AC/DC -- Mistress for Christmas
AC/DC专辑封面
“Mistress for Christmas”是乐队AC/DC在1990年9月21日发行的专辑《The Razors Edge》中的一首歌曲,风格上这是一首硬摇滚曲目,乍一听起来基本没有一丁点圣诞节的音乐元素在其中出现,连经典的圣诞铃声、钟声也没有,反而从歌词内容上看,这首歌只描述了成人(准确地讲是成年男性并有正确性取向)一个非常迫切地圣诞愿望。
歌曲名“Mistress for Christmas”我翻译为圣诞情人,说的是“我”想在圣诞节有一个对象,然后和“她”友好的相处等等圣诞愿望。然而,“Mistress”这个词意思比较俗,如下:

再看一下其中的歌词如:

因此,可以说歌曲的立意就是想表达一位“思想健全”的成年未婚男性的强烈圣诞愿望,这个愿望可能不太纯洁,但却如小孩子般热切。
说完歌词,再来说一下个人听歌后的感受吧,这首歌总的来说还是挺好听的,节奏比起常听的力量金属不算太快,除了吉他、贝司、鼓和歌声,没有其他电子音效(老派摇滚这点还是我很喜欢的),节奏吉他全曲重复着固定的和弦进行,仿佛重复敲响的圣诞钟声,贝司、鼓甚至主音吉他也都是没有过于出彩、中规中矩地进行演奏,如果硬要说特别的那可能就是主唱极富特色的嗓音了,配合着歌词内容带给人一种顽皮老男孩的意景。

----------------------------------
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the day
I just can't wait till christmas time
When I can grope you in the hay
Easy come, easy go
Have a good time with lots of dough
Slippin' up high, slippin' down low
Love'm and leave'm on with the show
Yeah
Alright
Listen, I like female form in minimum dress
Money to spend with a capital s
Get a date with the woman in red
Wanna be in heaven with three in a bed
He got it, I want it
They got it, I can't have it
But I want it, but it don't matter
She got it
And I can't get it
I want a mistress for christmas
I want a mistress for christmas
Oh, yeah
Haha
Yeah
I want a mistress for christmas
Come on
Easy come, easy go
Slippin' high, slippin' low
He got it, I want it
They got it, I can't have it
I want it, don't matter
She got it
And I can't get it
Mistress
He got it, I want it
For christmas
They got it
And I can't have it
Mistress
But I want it, it don't matter
For christmas
She got it
And I can't get a mistress for christmas
You know what I'm talkin' about
Mistress for christmas
You gotta send me down
You gotta send me down
Mistress for christmas
I want the woman in red
With bow in my bed
Mistress for christmas
I can hear you coming down my smoke stack
I wanna ride on your reindeer honey
And ring the bells
