今週の完璧なシングルは１９７５年５月に英国でリリースの「フォックス・オン・ザ・ラン」Ｂ−−ｙスイート。グラム・ロックの発生から最盛期を全速力で駆け抜けた正にスイートなバンドのキラー・シングルです。結成は６０’ｓ末。演奏力はあってもちと作曲能力が無く、レコード会社にいぢられてなかなか成功せず不遇な日々を送っておったその時に出会ったのがグラム界最高の作曲家コンビ、ニッキー・チン＆マイク・チャップマン、息もぴったし相思相愛で数々のヒット曲をとばしました。しかーしいつまでも寄りかかっておっては己の成長は無し。自分達の手で自分達の音楽をしたいぞと研鑽の日々。努力が実って最初の自作シングル「１６トン」の最高位９位の成功を序章として出来ました最高傑作。この業界ヒット出さないと何事も思う通りには出来ません。どうしてこんなスーパーな曲が出来たのか。それまでお世辞にも曲作り上手いとは言えず。どうもやりたいことが多過ぎて字余り字余りって感が。ところがどっこい肝据えてかかったのが功を奏したのか、完璧です。すぐそばヒット・ソングの神様がいてさんざ演奏もして来たんですから落ち着いて考えれば身について無い訳が無し。ハードに責める、皆が喜ぶのその折り合いです。コードはもう簡単。ほぼ３コード。イントロのビコビコビコビコのテクノ予感から大風呂敷びらーで掴みはＯＫ。追い討ちをかけるシンセのフレーズ。同じコード進行のままで落とす序章のメロディ、そのまま見事にリフレインに突入、ドラム連打のキメ、そしてイントロに戻る。２番では元祖クイーン風コーラスが絡み、リフレイン、押さえに抑えたギターソロ、リフレイン、フェイドアウトと全く無駄が無し、アレンジも完璧。この瞬間、名実共にチニ・チャプ超えを果たしました。さー大変なのはこんなすげー曲作っちゃって、今度は超える相手が自分になっちゃった。そりゃもうこれで初めてスイートにやられた人も数多く、こんなのこんなのって期待もかかります。本人達も同様にこんなのこんなのと思ってはいる一方、もうヒット曲はうんざりだって気持ちも同時に有り。１１月にはアメリカでも最高位５位の大ヒット。待望の英米両制覇を果たして思うとおりに出来る環境を獲得。そしてそれを自作からは思い切りやりどんどんハードに。でちょっとだけやらせて貰ったのにそしたら一挙に売上げダウンと。げに悲しきはミュージシャン人生です。私だってフォックス・オン・ザ・ランみたいなのもっとやって欲しかったよ。歌詞も秀逸。とても平易な英語で何を言ってるのか意味はわかる。しかし何を言いたいのかはさっぱしわからんとゆう(^0^)。人それぞれに己の解釈が可能。これはヒットシングルの歌詞の真骨頂だと思います。そしてそれだけに永遠に残るのだお狐さん遁走。最高です。

SORRY,Mistranslation multi.
This week's perfect single is "Fox on the Run" By sweet in Britain in May, 1975 of release. It is a killer single of an exactly sweet band that runs through from the generation of the glam rock at full throttle in the season. The formation is 60's end. Without's having it was and neither possession nor the composition ability, succeeding in the recording label quite, and the misfortune having met at that time when Ca day was spent flew to the performance power a lot of hits by the composer combination and Nikky Chin & mike Chapman and mutual infatuations of breath of gram highest field. There is no growth by yourself when cervine leans. It is every day of study will do our music by our hands. The highest masterpiece to be able to succeed as introductory chapter by effort's bearing fruit in the ninth first rank place in the first self-made single "16 tons". It is not possible to do as thought of what if this industry hit is not put out. Why was such a super tune made?The tune is made in the compliment and it cannot be said it is good till then. It often wants to do very much and the feeling : the character overplus character overplus. But hold on however, it was effective to install Kimo and to have taken or is perfect. The translation is none ..not acquiring.. if it thinks by settling down because it came doing the Mr. sitting performance as there is nearby a god of the hit song soon. It blames hard, and the agreement of that ..pleased with everyone... The code is already easy. Almost three codes. It is rodomontade and the grip is OK from the techno presentiment of Bicobicobicobico of the introduction. Phrase of Shinse that pursues and attack a retreating enemy. Same..code..progress..drop..introductory chapter..melody..as it is..splendid..restraint..rush into..drum..hit repeatedly..introduction..return.The arrangement the queen originator style chorus twines in the second, and without restraint, guitar solo, restraint suppressed to suppression, and a fade-out and complete uselessness is perfect. Name and reality both accomplished the Tini Chap excess at this moment. The other party who exceeds it has this time become me as done serious ｰ makes such a tying tune. Already..for the first time..sweet..do..person..a lot..such..expectation..take.Cheesed also has feelings at the same time by the hit while it is when persons in question also similarly think such. It is a smash hit in the fifth first rank place also in the United States in November. Long-awaited Britain-U.S. both conquest is acquired and the environment that can be done as thought is acquired really. And, do it from making by oneself to one's heart's content and to hardware fast. With making it do and .... sales and the Iccozo down only a little. It is an indeed sad life of ..peel.. musician. Even I wanted you to do more like the Fox on Za orchis. Lyrics are excellent. The meaning is understood. what you say very in plain EnglishHowever ..what wanting is said.. is (^0^) from. Each person can interpret yourself. I think that this is Mahonatada of single lyrics for the hit. Mr. ..remainder.. fox running away only to it and through all eternity. It is the highest.
