I was discussing with my friend Kang Kang one night, she said You will never walk alone, after listening to so many versions, no one can beat the Elvis version, I said, yes, I have listened to so many Fever, but the soundtrack is complicated Some, but no one can sing better than Elvis, she said, yes, Elvis sang a song to the end.
Yes, only this Fever can be burned, the others, such as Madonna's version, are just flirting. The first time I heard Fever was in Polanski's "The Bitter Moon". It was the first time I saw such an evil film. It was so beautiful, like a flower of evil, and the plot was so gripping. Admired. In the movie, Mimi, the glamorous heroine played by Polanski's wife, dances to this Fever in the bar of the luxury cruise ship. She is wearing a red tight-fitting short dress. The movement range is not large, but she is very powerful. It can be felt that every muscle movement of her is matched with the electrifying high excitement of the song. Her dance is sexy, powerful, and has a neutral beauty that stirs the heart. Hugh Grant, who plays the hypocritical British gentleman It tickles my heart to see, and finally gets involved in an absurd passion journey. Elvis has an unparalleled voice, you can recognize him as soon as you hear it, and Mimi's Dance is Fever's most appropriate MV.
Speaking of which, Polanski is also Leslie Cheung's favorite director. He once said when he was young: "Each of Polanski's films is so desolate and dark, but it gives people different feelings, and each film has breakthroughs. "Bitter Moon" is also a hopeless love story, but after reading it, I did not despair because of it, at least it made people understand that love based on sex cannot last forever, and the emptiness in one's heart is also the source of any love. What is irreparable, love cannot save a dry soul; in order to obtain the rain of love, the soul must first go out of the "wilderness".
Back to Elvis and Leslie Cheung. It is said that some foreigners once commented on my brother as "Elvis Presley in Hong Kong". According to Lai Xiaotian, he did instruct his brother with Elvis Presley's singing. This kind of singing not only has the charm of a gloomy bass, but more importantly, it integrates and interprets the song with a deep emotion. In Kangkang's words, listening to Elvis sing, you feel that he is singing to you. It is a communication of voice and emotion. Listening to Leslie Cheung's songs has the same effect. If you don't believe me, you can listen to "Heating" with headphones. He also sang a few Elvis songs in the early days, and some of them were adapted into Cantonese versions, such as "Love Comes Again" from "Are You Lonesome Tonight" - which is obviously a very clever approach. Of course, my brother is by no means a copy of Elvis. He has his own characteristics that are difficult to copy, especially in the later stages, such as the style, enchanting, and lazy in "Red", which Elvis does not have and no one else can learn. The arrangement of this Fever is extremely simple, but it has a sense of rhythm. Elvis has grasped the musical rhythm of the sound itself. Leslie Cheung also sings with this precise sense of rhythm. You observe the MV of "Hot and Spicy", and my brother beats the beat with his hands. You can compare the singing of current singers. For example, listening to Jolin Tsai's English cover album last year, it is obvious that the orchestration has a rhythm. She no sound.
Fever
Voice: Elvis Presley
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
because I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said 'Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou givest fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever I'm afire
Fever yea I burn for sooth'
Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said 'Daddy, o, don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses,
Oh daddy, won' t you treat him right'
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
