取樣混搭，不是「搶劫懷舊然後批發」，馬克．榮森如是說。取樣混搭是將自己置入到歌曲的敘述聲音當中，並同時推動故事的前進。觀看這位 DJ 將十五個 TED 演講炒成為一份視聽蛋餅，他回顧了道格．佛萊許和 Slick Rick 的大熱歌曲 "La Di Da Di"，該曲自 1984 年以來就為各代人重新打造。

And I'm going to slow it down
5

然後我要放慢節奏
00:31
because things sound cooler when they're slower.

MR: Obviously, I've been watching a lot of TED Talks.
34
171594
4530
看得出來我看了很多 TED 演講。
03:08
When I was first asked to speak at TED,
35
176124
3379
我剛被邀請到 TED 演講時，
03:11
I wasn't quite sure what my angle was, at first,
36
179503
2013
一開始我不確定要說什麼，
03:13
so yeah, I immediately started
watching tons of TED Talks,
watching tons of TED Talks,
37
181516
2952
所以沒錯，我立馬開始觀看一大堆的 TED 演講，
03:16
which is pretty much absolutely
38
184468
2016
這個做法絕對是
03:18
the worst thing that you can do
39
186484
1839
你力所能及最最糟糕的事情，
03:20
because you start to go into panic mode, thinking,
40
188323
2828
因為你開始進入恐慌狀態，不斷地想
03:23
I haven't mounted a successful
expedition to the North Pole yet.
expedition to the North Pole yet.
41
191151
3501
我沒有成功地到北極探索。
03:26
Neither have I provided electricity
42
194652
3900
我亦從未單憑我的智慧
03:30
to my village through sheer ingenuity.
43
198552
2597
為我的村莊提供電力。
03:33
In fact, I've pretty much wasted most of my life
44
201149
2820
老實說，我將人生的大部分時間
03:35
DJing in night clubs
45
203969
1297
浪費在夜總會裡做 DJ
03:37
and producing pop records.
46
205266
1979
和製作流行音樂唱片。
03:39
But I still kept watching the videos,
47
207245
2675
但是我還是鍥而不捨地觀看這些視頻，
03:41
because I'm a masochist,
48
209920
1631
因為我就是一個受虐狂，
03:43
and eventually, things like Michael Tilson Thomas
49
211551
3072
而且到了最後，像麥可．提爾森．湯瑪斯、
03:46
and Tod Machover, and seeing
50
214623
2816
塔德．馬家華這樣的人物，
看著他們滿腔熱情地談論音樂，
03:49
their visceral passion talking about music,
51
217439
2167
03:51
it definitely stirred something in me,
52
219606
1827
這絕對在我內心深處激起了一些想法，
03:53
and I'm a sucker for anyone talking devotedly
53
221433
2345
我對於滿腔熱血談論音樂力量的人
03:55
about the power of music.
54
223778
1391
實在毫無招架之力。
03:57
And I started to write down on these little note cards
55
225169
2660
我開始在這些小小的便簽紙上寫下
03:59
every time I heard something
56
227829
1343
我每次聽到的什麼東西
04:01
that struck a chord in me, pardon the pun,
57
229172
2215
敲動我的心弦，原諒我的雙關語，
04:03
or something that I thought I could use,
58
231387
1756
或者我一想到我可以用的什麼東西，
04:05
and pretty soon, my studio looked like this,
59
233143
4667
很快，我的工作室就變成了這樣，
04:09
kind of like a John Nash, "Beautiful Mind" vibe.
60
237810
3763
有點像約翰．納許《 美麗心靈》的感覺。
04:13
The other good thing about watching TED Talks,
61
241573
2795
觀看 TED 演講的另外一個好處是
04:16
when you see a really good one,
62
244368
1887
當你看到一個相當了不起的演講時，
04:18
you kind of all of a sudden wish the speaker
63
246255
1933
你就突然忍不住希望這位演講者
04:20
was your best friend, don't you? Like, just for a day.
64
248188
2844
就是你的死黨，是不是？就一天也好。
04:23
They seem like a nice person.
65
251032
1995
他們看起來像很親切的人，
04:25
You'd take a bike ride, maybe share an ice cream.
