金曲 | Old Time Rock & Roll：旧日摇滚归来
"Old Time Rock & Roll" is a song written by George Jackson and Thomas E. Jones III, with uncredited lyrics by Bob Seger, by whom it was recorded for his 1978 album Stranger in Town and also released as a single in 1979.
The song is a sentimentalized look back at the music of the original rock 'n' roll era and has often been referenced as Seger's favorite song. It gained renewed popularity after being featured in the 1983 film Risky Business, and has since become a standard in popular music and was ranked number two on the Amusement & Music Operators Association's survey of the Top 40 Jukebox Singles of All Time in 1996.
正如其名，歌曲《旧日摇滚》是对老式经典摇滚的热切追忆，本身便带着一股不能再纯正的乡村摇滚味道。这一发源于20世纪40年代美国的摇滚乐，与其说是一种音乐类型，不如说是一种大胆放纵情感流露的生活态度，将激情寄托于富有节奏感的词曲和狂野豪迈的演绎方式之中，是一种极致的浪漫主义的外化。
