酒吧因?yàn)橐魳范钊烁臃潘缮硇摹Ｓ邢矚g去泡吧的童鞋嗎？今天來介紹一下澳洲酒吧經(jīng)典歌曲。澳洲音樂歷史悠久；如今，澳洲廣播公司旗下的無線電臺(tái)Triple J，則刺激了獨(dú)立另類音樂（電子樂器音響和雜音混成的搖滾樂）的發(fā)展。

The glory days of Aussie music

澳洲音樂的光輝年代

But the 70s and 80s were the glory days of the classic singlet-wearing, iced-beer-drinking, footy-kicking, Australian pub rock: the kind of banging, rousing tunes that make the now-popular pop, alternative and folk tunes look soft.

然而，七八十年代是澳洲酒吧搖滾的光輝年代，穿著背心、喝著啤酒、踢著足球，大家盡情狂歡：與其鏗鏘有力、震撼人心的曲調(diào)相比，時(shí)興的流行樂、另類音樂和民歌小調(diào)都稍顯柔和。

Featuring on many tourism Australia advertisements and deeply connected to the true blue Aussie identity, these songs largely explore working class-Australian lifestyle and the plight of the "Aussie Battler": a function that has largely been superseded by "skip-hop" (Australian Hip Hop).

作為澳洲旅游局宣傳的重點(diǎn)，這些音樂與澳洲藍(lán)領(lǐng)息息相關(guān)，深入探索了澳洲工人階級(jí)的生活方式以及澳洲工薪階層的困境：而現(xiàn)在，這一領(lǐng)域已成為了澳洲嘻哈歌曲的主場。

A working-class tradition

工人階級(jí)傳統(tǒng)

Walk in to any pub in Australia towards the end of a larger night and you can still discover the wonder that these classics hold. Huge men, sometimes still in their flannies, fluoros and Blundstones from work, sway in time and stand in big circles, belting out the perfectly memorised lyrics to "Khe Sanh" by Cold Chisel (which speaks of the culture amongst young Australians during the Vietnam war).

深夜走進(jìn)澳洲任意一間酒吧，你仍能感受到這些經(jīng)典歌曲的魔力。彪形大漢，有時(shí)還穿著工作裝，隨著音樂搖擺，在圍成圈的人群中，一字不差地歡唱著Cold Chisel樂隊(duì)的“Khe Sanh”（這首歌討論了越南戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期澳洲年輕人間的文化現(xiàn)象）。

These Australian classics give Aussies the opportunity to show their love for their mates and their love for the great brown land without explicitly having to state it. It can be quite a novel, laughable sight if you're not a local. There are many of these emotion-stirring staples, and they are far from the AC/DC tracks a foreigner might expect (most of the bands mentioned never reached widespread fame outside of Australia).

透過這些澳洲經(jīng)典歌曲，澳洲人間接表達(dá)了對(duì)同胞及這片土地的深切熱愛。如果你不是本國人，你可能會(huì)覺得很新奇，也很可笑。這些歌曲中，有很多觸動(dòng)人心的主題，而不僅僅局限于外國人所能想到的AC/DC搖滾樂隊(duì)的歌曲。

“Ripper tracks”

十大經(jīng)典

If you want to fit in when it reaches the end of the night and all your mates grip each other's arms for a big group sing along, get comfortable with these ripper tracks:

夜幕降臨，你的小伙伴們彼此緊握手臂，齊聲高歌時(shí)，如果你想更好地融入其中，多聽聽下面這十首經(jīng)典酒吧歌曲吧。

- "Horses" by Daryl Braithwaite

- "Khe Sanh" by Cold Chisel

- "You're the Voice" by John Farnham

- "Down Under" by Men at Work

- "Working-Class Man" by Jimmy Barnes

- "Throw Your Arms Around Me" by Hunters and Collectors

- "The Holy Grail" by Hunters and Collectors

- "Am I Ever Going to See Your Face Again?" by The Angels

- "Boys Light Up'" by Australian Crawl

And last but not least, "Eagle Rock" by Daddy Cool. This track inspires whole pubs to pull down their pants on the dance floor and dance around in your underwear, as the tradition calls for. Now that you know, go out and practice your dance moves!

最后一首，也是很重要的一首，是Daddy Cool樂隊(duì)的”Eagle Rock”。這首歌鼓舞整個(gè)酒吧的人都按照傳統(tǒng)褪去褲子，穿著內(nèi)褲熱舞。讀完這些介紹，走出家門，舞動(dòng)起來吧！
