這是我最喜歡的一首老友歌曲,出現(xiàn)在第2季第21集的片尾,MONICA被開除后找到間名叫moondance的餐廳當(dāng)廚師,不但要穿上很夸張的服裝工作,還要隨著顧客點(diǎn)播的歌曲站在餐廳中間的桌子上跳舞,聽起來實(shí)在悲慘,卻被處理得幽默而溫情。這首歌就是五位老友去餐廳看望MONICA的時候點(diǎn)播的,節(jié)奏很強(qiáng),舞蹈動作又很滑稽,每次看到這里我都會笑掉下巴。
YMCA的意思是“基督教青年會”,是一個宗教性質(zhì)的青年慈善團(tuán)體,在全世界各地都有分部。大熱70年代的黑人演唱團(tuán)體the village people有過很多著名的歌曲,但流傳最廣的還是這首《YMCA》,雄霸美國DISCO十?dāng)?shù)年,在很多電視節(jié)目中都有出現(xiàn),鮮明輕快的節(jié)奏和隨著“Y-M-C-A”的歌聲起舞的“雙手高舉——雙手在面前合圍——雙手向右作半圓——雙手在頭頂合成尖形”的動作是美國文化中符號性的場景。
