Bill Withers (ビル・ウィザース) - USE ME
いつものように、つけっ放しにしていたTVから、聞き覚えのある声(曲)が・・・それは、、、NISSAN TIIDA のCMで使われていた、 Bill Withers (ビル・ウィザース) - USE ME でした。そういえば、昔はこんな曲も聞いてたなぁ~ ・・・と思い、とりあえず、 Esther Phillips (エスター・フィリップス) や笠井 紀美子 のカバーヴァージョンと聞き比べしてみた。 (暇人 )ちなみに、Isaac Hayes, Al Jarreau, Aaron Neville,Ike & Tina Turner, Fred Wesley など、、、この曲には、数々のカバーヴァージョンが存在します。Bill Withers - Use MeMy friends feel it's their appointed dutyThey keep trying to tell me All you want to do is use meHa, ha, but my answer, ha, ha Yeah, to all that use me stuffIs I wanna spread the news That if it feels this good getting usedOh, you just keep on using me Until you use me up Until you use me upMy brother, sit me right down And he talked to me, ah-haHe told me, ah-ha That I ought not to let you just walk on meAnd I'm sure he meant well Yeah, but when our talk was throughI-I-I said brother, if you only knew You'd wish that you were in my shoesYou just keep on using me Until you use me up Until you use me upOh sometimes, it's true you really do abuse meYou get in a crowd of high class people And then you act real rude to meBut oh baby, baby, baby, baby When you love me I can't get enoughI-I and I, wanna spread the news That if it feels this good getting usedOh, you just keep on using me Until you use me up Until you use me upTalking about you using me But it all depends on what you doIt ain't too bad the way you're using me 'Cause I sure am using you To do the things you doAh-ha, to do the things you doBill Withers / Still BillBill Withers / Just As I AmBill Withers / Best* * * * ** * * * *VA / Atlantic Unearthed: Soul Sisters
