美國創作才女[蘇珊薇格]──另類搖滾/成人另類流行──[No Cheap Thrill/沒有廉價的刺激]
Ante up. And dont be shy.
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
Whats underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
Lamebrain Pete wants to Spit in the Sea.
Hes got a cool hand but it isnt for me.
Butcher Boy thinks hell be splitting the pot.
But Ive seen what hes got and it isnt a lot.
(When deuces are wild you can follow the queen.
Id go too except I know where shes been.)
Ill see you, Ill call you, Ill raise you
But its no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
I limit the straddles, and you shuffle and deal.
When will the dealer reveal how he feels?
Is the lucky beginner just a five-card stud?
Is this winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?
Ill see you, Ill call you, Ill raise you
But its no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
Ill match you, Ill bet you, Ill play you,
But its no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.
1996年9月,37歲的美國創作歌手蘇珊薇格(Suzanne Vega)推出第五張大碟[Nine Objects of Desire/九個慾望對象](A&M唱片發行)
由由她當時丈夫Mitchell Froom製作.
蘇珊創作所有歌曲(除三首與丈夫合寫).
與它的前身非常相似,[Nine Objects of Desire]將實驗性的樂器和編曲融入薇格的標誌性聲音中。
此外也加入爵士樂元素。樂評良好.
大碟登上美國告示牌專輯榜#92,英國#43.法國#25
德國#43.
比利時法語區#13+比利時荷語區#42
芬蘭#20.瑞士#23.挪威#24.奧地利#25.瑞典#39.荷蘭#93
1996年11月,蘇珊推出大碟第二單曲[No Cheap Thrill/沒有廉價的刺激].
薇格創作,她將其描述為「一首使用賭博語言講述浪漫的歌曲」。
Mitchell Froom製作成一首另類搖滾/成人另類流行.
編曲頗富變化,主歌製作搖曳,副歌節奏強勁.獲得好評.
《告示牌》的Larry Flick認為這是專輯中的「閃光時刻」。
「薇格的歌聲被縫進短而直接的搖滾節拍中,邊緣被粗糙的吉他和氛圍鍵盤磨損了。
一直以來,這首歌明亮而充滿活力的勾子抓住耳朵,永遠不會讓我們失望。
泛歐洲雜誌《Music & Media》將其描述為「一首優秀的中速曲目,具有足夠的廣播吸引力」。
他們稱讚Froom「通過引入節奏變化、奇怪的背景材料並為她柔和的聲音提供良好的基礎,使薇格的民謠感覺多樣化」。
[No Cheap Thrill]並未打入美國告示牌單曲榜,
但拿到副榜──成人另類播放榜#12
另拿到英國單曲榜#40,澳洲#122.
