Old Red Wine : ウィキペディア英語版 | Real Good Looking Boy
"Real Good Looking Boy" is a song written by the guitarist of the British rock band The Who, Pete Townshend. It was originally released in 2004 on the compilation album ''Then and Now'', and was one of two new songs on that album, the other being "Old Red Wine". Together, they were the first new songs released by the Who for 15 years. It was later released as an edited single backed with the aforementioned song. "Real Good Looking Boy" was later performed in the 2007 rock musical ''The Boy Who Heard Music''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Boy Who Heard Music - Musical Workshop )〕 ==Lyrical meaning== The song was a tribute to the legendary rock 'n roll singer Elvis Presley. During live performances, Roger Daltrey gives a short introduction to the song, describing it as a song about "A man that changed my life at the age of 11. I saw Elvis Presley live at 11. Thank God I did, I loved him because everybody under the age of 20 thought they were Elvis and dressed like him. Everybody over 20 hated them and that was good enough for me." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Real Good Looking Boy )〕 The piano intro borrows from the Elvis song "Can't Help Falling in Love", and one of the later verses in "Real Good Looking Boy" uses lyrics from the first verse of the Elvis song. The song is also about Pete Townshend growing up and realizing that he really wasn't a good looking boy, that he wasn't part of the cool good looking group of boys his age and the trials, tribulations that we almost all go through in life. That is the first part. The second part is where the Elvis tribute comes into play and also where the song speaks of falling in love. The third part is where Townshend pays homage to finding true love and being made to feel like a "real good looking boy." It is also a shout out to surviving life as well as finding love where others did not and embracing what the world and his woman has given him.
