Viva Tonal --- Love of Freedom

「阮是文明女, 東西南北自由志,逍遙佮自在, 世事如何阮不知, 阮只知文明時代, 社交愛公開, 男女雙雙, 排做一排, 跳狐步舞,我上蓋愛」….. 1933年台灣第一首台語流行歌曲-「跳舞時代」Viva Tonal!

女權運動的先驅李元貞女士說:「在三○年代追求自由戀愛是一種非常前衛、非常叛逆、非常時髦的行徑,當年經自由戀愛而結合,是會上報紙新聞的!」年輕男女隨著受到歐美及日本歌曲影響的流行歌節奏翩翩起舞,跳起華爾滋、狐步舞,追求他們嚮往的『維新世界,自由戀愛』

Viva Tonal 跳舞時代──第四十屆(2003年)金馬獎最佳記錄片: 簡偉斯,郭珍弟,李坤城三位年輕影劇新秀編劇及導演。

I'm a liberated woman, moving about footloose and fancy free, I'm happy to be on my own.

I'm not up on the affairs of the world.

I only know that in this age of progress, social life should be open.

Couples together cued in lines, I'm a fool for the foxtrot.

Old style or new, I can't be bothered.

I just know that free flowers must bear free blossoms.

What's in store for the future, I'm happily oblivious.

No cares or troubles, the fox-trotting life is for me.

-- "The Dance Age" (1933)