66
253027
2982
你們一起騎單車，或者分享一份冰淇淋，
04:28
You'd certainly learn a lot.
67
256009
2751
你絕對會從中受益不少。
04:30
And every now and then they'd chide you,
68
258760
1454
然後時不時他們就會斥罵你，
04:32
when they got frustrated that you couldn't really
69
260214
1736
因為他們覺得很挫敗，
04:33
keep up with half of the technical things
they're banging on about all the time.
they're banging on about all the time.
70
261950
2929
因為你不是很懂
他們一直甩出來的技術行話。
他們一直甩出來的技術行話。
04:36
But then they'd remember that
you're but a mere human
you're but a mere human
71
264879
2469
但是他們會記起你不過是凡人一名，
04:39
of ordinary, mortal intelligence
72
267348
1482
普通平凡、智力平平，
04:40
that didn't finish university,
73
268830
1399
連大學都沒有讀完，
04:42
and they'd kind of forgive you,
74
270229
1566
然後他們就原諒了你
04:43
and pet you like the dog.
75
271795
3595
然後就拍拍你，就像安撫小狗一樣。
04:47
(Laughter)
76
275390
2125
（笑聲）
04:49
Man, yeah, back to the real world,
77
277515
2738
天哪，沒錯，回到真實世界，
04:52
probably Sir Ken Robinson and I
78
280253
1527
也許肯．羅賓森爵士和我
04:53
are not going to end up being best of friends.
79
281780
1704
最終不會成為死黨。
04:55
He lives all the way in L.A.
and I imagine is quite busy,
and I imagine is quite busy,
80
283484
3433
他住在遙遠的洛杉磯，
我想他是非常忙碌的，
我想他是非常忙碌的，
04:58
but through the tools available to me -- technology
81
286917
2737
但是通過我可以控制的工具——科技
05:01
and the innate way that I approach making music --
82
289654
2268
以及我與生俱來的製作音樂的方式——
05:03
I can sort of bully our existences
83
291922
2738
某程度上我可以將我們的存在
05:06
into a shared event,
84
294660
1311
融入一個我們共享的事件中，
05:07
which is sort of what you saw.
85
295971
2566
也就是大家剛剛看見的那些。
05:10
I can hear something that I love in a piece of media
86
298537
3009
我可以從我喜歡的媒體作品中聽出些東西
05:13
and I can co-opt it
87
301546
1384
然後我可以挑選出來
05:14
and insert myself in that narrative,
88
302930
2336
將我自己插入到那個敘事聲音中
05:17
or alter it, even.
89
305266
2972
或者甚至可以作出改變。
05:20
In a nutshell, that's what I was trying to do
90
308238
1730
簡單來說，這就是我一直嘗試
利用這些東西所做的事情
利用這些東西所做的事情
05:21
with these things, but more importantly,
91
309968
2206
但更為重要的是，
05:24
that's what the past 30 years of music has been.
92
312174
2390
這也是過去三十年來音樂的樣貌。
05:26
That's the major thread.
93
314564
1688
這就是主線。
05:28
See, 30 years ago, you had the first digital samplers,
94
316252
2723
三十年前出現了第一台數位合成器，
05:30
and they changed everything overnight.
95
318975
1485
一夜間改變一切。
05:32
All of a sudden, artists could sample
96
320460
1665
霎時間，藝術家可以從以前的
05:34
from anything and everything that came before them,
97
322125
2805
任何作品中提取樣本，
05:36
from a snare drum from the Funky Meters,
98
324930
2195
譬如，時髦米特的小軍鼓、
05:39
to a Ron Carter bassline,
99
327125
1814
榮恩．卡特的大提琴曲、
05:40
the theme to "The Price Is Right."
100
328939
2071
『價格競猜』節目的主題曲等。
05:43
Albums like De La Soul's "3 Feet High and Rising"
101
331010
2133
各個專輯，例如迪拉索的「三尺高還要更高」、
05:45
and the Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique"
102
333143
2154
野獸男孩的「保羅潮店」、
05:47
looted from decades of recorded music
103
335297
2258
搶掠幾十年內記錄下來的音樂，
05:49
to create these sonic, layered masterpieces
104
337555
3049
用來創造這些分層聲波傑作，
05:52
that were basically the Sgt. Peppers of their day.
