我沒參加奔月大賽，但看其中兩隊競爭得如此激烈，也來喊個燒，貼個應景的西洋歌曲《Dancing on the Moon》。預祝搶先登月成功的隊伍，在月球上好好的跳個舞。

 

這首歌的原唱是 Trade Martin，在1962首錄推出，但原來的歌名是《We'll be Dancing on the Moon》，之後被先前介紹過的香港回音樂隊( The Fabulous Echoes )將之改編翻唱，這在當年也是一首頗為流行及有趣的西洋歌曲。

 

只是我很疑惑，歌詞中一直唱 Mash Patato ( Potato 的筆誤？)，和上月球跳舞又有什麼關係？

加註(2016.03.18)：Mash Patato為早年流行的一種舞步。
