看完電影的我依舊對裡頭的歌曲所散發的魅力與時代感所折服。故找了電影裏頭的演出歌曲作為分享給各位。於夜幕降臨之際適合一個人的時候獨享著,宛如細細品味著越陳越香的高檔飲品。
※均附有歌名歌詞,但後面三首找不到歌詞用自己破爛英文試著翻,故品質粗淺敬請見諒
※以下找的影片內容出自Youtube官網,有些可看影片底下是否有CC字幕!
有興趣的也可在另一篇觀看Ladies of the Chorus 歌舞團的女士們 (熱女郎) 1948 的電影劇情與描述兩位母親觀點的介紹。
開頭是完整版,另一個是電影的表演版本讓我們觀影者認識歌舞團這個職業。
朝氣蓬勃的曲風是我個人最愛的一首。
We're the ladies of the chorus

A great big howdy-do
From the ladies of the chorus
Just for you
一個盛大來自歌舞團的女士們只為你問好
※ howdy-do:也是Hello的用法,即 Howdy,但不建議使用聽起來較稚氣。

※這首歌似乎也對應了佩姬對愛慕著那純粹的愛且初戀少女般跳著雀躍的舞蹈,只為向大眾宣示她被愛慕的悸動。
特別是這首Daddy聽來如同間接暗示著當時的社會背景與無奈,越聽越發詭異的一首歌。

※不知是否與 Tiffany有關:為慶祝小孩子出生時舉行慶典盛宴之意思。也可能指當時未婚媽媽較多,因應當時的社會而無力照顧的孩子就比較多。
※歌詞的第一句就感到詭異,似乎指剛出生的孩子急需有個家、有個父親。
花樣年華的母親梅所唱的一首I'm So Crazy for You,當時梅的愛慕者正準備要求婚,不料此時的她心有所屬了。

※ 俚語 for goodness sake :特別在基督教國家一個人開口隨便稱上帝的名字,很容易得罪人,所以避用 God,而用 goodness。像在美國,很多人不說 Oh, my god! 而說 Oh, my gosh!
※多麼熱情的一首!這首似乎暗示了母親梅與佩姬的父親兩人之後的關係也注定女兒佩姬的到來。

※此首歌不知是否暗示了亞戴兒夫人的過往婚姻與經歷的種種。
