片段1
Mister Cellophane
这个唱段中前奏部分旋律被编舞作为隋文静/韩聪这套节目的开场白。
这是一段诙谐又略带伤感的旋律。Mister Cellophane在原剧中是女主人公丈夫Amos的唱段。中文可以翻译成《透明先生》或《玻璃人》。这一唱段的背景是律师Billy Flynn为了保持住媒体对Roxie Hart的关注度,设计了她怀孕的点子,并找到Amos让他承认自己是孩子的父亲。Roxie成功地成为了媒体的焦点。但是Amos却在被利用后无人理睬,倍感失落的他唱起了这首歌,来自嘲自己如同透明的真空一样被人随意耍弄。
这一唱段的主要音乐元素也出现在了音乐剧的串场音乐中(片段3),隋文静/韩聪的节目中也有采用。
一起来欣赏一下电影版本中这一唱段的情景:(前奏部分不是很明显)
歌词:
If someone stood up in a crowd
And raised his voice up way out loud
And waved his arm and shook his leg
You'd notice him
If someone in the movie show
Yelled "Fire in the second row
This whole place is a powder keg!"
You'd notice him
And even without clucking like a hen
Everyone gets noticed, now and then,
Unless, of course, that personage should be
Invisible, inconsequential me!
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there...
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there...
Suppose you was a little cat
Residin' in a person's flat
Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?
You'd notice him
Suppose you was a woman, wed
And sleepin' in a double bed
Beside one man, for seven years
You'd notice him
A human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
Unless that human bein' next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinguished
You know who...
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there...
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
Never even know I'm there.
Hope I didn't take up too much of your time.