105
340604
2252
這簡直就是他們
當時的「比伯軍曹」（披頭四專輯）。
當時的「比伯軍曹」（披頭四專輯）。
05:54
And they weren't sampling these records
106
342856
2647
他們當時從這些音樂中取樣，
05:57
because they were too lazy to write their own music.
107
345503
2809
並不是因為他們懶得去寫自己的音樂。
06:00
They weren't sampling these records to cash in on
108
348312
1965
他們從這些音樂中取樣
06:02
the familiarity of the original stuff.
109
350277
1669
並不是為了從原作中賺個耳熟。
06:03
To be honest, it was all about sampling
110
351946
1557
老實說，這完全這是為了
06:05
really obscure things,
111
353503
1541
提取一些相當隱晦的東西，
06:07
except for a few obvious exceptions
112
355044
1488
一些相當明顯的例子除外，
06:08
like Vanilla Ice and "doo doo doo da da doo doo"
113
356532
2829
譬如說香草冰和「嘟嘟嘟搭搭嘟嘟」，
06:11
that we know about.
114
359361
1409
大家都知道。
06:12
But the thing is,
115
360770
1435
但重點是
06:14
they were sampling those records
116
362205
1475
這批人之所以從那些音樂中取樣
06:15
because they heard something in that music
117
363680
1798
是因為他們從那些音樂中聽到了
06:17
that spoke to them
118
365478
2165
一些觸動他們的東西，
06:19
that they instantly wanted to inject themselves
119
367643
1998
讓他們立馬就想將自己
06:21
into the narrative of that music.
120
369641
1496
注入到那些音樂的敘述當中。
06:23
They heard it, they wanted to be a part of it,
121
371137
1770
他們聽到了，他們想融入其中
06:24
and all of a sudden they found themselves
122
372907
1594
然後霎時間，他們發現
06:26
in possession of the technology to do so,
123
374501
2659
自己擁有那樣做的技術，
06:29
not much unlike the way the Delta blues
124
377160
2191
就好像「三角洲藍調」那樣
06:31
struck a chord with the Stones
and the Beatles and Clapton,
and the Beatles and Clapton,
125
379351
2669
突然激起滾石樂隊、披頭四和克萊普頓的心弦，
06:34
and they felt the need to co-opt that music
126
382020
2290
然後他們就直覺需要用他們當時的工具
06:36
for the tools of their day.
127
384310
1760
一起編撰那首歌曲。
06:38
You know, in music we take something that we love
128
386070
2632
在音樂界我們撿起我們喜歡的東西
06:40
and we build on it.
129
388702
1418
就馬上動手在上面進行改造。
06:42
I'd like to play a song for you.
130
390120
3620
我想為大家播一首歌。
06:52
(Music: "La Di Da Di" by Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick)
131
400068
6211
（音樂：道格．佛萊許與 Slick Rick 的 "La Di Da Di"）
07:11
That's "La Di Da Di" and it's the fifth-most sampled
132
419139
2589
這首歌叫 "La Di Da Di"
在當時最多人選取的歌曲中排名第五。
07:13
song of all time.
133
421728
1304
07:15
It's been sampled 547 times.
134
423032
3170
這首歌已經被取樣 547 次。
07:18
It was made in 1984 by these two legends of hip-hop,
135
426202
3436
這首歌是在 1984 年
由兩位嘻哈傳奇人物創造：
由兩位嘻哈傳奇人物創造：
07:21
Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh,
136
429638
3179
Slick Rick 和道格．佛萊許，
07:24
and the Ray-Ban and Jheri curl look is so strong.
137
432817
3410
墨鏡和稀拉卷髮形象相當出眾。
07:28
I do hope that comes back soon.
138
436227
2028
我真心希望這個風格會再次流行。
07:30
Anyway, this predated the sampling era.
