Games People Play (Joe South song) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Games People Play (Joe South song)
"Games People Play" is a song written, composed and performed by American singer-songwriter Joe South, released at the end of 1968. ==Origins and inspirations== The lyrics and title are thought to be a direct reference to Eric Berne's work on transactional analysis of the same name. The book, published in 1964, deals with the "games" human beings play in interacting with one another. The lyrics seem to exhibit their author (South) playing a game of sorts with pronouns, converging in stages on the listener ("you") as perpetrator, roughly from "they" to "we," to "you" (object) and "me," to "you" (subject) and "I." The song closely resembles an older song, the traditional Cajun "'Tit Galop Pour Mamou", which was played by the Balfa Brothers among others, and is on the Balfas' ''Play Traditional Cajun Music''. After South's hit got around, Nathan Abshire (accordionist with the Balfas and others), recorded a version in French, with singing by Don Guillory, on his album ''A Cajun Legend''. A new Cajun version, introduced by a partial recounting of the genealogy of the versions, is at () under the heading ''Robert Jardell''. Typical of a number of hits in late 1968 and early 1969, the recording includes a lush string sound, an organ, and brass. The arrangement also features a distinctive electric sitar.
