我和安德鲁在一起的时候
When I was with Andrew
我们下定决心要度过一段美好的时光
we were absolutely determined to have a fantastic time
威猛乐队代表着兄弟情谊
Wham! was a brotherhood. –
轻松顽皮
It was playful
是一种来自人类本质的 无法预料的混乱
A human, unpredictable mess
什么事都是个乐子
All of it was pop
威猛乐队准备至死都是少年
And Wham! was never gonna grow up
那就像是一场梦 真的
It was like a dream, really
因为那时我们还是孩子
since we were kids
但当时
But at the time
所有人都在说
everyone’s like
“这两个笨蛋是怎么火起来的？”
“How can these two idiots become so bloody massive?”
“怎么会发生这种事？”
“How does that happen?”

乔治 你能告诉我们 你和安德鲁是怎么走到一起的吗？
George, can you just tell us how you and Andrew got together?
基本上就是 我11岁时在北伦敦
Uh, basically, we met when I was 11 and Andrew was 12
认识了12岁的安德鲁
in North London
我去新学校的
The first day
第一天就认识了安德鲁
that I got to my new school, I met Andrew
我们的仪态教练 带进来一个新来的男孩
Our form tutor walked in with a new boy
他戴着那么大的框架眼镜
He had these sodding great big window-frame glasses
我当时非常格格不入
And I was very awkward
是个有些肉乎乎 长相很奇怪的家伙
Slightly porky, very strange-looking bloke
头发非常卷翘
Very curly big bonce of hair
而且很害羞
And quite shy
我们的老师介绍他的名字是 乔治斯帕纳约图
Our teacher introduced him as Georgios Panayiotou
乔治斯基里亚科斯帕纳约图 没错
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, that’s it
“谁来照顾新来的这个男孩？”
“Who’s going to look after the new boy?”
安德鲁举起了手
Andrew put up his hand
我真的相信这是命中注定的相遇
I genuinely believe that there’s something predestined about it
如果我那天坐在其他人身边的话
I mean, the path might have been totally different
我们有可能会过上全然不同的人生
had I sat down next to someone else that day
对我来说 他是约格 那是我给他起的绰号♥
For me, he was Yog. It was the nickname I’d given him
我们之间有一种羁绊 真的
There was such a bond there, really
基本上 我和约格有着相同的三观
Essentially, Yog and I saw things exactly the same way
在音乐上 我们密不可分 形影不离
Musically, we were joined at the hip
我们会花几个小时做小品编排 并制♥作♥喜剧广播节目
We’d spend hours doing skits and putting together comedy radio shows
…写歌♥ 然后在我们俩大约16岁时 我们成立了一个乐队
…writing songs, and then we started a band when we were both about 16
我们当时叫执行官乐队
We were the Executive
执行官乐队
Uh, the Executive
一、二、 三、四 五、六、七、八！
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
（1979年执行官乐队小样及排练）
那是斯卡音乐风格
It was ska music
总的来说 我们的水平很糟糕 ！
and we were terrible, basically!
对于16岁的人来说不算差
Uh, we weren’t bad for 16
好了 混♥蛋♥们 第三遍！
Okay, wankers, third time!
是啊 我们五个人基本上 在所需的乐器上都能露一手
The five of us just about covered everything that we needed instrument-wise
重复！
Come back, Andrew!
一年之后就失败了
Fizzled out after a year
因为成员们不来练习 也不去演出
as people didn’t turn up for practices or concerts or whatever
我不会说那个乐队失败了
I wouldn’t say it fizzled out
更像是自己内爆了 就剩下我和约格
It rather more imploded, and that just left me and Yog
只是我们两个人
It was just gonna be us two
我们会继续一起写歌♥
And we would just carry on writing songs together
我们会去伦敦西区跳舞
And we’d go out dancing in London’s West End
我们会去一家叫节拍路线的夜店
And we went to a club called the Beat Route
我们会一起跳一种编队舞
We were kinda doing this, like, formation dance
然后一起快乐大笑
and having a laugh
安迪开始大吼“威猛无敌”
Andy started shouting something about “wham, bam” and all this, you know?
然后我就开始接着说唱了下去
So I just started rapping
“威猛无敌 我顶天立地”
“Wham, bam, I am the man.”
我们觉得这是个不错的组合名称
We thought that’d be a good name for a group
威猛！
Wham!
这名字就这样被保留了下来
And it stuck
♪ I really don’t know much better… ♪
那时我只想做一件事
And there was only ever one thing that I wanted to do
就是和约格一起组建一支乐队
Be in a band with Yog
我和安德鲁对编写朗朗上口的小歌♥ 已经有了自己的诀窍
Andrew and I had developed a knack for writing these catchy songs
我们在安德鲁家的前厅 花20英镑录了一个小样
We did a demo tape for £20 in Andrew’s front room
我们把麦克风绑在扫帚上
We had, like, a broom with a microphone tied to it
还有一个1970年代末期刚出现的
and one of those little four-track portastudios
小型四轨移♥动♥磁带录音机
that had just come out at the end of the ’70s
纵享欢乐 尽情狂欢
♪ I said get, get, get on down ♪
纵享欢乐 尽情狂欢
♪ I said get, get, get on down ♪
当时我们只有17岁或18岁
You know, we were all 17 or 18
词曲创作取决于我们的境况
The songwriting was dictated by our circumstances
和我们周围的环境
the environment around us
当时抗♥议♥游♥行♥遍布全国
Protests throughout the country
16岁到18岁人口的失业率飙升
The rocketing rise of unemployment among 16- to 18-year-olds
我们将说唱与迪斯科融合在一起 然后加入了流行音乐风格
We were fusing rap with disco, and then we added pop
一种带有迪斯科伴奏 反应社会现状的歌♥曲
A social lyric to a disco backing
嘿 大家都看过来
♪ Hey, everybody, take a look at me ♪
我有自己的风格特色
♪ I’ve got street credibility ♪
我可能没有正式工作 但我过得很快乐
♪ I may not have a job But I have a good time ♪
和我认识的兄弟们…
♪ With the boys that I meet Down on the line… ♪
围绕着我在一家夜店 唱过的愚蠢小调
The silly chant that I’d been singing at one of the clubs
我们写了一首 叫做《威猛轻敲》的歌♥曲
we wrote the song “Wham Rap!” around it
威猛无敌 我顶天立地
♪ Wham, bam, I am a man ♪
从那时开始 我们就一直在写歌♥
We just kept writing songs from there
我和约格从我们的夜店生活中 吸取灵感
Yog and I drew on our clubbing experiences
《热带俱乐部》 描写的就是节拍路线夜店
“Club Tropicana” was written about the Beat Route
在热带俱乐部 酒水免费…
♪ Club Tropicana, drinks are free… ♪
这首歌♥当时我们只有一段歌♥词 和一段和♥弦♥
We only had a verse and a chorus for that track
约格有天晚上来到我家
Yog came round to my house one evening
当时我一直在研究 一段我很喜欢的和♥弦♥进行
and I’d been working on a chord progression that I really liked
那真的很棒 因为他说
It was amazing because he said
“我有一段旋律可以完美配上 那段和旋进行”
“I’ve got a melody that fits over that chord progression perfectly.”
我俩想出的和♥弦♥曲调竟然差不太多
We’d come up with roughly the same chord pattern
当我再次跌倒…
