经常会听到猫王的歌声，如果记不起来是哪首的话，记下几句歌词然后google一把，顺手把mp3也找出来（这一步越来越难了）。最近一年已经这样找过三次了：第一次是去年底有一次偶尔看到Pearl台放《Ally Mcbeal》，里面那个新来的小伙子深情的唱猫王那首《Always On My Mind》，这首猫王献给他的爱女的歌也是我最喜欢的一首慢歌（猫王的快歌相对比较好听，个人认为）。第二次是看《Ocean’s Eleven》，里面那帮家伙群聚Las Vegas的时候背景就放的猫王的另一首名曲《A Little Less Conversation》，这首节奏明快的作品还曾经被Nike拿来做足球广告的配乐（就是那个一大堆超级巨星被关在笼子里踢3 vs 3，裁判坎通纳阴险的在上面笑的那个系列）。第三次是看不久前买的MIB1的D9，末尾两个主角开车走隧道，Tommy Lee Jones在车上放的就是猫王翻唱摇滚祖师Chuck Berry的一首《Promised Land》。我印象最深的是这时的对话，Will Smith问：“你知不知道猫王早死啦？”老Tommy回答：“He’s not dead, he’s just go home.”按照MIB的逻辑，这个家伙是ET的可能性还真是不小啊！

Promised Land

by Chuck Berry

I left my home in norfolk virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that greyhound
And rode into raleigh
And on across caroline

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
Halfway across alabam’
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown birmingham

Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Ridin’ across mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans

Somebody help me get out of louisiana
Just to help me get to houston town
There are people there who care a little about me
And they won’t let the poor boy down

Sure as you’re born brought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over alburquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Working on a t-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line

Working on a t-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line

A Little Less Conversation

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
It’s a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

Come on baby I’m tired of talking
Grab your coat and let’s start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don’t procrastinate, don’t articulate
Girl it’s getting late, gettin’ upset waitin’ around

Always on My Mind

by Wayne Thompson – Mark James – Johnny Christopher

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
