2011 Toyota Avalon Commercial - Train

2011 Toyota Avalon 的廣告，在50 / 60年代復古風格的車站中，人們談論的卻是現代汽車的聲控導航等功能，傳遞了 "comfort is back" 的概念。



前一篇 CITY CAFÉ - 和桂綸鎂一起擺平憤怒鳥事 介紹了 Pomplamoose 唱的 Angry Birds 主題曲，而這篇 2011 Toyota Avalon 廣告中的背景音樂同樣也是 Pomplamoose 的翻唱作品，這首 Mister Sandman 的原始版本則是來自 The Chordettes。兩個版本都好聽，不過我喜歡清新的 Pomplamoose，尤其是 bung bung bung bung 的段落，聽起來很舒服的一首歌。Nataly Dawn 唱起歌來一副古零精怪的樣子，她的大眼睛令人印象深刻 ~

Mister Sandman 的原始版本來自 The Chordettes，於1954年發行。他們是少數能真正代表50/60 年代的聲音，充滿了獨特的復古性。

Mister Sandman　/　The Chordettes

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace

Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
Sp please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us
Please, please, please
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream


"Mr. Sandman" (sometimes rendered as "Mister Sandman") is a popular song written by Pat Ballard which was published in 1954 and first recorded in that year by The Chordettes. The song's lyrics convey a request to "Mr. Sandman" to "bring me a dream," the word "dream" ambiguously referring to a real significant other as well as to a sleeping dream - the traditional association with the folkloric figure, the sandman. The pronoun used to refer to the desired dream is often changed depending on the sex of the singer or group performing the song. Some time later, Ballard also rewrote the lyrics for Christmas use as "Mr. Santa." The chord progression in the chorus follows the circle of fifths for six chords in a row.
