本网小评：一直以来，Jack Johnson的歌总渲染有太多怀旧的色调。作为一部逗乐的儿童电影主题曲，Upside down本应该轻松不断、诙谐有加，但不知为什么，听这首曲子，心灵深处触摸的并不是小猴的调皮，而是调皮外表下一颗敏感孤独的心。 与Talk of the town相比，Upside down带有原始风味的鼓声更别具特色。如果说Talk of the town倾洒的是吉他声里流淌的清凉，那么，Upside down更容易让您在鼓声中感受到丛林深处的神秘和活力。虽说整首曲子节奏轻松，但轻松的鼓点却难以掩藏歌曲深处的忧伤——孤单童年不被大人理解的忧伤。童年时，我们很多次都如小猴一样，总能在平淡中发现一点新奇，也常因探求新奇而闯祸，从而招致大人无奈的神情甚或责骂……

 详解 清凉海风：Talk of the town

   Lyrics

Upside down        by Jack Johnson

Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Will it all keep spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away

Is this how it's supposed to be?
Is this how it's supposed to be?
