Pulp的名作Disco 2000我只听过三个翻唱版本，印象都颇深刻。当年Pulp走红的时候，我听到的第一个翻唱版本竟然是老狼。那时候我带他和小朴去重庆演出，在一个非正式的乐迷见面会上，老狼说想翻唱一首歌，而且还带了伴奏CD，我实在没想到会是Disco 2000。老狼说他在香港逛唱片店的时候碰巧见到这个伴奏，便买下来预谋在演出的时候也Britpop一把。说实话，老狼的版本很好，或者说我听他唱这样的歌的时候，我依稀可以看到他熟练的舞台表演中的那份难得的冲动与兴奋，或者说我在那一刻看到的竟然是大学时代血脉喷张的摇滚老狼。
第二个版本是我的Newbees旗下专辑没发表就解散的NC在现场的翻唱版本，张霁苏瘦高而有点病态的身形在舞台上真的象极了Jarvis Cocker，不过NC并没有对作品的音乐部分进行改编，只是依照原作排练。
但是Nick Cave的这个版本我第一次听的时候真是大跌眼镜。老Nick把Disco 2000改成了八六拍，将一个有关成长的伤感故事唱多了几份世纪末的悲凉。
Well we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya
Oh they thought that when we grew up
we’d get married, and never split up
We never did it, although often I thought of it
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
* Your house was very small
with wood chip on the wall
When I came around to call
you didn’t notice me at all
I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown
Be there at 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you’d get married
I would be living down here on my own on
that damp and lonely Thursday years ago *
You were the first girl at school to get breasts
Martyn said that yours were the best
The boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends but that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
oh it meant nothing to you,
cos you were so popular
Deborah do you recall?
Repeat *
Oh yeah…
Ah do you recall?
Repeat *
Oh what are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Oh……

嗯~~pulp是早期英式里我最喜欢的一支~
不过我还是最喜欢他们极其拧巴的那首《This is hardcore》。呵~
老Nick的版本也蛮不错的。
