듣기만해도 나도 모르게 엉덩이가 들썩거리게 하는 신나는 노래가 있다.
내겐 이 노래가 그렇다.
1975년 미국에서 결성된 5인조 디스코 밴드인 ‘Wild Cherry’가 1976년 발표해서 
빌보드차트에 18주간 올랐고, 9월 18일부터 3주간이나 1위를 차지했다고 한다.   
수많은 영화에도 배경음악으로도 쓰이고,
(그중 하나, X파일의 히어로 멀더가 외계인잡는 영화 ‘에볼루션’ 거의 마지막부분에 짚차를 타고 달릴 때 흘러나옴)
우리나라의 많은 CF배경음악으로도 쓰였다.
(모 속옷광고에서 이 음악에 맞춰 송혜교가 조금은 어색한 춤을 췄던 기억이…)

30년이 지난 지금 들어도 전혀 손색이 없는 이 노래, 역시 명곡은 시대를 초월한다!

사족 : ‘Wild Cherry’라는 밴드명은 리더인 랍 파리시가 감기약 이름에서 따온 것이라고 한다.
환절기 감기때문에 고생하시는 모든 분들, 감기약 밴드가 선사하는 음악을 듣고 감기 ‘뚝’ 떨어지시길~ 

 

 

Play that funky music                          – sung by Wild Cherry

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin’ in a Rock ‘n Roll band
I never had no problems
Runnin’ down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin’ so low
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show
Yea they were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ’til you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fightin’
Well, losin’ every step of the way
I said I must go back there
And check to see if things still the same
Yea they were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ’til you die

(Lead)

Now first it wasn’t easy
Changin’ rock ‘n roll at Myze
And things were gettin’ shaky
I thought I’d have to leave it behind
But now it’s so much better
I’m funking out in every way
But I’ll never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were singin’ and dancin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ’til you die
