I'm here showing Mr. Kyle how to write a hit.
我在這裡秀給Kyle先生看如何寫暢銷歌曲。
Hmm.
嗯哼。
I'm giving hit lessons.
我在上暢銷歌曲課。
Dave!
Dave!
Yup.
嗯。
There's one thing I remind about you...
我記得有件關於你的事情...
Hmm...
嗯...
...ability to churn out the hits.
...寫出暢銷歌曲的能力。
And you said to me one time, and I'll never forget this: "I only write hits." And I thought you know what? That's true.
然後，有一次你對我說啊，而我一輩子都不會忘記這個：「我只寫暢銷歌曲。」然後呢我想啊，你知道嗎？那還真是對的。
Yeah, I ain't lying. Because you know what, the deep cuts don't f**king keep the mansion...running? Keep it...keep the mansion running!
對啊，我沒騙人。因為你知道，意義深遠的非主流歌曲他X的就是沒辦法讓豪宅...運作？讓它...讓豪宅運作(在這比喻賺錢)!
That's the deal, you know? Here's the thing, it's most white people dance to the lyrics. So here is what you gotta do. It's write some like heartfelt, don't write it...don't write it. Don't think about a groove. Something like a... Think about it like it's a bumper sticker. Okay. You know? Life's a bitch!
就是那麼一回事，你知道嗎？重點來了，大部分白人會隨歌詞起舞。所以這就是你得做的。寫一些像是真心誠懇的--別寫那...別寫那...別想著旋律。某種東西像是...把它想像成一張保險桿的貼紙。你知道嗎？人生不如意!
Life's a bitch!
Life's a bitch!
Life's a bitch!
Life's a bitch, but keep on trucking!
Life's a bitch, but keep on trucking!
人生不如意!
人生不如意!
人生不如意!
人生不如意，但繼續努力!
人生不如意，但繼續努力!
So that's what you do: you've got a payoff, the chorus.
所以就是那樣：你已經有了一段高潮，副歌。
Yeah!
耶!
You start with the riff, because that's gonna be the most recognizable part of the song. Right?
你從旋律重複段開始，因為那是這首歌最好認的部分。對吧？
And then...but you don't say it... Maybe you don't say it...
然後...但你不用說出來...也許你不說出來...
Life's a bitch, it always has been, I'm a f**king guy who was a has-been...
人生不如意，一向如此，我曾是個他X的過時男人...
But now I'm a big star, got a f**king car, got a bumper sticker on the back, it says,
但現在我是個大明星，有輛他X的車，在後面有張保險桿貼紙，上面說：
Life's a bitch!
Life's a bitch!
Life's a bitch!
Life's a bitch, but keep on trucking!
人生不如意!
人生不如意!
人生不如意!
人生不如意，但繼續努力!
Then breakdown the verse, Yeah, and then you... And you don't even need to like change the way the chords are, you just change what you say... You don't even... You neither... I'll tell you. You know who writes the hits? Aerosmith writes the hits.
然後拆開主歌，對，然後你...然後你甚至不用像是改變和絃進行的方式，你只要修改歌詞...你甚至不...你也不...我告訴你。你知道誰寫暢銷歌曲嗎？「史密斯飛船」寫暢銷歌曲。
You know how they do it? They say they farm them out, dude.
你知道他們怎麼做到的嗎？他們說是外包的，老兄。
Well, it's the thing. Listen to any of those songs. It begins with the chorus. The song is all chorus!
嗯，是這樣的。聽聽任何一首那些(史密斯飛船的)歌。它是由副歌開始的。整首歌都是副歌!
"Love in an Elevator," what's the verse to that song? There isn't one! It's "Love in an Elevator."
《Love in an Elevator》，那首歌的主歌是啥？沒有主歌!那是《Love in an Elevator》。
"Janie's Got a Gun." Well, how does it start? Janie's got a gun. Yeah!
《Janie's Got a Gun》。嗯，從哪開始的？Janie's got a gun。對耶!
Damn, you're right!
哇靠，你是對的!
That's right. So it's chorus, chorus, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, kind of... chorus, pre-chorus, chorus, chorus, chorus, finale chorus.
沒錯。所以它是副歌、副歌、導歌、副歌、主歌，之類的...副歌、導歌、副歌、副歌、副歌、完結副歌。
It's all chorus! Don't bore us. Get to the chorus.
全都是副歌!別無聊了。直接進副歌。
Don't bore us. Get to the chorus. Hit lessons.
別無聊。直接進副歌。暢銷歌曲課。
You know what? We did it. We Kicked It Out with Dr. G. I have learned more in these seven minutes than I have the entire weekend.
你知道嗎？我們做到了。我們《Kicked It Out with Dr. G(作者部落格名稱)》。我在這七分鐘學到的比整個周末還多。
