【看】Jonathan Coulton

好聽歌一枚。

早上看了則網路新聞，內容如下：

小卒變巨星　寇登為女兒棄高薪當網路歌手　圓了音樂夢
更新日期:2007/10/09 10:26 記者:記者王一如、唐偉捷／紐約報導

三十六歲的Jonathan Coulton看起來不修邊幅，卻已經從網路發跡成為巨星歌手，
他自己作詞作曲，創作發表在網路上的歌曲，還榮登了紐約郵報票選第二名最受歡迎單曲，而且在他的部落格裡，還擁有好幾萬名的粉絲，願意付錢下載他的創作歌曲，談到當初放棄軟體工程師的高薪工作，轉行做網路歌手的心路歷程，他說，是女兒的出生，改變了他的一切。

Jonathan Coulton表示，「你知道有了孩子，真的在很大的程度上會改變，你當然會改變你的選擇，在2005年我女兒出生了，這是我第一個孩子，我花了3個禮拜的時間和妻子、女兒在一起，到我該回去工作時，我真的、真的不想回去工作。」

上Youtube搜尋了一下，很快就找到了這首好聽的歌。
因為隱約記得這旋律在鯊魚黑幫裡出現過，
也實在喜歡這個曲子，所以又多花了點時間找了會兒歌詞：

Baby Got Back

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy

I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's Sweat,Wet, got it goin like a turbo vette

I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back

(LA face with Oakland booty)

I like'em round and big
And when I'm throwin a gig
I just can't help myself
I'm actin like an animal
Now here's my scandal

I wanna get you home
And UH, double up UH UH
I aint talkin bout playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys
I wannem real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mixalot's in trouble
Beggin for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knockin these bimbos walkin like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas
I wanna get with ya
I won't cus or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna --
Til the break of dawn
Baby Got it goin on
Alot of pimps won't like this song
Cuz them punks lie to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm long and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on

So ladies (yeah), Ladies (yeah)
Do you wanna roll in my Mercedes (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

(LA face with the Oakland booty)

還不錯，是會讓我上癮的調調。
好聽的歌和活得相當精彩的Jonathan Coulton，令人忍不住為之喝采。

最後須一提的是，
音樂是一種很妙的東西，影像也是，
在尋找歌詞的過程中，意外找到這段影片，
同一首歌，不同的編曲，全然不同的味道。
