「ハウンド・ドッグ(Hound Dog)」は、エルビス・プレスリー(Elvis Presley)が、1956年に「冷たくしないで (Don't Be Cruel)」のB面として発表した曲です。A面、B面ともにヒット曲となり。「ハウンド・ドッグ」は1956年8月18日に、ビルボードのポップ・チャートの1位を獲得。以後11週連続でその座に留まり、この年の年間ランキングで第1位となりました。
しかし、この曲のオリジナルは、1953年にビッグ・ママ・ソーントン(Big Mama Thornton)が発表した曲で、ビルボードのR&Bチャートで7週連続1位となり、200万枚近くを売り上げた。ソーントンの最大のヒット曲だったそうです。 ちなみに、「ハウンド・ドッグ」とは猟犬のことではなく、当時の黒人のスラングで安っぽいヒモ男の意味であり、ソーントンの歌詞では、 You ain't nothing but a hound dogとなっているますが、 プレスリーは、ヒモ男のことを歌うわけにはいかないので、歌詞を変えて、 You ain't nothin' but a hound dog と歌っています。 ![]() 人気ブログランキングへ 参考にMoMo太郎がDictationした歌詞を載せておきます。 【Big Mama Thorntonの歌詞】 You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' 'round my door You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' 'round my door You can wag your tail But I ain't gon' feed you no more Told me you were high class But I could see through that Yeah, you told me you were high class But I could see through that And daddy, I know You ain't no real cool cat You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' 'round my door You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' 'round my door You can wag your tail But I ain't gon' feed you no more Oh play it now, oh, shake it but don't break Oh, beauty, let her howl Oh, it makes you feel so nice Oh, get 'em, get 'em, get 'em, get 'em, get 'em, get 'em Your hound dog You made me feel so blue You made me weep and moan You made me feel so blue How you made me weep and moan You ain't looking for a woman All you're lookin' is for a home You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' 'round my door You ain't nothing but a hound dog Been snoopin' 'round my door You can wag your tail But I ain't gon' feed you no more And bow-wow to you too 【Elvis Presleyの歌詞】 You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Just cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught no rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well, they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah, you ain't never caught no rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught no rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah, they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Well, you ain't never caught no rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie You know they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah, you ain't never caught no rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught no rabbit You ain't no friend of mine お気に入りの記事を「いいね!」で応援しよう
