【簡介】
Doc Pomus 和Mort Shuman合作為貓王Elvis Presley寫了二十五首歌,“Suspicion” 是其中之一,於1962年收錄於Pot Luck專輯內(B面第二首)。
二年後,聲音與貓王相似的Terry Stafford翻唱,配上女子合音,加入輕快的小喇叭襯托貝斯旋律,效果更為明亮悅耳,引人注意。這個版本獲得1964年美國排行榜第三名,和英美國單曲排行榜第三十一名。(譯自)Wikipedia
【心語】
翻唱能夠打敗原唱,已屬不易,而且對手居然是人氣旺盛的世界超級巨星 - 貓王,不禁張口結舌,大為意外,當時想必跌破不少專家眼鏡。
兩個版本我都喜歡,各有勝場,活潑的貝斯旋律和輕快的節奏,尤其是獨特的橋段安排,讓我為之著迷。
可是快樂節奏,與懷疑劈腿的煩惱心理狀態,好像不太符合情境?
管他,今朝有酒今朝醉,先唱好歌過瘾,明天才為鎖碎雜事煩惱! 情場老手的貓王左擁右抱,那在乎其中有人三心二意。別忘了,女人常耍心機手段,欲擒故縱。
人生如戲,戲如人生。你敢說不是?
塞翁失馬,焉知非福。
莫自尋煩惱,就能保持快樂的心。

D Em
Every time you kiss me I’m still not certain that you love me.
Em D
Every time you hold me I’m still not certain that you care.
D Em
Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me.
Em D
Do you speak the same words to someone else when I’m not there?
CHORUS:
Bm D
Suspicion...torments my heart..
Bm D
Suspicion....keeps us apart..
Bm A A7
Suspicion...why torture me?
#2.
D Em
Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow.
Em D
I can’t help but think that you’re meeting someone else tonight.
D Em
Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?
Em D
Why am I so doubtful whenever you are out of sight?
CHORUS:
#3.
D Em
Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer.
Em D
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind.
D Em
Why can't our romance just keep on growing stronger?
Em D
Maybe I’m suspicious cause true love is so hard to find.
CHORUS:
