Madonna 麦当娜《American Pie》美国馅饼
演唱：Madonna 麦当娜
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book of Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singing
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation Lost in Space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrifical rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
《American Pie》是美国民谣摇滚创作型歌手Don McLean唐·麦克林的一首歌曲，收录于专辑《American Pie (专辑)》中，歌曲于1972年在美国告示牌夺冠4周。被普遍认为是唐·麦克林的代表作。歌曲在美国唱片业协会世纪歌曲中排行第5。歌曲的歌词多年以来一直获得了强烈的关注，许多粉丝和乐评人一直在尝试解释歌词的含义。麦克林一直拒绝对这些解释做评论，仅仅声明“The Day the Music Died”（音乐死去的那一天）指的是摇滚巨星巴迪·霍利，里奇·瓦伦斯和大波普坠机死亡的纪念安慰歌曲。
美国流行歌手麦当娜在2000年3月发行了这首歌曲的翻唱版本以宣传自己的原声带专辑《好事成双》（The Next Best Thing）。她的翻唱版本的风格也发生了变化，成为了一支流行舞曲。由于歌曲大获成功，麦当娜在自己2000年的录音室专辑《音乐圣堂》中作为专辑的豪华版附赠曲目收录在了专辑中，并成为了新专的第1首歌曲。
歌曲发行之后大获商业成功，在包括英国（麦当娜第9支冠军单曲）、加拿大、澳大利亚、意大利、德国（继1987年歌曲《美丽的岛屿》后的首支冠军）、瑞士、奥地利和芬兰取得了排行榜冠军。除此以外，歌曲是2000年英国第19畅销的单曲，迄今为止已经获得385,000份销量，也是麦当娜本人在英国第16畅销的单曲。此曲亦获得美国舞曲榜冠军。
唐·麦克林本人亦称赞了麦当娜的翻唱，称这是“女神带来的一份礼物”，并认为麦当娜演唱的版本“神秘而带性感。”
