十年前推出的vienna boys goes pop，重新演繹改篇大熱流行曲作品。今天不談crossover的目的,專輯一如所料引起不少迴響，反應兩極，有聽眾覺得那是一個好的嘗試，讓傳統的維也納兒童合唱團煥然一新，帶來新鮮感，亦有聽慣合唱團的聽眾覺得專輯刺耳。
專輯收錄了多首經典流行作品，像my heart will go on, eternal flame等, 但整張專輯最為人驚訝的大概是翻唱backstreet boys 的 get down。
Backstreet boys 一聽名字大概可以猜出他們走的路線，十多年前走紅的少男組合曾經迷倒全球不少少男少女，他們帥氣，純情稚氣中帶一點不羈、反叛。
Get down是當年一大熱作品，第一次聽vienna boys 的演唱差點大嚇一跳。接近完美的男童聲像朗誦一般大唱you are the one for me, you are my ecstasy， 有種逼著好學生做壞事的感覺，ecstasy這個字怎麼會出自vienna boys的口？唱慣古典聖詩的他們突然變成後街男孩，放下神聖變回凡夫俗子對著女生大唱豪不害羞地大唱情歌，大喊hey baby love I need a girl like you。這樣還不夠，還要中間有一段rap，bang bang bang, here we come here we slam. 實在夠驚嚇。第一次聽簡直覺得一首get down平白把vienna boys 給毀了, 是"尷生"把乖男孩變成壞男孩, 但他們都壞不起來。
可是，看專輯的製作特輯，儘管是德語，還是看得出一群小男生當年雀躍地錄製唱片。看見他們手舞足動地大唱get down，起勁地rap起來, 想起他們著實也是十多歲的小男生, 平時住在寄宿學校, 接受著規律的精英培訓, 修心養性地學習傳統音樂, 著實有點像少林寺。難得有機會作新嘗試, 大概是件刺激的事。
而且get down 不就正正為少男少女們寫的嗎? 每個乖男孩裡面都住著一個叛逆的小男孩, 我想像這群踏入反叛年紀的精英也許也壓抑了太久了吧。
再細聽一群小男生大唱,
Oh baby you're so fine
I'm gonna make you mine
Your lips they taste so sweet
You're the one for me
You're my ecstasy You're the one I need
再看看唱片封套, 一群穿水手服的男生耍帥的隨意站著,
愈聽愈過癮。
Get Down - Vienna Boys' Choir
You're the one for me
You're my ecstasy
You're the one I need
[Chorus]
Get down
Get down
And move it all around
Get down
Get down
And move it all around
Hey baby love, I need a girl like you
But tell me if you feel it too
I'm in delusion every minute, every hour
My heart is crying out for you
I feel in heaven when I look in your eyes
I know that you are the one for me (One for me)
You drive me crazy 'cause
You're one of a kind
I want your lovin'
And I want it right now
[Chorus: x2]
Oh baby you're so fine
I'm gonna make you mine
Your lips they taste so sweet
You're the one for me
You're my ecstasy
You're the one I need
Bang, bang, bang
Here we come
Here we slam
It's the Fun Factory
With the BSBs
Get on your knees
Tryin' to scream
Or touch me please
Backstreet Boys
Are you with it
A.J. hit it
Come on girl and get down
Smack it up
Pump it
And move it all around
Here it is if you want to get with this
Put you at the top of my list
I feel in heaven when I look in your eyes
I know that you are the one for me (One for me)
You drive me crazy 'cause
You're one of a kind
I want your lovin'
And I want it right now
So get ready,
Ready for the flavor that we are bringing
The summer's setting off
Yo, and get your body swinging
When we're alone girl I want to push up
Can I get it? Yeah
Everybody throw your hands up
