Foreigner - Hot Blooded 1978

　
　例によってNY Timesの見出しでIan McDonaldがガンで亡くなったことを知りました。



King Crimsonの初期メンバーで、小生の好きなMcDonald & Giles でも名をはせた人です。知らなかったのですが、のちにForeigerというよりコマーシャルなBandにも参加していたとのこと。この曲だけは７８年アメリカ出張時にCar FMでよく聴いた記憶があります。他愛もない歌詞の中で I got a fever of a hundred and three という部分があって、華氏(Fahrenheit)103度(＝摂氏39.4度)というのが欧米ではヤバイ体温なんだと記憶していました。R.I.P.

Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

You don't have to read my mind,
To know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine,
Let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show?

Now it's up to you,
We can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you,
I'll show you lovin' like you never knew

That's why, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, hot blooded

If it feels alright,
Maybe you can stay all night?
Shall I leave you my key?
But you've got to give me a sign,
Come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama?
You sure look that way to me

Are you old enough?
Will you be ready when I call you bluff?
Is my timing right?
Did you save your love for me tonight?

Yeah I'm hot blooded, check it and see
Feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded, I'm hot

Now it's up to you,
Can we make a secret rendezvous?
Oh, before we do,
You'll have to get away from you know who

Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

Hot blooded, every night
Hot blooded, you're looking so tight
Hot blooded, now you're driving me wild
Hot blooded, I'm so hot for you, child
Hot blooded, I'm a little bit high
Hot blooded, you're a little bit shy
Hot blooded, you're making me sing
Hot blooded, for your sweet sweet thing

Let me lay it on the line = はっきり言わせてもらおう
