Deep Purple「Smoke On The Water」について
「Smoke On The Water」（Deep Purple）は、1972年にリリースしたアルバム『マシン・ヘッド』に収録されている、1971年のモントルー・カジノ火災を“そのまま歌詞にした”ロック史上最も有名な実話系ハードロック曲であり、リッチー・ブラックモアによる“四音リフ”はロック史屈指の象徴的ギターリフとして有名です。
レマン湖の上に立ちこめた煙の光景が、タイトル「Smoke On The Water（湖上の煙）」の由来です。
Smoke On The Water
歌：Deep Purple/詞：R.Blackmore・I.Gillan・R.Glover・J.Lord・I.Paice/曲：R.Blackmore・I.Gillan・R.Glover・J.Lord・I.Paice
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
