Payphone
公衆電話って、最近見かけなくなりましたね。災害などの非常事態が発生した時には繋がりやすくて便利みたいですが、平常時は携帯があれば公衆電話から小銭でかける需要がないので撤去されたところが多いみたいです。マルーン5のペイ・フォンは2012年リリースの曲で、その当時まだ公衆電話はよくみかけるものだったのでしょうか。この曲、フラれた男が元カノに愚痴ってる歌なんですが、なぜかPVがハードボイルドなアクションものなんで、『どういう意味?』みたいに物議を醸し出したようなんです。制作にはハリウッドの大作映画のような多額の予算が投じられたとのこと。マルーン5のアダム・レヴィーンが当時つきあってた彼女に振られた鬱憤を晴らすために、『俺はこんなに好きだったんだぜ。』的なやけっぱちアクションものにしたとかいう話もありました。歌の中で、楽園でさえ太陽は沈むんだな(But even the sun sets in paradise)って表現、好きです。チャチャ踊れます。Payphone (Maroon5 ft.
