RALLY MONKEY

MLB 球季休息中
就來瞭解一下其他有趣的事物
今天來瞭解洛杉磯天使的吉祥物 Rally Monkey
以前常常看天使
當球隊落後時
就會有一堆球迷拿出一隻隻手長長的小猴子跳來跳去
而這隻小猴子就是天使隊的吉祥物
他的名字叫做 Rally Monkey(逆轉猴)

In an exclusive interview with RallyMonkey.com, the Rally Monkey revealed a few of his favorite things to our staff writer. Here are some highlights from their meeting.

RALLY MONKEY 1

The first question everyone asks is "How did it all start?"

The legend of the Rally Monkey began June 6, 2000 as the Anaheim Angels were losing to the San Francisco Giants. Video crew members were pulling out all the stops in their attempt to whip up some crowd support.

They came across a video clip from the 1994 hit movie "Ace Ventura, Pet Detective," staring Jim Carrey, that showed a monkey jumping up and down. They superimposed the words "Rally Monkey" over it and flashed it on the JumboTron. The crowd roared.

The Angels rallied, scoring two runs in the last inning to win.

(逆轉猴是在2000年6月6日誕生的。當天在主場的天使隊於比賽的九局下半仍落後給舊金山巨人(San Francisco Giants)兩分。兩位電子看板操作員Dean Fraulino和Jason Humes從金凱瑞(Jim Carrey)1994年的喜劇電影《王牌威龍》(Ace Ventura: Pet Detective)上剪了一段猴子跳來跳去的短片,並加上了"Rally Monkey!"的字樣以振奮士氣。到終場,天使隊逆轉贏了這場跨聯盟的比賽。因此逆轉猴一炮而紅,球隊也決定以猴子作為螢幕宣傳的主角。)

Before long, the Angels needed their own monkey and hired Katie, the white-face capuchin monkey featured on "Friends," to film a series of new Rally Monkey promos. Katie filmed a series of spots including the standard "Jump Around" clip that is now shown. She also filmed the legendary "Believe in the Power of the Rally Monkey" clip.

Since then, the Rally Monkey has been superimposed in video clips from Hollywood hits such as Star Wars, Jerry Maguire, Scream and many more.

這隻白色的卷尾猴名叫Katie,在影集《六人行》(Friends)中扮演Marcel,男主角之一Ross(David Schwimmer飾)的寵物。如今她有了新的任務:在關鍵時刻或是比分落後時替天使隊的球員和球迷們打氣。她會在House of Pain樂團的"Jump Around"音樂中出場,有時手上還會拿著宣示逆轉時刻到來的"Rally Time!"招牌。

(逆轉猴最神奇的事蹟發生在2002年的世界大賽(World Series),在關鍵的第六場比賽。七局上半,天使隊仍然落後給對手巨人隊五分,但在接下來的兩個半局天使連追六分,最終以一分之差擊敗巨人,並在隔天晚上贏得了隊史首座的世界冠軍。逆轉猴成了天使隊的象徵,時至今日,球迷們仍會帶著填充猴娃娃到天使球場為他們的球隊喝采。)

而這 Rally Monkey 的音樂其實很好聽
它是一首在90年代末期的 Hip-Hop 舞曲
是 House of Pain 所演唱的 Lump Around

House Of Pain
/ Jump Around

Pack it up, pack it in

Let me begin

I came to win

Battle me that's a sin

I won't tear the sack up

Punk you'd better back up

Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up

Get up, stand up, come on!

Come on, throw your hands up

If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling

Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk

Yo, I'll bust em in the eye

And then I'll take the punks home

Feel it, funk it

Amps it are junking

And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are dunking

Donuts shop

Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill

Plus my mom and my pops

 

[Chorus ]

 

I came to get down (2x)

So get out your seats and jump around

Jump around (3x)

Jump up Jump up and get down.

Jump (18x)

I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe

If your steps up, I'm smacking the ho

Word to your moms I came to drop bombs

I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms

And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned

Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned

Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none

So if you come to battle bring a shotgun

But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death

Try and step to me you'll take your last breath

I gots the skill, come get your fill

Cause when I shoot ta give, I shoot to kill

 

[Chorus ]

 

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top

I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop

Or better yet a terminator

Like Arnold Schwarzenegger

Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega

But I ain't going out like no punk bitch

Get used to one style and you know I might switch

It up up and around, then buck buck you down

Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead

I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya

Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya

 

[Chorus ]

Jump (32x)

 

Yo, this is dedicated

To Joe, da flava, Dakota

Grag yo bozac, punk
