Day-O 天亮囉!! Banana Boat Song

Temperature: 0 °C

今晚突然想起這首歌~Banana boat song

這首歌是敘述黑人奴隸在夜間搬運香蕉上船時的工作歌。

知道這首歌是由於1988年，Harry Belafonte在電影《Beetlejuice》(陰間大法師)中演出這首歌。

當然，我可不是1988年看這部電影的啦@@

雖說這電影在當時是恐怖電影.....

但這首Banana Boat Song曲調輕鬆，說真...我是感受不到恐怖的氣氛啦....喜劇多一點!!


其實我對最後陰間大法師排隊等待投胎時，偷換等待序號而被報復，縮小了頭…這一幕...印象頗深刻啊~
