Pet Shop Boys--"Paninaro"

雖然Pet Shop Boys和Depeche Mode以及New Order並列為Synthpop樂風的三大樂團，但我對他們的興趣一向低於後兩團，只對一些特別受歡迎的歌有印象。昨天聽到這首"Paninaro"，莫名地非常吸引我，俗氣的合成器節拍真迷人，MV也很可愛，保存了那我尚無意識活過的時代。



看到資料發現「Paninaro」一詞是描述在義大利的一個次文化現象：一群年輕人開始在一間名稱為Al Panino（英譯：At the Sandwitch）的餐廳聚會，他們反對1980年代初期瀰漫的泛政治風氣、傾慕美國文化、模仿時尚教主的穿著打扮，這裡有對當時流行服飾的介紹，原來鼓鼓的羽絨外套太空衣曾經很夯。

歌詞像是時代的宣言，酷。

(I don't like country and western.
I don't like rock music.
Ehm, I don't like, I don't like rockabilly.
- rock n' roll in particular -
I don't like much, really, do i? [laugh]
But what I do like, I love passionately)

Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh
Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh

You! you're my lover,
You're my hope, you're my dreams, my life
My passion, my love, my sex, my money,
Violence, religion, injustice and death

Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh

Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh
Paninaro, (but what I do like, I love passionately)
Paninaro, oh oh oh
Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh

新版的MV雖然性含意更明顯，但音樂上我還是喜歡舊版的質樸。
