昨天熬夜寫稿，竟然在我完成的那一刻斷線，而且沒暫存檔
幹他媽太剛好了吧(不得不讓我懷疑是人為)，以後打長文還是在word先打好再貼過來...
我首次聽這首曲子，是小高一看14屆學長全表演的時候，隔不久就被騙進來了(廢話 XD)
15屆拿它當進行曲(初次上場可能是百年校慶遊行)，印象較深的任務有兩個：
1.嘉管遊行，這首對Sax是非常輕鬆的休息曲，只有3個不同的音..
可惜我前一天晚上熬夜看了太多電視(!?)，遊行結束時早累的不成人形，
只能眼睜睜看著其他組員去聯誼...這就叫「本末倒置」嗎？
2.澳洲--布里斯本千人大合奏，
讓你充分體驗什麼是種族歧視，在場外喝一整晚的西北風後，
於堆滿馬糞的場子裡吹每次都有別隊在第一拍放炮的"You Can Call Me Al"，
出場時還被白人死小孩扔糖果，這算15屆鳥任務之首吧，幹。

[考證]
"You Can Call Me Al"是美國名搖滾樂手Paul Simon在1986年
為美國喜劇演員Chevy Chase主演的電視劇所寫的插曲。
之後的合集"Graceland"拿下了葛萊美獎最佳專輯。

Paul Simon發跡的早、也紅很久，從1958～1990的歌壇都有他的足跡。
他最初主修英國文學，鍾情的卻是音樂，當時60年代流行的樂風是校園民歌
他就找了朋友Art Garfunkel組一個二重唱，將搖滾樂風融入其中。
Simon才華洋溢，做詞、作曲全由他一首包辦，他非常明白自己的缺點--其貌不揚，
而Garfunkel長的很帥、又會唱歌，兩人的組合可謂截長補短，風靡全美。
至今仍有許多老一輩的人對他們的音樂念念不忘。
這是BMG前年重發片的專輯，左邊比較俗的那個就是Simon：

到了1970年，Simon已經夠紅，不需要帥哥再替他打知名度了，
Garfunkel其實喜歡演戲更甚於唱歌，想往好萊塢發展，兩人宣告拆夥。
上下交相利...資本主義就是這樣。此後20年他們形同陌路，不再聯絡。
Simon單飛後依然創作不輟，2002年他得到了葛來美的終生成就藝人獎。
現在有老婆(第三任)跟4個小孩。

[歌詞]
A man walks down the street,
He says, Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard!
I need a photo-opportunity,
I want a shot at redemption!
Don't want to end up a cartoon,
In a cartoon graveyard .....
Bonedigger, Bonedigger,
Dogs in the moonlight.
Far away, my well-lit door.
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
Get these mutts away from me!
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore ....
If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Betty,
And Betty, when you call me,
You can call me Al!
A man walks down the street,
He says, Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention,
And whoa, my nights are so long!
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model?
Now that my role-model is ....
Gone ...... gone,
He ducked back down the alley,
With some roly-poly, little bat-faced girl.
All along .... along ....
There were incidents and accidents,
There were hints and allegations .....
If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Betty,
And Betty, when you call me,
You can call me Al!
Call me Al ......
A man walks down the street,
It's a street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the Third World.
Maybe it's his first time around.
He doesn't speak the language,
He holds no currency.
He is a foreign man,
He is surrounded by the sound, sound ....
Cattle in the marketplace.
Scatterlings and orphanages.
He looks around, around .....
He sees angels in the architecture,
Spinning in infinity,
He says, Amen! and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Betty,
And Betty, when you call me,
You can call me Al!
You can call me Al ......
