歌名后面常见的explicit到底什么意思？这样的歌听过吗？

acoustic[əˈkuːstɪk]

大家应该也见过很多次acoustic，acoustic中文意思有“原声的；自然声的”。如果歌名后面标明了acoustic，即表示不经过电子音效处理的纯乐队演奏版本，不含电子合成音乐。

cover

歌名后面如果出现cover，指的是翻唱。

释义：to record a new version of a song that was originally recorded by another band or singer

They've covered an old Rolling Stones number.

他们翻唱了滚石乐队的一首老歌。

除了上面这几种常见的后缀，英语中也有很多跟音乐相关的口语表达，顺便学习下：

music to one's ears

字面看，这个短语的意思是（对某人）悦耳的声音，引申为：好消息；佳音。

释义：news or information that you are very pleased to hear

That is music to my ears!

那可真是好消息！

face the music

指的是承担自己错误行为所带来的后果；接受批评（或惩罚）。

释义：(informal) to accept and deal with criticism or punishment for something you have done

The others all ran off, leaving me to face the music.

其他人全跑光了，留我一人承担后果。

Sooner or later, I'm going to have to face the music.

迟早我得自己承担后果。

for a song

表示非常便宜地；以很低的价钱（买下）

释义：(informal) very cheaply; at a low price

She bought the painting for a song.

她以极低的价格买下了这幅画。

The property is going for a song because they need to sell it fast.

on song

形容鼓足劲头；处于最佳比赛状态

释义：(informal) working or performing well

The whole team was on song.

a song and dance (about something)

这个习语有两层含义：

小题大做；对一件事情大惊小怪

对一件事情做冗长的解释

释义：

1. If you make a song and dance about something, you complain or talk about it too much when this is not necessary

2. a long explanation about something, or excuse for something

She gives generously to charity without making a song and dance about it.
