是Lil Nas X演唱的一首歌曲,发行于2018年12月3日,取得了Billboard Hot 100冠军。
这首带有Country Trap风格的旋律嘻哈歌曲虽然本就是美国听众最为喜爱的音乐风格之一,而那种“有钱后叫你高攀不起”的精神世界也是Hip-Hop歌曲颇为常见的歌词手法,所以,《Old Town Road》的独特之处并不在这里。稍加注意,你会发现,这首歌曲中有着非常洗脑的旋律,以上下两句呼应的句式不断重复,动机很少,非常容易记住。另一方面,这首歌总的时长只有两分钟左右,稍长的Remix版也只有两分半钟。事实上,即使你把这首歌的时长缩减到15秒,它也能充分地展现出其中的大部分音乐动机。
这一切的特征令人想起一个名词:“抖音神曲”。
而事实上,这首《Old Town Road》还真的就是一首实打实的美国抖音神曲。在抖音的海外版“Tik Tok”上,这首歌获得了难以置信的巨大流量,刚上传不久就获得了超过11万次的使用(与男声版的《空空如也》大致相等)。而收听量就更是不计其数。这首歌在Tik Tok上走红之后,歌手Lil Nas X被哥伦比亚唱片签下,但在歌曲发布时,他还只是一个真正的网络素人。
Old Town Road歌词:
I never haunt don't not go don't go
I got
Yeah I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride till I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna kio ride kio till I can't no more
I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match
Ridin' on a horse ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off the porch now
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Ridin' on a tractor
Lean all in my bladder
Cheated on my baby
You can go and ask her
My life is a movie
Bull ridin' and boobies
Cowboy hat from Gucci
Wrangler on my booty
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Yeah I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride till I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride till I can't no more
I got the