139
438255
4093
不管怎樣，這是發生在音樂取樣時代之前。
在這張唱片中並無任何取樣混搭，
07:34
There were no samples in this record,
140
442348
1502
07:35
although I did look up on the Internet last night,
141
443850
2356
儘管我昨晚的確在網上搜了一下，
07:38
I mean several months ago,
142
446206
2048
我是說幾個月前，
07:40
that "La Di Da Di" means, it's an old
143
448254
2525
"La Di Da Di" 來自於
07:42
Cockney expression from the late 1800s in England,
144
450779
3040
十八世紀晚期英格蘭地區的一種倫敦方言。
07:45
so maybe a remix with Mrs. Patmore
145
453819
2116
之後的《唐頓莊園》說不定會出現
07:47
from "Downton Abbey" coming soon,
146
455935
1926
派特摩太太的混搭音樂，
07:49
or that's for another day.
147
457861
3584
或者我們改天再談這個。
07:53
Doug E. Fresh was the human beat box.
148
461445
1726
道格．佛萊許是人肉電子節奏鼓，
07:55
Slick Rick is the voice you hear on the record,
149
463171
1784
而 Slick Rick 就是你在唱片上聽到的那聲音，
07:56
and because of Slick Rick's sing-songy,
150
464955
3060
正因為 Slick Rick 美麗動人的歌喉、
08:00
super-catchy vocals, it provides endless sound bites
151
468015
2789
超級誘人的聲帶，這首歌為日後的流行音樂
08:02
and samples for future pop records.
152
470804
2742
提供了無限、可取的原聲和音樂樣本。
08:05
That was 1984.
153
473546
1330
那是 1984 的情況。
08:06
This is me in 1984, in case you were wondering
154
474876
2903
這是我 1984年的樣子，如果你在想
08:09
how I was doing, thank you for asking.
155
477779
2531
我那時混得怎樣，謝謝關心。
08:12
It's Throwback Thursday already.
156
480310
2101
這好像懷舊星期四。
08:14
I was involved in a heavy love affair
157
482411
2353
當時我不可救藥地
08:16
with the music of Duran Duran,
158
484764
1329
深深愛上了杜蘭杜蘭的音樂，
08:18
as you can probably tell from my outfit.
159
486093
2071
這大概你也可以從我的穿著上看出來。
08:20
I was in the middle.
160
488164
1654
我站在中間。
08:21
And the simplest way that I knew
161
489818
2131
當時我頭腦簡單，
08:23
how to co-opt myself into that experience
162
491949
2581
想讓自己以某種方式融入那首歌，
08:26
of wanting to be in that song somehow
163
494530
1933
我想到的最簡單的方法
08:28
was to just get a band together
of fellow nine-year-olds
of fellow nine-year-olds
164
496463
2421
就是跟一群九歲大的同齡人組隊，
08:30
and play "Wild Boys" at the school talent show.
165
498884
2507
一起在學校的表演秀上扮「狂野男孩」。
08:33
So that's what we did, and long story short,
166
501391
2489
這就是我們當時的日子，長話短說，
08:35
we were booed off the stage,
167
503880
1742
我們被轟下台了，
08:37
and if you ever have a chance to live your life
168
505622
2813
如果你有那麼一個機會好好活著，
08:40
escaping hearing the sound of an auditorium
169
508435
2541
不用在大禮堂上遭罪
08:42
full of second- and third-graders booing,
170
510976
1553
忍受二、三年級學生在台下發出的噓聲，
08:44
I would highly recommend it. It's not really fun.
171
512529
2608
我會極度建議你好好活著。那一點都不好玩。
08:47
But it didn't really matter,
172
515137
1300
但這沒多大關係，
08:48
because what I wanted somehow
173
516437
1768
因為當時我想要的
08:50
was to just be in the history
of that song for a minute.
of that song for a minute.
174
518205
2727
就是加入到那首歌的歷史中，雖然只是短短一分鐘。
08:52
I didn't care who liked it.
175
520932
1191
我不在乎誰喜歡這首歌。
08:54
I just loved it, and I thought
I could put myself in there.
I could put myself in there.
