如今人们对小清新和重口味的理解通常都是反的。The Mamas & the Papas 是小清新吗？如果妳只听过「California Dreaming」很可能会这么想，但这支乐团里的 ‘Mama’ Cass Elliot 唱过一首「Make Your Own Kind of Music」（词曲作者是 Barry Mann 和 Cynthia Weil 夫妇），就是美剧《迷失》（Lost）第二季第一集开头 Desmond 在天鹅站早上醒来时听的曲子，音乐上可谓流丽清亮，但歌词是这样的：

Nobody can tell ya
There’s only one song worth singin’
They may try and sell ya
‘Cause it hangs them up
To see someone like you

But you’ve gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You’re gonna be nowhere,
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough goin’
Just to do your thing
The hardest thing to do

But you’ve gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be goin’
I will understand

You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

虽然我想这应该很明显，但需要强调的是「做音乐」在这歌词里只是一个符号。任何时代都有那些被视为妳「不可能不幹」的事，去肏这些事就是重口味。
