《Al Capone》是迈克尔杰克逊演唱的一首歌曲,收录于2012年发行的《BAD.25th.Anniversary》专辑中。
“《阿尔·卡彭》有多像《犯罪高手》(Smooth Criminal),《街头流莺》(Streetwalker)就有多像《危险》(Dangerous)。”(也没那么像吧。)两种情况都是杰克逊选了自己喜欢的元素,改造成全新的东西,这是杰克逊才华、耐心和职业道德的证明。尽管这个早期版本有很好的潜力(杰克逊的许多同辈人很可能就发行了),但他坚持制作,唱出了不朽经典《犯罪高手》。这支样带证明了杰克逊写好听副歌的高超技巧。听过一遍,那些用假声唱的和声就在脑海里不停回放了。
马特·佛格:“这个例子展示了一首歌的一部分是如何启发这首歌的另一个版本。迈克尔多次这么做,他会想着一首歌,从中提炼出概念、歌词或旋律。《阿尔·卡彭》的低音部分 —— 你能听出它是怎么变成《犯罪高手》的。帮匪主题贯穿始终 —— 尽管跟一个特定历史人物不太相关,更多是讲一个情景和故事。你能听到迈克尔尝试这种他后来使用的断音、快速唱词技巧。”
Why did you let him get away
After the staring what did you see
Shooting me bullets, cold as ice
Screamed in my face then put it back.
She shot us, firing down, he's in
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get her
Too bad, forget it
'Cause there's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
'Cause the mad man's out tonight
Chorus *2
Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her about us
The girl was sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way
Why did you let him get away
After the staring what did you see
Shooting me bullets, cold as ice
Screamed in my face then put it back
She shot us, firing down, he's in
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get her
Too bad, forget it
'Cause there's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
And I told her out tonight
Chorus *2
Too bad, forget it
'Cause there's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
Cause the man is out tonight
Chorus *4
Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her about us
The girl was sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way
Why did you let him get away
After the staring what did you see
Shooting me bullets, cold as ice
Screamed in my face then put it back
She shot us, firing down, he's in
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get away