176
522123
3319
我就是愛這首歌，我只想將自己放入歌中。
08:57
Over the next 10 years, "La Di Da Di"
177
525442
1768
在接下來的十年裡，La Di Da Di
08:59
continues to be sampled by countless records,
178
527210
1945
一直被無數的音樂專輯取樣，
09:01
ending up on massive hits like
"Here Comes the Hotstepper"
"Here Comes the Hotstepper"
179
529155
3724
搖身一變成為大眾狂潮，
例如 Here Comes the Hotstepper
例如 Here Comes the Hotstepper
09:04
and "I Wanna Sex You Up."
180
532879
1481
還有 I Wanna Sex You Up。
09:06
Snoop Doggy Dogg covers this song
181
534360
1881
史努比狗狗把這首歌
09:08
on his debut album "Doggystyle"
and calls it "Lodi Dodi."
and calls it "Lodi Dodi."
182
536241
4063
加入到他的首張專輯「狗狗風格」裡，
把它稱之為 Lodi Dodi。
把它稱之為 Lodi Dodi。
09:12
Copyright lawyers are having
a field day at this point.
a field day at this point.
183
540304
2408
版權律師這時可是吵到不行。
09:14
And then you fast forward to 1997,
184
542712
2768
然後你快進到 1997 年，
09:17
and the Notorious B.I.G., or Biggie,
185
545480
2854
當時 Notorious B.I.G. 或者 Biggie
09:20
reinterprets "La Di Da Di"
186
548334
2962
在他最熱門的「催眠術」中
09:23
on his number one hit called "Hypnotize,"
187
551296
2808
重新演繹了 La Di Da Di。
09:26
which I will play a little bit of
188
554104
1522
我會播放這首歌的其中一段，
09:27
and I will play you a little bit of the Slick Rick
189
555626
1582
我也會播放 Slick Rick 的其中一段，
09:29
to show you where they got it from.
190
557208
3069
讓大家聽聽他們從哪裡得來。
09:32
(Music: "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G.)
191
560277
6941
（音樂：The Notorious B.I.G. 的「催眠術」）
09:59
So Biggie was killed
192
587385
3987
Biggie 後來被謀殺了，
10:03
weeks before that song made it to number one,
193
591372
2004
時間是在這首歌成為冠軍曲的前幾週，
10:05
in one of the great tragedies of the hip-hop era,
194
593376
2202
這是嘻哈時代的悲劇之一，
10:07
but he would have been 13 years old
195
595578
1716
La Di Da Di 推出時，
10:09
and very much alive when
"La Di Da Di" first came out,
"La Di Da Di" first came out,
196
597294
2309
他應該是 13 歲，活得好好的。
10:11
and as a young boy
197
599603
1262
身為青少年，
10:12
growing up in Brooklyn,
198
600865
1651
出身於布魯克林，
10:14
it's hard not to think that that song probably held
199
602516
2142
很難不去想像那首歌曲
對他來說到底藏有多少美好記憶。
10:16
some fond memories for him.
200
604658
1431
10:18
But the way he interpreted it, as you hear,
201
606089
1786
但是他演繹這首歌的方式，正如你所聽到，
10:19
is completely his own.
202
607875
1415
完全是他的個人風格。
10:21
He flips it, makes it,
203
609290
2075
他改造了這首歌曲，創造了新的歌曲，
10:23
there's nothing pastiche whatsoever about it.
204
611365
2356
這首歌不是東拼西湊的混合物。
10:25
It's thoroughly modern Biggie.
205
613721
2808
這完全是現代 Biggie 的作品。
10:28
I had to make that joke in this room,
206
616529
1728
我不得不在這裡講這個笑話，
10:30
because you would be the only people
that I'd ever have a chance of getting it.
that I'd ever have a chance of getting it.
207
618257
2826
因為你們大概是唯一有機會聽懂我的人。
10:33
And so, it's a groaner. (Laughter)
208
621083
3240
好吧，這是我的無奈。（笑聲）
10:36
Elsewhere in the pop and rap world,
209
624323
3553
在流行音樂和饒舌音樂的世界裡，
10:39
we're going a little bit sample-crazy.
