God Gave Rock N' Roll To You @ Playing the Game of Six Strings →

這是基努李維主演的KUSO搖滾電影Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey的片尾片段，曲子是由Kiss翻唱Argent樂團的名曲《God Gave Rock N' Roll To You》，因為有所修改，所以加上一個「II」。同時也是Kiss鼓手Eric Carr生前最後參與的作品。

雖然基努李維是國際巨星，不過很多人並不知道他拍過這種搖滾搞笑片，或許也不知道，他與天狼星的關係。這片原聲帶有當時許多搖滾藝人和樂手的作品，例如Steve Vai...

對我這個世代的吉他手來說，幾乎都是聽著搖滾樂而走上這條路，那種近乎是天啟式的感覺，透過這首歌曲生動的傳遞出來，雖然隨著對於搖滾樂歷史的了解而疑惑於那虛構的搖滾史觀神話，但撇開政治社會學的部份，身為亞洲人的我們對於搖滾樂的認識可不是在種族意識中所遇到的。

是的，天賜吾等搖滾樂，而也賜予吾等爵士樂、嘻哈樂，賜予吾人古典樂、電子樂，也賜給了我們雷鬼樂、流行樂等各式各樣的感動與震撼。只要這世界上還有一個音符的存在，就能證明造物的偉大。

God Gave Rock N' Roll To You II - by Kiss

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
天賜汝等搖滾樂，賜予汝等搖滾樂
Put it in the soul of everyone
就在每個人的靈魂裡面

Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
你知道你要什麼嗎？你其實並不清楚
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
你覺得事情不對勁，卻不知道怎麼改
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
而你得到的遠比你所尋找的少

You don't have money or a fancy car
你沒有錢也沒有拉風的車
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
你也厭倦再對著流星許願
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
你得把你的信仰託付在一把大聲的吉他上

Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
天賜汝等搖滾樂，賜予汝等搖滾樂
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
賜給每個人搖滾樂
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
天賜汝等搖滾樂，賜予汝等搖滾樂
Put it in the soul of everyone
就在每個人的靈魂裡面

"Now listen"
聽著
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
如果你想要當歌手或吉他手
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
你得加倍努力不然就無法持續下去
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
因為去找份工作還比較容易

You can take a stand, or you can compromise
你可以堅持立場或者是妥協放棄
You can work real hard or just fantasize
你可以努力工作或者是幻想度日
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"
但除非覺悟不然你的生命就沒有意義 - 我老實跟你說

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
天賜汝等搖滾樂，賜予汝等搖滾樂
Gave rock and roll to everyone
賜給每個人搖滾樂
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
天賜汝等搖滾樂，賜予汝等搖滾樂
Put it in your'e Soul
就在靈魂裡
(Instrumental break)

God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
天賜汝等搖滾樂 (賜給每個人那首要唱出來的歌)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
天賜汝等搖滾樂，賜予汝等搖滾樂
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
天賜汝等搖滾樂 (賜給每個人那首要唱出來的歌)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
天賜汝等搖滾樂，為每個人保留了搖滾樂
Saved rock and roll
留給你搖滾樂

chorus repeats out...

"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
"我知道生活有時候會變得艱難！我也知道生活有時候讓人厭煩！
但是，我們都收到了那份禮物，我們都被指引了一條道路
那就是搖滾樂！"

後記：

Kiss這個版本實在是太「勸世」－而且這和他們的形象非常不搭。但也是如此，更能夠感覺那那種搖滾樂在生命轉折中所能傳達的支持與力量，相對於此，Argent的版本不但顯得歡樂許多，而且也能從中比較出英式與美式風格上的差別，尤其是那種＂文＂的感覺。
