Never Be The Same：Breakfast Club最紅的一首歌

嚴格說來，我可以算是個神經病。我常會因為喜歡一首歌，就把其原唱或樂團的祖宗十八代研究的一清二楚，甚至這個原唱或樂團只紅這一首歌而已，一樣不例外。

八零年代，Dance-Rock和浩室舞曲(House)風迷全球，雖然我比較不常聽這種動感音樂，但還是有幾首讓我非常喜愛。早餐俱樂部(Breakfast Club)的Never Be The Same就是其中一首。

我可以確定，應該沒幾個人知道早餐俱樂部這支美國樂團，但我相信一定有不少五六年級生聽過Never Be The Same這首歌，因為Never Be The Same當年真的很紅。

早餐俱樂部樂團成立於1979年，1990年解散。多年來陸續換過幾個團員，連瑪丹娜(別懷疑，就是那個瑪丹娜)都曾是他們的鼓手。而New wave、Dance-Rock和Synthpop是他們擅長的曲風。

如前面所提到的，早餐俱樂部最紅的歌就是Never Be The Same，這首歌在Billboard舞曲榜最好的成績為第8名，還入選當年Billboard雜誌的熱門舞曲，紅遍了八零年代全球的舞廳與club！
