胜利之歌

富于美国主旋律色彩的人物传记片。描述百老汇音乐家GeorgeM.Cohan（1878－1942）的生平。英文片名“YankeeDoodleDandy”和Cohan所谱名曲“TheYankeeDoodleBoy”有关。主演JamesCagney获当年奥斯卡最佳男主角奖，其表演名列《首映》杂志所选“所有时代的百个伟大表演”的第六位。爱国激情、父子亲情、温馨爱情等皆在片中得到恰如其分的反映。片尾主人公唱着自己写的歌《OverThere》加入巡游队伍一幕，令我不禁与片中的Cohan一样热泪盈眶。电影中所有的歌曲皆悦耳动人，喜欢百老汇怀旧老歌的朋友不容错过！此片当年共获包括最佳电影在内的八项奥斯卡提名，最终获奖三项，分别是：最佳男主角，最佳配乐及最佳声效。（PS：此片掌镜者乃曾获奥斯卡奖的美籍华人摄影师黄宗沾。）附“TheYankeeDoodleBoy”歌词及“OverThere”歌词：“TheYankeeDoodleBoy”WordsandMusicByGeorgeM.CohanImthekidthatsallthecandy,ImaYankeeDoodleDandy,ImgladIam,SosUncleSam!ImarealliveYankeeDoodle,Mademynameandfameandboodle,JustlikeMisterDoodledid,Byridingonapony.IlovetolistentotheDixiestrain,IlongtoseethegirlIleftbehindme;Andthataintajosh,ShesaYankee,bygosh!Oh,saycanyousee,AnythingaboutaYankeethatisphoney?ImaYankeeDoodleDandy,AYankeeDoodle,doordie;AreallivenephewofmyUncleSams,BornontheFourthofJuly.IvegotaYankeeDoodlesweetheart,ShesmyYankeeDoodlejoy.YankeeDoodlecametoLondon,Justtoridetheponies,IamtheYankeeDoodleBoy.FathersnamewasHezikiah,MothersnamewasAnnMaria,Yanksthroughandthrough,Red,WhiteandBlue!FatherwassoYankee-hearted,WhentheSpanishwarwasstarted,HeslippedonhisuniformAndhoppeduponapony.MymothersmotherwasaYankeetrue,MyfathersfatherwasaYankee,too,Andthatsgoingsome,FortheYankees,bygum!Oh,saycanyousee,Anythingaboutmypedigreethatsphoney?ImaYankeeDoodleDandy,AYankeeDoodle,doordie;AreallivenephewofmyUncleSams,BornontheFourthofJuly.IvegotaYankeeDoodlesweetheart,ShesmyYankeeDoodlejoy.YankeeDoodlecametoLondon,Justtoridetheponies,IamtheYankeeDoodleBoy.“OverThere”WordsandMusicByGeorgeM.CohanJohnniegetyourgun,getyougun,getyourgun,Takeitontherun,ontherun,ontherun,Hearthemcallingyouandme;EverysonofLibertyHurryrightaway,nodelay,gotoday,MakeyourdaddygladtohavehadsuchaladTellyoursweetheartnottopine,Tobeproudherboysinline.Chorus:OverThere,OverThereSendtheword,sendtheword,OverThereThattheYanksarecoming,TheYanksarecoming,ThedrumsrumtummingeverywhereSoprepare,SayaPrayerSendtheword,SendthewordtobewareWellbeover,werecomingover.Andwewontbebacktillitsoveroverthere!Johnniegetyourgun,getyougun,getyourgun,JohnnieshowtheHun,youreaSon-of-a-Gun,HoisttheflagandletherflyLiketrueherosdoordiePackyourlittlekit,showyourgrit,doyourbit,Soldierstotheranksfromthetownsandthetanks,MakeyourMotherproudofyouandtoLibertybetrue.Chorus:OverThere,OverThereSendtheword,sendtheword,OverThereThattheYanksarecoming,TheYanksarecoming,ThedrumsrumtummingeverywhereSoprepare,SayaPrayerSendtheword,SendthewordtobewareWellbeover,werecomingover.Andwewontbebacktillitsoveroverthere!关于GeorgeM.Cohan的生平，感兴趣的朋友可参阅《百老汇剧诗艺术的奠基人——乔治·M·科汉》一文。浏览地址：http://www.china001.com/show_hdr.php?xname=PPDDMV0dname=D3PO741xpos=21
