我們都要1234

Feist的〈1234〉到底有多紅呢？

在古早事蹟之前，先談談蒙特婁雙人組Bikini日前發表了新的〈1234〉remix，很夏天，很搖擺，似乎應該去海邊（但我絲毫不想面對正午外頭的豔陽）。這也不禁讓我想起Van She的混音版，再次溫習一下，電力果然足足有到燒壞鎂光燈的瓦數，爽神帶勁的酷炫Electro比Feist原版好聽甚多啊！（抱歉了Feist女神！）

而Van She這組澳洲Modular廠旗下的樂隊，不但曾為無數包括Klaxons、The Teenagers、New Young Pony Club等知名樂隊炮製混音單曲，亦即將於今年八月發表首張專輯《V》，非常令人期待。

回到〈1234〉這首歌，最早是由化名New Buffalo的Sally Seltmann所寫，在與Broken Social Scene、Feist作加拿大巡迴的時候，她鼓起勇氣問Feist想不想唱她寫的歌，Feist聽了非常喜歡於是採用。誰知道日後〈1234〉不但讓Feist獲葛萊美獎提名，還入選滾石雜誌2007百大單曲No.19，並順便得了加拿大Juno Award的2008最佳單曲。

〈1234〉便是收錄在《Reminder》裡：

首先先來聽一下原版的〈1234〉。

因為「1、2、3、4」顯然非常適合幼兒教學，芝麻街美語就找來Feist客串教算術，歌詞也有改編過。但只教到「4」而已稍嫌偷懶耶，哈。

其實這首歌是從iPod Nano廣告才爆紅起來的。

於是美國知名嘲諷時事節目MadTV就竄改了歌詞，大力諷刺蘋果太愛亂推新iPod，非常令人困擾。惡搞歌詞如下：

1, 2, 3, 4, went down to the Apple store, got myself an iPod that I paid $400 for. And just after my purchase was done, those Apple bastards introduced a new one. Oh, ohh - they keep changing the iPod. Oh, ohh - I keep blowing my wad.

2, 4, 6, 8, iPods that are out of date, sold them on an eBay store, made $1.94, oh, ohh - they keep changing the iPod, oh, ohh - gonna kill someone, I swear to God.

3, 4, 5, 6, hundred bucks I laid down quick, bought myself an iPhone, they dropped the price and I got boned! Oh, ohh - they got my money and then, ohh, they screwed me again! They iScrewed me AGAIN! A, B, C, D, I went and bought a plain PC, i know PCs are pretty lame, but at least they'll always stay the same.

〈1234〉也曾被用在澳洲Ebay的廣告上，只不過非常無聊。
