"Why" is a song performed by Carly Simon, recorded for the film ''Soup for One'' in 1982. The movie flopped but the soundtrack was a success. The song is one in a string of many film-inspired singles by Simon. The song, like all of the soundtrack, was produced by Edwards & Rodgers of Chic fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Soup For One )〕 This was a move away from the usual guitar-based hits of Simon's past. The bittersweet reggae-tinged ballad became a hit in Europe, hitting #10 in the UK, and staying on the British charts for 18 weeks. The song stalled at #74 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and remained on the chart for 6 weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carly Simon - Chart history | Billboard )〕 The song is centered on the phrase "Why does your love, hurt so much?", and Simon sings perhaps one of her most heartfelt and yearning vocals to date on the track.〔()〕 However, despite this sad subject matter, the song also became well known for its catchy refrain "La di-da, di-da". In 1989, the song re-surfaced on the Ibiza "Hacienda" scene, and cemented its status as a balearic classic.〔 Known for its bass-line and funky drums it was then that the growing hip-hop scene in the USA began to pick it up, 7 years after the original release. The song re-entered the UK charts the same year, reaching #56. == Track listings and formats == ;7" single *"Why" – 3:33 *"Why" (performed by Chic) – 3:33 ;12" single〔 *"Why" (Extended Version) – 8:11 *"Why" (Instrumental) – 7:06 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Why (Carly Simon song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
