Toby的搖滾音樂異想世界

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, fire in the sky

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, fire in the sky

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 and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

      這首歌是英國搖滾團體Deep Purple在1972年專輯《Machine Head》裡的一首歌，Q雜誌認為它是到目前為止最好的歌曲第12名。

      這首歌最有名的就是前面的吉他藍調重覆樂句，尤其是他們的吉他手Ritchie Blackmore用那把Fender Stratocaster電吉他彈出來(真是迷死人了)，接下來加入的是電風琴及貝士，最後才是主唱的歌聲。其實他們這首曲子很多旋律都採自於The Stooges的"Loose"。

阿德聽感：正如很多人說的，若你沒聽過這首歌，還自稱是搖滾迷，那就真的遜掉了，並不是搖滾人驕傲，只是這首歌太重要了，尤其是他們的吉他手Ritchie Blackmore，在我心中是永遠的第一名啦，實在是太讚了。
