音乐风格。50年代中期,摇滚乐异军突起,原本被视为是对乡村音乐一大威胁的摇滚,却不想竟神奇地融于“乡村”并强化了乡村音乐的发展。整体来看,乡村摇滚与主流摇滚的区别并不那么明显,两者同时具有强烈的、不断向前推进的节奏,只是乡村摇滚在强烈程度上有所减轻和冲淡,不用呼喊的演唱方式,音高也很清楚。
介绍完“乡村摇滚”,似乎得把注意力转回到“Any man of mine”的原唱Shania Twain(仙妮亚·唐恩),否则大家只知道歌手张靓颖是“唯一”,不免让知情人有点“汗”。 唐恩1965年出生于加拿大的安大略省,是90年代中期最受欢迎的现代乡村音乐代表歌手。1993年推出首张专辑《仙妮亚·唐恩》以来,她又先后推出备受好评的“The Woman in me”和“Come on over”。1996年,唐恩凭借单曲“Any man of mine”(《我的男人》)获得格莱美最佳乡村女歌手奖。
虽然唐恩取得了卓越的成绩,但是因为她的音乐中硬摇滚风格的加入,同时也因她在MTV中大胆的性感出境,经常遭来评论界的冷眼。作为一名乡村歌手,唐恩是第一个以性感取得成功的典范。其代表歌曲有:“What made you say that”(《是什么让你说起那些》),“Any man of mine”(《我的男人》、“You’re still the one”(《你是我的唯一》)等。
据说,Shania在印第安语中的意思是“我在我的路上”,来,让我们随着她的歌声在乡间路上一起摇摆!
