This Is Weird

MARK
It's Weird

JOANNE
Very Weird

Fuckin' Weird

JOANNE
I'm So Mad
That I Don't Know What To Do
Fighting With Microphones
Freezing Down To My Bones
And To Top It All Off
I'm With You

MARK
Feel Like Going Insane?
Got A Fire In Your Brain?
And Your Thinking Of Drinking
Gasoline?

JOANNE
As A Matter Of Fact --

MARK
Honey, I Know This Act
It's Called The 'Tango Maureen'

The Tango Maureen
It's A Dark, Dizzy
Merry-Go-Round
As She Keeps You Dangling

JOANNE
You're Wrong

MARK
Your Heart She Is Mangling

JOANNE
It's Different With Me

MARK
And You Toss And You Turn
'Cause Her Cold Eyes Can Burn
Yet You Yearn And You Churn And Rebound

I Think I Know What You Mean

BOTH
The Tango Maureen

MARK
Has She Ever
Pouted Her Lips
And Called You 'Pookie'

JOANNE
Never

MARK
Have You Ever Doubted A Kiss Or Two?

JOANNE
This Is Spooky
Did You Swoon
When She Walked Through The Door?

MARK
Every Time - So Be Cautious

JOANNE
Did She Moon Over Other Boys--?

MARK
More Than Moon--

JOANNE
I'm Getting Nauseous

(They dance)

MARK
It's hard to do this backwards

JOANNE
You should try it in heels!

She Cheated

MARK
She Cheated

JOANNE
Maureen Cheated

MARK
Fuckin' Cheated

JOANNE
I'm Defeated
I Should Give Up Right Now

MARK
Gotta Look On The Bright Side
With All Of Your Might

JOANNE
I'd Fall For Her Still Anyhow

BOTH
When Your Dancing Her Dance
You Don't Stand A Chance
Her Grip Of Romance
Makes You Fall

MARK
So You Think, 'Might As Well'

JOANNE
"Dance A Tango To Hell"

BOTH
'At Least I'll Have Tangoed At All'

The Tango Maureen
Gotta Dance Til Your Diva Is Through
You Pretend To Believe Her
Cause In The End - You Can't Leave Her

But The End It Will Come
Still You Have To Play Dumb
Til You're Glum And You Bum
And Turn Blue

MARK
Why Do We Love When She's Mean?

JOANNE
And She Can Be So Obscene

MARK
Try The Mike

JOANNE
My Maureen (een, een, een...)

MARK
Patched

JOANNE
Thanks

MARK
You Know - I Feel Great Now!

JOANNE
I Fell Lousy

BOTH
The Tango: Maureen!

===========================================================

喔，我想這部影片道出了一些人對PUMA (Prostitute + Unchaste + Mammonism + Avaricious) 的心聲，所謂的PU獸迷離...。

而很多執迷不悔的人以為PUMA會變成清純可人的XXX，我想這當然是不可能的事情，就像公車萍不給人上一樣，天要下紅雨。

用輕鬆的Tango來詮釋此類歌曲，充滿了誘惑但又諷刺，諷刺的是在Tango的曲調背後隱含的情色訊息。

在急促的吉他撥弦之後，Mark & Joanne兩個脫掉了外套，像似美國西部片要決鬥似的，可是卻又開始共舞起來。

另外一種解釋是，舞蹈就如同一種爭鬥一樣 (會不會有人以為我是激進派？)。在雙方的你來我往之間彼此磨合，跳錯了踩到了腳，也只能忍痛的繼續 (我也跳過爵士、現代舞還有華爾滋)。也唯有那種不顧一切的自信以及從容的前進態度，才能使得力與美完整的呈現。

畏畏縮縮的舞蹈是沒人想要觀賞的！

如同Tango舞步一樣，在一方前進，一方後退的那個時間找到一種默契。

Why Do We Love When She's Mean?

I can't agree with you more.
