猴岛小英雄Monkey Island

小记：与亲爱的杲哥共同创作，词曲完成于2010年7月。杲哥很早就跟我说过co-writing这个概念，于是我就把多年前没有发展下去的一些灵感小段子发给了他。杲哥有一天Q我说：我写了一首歌，根据你给我的一条灵感发展出来的。结果我完全没有听出一点我的旋律的痕迹，直到杲哥告诉我是副歌用了我一条叫做“6m-4m”的灵感，我才勉强听出来。后来我坚持让杲哥保持我那条旋律的原貌并沿用我最初设计的小调和弦。主歌和Pre-chorus的旋律是杲哥新写的，我做了一些Variation，就成了现在的样子。
歌词方面，灵感源于我大学时玩的一款游戏——Monkey Island（猴岛小英雄）。我是一个从来不玩游戏的人，凡是需要同时控制3个按键以上的游戏我都玩不来。爱上这款游戏是因为当时宿舍老三在玩（当时玩的是猴岛3——猴岛的诅咒）。我看这个游戏不需要很激烈的操作，只是解谜探险，而且里面的音乐和对话也很有意思，还能顺便学英语，就开始自己玩，后来居然看着攻略通宵把这个游戏给打通关了。欢快的班卓琴声和海盗论剑时机智的insult，相信每个MI迷都会津津乐道吧。本来没想过把歌词写成英文的，只因杲哥之前的demo是他自己瞎唱了一个空洞的英文词让我修改，结果我也就顺着用英文写了。Verse 3和Pre-chorus 3这两段歌词保留了杲哥的原词。

特别感谢两位我很欣赏的女歌手米笑尔（Michelle）和Melodia献声给Elaine配音，感谢木村蚂蚱友情混音！

Verse 1
oh girl there's something about you
that makes me 六神无主
everytime you're calling me dude
it's like an ancient déjà vu

Pre-Chorus 1
baby I’m your knight
as the scroll describes
save you from the pirates undo the curse of M.I.
the voodoo lady’s advice seems so right
but too right
is it another lie
in disguise

Chorus 1
sail before the night falls
guided by the lighthouse
the fate of mine is left in such a mystery
they say once you go M.I. no one’s ever come back

Verse 2
gotta find out where you are kept
solve the puzzle decode the trap
locked behind bars still there you are
feed the puppy with all I got
never stops till he throws up
that good boy will spit the key

Pre-chorus 2
hop on board with me
baby now it’s time to leave
all we need is speed better start the engine ASAP
the canon almost crashed our boat
it was so close
I heard the pirate shout
“You’re so dead!”

Chorus 2
every pirate drinks rum
I’ll beat them with a banjo with mighty sound
I will defy even the mightest insult
like I never choke in a Hip-Hop battle Yo

Verse 3
don't wanna twist and shout
I don't wanna get a lot of sound
somebody’s calling me dude
gotta think about the things they say
reminisce the sins we did
back to the days when we

Pre-chorus 2
listen to the songs
in the morning light
every word you sing
making me feel so right
suddenly I found some is wrong
it’s all wrong
I left the treasure chest
in pirate’s hatch

Guybrush和elaine顺利逃出monkey island
但是突然发现财宝落在LeChuck的船舱里
Elaine抓狂
画外音
Elaine: Guybrush! How can you forget the treasure chest?!!! How dare you?!由怒转悲 How’re we supposed to live? I already lost my governor’s job!
Guybrush：Honey don't’ cry! I think I can make our own living anyway
于是Guybrush来到马戏团打工

Chorus 3
every circus needs the clown
living like a king uncrowned
life after M.I. is filled with all my magic
will never let you and the kidos down