210
627876
1916
我們開始變成混搭迷。
10:41
We're getting away from the obscure
samples that we were doing,
samples that we were doing,
211
629792
2498
我們開始遠離一直在做的隱晦取樣混搭，
10:44
and all of a sudden everyone's taking
212
632290
1336
然後霎時間，大家都開始採用
10:45
these massive '80s tunes like Bowie, "Let's Dance,"
213
633626
2811
這些80年代大眾曲調，例如鮑伊的「一起跳吧」，
10:48
and all these disco records,
and just rapping on them.
and just rapping on them.
214
636437
2379
還有所有的迪斯科音樂，用饒舌方式唱。
10:50
These records don't really age that well.
215
638816
1844
這些音樂不太會過時。
10:52
You don't hear them now, because they borrowed
216
640660
2055
現在大家都不再聽這類音樂了，
因為這是從另一個年代借來的，
10:54
from an era that was too steeped
217
642715
1594
10:56
in its own connotation.
218
644309
1948
充滿了自身的各種隱喻。
10:58
You can't just hijack nostalgia wholesale.
219
646257
4712
你不可以隨便搶劫懷舊然後批發。
11:02
It leaves the listener feeling sickly.
220
650969
2124
這樣會讓聽眾受不了。
11:05
You have to take an element of those things
221
653093
2263
你必須從這些歌裡面提取一個元素，
11:07
and then bring something fresh and new to it,
222
655356
2879
然後把一些新鮮的東西帶進去，
11:10
which was something that I learned
223
658235
1190
這也是我之前學來的東西，
11:11
when I was working with the late,
224
659425
1718
那時我還在和現已逝世、
11:13
amazing Amy Winehouse
225
661143
1312
光鮮亮麗的艾美．懷絲合作
11:14
on her album "Back to Black."
226
662455
2241
創造她的專輯《黑色會》。
11:16
A lot of fuss was made about the sonic of the album
227
664696
3056
當時為了這個專輯的音波，
我和另一位製作人薩朗．雷米不免有些爭吵，
11:19
that myself and Salaam Remi, the other producer,
228
667752
2029
11:21
achieved, how we captured this long-lost sound,
229
669781
1888
爭論我們怎樣捕捉這遺失很久的聲音，
11:23
but without the very, very 21st-century personality
230
671669
3775
要是沒有 21 世紀現代個性和魔力，
11:27
and firebrand that was Amy Winehouse
231
675444
1953
艾美．懷絲關於戒毒所和
羅傑．摩爾的歌詞就做不到，
羅傑．摩爾的歌詞就做不到，
11:29
and her lyrics about rehab and Roger Moore
232
677397
3153
11:32
and even a mention of Slick Rick,
233
680550
1926
還有Slick Rick的元素，
11:34
the whole thing would have run the risk
234
682476
1285
這個東西就會岌岌可危，
11:35
of being very pastiche, to be honest.
235
683761
3461
老實說有可能會變成想到凌亂。
11:39
Imagine any other singer from that era over it
236
687222
2288
要是隨意從那個時代找一個歌手
11:41
singing the same old lyrics.
237
689510
2691
重新演唱同樣的老歌詞。
11:44
It runs a risk of being completely bland.
238
692201
2137
這有可能會被認為極度無聊。
11:46
I mean, there was no doubt that Amy
239
694338
2513
我是說，毫無疑問
艾美、我還有薩朗都同樣熱愛
11:48
and I and Salaam all had this love
240
696851
1958
11:50
for this gospel, soul and blues and jazz
241
698809
1790
這樣的信仰、靈魂、藍調和爵士樂，
11:52
that was evident listening to
the musical arrangements.
the musical arrangements.
242
700599
3219
你聽聽音樂的改編就會發現。
11:55
She brought the ingredients that made it urgent
243
703818
2044
她帶進了一些元素，
11:57
and of the time.
244
705862
1659
使得歌曲更加緊迫、更具時代意味。
11:59
So if we come all the way up to the present day now,
245
707521
3037
所以如果我們縱觀歷史，
12:02
the cultural tour de force that is Miley Cyrus,
246
710558
3512
其中的文化代表作屬於麥莉．希拉，
12:06
she reinterprets "La Di Da Di"
247
714070
2222
她為同時代的人
12:08
completely for her generation,
248
716292
2162
重新演繹了 La Di Da Di，
12:10
and we'll take a listen to the Slick Rick part
249
718454
2944
我們會先聽一段 Slick Rick，
12:13
and then see how she sort of flipped it.
