[Song] Radio Ga Ga

 

Radio GaGa by QUEEN

 

Radio I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And ev'rything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio someone still loves you

We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo

Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo

Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?

Someone still loves you

Radio ga ga

Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga

Radio

You had your time you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

 

어린 아들이 라디오를 보고 외친 말에 영감을 받아

드러머 로저 테일러가 작곡한 곡이 "Radio Ga Ga"이다

프랑스인의 피도 섞여 있던 아들이 라디오를 향해 외친말, "Radio Ca Ca!"

(로저 말에 의하면 Ga Ga가 아니라 Ca Ca라고 발음한단다)

얼핏 들은 이야기인데 이 곡을 작곡할 당시에

프레디는 로저에게 새 곡을 쓰라고 하고 있었고

로저는 곡이 나오지 않아 전전긍긍 중이었다고 한다 ㅋㅋㅋ

 

'All we hear is Radio ga ga Radio goo goo Radio ga ga'

라디오 가가하면 이부분을 빼놓을 수 없다

전세계 사람들이 듣기만 하면 손을 뻗어 박수를 친다는 그 부분!!

퀸 콘서트에서의 하나된 관객들은 그야말로 장관이다

몇십년이 지난 지금도 하나된 관객들은 그 동작으로 퀸을 감동시킨다

(그 동작이라하믄 뮤비에 나오니 참고!)

 

덧. "Lady GaGa"는 퀸의 "Radio Ga Ga"에서 따온 이름이라고 한다
