Quincy Jones :: Ai No Corrida ::: '80s GEM OF THE MOMENT
Quincy Jones :: Ai No Corrida |12" Mix| (1981) [with vocals by Dune & Charles May] I hold you I touch you In a maze can't find my way I think you I drink you I'm being served you on a tray. You see girl that's what I go through every day Is this the way it should feel? Pinch me I'm dreaming But if it is don't let me know. I'm drowning don't save me It's just the way I'd like to go. You see girl you thrill me Half kill me that's what you do. Ai no corrida that's were I am You send me there - Your dream is my command. Ai no corrida I find myself no other thought Jusa you and nothing else you and nothing else. Before my heart saw you Each day was just another day Night the lonely interlude just came then blow away. You know girl Everything was come what may until you fell in my life. This spell that I'm under has caught me I'm in a daze Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze. You see girl you thrill me Half kill me that's what you do. Ai no corrida that's were I am. . . Ai no corrida that's were I am. . . Ai no corrida that's were I am. . . I hold you I touch you. . . Pinch me I'm dreaming. . . Ai no corrida that's were I am. . . Ai no corrida that's were I am. . . . [Edited 5/17/06 4:26am] | |

I wonder why he didn't ask MJ to sing this song.. I think it's a Chas Jankel's cover. | |

http://forum.wordreferenc...p?t=113378  there's a little bit more to it, although some of this might be more infrormation than some would like,  :
from an interview with the song's writer, Chaz Jankel(from DJ History.com) "... Next thing I know, this melody pops into my head...I gave a cassette with the melody on to Kenny Young, who’d co-written ‘Under The Boardwalk’. Anyway, he calls me from MIDEM. ‘Chaz, I’ve got this great idea for your melody: "Ai No Corrida, that’s where I am…"’ I had no idea what he was talking about. So he told me all about this movie by Oshima, In The Realm Of The Senses (the Japanese name was Ai No Corrida). It was a true story about a geisha who fell in love with the madame’s husband but because of the class system there was no chance they could have a relationship. In their sexual encounters, the woman would strangle the chap to the point where he nearly passed out. One day, in their depression at the fate of their relationship she kept pulling on the knot and he died. She was so distressed, she cut off his meat’n’two veg and put it in her pocket. She was wondering the streets, completely off her head and got locked up and stayed incarcerated for about 30 years. She became a feminist icon and when she came out in the 70s Oshima made a movie about her. Funnily enough, I was in Spain around the time it came out doing a promo and a photographer puts his arm round me and says, "Chaz! I love bullfights too" and I’m like, "what?" And it turns out that "Ai No Corrida" means "Bullfight of Love" in Spanish... " ...

Yours, however, brings it in a new dimension for me. Thanks. | |
