扯遠了, 回到這首Juke Box Hero 吧, 這歌成績雖然只到 Billboard Hot 100 (熱門單曲排行榜) 第 26 名, 但總算在主流搖滾排行榜 (Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks) 上拿到第 3 名的佳績. 或許是歌名跟歌曲背後的故事, 而讓 Rock of Ages 製作人決定收入這首歌吧. Juke Box Hero 這歌也出被不同團體翻唱 (cover) 或被混編 (mashup) 到其他歌中; 電玩 Guitar Hero III 也有收錄; 影集 Glee 中也唱過; 在電影 Rock of Ages [2012] 裡跟另一首搖滾國歌 I Love Rock 'n' Roll 一起混編成一首.
【其它補充】 電影裡原聲帶的版本是 2 首歌混編的, 名稱就叫 Juke Box Hero/I Love Rock 'n' Roll, 是由 Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta 一同詮釋, 另一首歌 I Love Rock 'n' Roll 會在下一帖中介紹. 特別短片就在此分享; 照慣例, 歌詞附在最後
Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin'
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero
He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes
Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight
Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He's just a juke box hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes
