Song:You Only Live Once
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice (oh-ho)
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)
Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)
Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)
Oh don't don't don't get out
So I can see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Men don't notice what they got
Women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)
And neither one requires a plan (I know)
And countless 2 dire 3 religions, too
It doesn't matter which to choose (oh no)
One stubborn 4 way to turn your back (oh-ho)
I guess I've tried and I refuse (oh-ho)
Oh don't don't don't get out
So I can see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Alright
Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you
对于许多喜欢摇滚乐的中国歌迷来说,the Strokes的知名度远不如Linkin Park,商业上更是如此,因为这是一支独立摇滚乐队,他们的工作更多的是做音乐而并非为了卖唱片,乐队的目标也不是追求能够拥有更多的歌迷欢迎或者受到主流文化的赞许。但是这支乐队却为日益颓废、肮脏、盲目的摇滚乐开拓了新的道路,他们对美国摇滚乐产生了强大的推动力,以至于有美国媒体称赞是the Strokes拯救了摇滚乐。
可以说the Strokes是当代美国最出色的独立摇滚乐队之一。不过与绝大多数美国摇滚乐队不同的是,他们的音乐更多的带有英国摇滚乐的特点。纽约的许多成功的地下摇滚乐队对the Strokes在音乐道路上有着重要的影响,而朋克乐队Television和Iggy Pop的乐队对他们的音乐风格也产生了一定的影响,对于乐队核心Julian Casablancas而言,甲壳虫乐队的巨星John Lennon对他的影响则是无可替代的,这也基本上是乐队英国情结的根源,而他们在很年轻的时候最为崇拜的乐队也是来自英国。
