介绍一支乐队，有兴趣可以听一听。The Lovin’ Spoonful（一勺爱）：1964年成立于格林尼治村。是一支融合了民歌和布鲁斯风格的摇滚乐队。60年代中后期，当其他人都在模仿The beatles的歌路时，他们是为数不多的创作与英国“摩西节拍”相抗衡的美国风格乐队之一。乐队虽然只有一首榜首歌曲（全美排行榜第一名：Summer in the City），但是他们的影响无处不在。乐队的灵魂John Sebastian的老爸是个古典口琴演奏家。他最初为Tim Hardin和一些乐队演奏口琴。乐队其他成员还有：吉他手Zal Yanovsky、鼓手Joe Butler、节奏吉他Steve Boone。1967年，在一次涉及到毒品的事件中，Yanovsky离开了乐队。原Association的制作人、民歌手Jerry Yester接替了他的位置。

这里推荐两首他们的歌：

Daydream
Verse 1:
C                  A7
What a day for a daydream
Dm7                                       G7
[1: What a day  4: Custom-made] for a daydreamin’ boy
C                   A7 [acoustic guitar enters 1st time]
And I’m lost in a daydream
Dm7                  G7
Dreamin’ bout my bundle of joy

Chorus 1:

F             D7/F#             C      A7
And even if time ain’t really on my side
F                  D7/F#               C       A7
It’s one of those days for takin’ a walk outside
F                D7/F#           C          A7
I’m blowin’ the day to take a walk in the sun
G               [C/G]               G7       [C/G]  [electric only]
And fall on my face on somebody’s new-mowed lawn

Verse 2:

I been havin’ a sweet dream
I been dreamin’ since I woke up today
It’s starring me and my sweet dream
‘Cause she’s the one that makes me feel this way

Chorus 2:

And even if time is passin’ me by a lot
I couldn’t care less about the dues you say I’ve got
Tomorrow I’ll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for bein’ a sleepy bull toad

[whistling over verse chords]

Chorus 3:

And you can be sure that if you’re feelin’ right
A daydream will last ’til long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin’ for a thousand years

[repeat verse 1]
