HC：「三十年飛躍搖滾」（Thirty Flight Rock）的翻譯似乎有點可商議。我想它或許是「三十年（Thirty）飛航（Flight）亂流震蕩（Rock）」的雙關語（PUN）--謝謝小讀者更正---

Thirty Flight Rock 是借用搖滾樂手Eddie Cochran的歌曲Twenty Flight Rock的文字遊戲

歌中的Flight指幾層樓樓梯, 不可數名詞

Twenty Flight Rock (Fairchild/Cochran)

Oh I get a girl with a record machine

When it comes to rockin she's the queen

We go to dance on saturday night

I'm all alone and I hold her tight

But she live on the twentieth floor in town

The elevator's broken down

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag

Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Well she called me up on the telephone

Said "come on over, baby, I'm all alone"

I said "baby, you're mighty sweet

But I'm in bed with the achin' feet"

This went on for a couple of days

But I could not stay away

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag

Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Yeah, we sent to Chicago for repairs

Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs

I love you, baby, wanna see your face

I love you baby, too much to wait

All this climbing is gettin me down

They'll find my cold feet over the rail

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four

five, six, seven flight, eight flight more

Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag

Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