250
721398
3731
然後在看看她是怎樣改變這首歌。
12:18
(Music: "La Di Da Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh)
251
726309
4919
(音樂: Slick Rick & 道格．佛萊許的 "La Di Da Di" )
12:31
(Music: "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus)
252
739953
5983
(音樂: 麥莉．希拉的 "We Can't Stop")
12:37
So Miley Cyrus,
253
745936
1841
麥莉．希拉
12:39
who wasn't even born yet
when "La Di Da Di" was made,
when "La Di Da Di" was made,
254
747777
3538
在"La Di Da Di" 推出時，她還沒出生，
12:43
and neither were any of the co-writers on the song,
255
751315
3534
那首歌的作曲人一個也沒出生，
12:46
has found this song that somehow
256
754849
2110
她發現這首歌某程度上
12:48
etched its way into the collective
consciousness of pop music,
consciousness of pop music,
257
756959
3045
已經在流行音樂的集體回憶中
刻下了它的印記，
刻下了它的印記，
12:52
and now, with its timeless playfulness of the original,
258
760004
3953
時至今日，這首歌原作具有一種超時空玩味，
12:55
has kind of translated to a whole new generation
259
763957
2423
並且某程度上給新生代創造了全新演繹，
12:58
who will probably co-opt it as their own.
260
766380
3668
讓新生代自由選擇改編。
13:02
Since the dawn of the sampling era,
261
770048
3202
自音樂取樣混搭時代起，
13:05
there's been endless debate
262
773250
1521
就有過無數的爭論，
13:06
about the validity of music that contains samples.
263
774771
2598
爭論採用樣本的音樂算不算是音樂。
13:09
You know, the Grammy committee says that
264
777369
1626
大家知道，葛萊美獎委員會說
13:10
if your song contains some kind of pre-written
265
778995
2658
如果你的歌包含一些之前寫過的音樂
13:13
or pre-existing music,
266
781653
1245
或者之前存在過的音樂，
13:14
you're ineligible for song of the year.
267
782898
1995
那麼就沒資格申請那年的歌曲提名。
13:16
Rockists, who are racist
268
784893
2277
搖滾樂歧視者
13:19
but only about rock music,
269
787170
1750
是僅歧視搖滾音樂的人，
13:20
constantly use the argument to —
270
788920
4231
不斷使用一個論點來——
13:25
That's a real word. That is a real word.
271
793151
2022
真的有這個單字啦。
13:27
They constantly use the argument to devalue rap
272
795173
2616
他們不斷使用一個論點來
13:29
and modern pop,
273
797789
1910
貶低說唱和現代流行音樂，
13:31
and these arguments completely miss the point,
274
799699
4162
而這些論點已經完全無殺傷力，
13:35
because the dam has burst.
275
803861
1959
因為水庫已經被沖開。
13:37
We live in the post-sampling era.
276
805820
2033
我們生活在後取樣混搭時代。
13:39
We take the things that we love
277
807853
1627
我選取我們喜愛的東西，
13:41
and we build on them.
278
809480
1378
我們在此基礎上進行改造。
13:42
That's just how it goes.
279
810858
1640
這就是我們的方式。
13:44
And when we really add
something significant and original
something significant and original
280
812498
3092
當我們真正地添加
一些重要原創的東西，
一些重要原創的東西，
13:47
and we merge our musical journey with this,
281
815590
2497
把我們的音樂歷程與此相結合，
13:50
then we have a chance to be
282
818087
1838
然後我們有機會
成為我們所熱愛的音樂進化歷程之一，
13:51
a part of the evolution of that music that we love
283
819925
2633
13:54
and be linked with it once it
becomes something new again.
becomes something new again.
284
822558
3241
並且等到這再次成為新的東西，
我們就與此產生聯繫。
我們就與此產生聯繫。
13:57
So I would like to do one more piece
285
825799
5364
所以我想再播一首歌，
14:03
that I put together for you tonight,
286
831163
1718
這是我今晚為各位準備的，
14:04
and it takes place with two
287
832881
