《Superstition》最初是为吉他手 Jeff Beck 创作的,但 Stevie Wonder 在录制小样后决定自己保留。歌曲融合了放克、灵魂乐与布鲁斯元素,其开头的铜管与合成器音效极具辨识度。该曲不仅登上 Billboard Hot 100 冠军,还获得了格莱美奖,并被多次翻唱与采样。
歌词全文
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladder's 'bout to fall,
Thirteen-month-old baby broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer — superstition ain't the way!
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid yourself of meanness, help you stay in command.
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Nothin' more to say...
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer — superstition ain't the way!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah...)
Thirteen-month-old baby broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer — superstition ain't the way!
Superstition ain't the way!
Superstition ain't the way!
