這首1963年由Johnny Cymball所演唱的歌曲
把貝斯低音的可愛之處用唱的唱出來了
而由別人演唱的早期美國節目版本也讓我印象深刻

Johnny Cymball - Mr Bass Man
沒想到現在看到的這些人物都已經去世了
實在是太經典所以分享
下面是Johnny Cymbal於1993年的電視節目演唱
聽起來實在像個年輕小夥子一樣,帶點妖氣 :)
歌詞也很棒
說到Mr.Bassman, You're the hidden King of rock and roll
而且要做個Bassman不見得要有把Bass囉 XD
Mr. Bass Man
You've got that certain something
Mr. Bass Man
You set that music thumping
To you, it's easy
When you go one, two, three
Bop bop bop... yeah
Mr. Bass Man
You're on all the songs
With a boom boom boom boom
And a dit dit ba boom boom bom
Hey, Mr. Bass Man
You're the hidden King of rock and roll
Bop bop bop bop...
Oh, it don't mean a thing
When the lead is singing
Or when he goes
Hi yi yi yi yi yi
Hey, Mr. Bass Man
I'm asking just one thing
Will you teach me
Mm yeah, they way you sing
Cause Mr. Bass Man
I wanna be a bass man too
Bop bop bop bop...
Oh, Mr. Bass Man
I think I'm really with it
Boom boom boom boom
And a dit dit dit dit dit
Come on, Mr. Bass Man
Now I'm a bass man too
Bop bop bop bop...
Bum bum bum bum... now you
Bum bum bum bum... with me
Bum bum bum bum...
Oh, it don't mean a thing
When the lead is singing
Or when he goes
Hi yi yi yi yi yi
Hey, Mr. Bass Man
I'm asking just one thing
Will you teach me
Mm yeah, they way you sing
Cause Mr. Bass Man
I wanna be a bass man too
Bop bop bop bop... try this

Oh, Mr. Bass Man

Boom boom boom boom
And a dit dit dit dit dit
Come on, Mr. Bass Man
Now I'm a bass man too
Bop bop bop bop...
Bum bum bum bum... now you
Bum bum bum bum...
You're getting good
Bum bum bum bum...
聽到這個嘴巴唱出貝斯音的旋律
就讓我想到以前上貝斯課的時候
奇哥老師總是會用這樣的方式幫學生記節奏
