前言:
中大獎囉,十大必學放克節奏吉他的壓箱寶,Sex Machine。
大家要知道的是,1970年能夠有這麼跳的吉他節奏真的是前所未見。
就好比Johnny B. Goode此曲一出所帶來的搖滾藍調新潮流,擋也擋不住。
詹姆士與跟團員鮑比的魅力嗓音對唱,
能夠現場重現這首曲子的肯定是少之又少了。

後記:
註釋:
註一、Get on up是指To dance with abandon。查此。
註二、Bridge不是真的橋,是指歌詞中的換個橋段。主歌接副歌的中間過門的橋段。
Boddy是指團員Bobby Byrd,不是圍事。
註三、Hit me俚語,是叫醒我,或算我一個。
註四、Hit it的俚語反而不是叫醒它,而是指來一發?!
註五、Moneymaker這很好懂啊,就是像鋼管女郎用自己的性感賺錢啦。
感想:
這首很明顯就是為了帶熱場子而做的一首歌啦。
真的也沒必要很深入地去探索歌詞。
但深入的好處就是,知道了一些俚語的使用。
這就是所謂的看過去都懂,要翻的時候卻沒把握。
一知半解就是非本國語言翻譯傷腦筋的地方啦。
吉他教學:
又是一首E9和弦的經典運用。就跟Play That Funky Music一樣,初學必學的E9和弦喔!

同好已翻好,內容豐富,只有些微翻譯需要堪誤一下。
