Baby, it's cold outside - from OST "Elf"



這是我愛上Zooey歌聲的開始,加上本來就非常喜歡聖誕歌曲,看到這段演出時,覺得Zooey好迷人,她也因為這段演出被影迷詢問有沒有出唱片計畫(當時他說還沒有,但現在已經出第一張專輯),在其他電影演出中也可聽到她唱歌唷!

這首歌原本就是個duet,詞曲是Frank Loesser在1944年寫的,首次由他與妻子在一個housewarming party演唱,女聲角色為老鼠,男聲是狼,男生希望說服女生能留下來並且和他約會,但女生覺得應該回家,但又想留下,歌詞故事大概是如此,歌詞俏皮,旋律也很優美。後來版權賣給MGM,用在電影"Neptune's Daughter,"也為Loesser贏得奧斯卡最佳原創歌曲,後來也不斷的被翻唱,其實歌詞沒有與聖誕節相關內容,但因為場景的設定,讓這首歌曲成為聖誕節的必備歌,也是除了迎接聖誕老人之外,比較不同類型的節日歌曲。

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside


C'mon baby

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside

Brr its cold….
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well…..I really shouldn't...alright

Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again….

Dream a little dream of me - Zooey Deschanel cover


這是我最喜歡的其中一首歌, Doris Day,Louis Armstrong 還有Ella Fitzgerald早先也唱過這首歌, 這次貼的版本是我很喜歡的一位好萊塢演員,也是She & Him主唱-Zooey Deschanel的版本,也滿有味道,聽聽看吧!

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

(instrumental break)

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Katy Perry - I kissed A Girl

我注意她的原因是乍看像我喜歡的女演員Zooey Deschanel(看久又覺得不像,共通點就是大大圓圓的眼睛,深色頭髮,復古風造型),音域相似,但風格非常不同(Zooey也有出CD,下回再介紹)這首歌的歌詞也滿有意思,旋律也不錯,帶點dark side.....

她說這首歌只是表達她的一個好奇心,覺得滿多女生都有這樣的想法,不代表她的性別傾向(她今年好像跟男友訂婚了), 我也一直滿好奇那是什麼感覺,雖然國中高中有親親女同學的臉頰,但是吻在唇上是什麼感覺呢? 好奇....女生的唇應該比較有保養,應該是軟軟嫩嫩的吧!


This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter,
You're my experimental game
Just human nature,
It's not what,
Good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it,

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
